1. Staring into the abyss of education

   lady_db_programmer replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Do yourself a favor and don't get ahead of yourself. Easier said than done, I know. You need to focus your energy and attention on what's in front of you and what's immediately ahead. I wouldn't bother thinking ahead any further than the next semes...

2. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

   lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Texas

   I already have a BA, so an accelerated BSN is an option. I'm just wondering if a $50k debt burden would be worth it. How much are TCU nurses making right out of school?

3. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

   lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Texas

   I don't have any student loan debt, but then again I don't want to get myself $50k in the hole if I don't have to. I've heard good things about TCU, but I'm wondering if a BSN from them is worth the $50k, since obviously it has to be paid back and d...

4. Staring into the abyss of education

   When you're 18, four years can seem like forever. Trust me, it's not. It goes by in a flash.

5. I am shocked!!!!

   lady_db_programmer replied to student_girl's topic in General Students

   As a Flight attendent, the general rule is no drinking 12 hours before a flight. The joke with crew is that it is actually "12 feet"... Another side to look at is, what about sleep deprivation? How many nurses go to work deprived of sleep. I think ...

   I was going by discovernursing.com's listings. I'm sure they'd love to know about their mistake. Sales tax in DFW is pretty much the highest in the state, though it's a bit lower in SA. Your property tax is only $5,200? Lucky! My parents paid a...

7. Is it true?

   lady_db_programmer replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

   I already have a BA and I think it's perfectly fair. I think pell grant money should be set aside for people who don't have degrees, not for people who want a second degree. Non-degree holders have to come first; there is only so much money to go a...

   Smoking pot wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't illegal, but it is. I'd guess failing a drug test could be a career-ending situation too; in my line of work you'd be fired for failing a drug test, and all I do is program computers. Lives ...

9. life in AUSTIN Texas

   lady_db_programmer replied to extreme's topic in Texas

   So's Austin, but my husband and I are going to Dallas...so I probably have some taste issues. I've visited the desert southwest and enjoyed it, but Texas is home and always will be. That's all.

10. life in AUSTIN Texas

    lady_db_programmer replied to extreme's topic in Texas

    Arizona just doesn't blow my skirt up. Doesn't mean it's a bad place...we visited Raleigh-Durham a couple of years ago. It was lovely, and the people were the nicest I'd ever met. I wouldn't want to live there, though; it's just not me.

11. Maybe I'm being a baby but..... this annoyed me a bit

    lady_db_programmer replied to JennyRN09's topic in General Students

    I'd be really annoyed if my husband reacted that way. Then again, he's English so he rarely gets excited about anything. (Ha ha ha.) I think there may be some issues there. Maybe he's resentful because you're doing something he wants to do. May...

12. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

    lady_db_programmer posted a topic in Texas

    I was looking at TCU (Texas Christian, in Fort Worth) as a possibility, but it has more pre-reqs than TWU (Texas Women's U, in Denton). On the other hand, it has an accelerated class every year instead of every other year like TWU. Then there's th...

    lady_db_programmer replied to ccunurse123's topic in SRNA

    I'm just gonna jump in here...Texas only has two CRNA courses. One is in the DFW area at Texas Wesleyan and it's horrendously expensive tuition-wise. The other is in Houston at UT Health Science Center and the cost of living is very cheap, but the ...

    Well, yes. I didn't notice when it was originally posted.

    Er....pot is not legal in England. In fact, my neighbor here is banned from traveling to the United States due to his conviction for possession of marijuana. The police may not arrest you on sight if they see you puffing a joint, but it's only beca...
