    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ah, good for you!! How do you do it?! I mean, how do you have a classroom and also go to school? I think my lesson plans would be severly neglected if i had to do both... ;-) Where do you teach? I...

  4. Do I need to volunteer in a health care setting to make sure i get in?

    NurseBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering if I need to have an extra UMPH in my application for nursing school by doing volunteer work in a healthcare setting. If I did, what would I even do? It's not like I can follow around a...

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

  7. Do I need to volunteer in a health care setting to make sure i get in?

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your insight. :-) I'm sure it will work out, too. There are 9 hospitals in this town not to mention all the other non-hospital positions! There will be something I can do when i graduate I...

  8. Do I need to volunteer in a health care setting to make sure i get in?

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I am. I am still only doing my pre-reqs (applying for 2011 accelerated BSN) and I am already starting to get bummed out by that other thread I was reading- if it really is the case that OPMC is...

  9. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

  11. Do I need to volunteer in a health care setting to make sure i get in?

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I know, scary, right? We have about 4 hospitals in this town and Mayo is the best one to work at, as far as I know. They give a crap about their employees, to put it bluntly. I'll figure this...

  12. Do you think working with a knee walker would be possible?

    NurseBanana replied to beachgirl17's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but your post caught my eye because I have seen another nurse work with a knee walker- and it was the COOLEST thing ever!! :-) She scooted around in that thing like nobody's...

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Well, getting into this program is based on a points scale, which includes your GPA, academic skills test, and an interview. I guess an interview is where i might mention volunteering? I'd like to...

  14. Pros and Cons of nursing

    NurseBanana replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

  15. Rn as a patient

    NurseBanana replied to blackpants22's topic in General Nursing

    have you tried just acting un-interested in what she is saying? sometimes people get the hint that way. Or maybe you can just interrupt her (or talk at the same time as she is, if she won't shut-up)...

  16. What questions are asked at nursing school interviews?

    NurseBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

    I read today that the program I am applying for has an interview if you are selected...it's a group interview (meaning 4 other applicants would be sitting there, too). I think that is totally awkward,...

    NurseBanana replied to Daffodils2's topic in General Nursing

  19. What questions are asked at nursing school interviews?

    NurseBanana replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    thanks everyone! I think I'm going to make an appointment to talk with someone and ask them why I should go to their program vs. the other very popular one in town... I'm a little concerned now,...

  22. Which matters more, school name or degree?

    NurseBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm considering either RN or BSN and not sure which matters more; where you go to school, or the fact that you HAVE the RN or BSN? I am thinking of applying to John's Hopkins, but it would require my...

  25. Which matters more, school name or degree?
