   nurse2be2008 replied to doglvr's topic in Pennsylvania

   I currently work at Abington as a Clinical Associate (CNA). I will be graduating from their nursing program in June and I'm also worried about this "job freeze". We are being told to apply even though there aren't many openings listed. However, I hav...

2. Abington Memorial - Dixon School of Nursing???

   nurse2be2008 replied to BelleRN2B's topic in Pennsylvania

   I just started the RN program at Abington in August. It's a hard program to get into because they get so many applications and only have 60 seats for the day program and 60 for the evening program. However, it is a wonderful school and I love it so f...

3. OMG--is US$32 per hour as starting too good to be true or really true in Los Angeles?

   nurse2be2008 replied to FutureUSRN's topic in International

   It's probably true since California is one of the states with the highest nursing salaries. I hear that it's because the cost of living up there is pretty high.

   nurse2be2008 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in New York

   I'm not a nurse yet (just started nursing school) but I hate when people ask me that too. I've never even considered being a doctor. I don't want to be on call and I don't want to pay rediculously high medical malpractice rates! I want to have a norm...

7. What's your motivation to graduate?

   nurse2be2008 replied to suzi_h's topic in General Students

   I started nursing school this week and have worked so hard to get to this point. There is no turning back I've come too far. I have a picture of a 2007 Infiniti G35 that I want really bad. I plan to carry it around as a bit of motivation and take a p...

   You can buy college textbooks at walmart.com and they offer a bill me later option. I got all my nursing texts from them and my bill is just $10/month. Oh, and you can choose the overnight shipping option. Hope this helps. Good luck.

13. Nursing Kit? and Lab Kit?

    nurse2be2008 replied to traumaQN's topic in General Students

    The kits are customized by the school that's probably why the prices will vary for each school. I'm also very curious to see what I paid so much money for.

14. Nursing Kit? and Lab Kit?

    nurse2be2008 replied to traumaQN's topic in General Students

    My school also required that we purchase a Nursing Kit. It cost $207.75 and I have no idea what's included! It will ship directly to the school and I ordered it online at www.courseyenterprises.com
