  7. NP in Rural America

    natrgrrl replied to natrgrrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for your thoughts. I was looking at some stats for NP's and it seems like Iowa has 2 or 3 times more NP's than many other Midwestern states. I guess what I need to do is check out the laws in...

  9. What's harder? Trying to maintain a high GPA or taking TEAS for nursing school?

    natrgrrl replied to preciousbaby621's topic in General Nursing

    I think it might be a better predictor for the school. It's probably easier to do very well on the TEAS than it is to get an A in every class you have to take. My school just started using the TEAS...

  13. Any Accelerated BSN programs offer aid besides loans??

    natrgrrl replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in General Nursing

    Creighton University in Omaha has a scholarship program that is worth checking out. It might require a 3 or 4 year commitment, which seems like a long time but when you consider 100% payment of loans...

  14. Can a nursing student and family survive on one income?

    natrgrrl replied to Sebastiansmom09's topic in General Nursing

    If you can get out of one car payment per month and cut your grocery budget by 1/3 you will have a great start. The most important way to cut expenses is for you and your husband to both agree to cut...

    natrgrrl replied to studentIVlife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you just want to prepare for the class, I would review any of the processes and cycles that you learned in Biology. Meiosis, mitosis, Krebs Cycle, DNA transcription, things like that. The coloring...

    natrgrrl replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do all the schools in your area have a waiting list? My school just switched to a point system, which is great for me. The other 2 year schools around here have waiting lists. I would hate to have to...

    natrgrrl replied to happystar's topic in General Nursing

    Israel, Iraq, Turkey...but only short term. I wouldn't take my family but I don't want to be away from them for years at a time. If I had to choose a dreamy, relaxing environment (after work, of...

  21. Nursing (free tuition) vs. OT (many loans)

    natrgrrl replied to tencents's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure your mother would want you to do what you want to do, but I have to add that once your mother is gone, she's gone. Spend your time with her while she is here. I'm sure any debt you incur will...

    natrgrrl replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Nursing

    Something that helped me with "invisible" stuff was to study the models in lab and then draw out your own diagrams and label them. It really helped me to sketch the stuff in pencil, go over it in...
