    AtomicWoman replied to nursin09student's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Check out Discover Student Loans. They offer a 2% principal rebate ("Graduation Reward") when you graduate.

  3. any one else feeling really discouraged about getting in?

    AtomicWoman replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hunny, I'm going to TJ in May for their accelerated BSN program. One hint, no matter which program you apply for: apply as EARLY as you can. They do rolling admissions. So as soon as the application...

  4. Chemistry Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I want to go to one of those schools where your lowest grade gets dropped! LOL! That just hasn't happened with any of my prerequisites, and I'm done with them now. Oh well, it keeps me on my...

  5. Older Nursing Students

    AtomicWoman replied to Neats's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, maybe we should start an "over 50" club! I'll be 51 when I start nursing school next

  6. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone has a beef with the person who leaves their phone on for an emergency or in case there is a problem with the kids. The complaint is the constant texters who just text all the...

  7. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But that WAS the point of many responders: texting is very distracting to the people around the texter. Sure, who gives a rat's backside if someone is sitting in class daydreaming or not paying...

  8. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let's hope the guy was just nervous and forgot where he

  9. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    AtomicWoman replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    OK, folks, imagine the following scenario. A muckraking reporter wants to write an article "exposing" the "bad attitudes" medical personnel have toward patients. The reporter comes to AN and looks...

  10. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    AtomicWoman replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    I must admit that I could tell by the title that the OP was being light-hearted, but I also admit I found it offensive. I KNOW the OP was not intentionally being disrespectful, but that's how it comes...

  11. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Texting in class is rude. Period. To the teacher it says: You are uninteresting and unimportant and so is whatever subject you are talking about. I'd rather talk with my friends than be here right...

  12. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    AtomicWoman replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this happened in any of my classes, the professor would either fail them for suspected cheating, or would make a big show out of making them put their phone away during the test. Sheesh. Some...

  13. I'm on the Alternate list!!!

    AtomicWoman replied to DSTYNURSE09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lots of times, alternates do get in. If it were me, I would prepare as if I were admitted. Then I'd be ready for that phone call! :) Good

  14. Am I too old to start a nursing career?

    AtomicWoman replied to toledogal's topic in Nursing Career

    Every school's prerequisites may not be the same. So you might want to start looking at specific schools and what they require. However, you can't go wrong by starting to get your anatomy and...

  15. So happy! I can't believe I finally get to post one of these!

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

  16. Poked myself with a syringe

    AtomicWoman replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

    What's the deal with recapping? I keep hearing that syringes should not be recapped, because that's when you are most likely to get stuck. But apparently, after reading these posts, recapping is still...

  17. Best states for nursing - salary vs. housing costs

    AtomicWoman replied to centralflorida's topic in General Nursing

    Where in AZ can you get a nice house for $200,000? Just curious. My sister just left the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, and even with the real estate crunch, housing prices there are ridiculous,

  18. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats!!!

  19. Still looking for a job as a new grad...

    AtomicWoman replied to The Skys the Limit's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    OMG! What a nightmare! I'm glad it was resolved

  20. A&P 1 Spring 08

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here are some online quizzes: http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/WEBANATOMY/skeletons_skulls/default.html Here's a site so you can see the bones: http://swc2.hccs.edu/Biol/labs/ap1/ This site is still under...

  21. I thought I was going to die.

    AtomicWoman replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I agree. Just keep saying to yourself "Let it go. Let it go..." In a month or so, the emotional sting will be lessened and you'll have moved on to almost having completed a successful semester of...

  22. Wow, I guess I'm in

    AtomicWoman replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been having CST treatments for years. I don't think they are voodoo at all. :) The guy who developed the treatment was a D.O. and he really understood the spine. I can go into a CST session with...

    AtomicWoman replied to The Skys the Limit's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    SundayJ, did you take the job at CHOP? If so, how do you like it

  24. Who Has the Best Accelerated BSN Program in Philadelphia?

    AtomicWoman replied to smariej14's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Penn's is ridiculously expensive. IMO. And not worth it, at least in terms of NCLEX pass rates (they're usually in the low 90% range). It may help you get a job at Penn if you go to Penn, but I don't...

  25. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although unknowns are pretty anxiety-producing, it's unlikely you'll have anything exotic. Your usual run-of-the-mill bacteria are pretty standard for the unknown: M. lutea, S. Marcescens, E. coli, S....
