    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! We do a GPA system. The highest they've set the cut-off is 3.3 and the lowest is 2.9.....word on the street (ie. advisors are saying) ours is looking like a 3.1.... I have a 3.8 right now,...

  4. Those Baby Shows

    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    TV shows are all about the drama. So they're going to cut/paste clips together to make everything look perfect or hellish, depending on the feeling they're going for. I know someone who was on a...

  10. Peace Corps and Nursing?

    LiveZen replied to slou!'s topic in General Nursing

    Just found out something about student loans in relation to the Peace Corps. Loans through private lenders (non-federal) such as a bank, are NOT eligible for deferment while in service. This means...

  11. Those Baby Shows

    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Glad this thread has caught some interest. I was figuring most people around here didn't like the shows...which is perfectly fine with me. I'm pretty much a sucker for any medical/baby shows...I think...

  15. Patient Care Tech/Assistant

    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all the OP;s. Part Time PCA's around here work 2- 12 hour shifts a week. I'm not sure the hospitals around here are very flexible...and I'm thinking it might become a problem when I start...

  16. Patient Care Tech/Assistant

    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in General Nursing

    [i did it for 4 years. It is hard work, and it's sressful at times, but it's fantastic practice.] Miko, Thanks for your response! One of the things I'm concerned about is handling the position while...

  17. Those Baby Shows

    LiveZen replied to LiveZen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LiveZen replied to Love_2_Learn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  23. Peace Corps and Nursing?

    LiveZen replied to slou!'s topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me like just going through the hospital orientation process should be enough, especially since you will be using your medical skills wherever you end up. It's exciting to see there's someone...
