  3. Has Spencerian gotten their RN program back?

    shann106 replied to lil_meme19's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful with that, from what the accrediation committee told us the college itself is accredited but not the nursing program. Spencerian has still not got their accediation back, they were on...

  4. Anyone in the fall 09 RN at BCTC?

    shann106 replied to GoingBrokeForRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was told that the BCTCS nursing program is not accedited. Has that changed? The accerediation committee held a Q&A session at EKU 2 yrs ago and they told us that BCTCS was not accredited, that...

  5. Bellarmine vs EKU Accelerated BSN

    shann106 replied to Charlihoo's topic in General Nursing

    I am at EKU and I love it. EKU is a highly respected nursing school. I chose EKU because of the cost, and have not regreted it. The staff will not hold your hand through the process but they are not...

    shann106 replied to OneDayAttaTime's topic in General Students

    I have applied for the Wells Fargo loan that you mentioned and they told me that is would not be disbursed until school started, as they work with the school and verify that you are enrolled. Did they...

  8. Please help me get on the right career path!

    shann106 replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    If you really want something else in the healthcare field consider radiology. I have been an xray tech for 15 yrs but am now in nursing school. I work at a walk in clinic now and the pay is crap, but...

  10. do you type or write your notes?

    shann106 replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    I have to write things out to really get them into my head. But I hate my handwriting, so I often times type them out too. Making index cards is a battle for me because I hate my handwriting and will...

  11. If you fail out of nursing school..is it easy to apply to another?

    shann106 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    In my area if you fail out you may have a chance at one of the community colleges, but even then it is very hard to get in. There is such a demand for slots they have to be selective, and often times...

  12. Trouble getting into a nursing school.. hELP?

    shann106 replied to lfox10's topic in General Students

    How good is your GPA. Good and nursing school good are two different things. Have any of them told you why you were not admitted? Do you know how they decide who they admit? At my school and most of...

  13. Need a non-certified private loan ASAP

    shann106 replied to OneDayAttaTime's topic in General Students

    I think you would have to get a regular loan, I am pretty sure all the student loans go through the student loan depts. Be prepared for a tough road with loans though, with the economy loans of any...

  14. What's in your clinical book bag?

    shann106 replied to SANART11's topic in General Students

    We have to keep our bags in a waiting room where pts families are in and out of all day. We are asked not to bring a bag because we have to pile our stuff in one chair so there is not much room to...

  15. Overachievers

    shann106 replied to student005's topic in General Students

    I think it is jealousy. I hear this term to describe students that do their reading, study and make good grades. It is always the students that are just barely passing that call others overachievers....

  16. Withdraw - I'm really not sure?

    shann106 replied to tailormade's topic in General Students

    I would study my a$$ off and bring my grade up. Is your final worth more than your regular exams? If so you could really rock the final and bring your grade up

  17. Did your nursing school use collaborative testing for any classes?

    shann106 replied to notthereyet0's topic in General Students

    I was really dreading collaborative testing, but I ended up really liking it. The way my school does it is : you take the test, stay at your desk until the hour is up,then keep the test but pass up...

  18. What are idea work hours/days while in Nursing School

    shann106 replied to rholman's topic in General Students

    I work 12 hour shifts Fri, Sat, and Sun. I also work another part time job a few hours a week before class and after clinicals. The 12 hour weekend shift seems to work best for most nursing students I...

  19. Wells Fargo loans- what have been your experiences?

    shann106 replied to shann106's topic in General Students

    This is what scared me, after reading these customer complaints I am a little scared to use them, but I feel stuck

  20. What's a good reason to quit nursing school?

    shann106 replied to none the wiser's topic in General Students

    I think it is much better to realize it is not something you want/like and get out early. I am not saying you should definately quit, just don't stick with something you hate because you feel...

  21. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    shann106 replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    I spent all last semester trying to avoid looking at the thong of the girl who sat in front of me. Luckily I never had clinicals with her because if her thong hung out just sitting in class I can only...

  22. What do you think is the best type of loan for nursing school

    shann106 replied to RNS5's topic in General Students

    This is one of the reasons I work 2 jobs while in nursing school. Even as a single mother I do not qualify for most financial aid. I do usually get Stafford loans to cover some of my tuition, but not...

  23. Working Students with Children

    shann106 replied to Kyla.ann's topic in General Students

  24. Very Frustrated and time is running out!!

    shann106 replied to Nutmeg524's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry, but the only places that hire LPN's in my area are indeed nursing homes. I used to work in a large mutli=specialty clinic that employed nearly 500, and they also did not hire LPN's. I now work...

  25. Clueless Students

    shann106 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students
