  1. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    2011NursingStudent replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community colleges are not necessarily easier, they are cheaper. Anatomy and Physiology is the same (or should be) at any school, no matter how much you paid. Just because you went to a more expensive...

    2011NursingStudent replied to ally59's topic in Government, Military

    Active duty will accept personnel up to age 49, while the Army Reserve has an age limit of 52. Both may be waived for those with prior military

  3. A Bit of Irony Pertaining to Organ Donors

    2011NursingStudent replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Plenty of young people do have insurance and can get it a) through their parents b) through college or c) through work. I've worked full-time since I was 17 years old, so being young does not mean...

  4. A&P/Life Balance!

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

    Yes, absolutely. I was doing fine and then about two weeks ago I got sick for four days, the first two of which were the weekend and I had planned to study/do homework all weeked. I had 102 fever,...

  5. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    Phenomenal article, that says a lot more than data informally gathered from a message board. With respect to job offers for new nursing program graduates 4-6 months after graduation, the survey found...

  6. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    And out of those, 46% said they weren't employed, but only 63% of those said they couldn't find jobs b/c they were a new grad - it says others were not looking, waiting for test results, etc. 63% of...

  7. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    This is the reality of the labor market as a whole in 2011, and its not confined to this profession. You say that you are "opening people's eyes" by pointing out that there is a recession and more...

  8. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    This is right now, today in 2011, which has long been predicted to be the worst year of the recession for the last two years because of housing, the cause of the whole mess. You have no idea what the...

  10. Heading Back to School -- Hitting a Brick Wall

    2011NursingStudent replied to funky917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, community college is pretty cheap, if you are working part time, you might just pay cash and not even borrow. That's what I'm trying to

  11. Midlife Career Change to Nursing, Scared to Death, Looking for Advice

    2011NursingStudent replied to dew8192's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Guess what....I'm 28, I run a mortgage company's IT department and I have two sons, ages 8 and 6. No joke, =) Lots of similarities. I also don't have a degree in IT and was promoted to that position,...

  12. academic dishonesty issue

    2011NursingStudent replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    I think if people continue to attack the original poster she should start using the 'Report' button - all she asked was how this could potentially affect her

  13. academic dishonesty issue

    2011NursingStudent replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    ^ Please. It was an art history paper, she was expected to drive to another state, she didn't cheat by copying anyone else's work, she made all the same commentary by looking at pictures instead of...

  14. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    2011NursingStudent replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    What the original poster said was far from a personal attack (the definition of a personal attack would be an attack directed at a specific person) but nobody is obligated to feel pity for addicts....

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

  17. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've had a UTI for a good 3 weeks and today, (of course when I planned to do all my homework) I have a fever, chills, lower back ache and this is the first time I've done anything that could be...

  18. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    The question was "why do they not sell protein dipsticks" and someone had responded about my urine and that if it was not cloudy, or if I didn't frequently urinate, that I "probably didn't have a...

  19. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    Thank you! Cost of a visit for me is $140, so I want a good idea of what's wrong with me before I go and spend that. If its likely going to be taken care of by my immune system if I drink a bunch of...

  20. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    I know that protein in the urine warrants investigation by a physician, which is why I was commenting that protein test strips should be available. Also, not looking for medical advice or to comment...

  21. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    Don't need the sarcasm, clearly not having a good day. Yes, I am aware they potentially get worse, hence my wanting to purchase a test strip to find out if it did until I can get to a doctor to get...

  22. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    This is true. Cranberry juice was the plan...have been busy w/school though, not paying enough attention to myself. Since I've survived the day, will just wait until the morning and call the doctor....

  23. How would a government shutdown affect jobs in a nursing home?

    2011NursingStudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While social security is a big chunk of this, many people have already paid it - there will be a lot of ****** off people that have had a bunch of money deducted from their paychecks for their entire...

  24. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

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

    Nope, refer to last sentence, first paragraph. In fact I was at the doctor about 3 1/2 weeks ago, and if you really want to know, I suspect that was the cause of this whole thing. (Annual exam). Same...

  25. Learning How to Not Be a Nurse

    2011NursingStudent replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Doctors should be capable of treating your son no matter how much you know, and being able to have an intelligent discussion shouldn't be a problem. I really don't understand...I think a parent should...
