  1. Should boyfriend help me out?

    greygooseuria replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    Wow. I am so glad I was raised by a supportive family. I was lucky to get lots of financial aid for college for my first degree, but my mom would always send me money if I needed to buy food or...

  2. Would you do this for a job..

    greygooseuria replied to emndarmic's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am actually going to work at a LTC facility after being in an ICU for 2 months as a CNA. The CNAs were pretty mean to me and are very backstabbing/gossipy to each other, and I just did not want to...

  3. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    greygooseuria replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The bad message comes when parents say directly to their children "oh, why bother with a bachelors degree? You can do the same thing with an associates." Well, that may be true for nursing, but I'd...

  4. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    greygooseuria replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a BA in sociology so I decided to do an accelerated BSN program. There was no way I was going to wait 2 years to even get INTO an associates degree program when I would have gotten in at the...

  5. Is this LEGAL?

    greygooseuria replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tweety, I was being sarcastic and showing that the other poster would be just as offended had I said that at a ceremony as what this lady had said at Shoes' ceremony. I don't believe that religious...

  6. Is this LEGAL?

    greygooseuria replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    morality is relative. christians killed many people in the 1600s for being witches. society is changing, not becoming morally corrupt. in fact, murder and violent crime have been decreasing in nyc,...

  7. Is this LEGAL?

    greygooseuria replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am an Atheist and believe everything you just said was complete and utter idiocy congruent with mental illness. Can I go and say this at a graduation, as it is my belief and

  8. New grad hoping to move to Chicago

    greygooseuria replied to AveryJane's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Have you called

  9. ?'s about living and working in Chicago

    greygooseuria replied to WhatNext????'s topic in Illinois Nursing

    Rush is right near the IMD Blue line stop and that area has UIC near it and is ALWAYS busy; safety is NOT a concern. People that don't live south of downtown always get scared. Taking the train and...

  10. How much $$$ do you get after taxes?

    greygooseuria replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm with everyone else. You're being unrealistic. You have a son to take care of; a den and BMW are creature comforts and your son should come first. If that means a 2BR in an affordable neighborhood,...

  11. No consideration for gay patients

    greygooseuria replied to eric2123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    AirforceRN, it would depend on the person, exactly what I said in my post. Nursing care isn't a one size fits

  12. No consideration for gay patients

    greygooseuria replied to eric2123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think raising culturally competent nurses is important in totality. Nurses should be aware of differences in race/class/gender/sexual orientation/etc. and how it can affect care. People need to be...

  13. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    greygooseuria replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Nursing Students

    3.79 GPA undergrad...starting an ABSN program in a month. Most programs want a 3.0 or above so you're fine. And to be honest, I think being a male definitely helps. I asked my nursing school if it did...

  14. Statistics prerequisite

    greygooseuria replied to CAguyinMO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People make stats harder than it has to be. It's all plug and chug, and many professors will let you make a cheat sheet for the tests. Just know the formulas and it's

  15. Taking the NCLEX

    greygooseuria posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I am going to start an ABSN program in a month here in Maine. I will graduate in August of 2009. I want to move to either NYC or Chicago after I graduate, so taking the NCLEX is confusing me....

  16. Getting a Second Bachelors? CONSIDER USM!!!

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I will be starting at the University of Southern Maine in May for their accelerated BSN program and I just wanted to pimp the program a little bit because it is PHENOMENAL and I think many here...

  17. Relocating from California?

    greygooseuria replied to HisAlone's topic in General Nursing

    I meant to say LPN usually aren't hired in hospitals, not RNs. Woops!!!

  18. Problem getting a job in hospital as a new grad?

    greygooseuria replied to cathleenmermaid47's topic in General Nursing

    We all had our scrubs before class started because it was useful for some skills labs. You need white pants and white shoes, but tops can be of any color. As a companion, they actually prefer you wear...

  19. Problem getting a job in hospital as a new grad?

    greygooseuria replied to cathleenmermaid47's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to be rotating days/nights on SCU until August. You can plan what days you want to work there so you schedule yourself. Once classes start full swing in September for me I'll need to switch...

  20. Problem getting a job in hospital as a new grad?

    greygooseuria replied to cathleenmermaid47's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA program is ok. I love the instructor. She's so nice and really understanding and really made the course work. I really like the skills lab during class. However, I found that the class moved...

  21. As bad it's seems?

    greygooseuria replied to ParrotheadRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe at non-teaching hospitals. I have yet to have a bad experience with a nurse, doctor, or CNA at MMC and have only had one bad experience with a patient. Everyone there works well together and...

  22. Seeing a dying patient

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in General Students

    That's you, though. If there is a God/Afterlife, he's screwed me over in my life BAD and I doubt I could ever like someone that has done to me what has been happened in my life. However, I view life...

  23. Seeing a dying patient

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice everyone! But it is important to remember that not every nurse is religious. I am an agnostic/atheist and I would not use religion to comfort myself, so that didn't really help...

  24. Having hard time with Pre-Reqs

    greygooseuria replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I feel bad for my fellow classmates, because I can read a chapter and remember 90% of the material from it 2-3 years later. I absorb info like a sponge. How I read is that I read the chapter in bits...

  25. Male Nursing Application Question?

    greygooseuria replied to Flynner's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When I applied back in September, I emphasized life experiences and didn't even touch on my gender, except to say how I majored in sociology and my focus in that was "women and
