  1. just got done with "interview" at UT

    Kathyz replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I don't think it's dumb. I think it's honest and that's what they're looking for. I think they want to make sure that they're selecting individuals who have thought this through and are not...

  2. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    Kathyz replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I kind of like the $500 electronic Littman. A nurse in my organic chem class told me today no way. First off, they "walk off" and secondly, I can get along just fine with a $50 one. But the...

  3. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Well this week's a bust. Hopefully next week. I'll keep you posted if I hear

  4. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I heard from someone this afternoon who applied to the ABSN program the following: 1) they haven't mailed out the letters 2) they haven't even made any decisions They told her they looked in her file....

  5. I got in!!

    Kathyz replied to Megsd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!!

  6. Paying to release transcripts?

    Kathyz replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college doesn't charge as long as you make "reasonable requests". Probably because it was so much to go they figure they owe you

  7. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    Kathyz replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like such a loser. I haven't bought anything. I should be getting "hopefully" my acceptance letter this week or next week into the accelerated BSN program. So we need a stethoscope? (See,...

  8. Just got my Emory letter

    Kathyz replied to droopy1592's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to both of you! Good

  9. No Chemistry

    Kathyz replied to Fox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is that even possible??? I have a lady in my organic chem class who needs OC in order to get her BSN. (She already has her RN.) Chem really isn't that bad. It takes time and

  10. Maybe nursing isn't for me

    Kathyz replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about it. Hang in there. A&P is not an easy class. Next time get up early, maybe look over your cards and give yourself plenty of time. I'm sure flying to class didn't make you...

  11. Launching the dreaded "Unknown" project in Micro tomorrow

    Kathyz replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    StPauli, can you help me out, you micro whiz?? What the heck is all this Differential vs Selective, inhibitors, etc? We're having a lab quiz Tues and I haven't the slighest clue. Any

  12. Mom trying to talk me out of nursing

    Kathyz replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mom and husband both said the same thing to me 5 years ago ("You can't wipe butts.") Funny thing is, my husband runs a nursing home and my mom volunteered at one! They did have an idea as to what...

  13. Acceptance rates for Accelerated BSN programs?

    Kathyz replied to sui generis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In Chicago they get 350 applicants for 60

  14. I Got In!!!

    Kathyz replied to carolinapooh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's great CP. I was wondering how your interview went. You are on your way! Try to enjoy your time between now and

  15. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    No. I still run everyday to the mail box. I received a letter from them last week all excited only to find out it was an alumni card I applied for. Where are you taking your pre-reqs

  16. Rush/Loyola's Accelerated BSN Program

    Kathyz replied to gogatsby's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I also forgot to mention that Rush requires an interview and the NLN test I believe (some test; I'm not familiar with them). Usually they will call you for an interview, you go down there and take...

  17. Launching the dreaded "Unknown" project in Micro tomorrow

    Kathyz replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You seem like a really great student to me. Go at your own pace and don't let any uncompromising lab partners bother you!! We don't get our unknowns until April. So good luck and let me know how it...

  18. A&P without biology?

    Kathyz replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it without Biology. I believe I had Bio in high school so believe me when I say I didn't remember a thing. You don't need Bio. A&P goes over the basics in the beginning. Good

  19. Rush/Loyola's Accelerated BSN Program

    Kathyz replied to gogatsby's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Rush has a few more pre-reqs, mainly Math I believe. I'm looking into both programs. I applied to LUC and am waiting to hear anyday now. Rush is great too, but for me it's out of the way and you...

    Good

  21. Internet Porn at work-need advice

    Kathyz replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I would not confront the nurse. Go to your manager immediately and tell her everything (including the calendar). If you don't, when this all blows up, you don't want your mgr mad at you for not...

  22. I feel silly

    Kathyz replied to gayleraff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once you're in the program it's probably 2 years. But it will take some time to get there. If your questions aren't answered during the informational session, do not hesitate to pull someone aside...

  23. Sociology Question

    Kathyz replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not very much. Most of the shows on TV are a waste of time. I watch A&E, 48 hours, Court TV, PBS, shows like that. Sorry I couldn't be of more

  24. ADN or BSN? I already have unrelated BA

    Kathyz replied to JenniferK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a Master's Degree and I'm going the BSN route. Yes, it's much more expensive, however, it's only 13.5 months. The pay rate isn't any different in Chicago. However, I'd rather finish and have...

    Kathyz replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
