Thanks for the input. I checked out their web page and like what I see so far. I'm just going to use it as another tool. Thanks again!

My school is going to start requiring ATI NCLEX prep course as part of the nursing curriculum - as if we didn 't have enough to do right now. I'm going into my last semester so I'm not too upset about it but when we were informed that we had to foot...

did you feel it was helpful? From what I understand we have to take the tests at certain points but they do not reflect on our grade.

I so can't wait for this semester to end. One of our instructors is retiring and I swear she is trying to weed out as many people as possible this semester. Every little tiny nit picky thing on paperwork. It wouldn't be bad, but she's not consiste...

I'm happy to say that our course coordinator has taken our complaints seriously. In my program we have documentation to back up our skills for each rotation. Some of us who have had clinicals with the coordinator and have then had them with the "pr...

OMG! I feel at home. I am having the most horrible rotation right now. Thank goodness it ends tomorrow. This CI is so passive-aggressive. Tells you nothing about her expectations but has no problem cutting you down when you can't read her mind. ...

I was kinda in the same boat as you. I was a paralegal and was making a career change to nursing. I decided to go whole hog, quit my job at the firm and started as a US at a hospital. It's definitely the best choice. You obviously have administra...

I am so happy. I got into HACC Gettysburg's Spring 2011 Program. Yeah!!!!! After 5 years of part-time I only have another 2 years to go!

Great story! Made me chuckle. Good thing mom picked up on your vibe to explain the hair loss.

The fiasco is the financial mess that has become PHEAA. Where to start....the overpaid executives who also gave themselves massive bonuses. The trips that were taken and paid for, the list goes on and on.

I was totally PO'd when I saw this. Especially in light of the big PHEAA fiasco. I am definitely writing Rendell and the state legislature. I know the economy is iffy. But how does suspending the program help all of us who have taken out loans un...

I agree that you might want to stop reading this site if you are hooked. Especially if you are a typical college student (i.e. young). Please don't take this the wrong way, but after you have a little life experience, you can read between the lines...

I was a paralegal for a personal injury/med mal attorney (currently a nursing student now). What you said is true, a sorry does go a long way. Most often clients would refuse to bring other doctors or wish to really pursue a nurse if they liked the...

How can you not disclose what meds you are on if you have to take a urinalysis? I mean, you don't need to tell them why you are on them and I don't believe they can ask you why, but you would still have to disclose it, wouldn't you? I rootin' for yo...

Have you tried your local "freecycle" site? I use two in my area. I post when I'm looking for stuff of if I have stuff to offer. No selling, just recycling for free. Good luck. Try this link to find a group in your area. http://www.freecycle.org/f...

I need some advice. I'm to apply to lpn clinicals here in another week or so. I have an excellent chance of getting accepted. Problem is what's going on at home. Husband says he supports me, blah, blah, blah. We've talked about me not working wh...

As much as I hate to say it, I can see the road ahead will be rocky. But we will survive. My entire family is behind me (as is his). He seems to be the only one who doesn't realize he has a problem. I only hope he sees that he needs help before i...

When hubby is working out of town and I was full time outside the home, the girls would get frozen pizza and some canned green beans on the side with a Flinstones chewable for dessert!!!! They couldn't have been happier! Then we did the hamper div...

I too believe in "in sickness and health". So I'm not taking this capriously. What hurts is that I've had some health problems the last year and he has totally blown me off to deal with them on my own. If not for my sister, I don't know what I'd d...

You did not offend me, I may not subscribe to someone's religious background, but I believe all prayer no matter what faith is a good thing! Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I believe I've decided to simply continue on with getting my RN part-time. I was a paralegal for 15 years before losing my job. I can make good living at home for now. I can suck it up and stay with the girls while slowly but sur...

thanks everyone. I guess it just really comes down to me making a hard decision. I have a lot to think about. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I've been "back in school" since 2005. So I've been taking my time. I lost my job in 9/07 and have been home since. His drinking waxes and wanes, but I know it will only get worse. I do attend al-anon meetings and am in the...

I respect your opinion, but do disagree. We are students and I refuse to do all of the work on top of everything else I have to do. Why should my lazy lab partner get a good grade off of me! I definitely don't want that person to get ahead in the ...

I'm applying to the nursing program that starts Jan. 08. But this fall I'm taking A&P I and Psychology of Adjustment.
