  2. Taking notes on a laptop?

    Sorry, I haven't been checking this thread! PM me next time I drop the ball! :wink2: My laptop (and many) has a built in microphone. The OneNote documentation in the helpfile and on Microsoft's website is very good. I figured it all out from that. Th...

    CAN'T WAIT! :-) My last day at my job is this Friday. Glad to be done with it and moving on with my future in nursing, but its scary to leave something you are good at for something new!
  8. NP education - a rant

    Thank you for being willing to learn about what the programs actually entail. I think this is one of the biggest problems: many people don't understand what DE means, or know that many schools do it differently from one another. My program: Requires ...
  9. NP education - a rant

    Gennaver: Don't worry, I'm not in the habit of second guessing life decisions based on posts on a message board! That would be pretty silly. I am very secure in my choice also! I am however, disappointed in the lack of support I have gotten from RNs...
  10. Taking notes on a laptop?

    I would never have time to sit and listen to entire lectures, but I use Microsoft OneNote, which sychs the audio recording to the notes I am making on my laptop. I click the text, and the recording plays from that point so it allows you just to liste...

    Wow, as a schoolwide policy? That's wierd, and unfortunate
  12. Great - 9 months to go and I may have to quit...

    I second that, BigWords.com rocks my world. Old editions can definitely save you money, just make sure that you photocopy the table of contents from the new edition to cross check, because chapter 5 in one edition is NOT necessarily chapter 5 in anot...
  13. What's the best site to order scrubs from??~?

  15. Preparing Emotionally for NS.....

    I went out and bought my study foods. Got chicken soup books at a used store. Reading a couple of novels in the next few weeks to read something fun while I still can, and keep my mind off things to come. Washed and readied all my uniforms. Gave my n...
  16. Great - 9 months to go and I may have to quit...

    DO NOT DROP! YOU CAN DO THIS! You've come way too far to quit now! What has happened to you is crappy for sure, but you're going to rise above it! In addition to the great suggestions above, here are some more: Are you in any church groups or commun...

  18. Confused - Associates or BS

    First of all, welcome! You are in a rock and a hard place with the money, and I can DEFINITELY understand since I am in the red with loans right now! IF you haven't even applied for financial aid yet, you really don't know where you stand. You shoul...
  19. NP w/no desire for RN?

    Unfortunately, it IS like this in the real world. I HAVE heard these kinds of comments directly to my face. Instead of "Good for you, its going to be tough, so best of luck". I get "Huh, you're going to crash and burn, hope you don't do it on my floo...

  21. Dumb question about buying books online..

    While this is generally true, some banks, such as Bank of America have started offering all the same protections on thier check/debit cards as traditional credt cards, so I would check with your bank. This may be a perk you didn't even know you had! ...

    I've taken a lot of classes online, but Id never have the courage to take something so intense as chemistry online! Best of luck to you! I know that online classes are convenient, but have you thought about local community colleges' night/weekend cla...
