2. Student loans

   babbz replied to curlysue82's topic in General Nursing

   I have a few ideas: 1) Getting an RN from a community college is the best way to go since the tuition is low and an RN degree is always an RN degree anywhere in the country. So if you can't afford your first choice for RN school, then go CC. I do and...

   babbz replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

   I saw the same show you did last night and they actually had a scene with my school (BMCC, NY) in the background so that was cool. Also remember the scene with the twins? That was sweet, he's their uncle! Anyway, it's a very high functioning disorder...

9. Calling out sick...?

   babbz replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, do not go into work!! DO NOT go into work!! Forget the guilt, think about how guilty you will feel when patients with already compromised immune systems become increasingly ill because of you. Most improtant, remember that someone will alwa...

10. Why "Client" and not "Patient"?

    babbz replied to edogs334's topic in General Students

    I only prefer terms like "resident" for long-term care facilities and "patient" for acute-care or other medical facilities. The whole "client" term is not something that I think will work out. It doesn't suit at all. I was in the hospital for a month...

15. School and Work

    babbz replied to cjnyc's topic in New York

    Yes, it is very doable to work while doing pre-clins. But once you get into the nursing program it's extremely hard to work and do well on clins because of the time commitment needed for clins. One thing I must remind everyone is that school or gov't...
