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 terrified of speaking in public too. Don't think about it...

So I'm in my second semester, family nursing and have been spending a lot of time in couplet care and newborn nursery.... I'm actually loving it! This semester has been a HUGE relief. I hated my first semester and seriously questioned if this was wha...

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 up I don't find my loans to be stupid investmen...

Did anybody else's "Under Review" status disapear?

Actually...studying for nursing didn't really take up most of my time. It was all the assignments they dumped on us... The testing, I thought was actually the easy part. When you have 12+ chapters that you are going to be tested on then what's the p...

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 and have trouble finding a job, well then it's no...

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 has always been horrible there. If you're not exp...

What part of Pa and what exactly are you going in to? I live in Lancaster county....I think most start out in the 40's around here....lol...would definitely be up for a move though :-)

My books for Nur 101 were about $700....if I went through the school bookstore it would have easily been $1500. We were supposed to buy a nurses pack $200....with the crapiest stethescope I have ever seen, I've honestly played with better ones as a c...

Some people are already working 60 + hours a week and donating plasma to make it. If you don't have the cash and physically cannot work another job without being on speed.....how do you pay for books?

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 shortage area.... http://hpsafind.hrsa.gov/HPSASearch.asp...

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 beach...lol....you only see maybe 5 or 6 really lea...

Going through torture with others really brings you closer. My classmates are a wonderful group that you can lean on and turn to for help.

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 their website useless...the whole process is confusin...

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 lived with my parents since I was 17, have a kid.......

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 just go down the list. lol...and yeah, some days you...

This past semester I took A&P 2 and nutrition along with my nursing classes (14 credits all together). I had to bust my butt constantly and I know I got lower grades because of lack of time... But I ended up making a B+ in AP (one point from an ...

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 my toes...something about it just helps me relax.

lol...didn't know Walmart paid that much. Sure beats the 7.15 Sears pays :-)

This is my Favorite website for book comparison. http://nyus.cheapbooks.com/?adwords&gclid=CN_a8vL4-I8CFRuhFQodMg5kMA Even buying used I easily spent over $900 on supplies...

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 finally get it. My psych teacher use to try to tell...

I had a terrible high school GPA and didn't even send in my SAT scores....I didn't know how to get them (I graduated in 02). My school is really competitive (even for just general education), I have no idea how I got in. I did have to send 3 referenc...

oops....forgot to mention sallie mae. good loan resource. www.salliemae.com

no matter what you have to start with fafsa. www.fafsa.ed.gov/ it's free to file....if you get on the wrong website they trick you into thinking you have to pay to file. if you want to file it electronically you'll have to apply for a pin which they...

I'm going to Lancaster General College right now. I was told at some point that the new nurses usually make $22/hr.....however, the info didn't come from an employee but from someone on the admissions staff. I know a girl that worked at the Women's a...
