  1. Is the eastern part of the state any less competitive than the Raleigh or Charlotte
  2. Anyone know the amount of applicants vs accepted
  3. BSN vs. ADN

    One of the schools in my area cost 40K a year for a BSN. 50K all together doesn't sound so bad then. I've been wracking my brain trying to decide how many hours of scholarship essay writing I would...
  4. If you search or ask in the Military section, someone will have an answer. Just the day before yesterday I read some information on that, but I am not 100% sure of the specifics. I think yes, it was...
  5. The Perils of White Pants

    I haven't had the chance to wear white pants yet, but I do know about leaks because my flow is very heavy. So another vote for spandex tights. When I wear those even if my visitor makes it past the...
  6. Economic crisis affecting new nurse hires?

    I won't be working in NY anytime soon, but I don't think it is time for anyone to panic yet. NY won't be hit as hard as other places, new grads may just need to lower their job search standards a bit....
  7. It doesn't even seem like she is a new grad, wouldn't she have mentioned that? She probably needs a specific shift- with kids and other responsibilities (wedding on the horizon etc) she probably can't...
  8. money to help pay bills while im in school!

    What city do you live in? Can you use public transportation? Maybe get rid of your car if you have no other choice? Are you receiving any kind of public assistance to help with groceries and such? I...
  9. In state resident proof...

    Yes she was enrolled, but only a part of the year. I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, or wait a
  10. Any more info? That is crazy! Maybe I should stay put in NC... eta: LINK
  11. Queens University of Charlotte

    How did that turn out? Are the pass rates getting better or
  12. Army Nurse Corp - Specific Questions

    Whew- that was making me a bit nervous. My loan won't be a huge amount but I would hate to be penalized for taking out a loan even though I received the GI Bill and college
  13. As a former soldier, I only wish I had joined the nurse corps so I could have had a career to fall back on when I got out instead of doing a job that was only available in the military. I hope my...
  14. Living poor to living middle class!

    That will be a big problem for me also- I haven't even started school yet and many nights I don't feel like standing in front of a stove to cook. So I can't even imagine later on. Thankfully I only...
  15. Texas nurses are unionized

    It sounds like working for a union hospital has more pros than cons. I wish more states had unions, I would look closely at those cities than non-union ones. Hopefully there will be more to choose...
  16. Patient with maggots in head

    Gross. :-( I hope I can handle that if I ever see
  17. TX to NYC- How do I get there?

    They show lots of high rises and such (I'm not sure which shows you were referring to) but there are many different neighborhoods all over the NYC area and they look very different depending on where...
  18. Are the Triad schools also a 2 year wait to get in?
  19. $39/hr???

    So how long can someone work weekends before they can (or are allowed to) change? A year?
  20. bored weekender

    Just so I get this correct- working the weekends (l'm guessing fri/sat/sun) is equal to a full 'work week' (mon-fri)? I saw it mentioned a few times around the board but didn't quite understand. If...
  21. Nurses and Doctors Dating Each Other

    Wow- how does it get messy? Spouses coming to the job to confront the other individual? I'd think people in that situation would be too embarrassed to make a scene. I guess
  22. Nursing schools in Augusta, Ga area

    I've been trying to see if I should go to a nursing program in Atlanta or Augusta. Even those Augusta has far less RN programs, there are less people applying to those schools. Anyone tried applying...
  23. career change....RAD vs. cardiac sonograpy

    Isn't the salary greater for sonographers than radiographers? I know it isn't all about money but you do have 3 future college students possibly? :-) For a while I was considering becoming a...
  24. VA/Govt Nurse Satisfaction

    I know this is an older thread- but does anyone know if the VA hospital in Manhattan is one of the 'good' VAs or a 'bad' one? Also if someone has been treated for depression in the past, will that...
  25. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    I don't think there was anything wrong with what Hopefull2009 did. I don't engage opportunists by letting them ignore me for as long as they please then come when time suits them and they want help-...
