  4. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    graceomalleyRN replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    I actually listened to Glenn Beck for years back in Tampa (it's where he started). His TV show is so different I never would've recognized him, so I don't watch it. On the radio he is very...

  7. Survey: Two Choices

    graceomalleyRN replied to Future-nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also would opt for number one. All the time and effort spent "adding" would be better spent concentrating on getting A's in your courses. Taking prereqs is a difficult business, I wouldn't make it...

  8. science prerequisites

    graceomalleyRN replied to Koofster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I respectfully disagree with Daytonite about it "being a rule" that the science prerequisites be under 10 years. It depends on the school. I will agree that MOST programs require them to be less than...

  11. Can't get the loss of one pt out of my head!

    graceomalleyRN replied to sleeplessonthelake's topic in General Nursing

    Rick, Since you said you are religious, may I be so bold as to suggest God was in control that night. He put you in that young girl's final hour for a purpose, and I believe you fulfilled it. You...

    graceomalleyRN replied to SunnyCaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, So over the last 20 years I've attempted Chem several times. This is probably my fourth or fifth Chem class. I was forced to drop every other time. I kept giving up on nursing as a goal. Got my...

    graceomalleyRN replied to nialloh's topic in General Nursing

    I learned this in the 1st grade (and I'm 41 now). That you could OD even on aspirin. This was in the early 70's and I thank my school district for giving us this information early. I have a personal...

  19. ADN or BSN

    graceomalleyRN replied to LV2BME's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends. First of all, is there a waitlist for the BSN program? How many are turned away for every seat? If you don't get into the BSN in January '09, how long could you end up waiting?...

    graceomalleyRN replied to RheatherN's topic in General Nursing
