    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you really want to take a sisgnificant amount of time off to work, you should probably also consider a solo accelerated BSN program. And then just apply to a Master's program when you're ready....

  2. Anyone Here Sew their own Scrubs?

    lovingpecola replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about the fabric a lot of folks use for quilting? I need solid navy blue only, but the $2 fabric I found was see-through! I'll look for Trigger next time...but what is the fabric...

  3. Anyone Here Sew their own Scrubs?

    lovingpecola replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    You could also try lightweight denim, which (in white) probably wouldn't look like "jean" and shouldn't be see-through! I had the intention of sewing my own scrubs and using the money I'd save to buy...

  8. What is your favorite grad school course?

    lovingpecola replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    All this talk about research makes me wonder...have any of you tried qualitative research instead of quantitative? It's much less number consuming and much more focused on people/experiences than...

    Hey! I have been looking at the IKEA website and I must say that their furniture seems to run on the small (and low to the floor) side...my hubby is pretty big (6ft and about 225) and pretty solid,...

    lovingpecola replied to LanaBanana's topic in Post Graduate Students

  15. For L&D RNs who are future CNMs: Coping with different model of care??

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Lpn, I think a birthing center would be ideal for me, but the problem is that there aren't enough them to go around! I have read Ina May's work and it's great. I liked Peggy Vincent more though!...

  16. Friends failing class :(

    lovingpecola replied to hollya5334's topic in General Students

    lovingpecola replied to pp516's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can do a basic search on the internet to see the differences between a CV and a resume...they DO NOT have the same rules...a CV SHOULD be more than one page...and I will throw it out there to say...

  23. Including resume in my application
