I hope you're never my nurse. Quite frankly, your attitude sucks.

I don't know anything about music, but wouldn't a Master's in something like music education be more helpful for your career goals than piano performance? Just a thought. Don't pursue nursing; it's not a backup career. It's hard and involves contin...

I'm so sorry. I've never had my heart broken, but I've been in some pretty low places where I wasn't sure I could make it through the day. The best thing to do-- the only thing, really-- is to take it one day at a time. Take the next few weeks to ...

Nursing homes, Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance are all areas that might require a specialist to figure out. If your client does not have a sound-enough mind (or the patience, or the wherewithal) to wade through all of this, you can direct her (or ...

If your bras aren't fitting right, you're wearing the wrong size. Check out a subreddit called "A bra that fits" to find out how to accurately measure your size. I was surprised with my results but now my bras are comfortable and no longer slip. A...

I'm on the west coast and I just got my acceptance letter today! My stats are: 2.71 on first BA (whoops), 3.6 on second BA, and As and Bs on the prereqs. I'm also a veteran and I wrote about that in my essay.

Since the 15th is a Sunday, do you think they'll send out the letters on Friday (tomorrow) or Monday? I'm on the west coast so it'll be a few days before mine gets to me anyways...

I don't think it's jealousy; I think it's your attitude. Nobody likes a know-it-all.

I think you should ponder SourLemon's question about why you see nursing as the answer. Maybe you have some undisclosed reasons that you didn't share with us, and that's fine. But if you think nursing will be "easy" or a good way to get rich, you nee...

In a state I used to live in (liberal New England state, but also a right-to-work state), if you handed in your two weeks' notice and were subsequently terminated because of that, the company was legally required to pay you for that time (because you...

I also suggest PERRLA. It's not free (7/month or like 50 bucks for a year) but it is amazing! It's an add-on for Microsoft Word and I have never, ever, ever had it be wrong. I even once had a professor write something like "thank you for doing APA...

Emory University in Atlanta just started an online accelerated BSN. There are set login times and apparently they set you up with the clinical portion near where you live. In addition to normal prereqs, you also have to be a CNA.

I'm a firm believer in, "If you want something bad enough, you will do anything to get it." If the school near you won't accept you, then you need to look further afield. Maybe you could move 75 miles away so you're halfway between where you are no...

You should apply. Just because you apply, and just because you get in, doesn't mean you have to go. So I say apply, do your 1 year of bedside nursing, and then decide if you want and feel ready to do the NP portion.

I took microbiology, chemistry, A&P1, and statistics all in the same semester. It was crazy, I felt like I was drowning, and I do not recommend doing that. But just micro and chem sounds do-able if you prioritize your studying. You still migh...

I applied! I submitted the application in March, but I am waiting on one more transcript. I actually haven't even requested it to be sent yet because the class I am in doesn't end until May 8. I decided sending in more pre-reqs a little late would ...

I published during undergrad in a pretty prestigious physics journal. My advisor was listed as co-author, as was an international colleague of his who had peripherally given him the idea. I did the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of calculatio...

That's a funny anecdote and one that I wouldn't mind my classmates telling me about. This might be the problem. It's not WHAT you say, necessarily, but HOW MUCH you are talking. There's a girl in my class who constantly interjects with stories abo...

As the mother of two children, may I suggest...Start cutting your expenses NOW! Do you start in the fall? Pretend you start today, and save all that extra money. Stop getting coffee, stop going out to eat, stop spending gas money to shuttle other p...

Even as a lowly fellow nursing student I can recognize your errors in this exam. You got an F, my friend...accept it and move on as appropriate.

I think, deep down, you know the answer to your own question. The commute is long and potentially unsafe, the manager is flaky...you might want ICU, but you don't want this job. Start in med surg, transfer down the line. It might not sound glamoro...

You're not a failure. Say that out loud: "I am not a failure." You might think you are, but you're wrong. It's never too late to start over. It's never too late to do what you want to do. Just recognize that this isn't for you and change directions...

"700,000 million people are overweight 108,000 million children are overweight" Seven hundred thousand million people? I don't think these numbers are correct...

I never wanted to be a nurse either. But at 32 with two useless Bachelor's degrees, I thought "what do I have to lose?" I grew up in the 90s when there was no such thing as "STEM" and girls weren't encouraged to get into the science field. As a re...

Hello fellow Navy veteran, Who told you the GI Bill won't pay for an ABSN? It's paying for mine! The GI Bill annual cap is 22k-ish per year. My school is 13k/quarter, so more than the 22k/year. HOWEVER, the VA "year" starts in August, while my pr...
