  1. Problem with Hep B Titer

    TheSquire replied to muzica10's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Some people just don't, which is why many places require titers for personnel that are at high risk for exposure. Your school should be fine with a physician's note saying that you're repeating the...

  2. Were their any teen moms here?? Re: NS project

    TheSquire replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Pseudonymous is not anonymous - people using a consistent pseudonym on a message board like this can be tracked and their identities uncovered, especially if they are prolific in posting. As for the...

  3. Were their any teen moms here?? Re: NS project

    TheSquire replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    You asked this question in order to solicit responses: You're asking human subjects in a non-anonymous situation a qualitative research question about a topic which carries significant social...

  4. Why TEAS and nursing?!

    TheSquire replied to sashamay's topic in General Students

    It's a standardized college entrance test, which looks at what you retained out of stuff you should already know from high school. If your HS coursework didn't sink in, what guarantee does your...

  5. NOT eligible for financial aid as a second-degree student with a previous masters?!

    TheSquire replied to ChineseLantern's topic in General Students

    Or you could go into a graduate-entry program, which makes you eligible for GradPLUS loans from the Federal

  6. What you had to give up for NS

    TheSquire replied to amathis's topic in General Students

    My full-time job and two of my regular RPGs (still go to the third, though). Everything else is pretty much normal, except my schedule's a lot more chaotic than

  7. Do I really need a BSN?

    TheSquire replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Short answer: No, you don't. Long answer: You'll probably want it someday for the reasons stated by the other posters. If you can take the extra student loans and coursework for the BSN right off the...

  9. How many people who start NS finish?

    TheSquire replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    If you want to know the admission and graduation rates for schools in your area, go to your state's Board of Nursing website. They should have and post the

  10. DePaul General Masters program

    TheSquire replied to Jennacoh's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The difference between an MS (anywhere not just at DePaul) and an MSN has to do with research, supposedly. I don't pretend to understand

  11. Which Chicago community college will get me my ADN quickest??

    TheSquire replied to Poosh's topic in Illinois Nursing

    1) If you're looking at Nursing for the money then you're looking at the wrong profession. 2) Worry about your prereqs first. 3) There are grad-entry programs in Chicago that'll spit you out with an...

  12. job prospects for a new grad

    TheSquire replied to tentay87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Northwestern Memorial has summer internship spots which are geared towards people like yourself who would not otherwise be able to experience a clinical rotation at NMH. They're listed on NMH's jobs...

  13. DePaul General Masters program

    TheSquire replied to Jennacoh's topic in Illinois Nursing

    A number of my classmates who live in the suburbs take Metra into the city, and then the CTA to campus. DePaul charges you for a CTA U-Pass, so riding the L is free, and I think metra offers...

  14. The Lord's Prayer for Nursing Students

    TheSquire replied to RNOkie's topic in General Students

    It's not "The Lord's Prayer", it's just a

  15. APA format

    TheSquire replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Do you really hate APA formatting, or standardized formatting in

  16. ATI graduation test

    TheSquire replied to asoonernurse's topic in General Students

    My school requires Level 2 proficiency on all applicable ATIs. If its part of the curriculum and students were notified of it, the school has sufficiently covered their asses. No sane lawyer would...

  17. Is an MSN - CNL a good place to start my nursing career!

    TheSquire replied to PMG42177's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I also disagree about looking into an ADN program, but for different reasons. While I think that nursing should move to a baccalaureate entrance degree, the simple fact is that there are not enough...

  18. Standardization of nursing students uniform

    TheSquire replied to ryna's topic in General Students

    I'd go with hunting-jacket orange - it stands out better than yellow, which kinda blends in if there's light colored walls. There's no hiding

  19. HELP please! HTN/DM

    TheSquire replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    It's a homework question, you're not supposed to just give the answer to

  20. Study & wait ? Study & wait? Study & Wait ...

    TheSquire replied to ashley10's topic in General Students

    That's all well and good, except for two things. First, no school of nursing anywhere has the kind of resources to teach that many students skills in prereqs - we have a hard enough time getting...

  21. HELP please! HTN/DM

    TheSquire replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    That sounds like what I remember; however, I'll buy that HTN is an early symptom of DM II due to fluid balance issues, though my pathophys textbook sadly does not include a

  22. Research Project - Non-Traditional Students

    TheSquire replied to KentuckyRN2Be's topic in General Students

    Do a literature search on the merits of online versus paper surveys - people have definitely looked into it. There's a forum in the student section for recruitment titled "Academic Nursing Research...

  23. I knew I was destined to be a nurse when ...

    TheSquire replied to bambam1288's topic in General Students

    ...when I abandoned childish notions of an external actor controlling me and embraced my own free will.

  24. HELP please! HTN/DM

    TheSquire replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I never sat through a proper physio class (my school counted the buttload of molecular & cellular biology classes I sat through), but I don't remember reading/hearing anywhere that increased blood...

  25. Study & wait ? Study & wait? Study & Wait ...

    TheSquire replied to ashley10's topic in General Students

    If you don't have a firm grasp of those subjects, the critical thinking required of a nurse just won't make any sense to you. That's why they make you sign up for those
