  1. What scrubs do you like best?

    foreverLaur replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Fundamentals by White Swan scrub pants... cargo pants... elastic waist band. They fit me great (I'm 5'3" 130 lbs) and are pretty cheap! I got them at the JC Penny Outlet and I wear size small...

  2. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    CSCC is so popular because they are, hands down, the best community college program in the area. They have a great reputation and the tuition is low. I don't think as many students applied as you...

  3. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That's a good sign - one more spot for me :) Duno why you would do that though - I love the way columbus state's program is set up. Luckily I don't have anything to worry about. I got As in NURC...

  4. Who is applying to CSCC in July for the traditional ADN?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I had mine submitted at 9:00:04am July 1 so PLEASE let it be March 2011!!! I took a screen shot the instant I submitted showing the exact time with the confirmation page

  5. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I certainly hope so!! I called the nursing program today and they told me October. They said probably 3.5 to 4 months or so and I took that to mean late October. Hopefully they are over estimating...

  6. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    foreverLaur replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    Geez this is the problem with forums. I was just simply suggesting the OP take some time for personal reflection to see if he/she is ready to pursue graduate level coursework. The answer may be YES...

  7. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I AM so hoping I get into March 2011... they said only 20 seats or so left. I had my application submitted at 9:00:04 so FINGERS CROSSED :) I hate that they make us wait til the end of Oct to find...

  8. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    foreverLaur replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    i was not judging or saying anything about you as a person. i was just simply suggesting that you take time for personal reflection and make sure you are ready to take on such a commitment. you may...

  9. I want to be a Nurse!

    foreverLaur replied to Cassandraann's topic in General Nursing

    Community college! Either way you end up a RN (most employes will pay or help pay for RN-BSN later) and the community college will save you A LOT of money plus you can work while going to school so...

  10. Nurse Anesthetists

    foreverLaur replied to TLCinCT's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not all of us! :) I'm starting nursing school in March (second career for me but I'm only 23) and I am well aware of what a CRNA is, the $$ they can make, and the schooling involved and I have no...

  11. Moving to Cleveland Area and looking @ ADN programs

    foreverLaur replied to BigM0's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, I meant CSCC. I did give up on Tri-C since they took my spot away, gave it back, and then took it away again. Plus, now my start date at Tri-C would be after CSCC and I'd have to quit my job...

  12. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So the CSCC application was different than I thought. I logged in and just kept hitting refresh. It let me in and popped up with a page showing my cougar ID, name, address, and phone #. It then...

  13. Moving to Cleveland Area and looking @ ADN programs

    foreverLaur replied to BigM0's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think they are sent electronically at the end of each month. I had to take the HESI A2 twice - once at each school. They don't accept each others scores. I'm definitely going to Tri-C. I only...

  14. Moving to Cleveland Area and looking @ ADN programs

    foreverLaur replied to BigM0's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was told it was done at the end of each month so you should be good to go on that end as the scores should have been sent over today - hopefully you didn't miss out and have to wait another month!...

  15. ICU new grad positions at Cleveland Clinic-main campus

    foreverLaur replied to cle2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Do you have any connections at the hospital from your clinicals? That is how most new grads land hard to find new grad

  16. Moving to Cleveland Area and looking @ ADN programs

    foreverLaur replied to BigM0's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'd say it is very unlikely. All the students already admitted to Spring 2011 and Fall 2011 will be given first priority and I'd imagine those students will fill up the Westshore campus class. You...

  17. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    foreverLaur replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    I take a look at YOU as a person. If you could only manage a 2.4 gpa in undergrad, what makes you think you are ready to undertake a higher level and more rigorous level of nursing curriculum that...

  18. Almost into the nursing program... but have a tattoo sleeve

    foreverLaur replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at would require it to be covered, but wouldn't have a problem with it. They aren't super picky. I'm personally not a tattoo person, but would never judge a person based upon...

  19. NET vs. TEAS

    foreverLaur replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the Evolve Reach (Powered by Hesi) Admission Assessment Exam Review 2nd Edition and it has practice tests for each section in

  20. Criminal Convictions

    foreverLaur replied to CJEgglestonLPN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    She'll need to mark YES to the question about prior criminal offenses but it is not a disqualifying mark. Even felony theft has to have two convictions to restrict your license and even then, you are...

  21. What is the purpose of requiring white shoes?

    foreverLaur replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    SO frustrating. I had to wear white shoes for a few months at an old job. I spent so much on constantly replacing shoes because they would always get so dirty. If employers force you to wear shoes...

  22. Reapplying after Resignation

    foreverLaur replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea how they got the information about every single previous employer I have ever had. I know on the credit report I've seen they don't show up on there. It must be some sort of screening...

  23. Reapplying after Resignation

    foreverLaur replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    Every single employer I've had had showed up (and consider I'm only 23.... it's a lot). It even included a job where I only worked for 3 days!! I left them off my resume and it showed up and my...

  24. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    foreverLaur replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    My scores were pretty much identical to yours (although my biology and chemistry scores were flipped) and mine were well above the class average. FYI - my Hesi A2 did NOT have a calculator. I know...

  25. A&P I ......3x!?!?!?

    foreverLaur replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get that sometimes... as it is not fair to weight a student who had to take A&P six times to get an A versus someone that got an A the first time, but sometimes there are circumstances beyond a...
