Hey guys, I'm about to start taking my prereqs for NS, and I was just wondering how tattoos and piercings are dealt with in nursing school and on the job. I have a small tattoo on the inside of my left wrist, and I have a small nose stud. Both are v...

I.. am kind of speechless. There are limits to when things are funny. It's almost cute and funny, sure, but it also kind of makes me wanna smack you. Grow up.

These pre-reqs for these nursing programs are driving me nuts. For most programs, I need the basics: Anatomy, Physiology, Stats, Chem, and Microbiology. Some of the programs also need Nutrition, or Intro to Psych. The Stats and the psych are fine (I ...

Thanks for all the encouragement, guys! Also... GOOD NEWS!!! I decided I should call the biology department, just to see if maaaybe for some strange, odd, wonderful reason, I could get out of taking the pre-req for Anatomy. The guy who answers the ph...

Good luck!!!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Melmarie - that's awesome! Grats on getting into the NH program =) Funny - I live right in Kendall square (well, my boyfriend does, and I basically live there. My actual apartment is in Central Sq, but I'm pretty much never there ^^) Are you going t...

I'm looking at some accelerated BSN programs... where I can get my RN in less than 2 years. I was originally thinking about a direct entry master's program, but I think it would be more beneficial for me to get my RN, work a few years, and then once ...

I think you need to be a little bit more specific. Also: LOL @rhonda .... hiLARious :chuckle

Yeah... at this point, I'm thinking that there's no way I can work and take those pre-reqs part time, unless I want to start nursing school in like 2012. If I can just quit my job, take out a loan, and take these courses full time.... I might be able...

This is an awesome thread... I'm going to be in nursing school in a year or two, and I've just pretty much resigning myself to the fact that co-workers, instructors, and my fellow students are all going to suck. (Ok, I mean, not really. But I've read...

I LOVE that idea. Although then you'd have a bunch of random people walking around with "registered nurse" written on their shirts. I feel like that's a weird, bad lawsuit waiting to happen. "She didn't give me CPR correctly! I was dying on the stre...

Any site moderators/admins/allnurses members who want to see this in action - see if you can access the forums at Ravelry.com. It's a knitting community website, and you can click different buttons on posts - you can "agree", "disagree", "love", "fun...

You started nursing school because you were "bored"? I'm trying really hard here to understand, and to not offend anyone. But that in itself just makes me speechless. I think you need to rethink what you want to do with your life. I'm not even IN nu...

...or that's what it seems. I know that a lot of these forums offer a place for nurse to vent anonymously. That's totally cool - it's important to have a place to let some steam go. It's healthy. But it really does scare the crap outta me. What if I ...

See, that's where I thrive. Right now I work in a library, and we just sit here. Things are so slow. Honestly? I liked WAITRESSING more than this, despite the weird hours and the being on your feet all day and the getting crappy tips from customers. ...

Gotcha. I'm trying to get a good perspective on what it will *really* be like. I think that I have had a sort of rosie colored view on what it could be like, and reading these forums and others has somewhat been a rude awakening. I'm going to have to...

Hehe, lol@ just cause. Positive reinforcement for the win!! Thanks so much guys. Appreciate the feeback ^^

Hey guys. I'm a 23 year old female and have a B.A. in psychology. I'm really interested in going for my nursing degree, but it would be a huge undertaking. I would need to get 6 different prereqs (I was *not* a huge science/math person in college, an...

I'm not sure. Sticking something up there just gives me the shivers. In my mind (the irrational part of my mind, that is), it's more invasive than open heart surgery. Funny though, the mouthcare thing you're talking about - I read that and was like,...
