I feel much the same way. I keep thinking to myself...How can I make a difference for all nurses? Why do we take this crap? Because it's always been this way, or worse? I've heard it said time and again. Just seems we are going to lay down and t...
I think it really depends on the school. My cost for Chem (4c.h.) was over 2k, because my school is a private one. The books was silly expensive too and the prof didn't particularly like the text.

I received my acceptance letter yesterday. I laughed and cried! I called everyone I knew and my BFF bought me a plant and a card...she's the greatest. I still feel off balance...I know the hard work starts now. I want to do this and I've never be...

Served over 10yrs in the military. I think I'll be okay. I try not to absorb too much negative energy. School is stressful enough without taking on someone else's views and generalizations. I know it's not going to be tea and roses. Just like I ...
I'm submitting my application for school this month. I feel I have a really good chance of getting in. I'm in my mid 30's, a war vet, mom to 3 and wife to a husband who is supportive. I spent 11yrs in the military doing a job I wasn't all that wil...

I'm not afraid of the poop, blood, etc...I'm terrified that I will invest all of my heart & soul and be a horrible student or I won't like nursing. I'm scared that I can't/won't cut it. :sofahider

Have a friend in this program. My friend HATES it. Sorry, but my friend says the program is unorganized and the coaches/teachers aren't all that great and Texas Tech isn't all that involved or concerned with resolving students' issues.. Just my f...

I only have one program in my area. If I don't get in, I don't have a plan B:crying2: My DH just took a job that will keep us here for at least 2 more years to give me a chance to finish school. I feel I've let him down if I don't get in.

Just picked up my app for fall 09. I was so excited and nervous. I picked it up within the first 2hrs and I got application #99. Lucky 99? I have a heavy road ahead. Still have to take the Hesi and get one more recommendation from my old A&P...

Okay so I'm just stunned right now. I went to meet with my nursing adviser (even though I'm not in the program the nursing school handles all of my stuff because it's my major). Registration starts this month and I wanted to get in asap. I had al...

I served in a male dominated job for 11yrs in the military you haven't seen competitive, mean, and petty until you stand in a room full of men (usually high ranking) trying to **** on each other. I can't tell you how many games of mine is bigger than...

I'm on my second week and I'm falling behind already. I didn't have Chem in H.S. so it's like he's speaking french to me. I'm trying really hard not to get frustrated:cry:, I meet with my tutor today at 5. Wish me luck and please send me smart-chemi...

Knocking on 40 and I got a CAH-RUTE (cute:chuckle) messenger bag from w-mart. It was 10bucks so I know it won't last long (keeping my fingers crossed) but it was UNC colors and I couldn't pass it up. I have a HEAVY science load this year so I know ...

I think MOST pre-nursing/nursing students have some fear. The best thing you can do is use that fear to motivate you to do your best. There will be bumps in the road but set your mind to get it done and then do it. It's a step at a time.

People keep calling it diverting, is this nursing PC for stealing? Not being snarky but not sure why it's not just called stealing. I'm sure there are times when medical professional steal drugs to sell them, they may not always be abusing them.
