   Okhotneek replied to craigm's topic in General Students

   In our school we have tons. Every semester there are at least 3 big presentations we have to do. One was in front of a group of 100+ and that one was actually the most fun! And guess what, I'm...

2. Our government made it so I can't take out private student loans....

   Okhotneek replied to justus4's topic in General Students

   I don't know about everyone else, but I would probably have to work my butt off (50+ hr every week) for 3 years to be able to afford 1 semester. And that's if tuition, gas and living expenses don't go...

5. shortage of nursing jobs?

   Okhotneek replied to metalgirl70's topic in Nursing Career

   I honestly wouldn't worry about it. With being in school fulltime, a hubby that works at least 50 hours a week and a 3 year old...I honestly have no time for volunteer work/prt time job. If I graduate...

6. shortage of nursing jobs?

   Okhotneek replied to metalgirl70's topic in Nursing Career

   Low wages might have to do with cost of living in the area... However, where I'm from (Louisiana) wages just suck for everything. It doesn't really have much to do with demand of anything, the economy...

8. Hrsa 08-09 Nursing Scholarship

   Okhotneek replied to geteducated123's topic in General Students

   That's what I thought too....that most hospitals would qualify, but I called and asked about a few hospitals that I would want to work for and they do not qualify. It's hospitals that are in a...

9. Any health benefits of hot and humid climate?

   Okhotneek replied to Nuieve's topic in General Students

   Maybe because there is already a large older population? If they just wanted the 90-100 degree, insanely humid weather then why not Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas? I don't think it's for the...

    Mine says under review... Ok, I'm having second thoughts on accepting the scholarship.. When I applied, I was under the impression that most hospitals would qualify the service obligation. I find...

    Okhotneek replied to kiss04bam's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm currently in Lancaster General College's nusing program. I love it there. There is a good mix of older students and most of the kids coming out of high school are decent people. I'm 24, haven't...

12. My hands shake!

    Okhotneek replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

    I've heard many also, just ignore them. Negative thoughts will get you down. Just take everything 1 day, 1 assignment at a time. I wrote everything I had to do out, in order of importance and would...

13. My hands shake!

    Okhotneek replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

    I thought I was the only one that did this It definitely makes a big difference. I'm so bad about shaking especially when doing presentations. If I start feeling shaky, I just concentrate more on...

14. Do I have to be an A student to be a nurse? ...there's no hope for me.

    Okhotneek replied to BunnyJ's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't really say A&P was hard....just a lot of info to digest. Don't wait until the last minute to study. The info will be jibberish on the first day but as you study all week long, you'll...

    Okhotneek replied to BunnyJ's topic in General Nursing
