  1. Please help i hate nursing so bad!!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't waste the money, if you don't go to class, the loan funds will be returned to the lender and you/your mom won't owe anything. Either that, or drop the classes you have and sign up for classes...

  2. Nursing strategies supporting the sick child and family during the hospitalization?

    2011NursingStudent replied to jaywife's topic in General Students

    When my son was in the hospital for 3 days I left once to take a shower. The staff put his food on a tray next to the bed, and left it there. Problem was, he was 7 years old, but he had one arm that...

  8. Did your nursing program cover 12 lead EKG?

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in General Nursing

    2011NursingStudent replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. I truly need help and advice on what to do.

    2011NursingStudent replied to jade8307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how much you already owe - you won't be able to finance an accelerated BSN if you are anywhere near the debt limit. Figure out how much you owe in student loans, then if you can afford...

  14. Did your nursing program cover 12 lead EKG?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a good plan and I'd much rather save the money. The downside is that I don't have something concrete for my resume then, though.... I'll see if there is some kind of test I can take...

  15. Did your nursing program cover 12 lead EKG?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

  16. Did your nursing program cover 12 lead EKG?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're right. Maybe I'll keep applying, and if I still get no calls back, take the extra courses (that and phlebotomy...) and hope I get a call back. In the end, $700 would be worth it if I...
