    How many days a week are you in class/clinicals?

    manna replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Beginning my junior year of a BSN program this summer, and we'll be in school 5 days a week. Lecture/clinical hours vary from week to week, but it's just about like a full-time job. Mon thru Fri,...

    ADN vs BSN

    manna replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can reasonably make any broad assumptions about which type of programs are better - statements about whether ADN or BSN programs offer better prep for the NCLEX, or which type of...

    Balancing chemical equations?

    manna replied to blue eyes's topic in General Students

    I despised my chemistry course. May have been because I took it online and didn't get much feedback as to what I was doing right/wrong. I agree with the previous poster - the best way to understand...

    I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    manna replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with one of the other posters... never say never. Of course, I'm one of those goofy people who value higher education for education's sake alone, I'd probably be a professional student the...

    Have you tried salary.com? Or try posting in the TN forum for some area specific information. I know a little bit about the Memphis area, since I live in Mississippi (and not too terribly far...

    Trigonometry and Nursing

    manna replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Students

    We're required to have algebra, statistics, and at least one other math (higher level than algebra). I took trig a few years ago when I wasn't sure of what my major was, but they accepted it for my...

    Children!

    manna replied to rn711's topic in Nursing Humor

    No way! LOL :chuckle My preschooler - I caught him picking his nose and wiping it on the couch and seats, so of course I promptly and firmly told him to stop. Next time I caught him picking his...

    Nurses who smoke

    manna replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, I'll agree with that (I admit I didn't read the whole thread before posting my little piece above). I personally would prefer that smoking be banned in most public places - if I don't choose to...

    Accelerated BSN or BSN/MSN?

    manna replied to Annabelle57's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd say do the accel. BSN first - that way, you can be really sure and have a little more confidence/experience in the specialty field you want to pursue you masters in. Good luck!

    Nurses who smoke

    manna replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If people want to smoke, that's their choice - nurses or not. Sure, you'd think that medical professionals would be greater aware of the risk and make decisions likewise. For others, the pleasure...

    Required Malpractice Insurance?

    manna replied to kea6783's topic in General Nursing

    Separate malpractice insurance (a student policy through nso.com is $20/year) is mandatory in our program. I get a lot of criticism for enrolling in a BSN program as well (not here, or online - but...

    What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    manna replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    My EFC was $4,000 until they figured in my "special circumstances form" (I won a truck that had to be filed on my taxes as "income" last year, and I'm quitting my full-time job in June) - now it's...

    how can i score a job in a dept. w/o a degree?

    manna replied to krissypoo's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is... good luck! If the area you live in is as job-starved as it is here, you'd be lucky getting a job at all - much less one without any relevant skills. Sorry to be a bummer,...

    Nursing Blogs??

    Livejournal has several nursing communities - including nursing, student_nurses, and nurses_notes I have a blog there myself (not updated recently) that will probably soon become nursing-related since...

    Religion's Place in Nursing

    manna replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the whole thing is a two-edged sword. The non-believers will always feel pressured by the Christians because of their "our way is the only way philosophy," and the Christians will always feel...

    Pediatrician's with children vs. Peds. without

    manna replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    Our pediatrician isn't actually a ped at all - but a family practice doctor (who way back in med school/residency did a special study in the area of geriatrics)! We love him, though - and he's great...

    What's The Deal With A 4.0 Gpa?

    manna replied to Tx-top nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had no problem getting in with a 3.8 whatsoever - at a BSN program in Mississipi. Even got some scholarships to boot. Good luck, Tx, and hope you find a school that fits for you!
