    Beary-nice replied to GingerSue's topic in General Students

  3. Applied for a Stafford Loan

    Beary-nice replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had subsidized Stafford loans and I remember finding out right away from my financial aid officer that I had qualified and what the amount was. Otherwise, I also remember prior to the start of each...

    Beary-nice replied to Rita_RN_BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what to say and I am probably naive and stupid but I have had insurance with NSO for the last 18-19 years. My mom had it for the 30 years she was an RN, my mom-in-law is going on 40...

    Beary-nice replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Having lots of trouble

    Beary-nice replied to kim224's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can understand what you are saying. I took almost 2 years of pre-reqs before I went on to a RN program. I felt like I got in a rut, wasn't retaining anything and wondering how I was going to make...

  10. Is LPN school really that hard?!

    Beary-nice replied to clarissairene's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Many moons ago, back in the 80's, I went to LPN school. I was 18, not married, no kids at the time. I found LPN school to be very hard. The instructors thrived on putting the fear of God into a...

    Beary-nice replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    Chemistry was a requirement in my ADN program. Guess it depends where you

  12. How important is Chemistry, really?

    Beary-nice replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    Chemistry bites! I loathed it myself. I stink at math for one thing, so that didn't help. I had a D minus at midterm and would have rather crawled in a hole and died. But, I buckled down, went in...

    From what I can remember, it is to keep pressure off the incision that is made in the neck and to keep pressure off the site where the tumor was

  17. Is it bullying or am I too sensitive???

    Beary-nice replied to Pumiky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sorry that you are having such a tough time. In my opinion, I don't think anyone needs to be yelling a patient's lab values including blood glucose down any hallway. I think maybe you did feel...

  18. When did you stop studying??

    Beary-nice replied to Justme123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. Question about Head injury/surgery

    Beary-nice replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students
