i guess $2,000 isn't so bad, but at the same time, your going to go work as a nurse and you have to pay to go?? I don't really understand, i could understand just going and not getting paid any extra (just travel expenses/lodging), but to have to pay...

I've heard of that too... I'm at F.I.U. (good school too, but public so much cheaper). My father is an electrical engineer (fixes x-ray equipment) and i have friends in a bunch of florida nursing programs.. and some family etc in nursing. (k my cred...

You didn't go home with her!?? Sigh.. lol

i personally was not circumcised at birth and i wish my parents would have done so. I had my foreskin rip at about 18 years old, so i had to get a circumcision and let me tell you, it's not fun getting circumcised at 18 years old. Being this old i wa...

Oh wow.. that kind of sucks. So if you have a slow school, you have to wait awhile to take it, i didn't know that.

Wow that's horrible. I could just imagine being excited to see a healthy live birth and then going into that instead.

Although i agree with this for the most part, you also have to remember than being a buisness they want to appear better. It's like a TV company making a cheap TV with bad color/short life. More people will buy it, but the brand will be remembered fo...

i'll be 24 when i graduate due to not knowing what i wanted to do earlier in college. sigh.. sometimes i wish i would have known earlier. but o well, live and learn. Will end up taking 6 years to get BSN (2 1/2 of those spent on a totally unrelated m...

Alright so both my points made in my first post were correct lol... People quit too soon/Don't use their license, and not enough space in nursing school. My school accepts 140 people a year (70 for summer, 70 for fall), which i thought was sort of lo...

oh ok i got it, so we need more teachers because otherwise not enough people are graduating each year to fill the gaps that are needed from new openings and people retiring. thanks .

I just don't understand though, can someone help me understand this. How is it that it's hard to get into nursing school and yet there's a shortage? And it's not that it's hard in the sense that you have to do a lot of work to get in (which i guess u...

As amazing as that is Pay/Benefit wise... I just personally don't know how i'd feel about "rural Iowa" lol.. Not meant as an insult or anything, i know a lot of people like small towns. but i think there are too many people out there that don't which...

Well Said

I got to Florida International University, we have a pretty good program (little unknown i guess), But it's becoming better and better each year. We just recently got a bunch of funds thrown at the nursing school (we're the number 1 PHD granting inst...

Wow some of these stories are rediculous... I really hope i don't have to deal with this on too regular of a basis when i start... I mean the patient stuff is definetly expected... but things such as letting someone hit you in the face or get in trou...

yeah if that wouldn't make someone shed a tear then i don't know what to say about them.

wow yeah that's horrible. I never really pay attention to anything but my test. Once during a test the person next to me was cheating (no idea who they were) i didn't notice, but the prof. came up and said "Look over at his paper again and your out"...

Wow a lot of replies. I'm liking allnurses.com so far, interesting place and active. But as much people that are here i'm suprised there's not more considering how many nurses/pre-nurses are out there. Well i just currently switched over to a BSN pro...

So what states or schools have this affirmative action for males going on? Just curious to see if it's any decent schools doing it too, or only lower level ones.
