  1. Weight gain in Nursing School

    TRR8021 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely, and I'm trying the crack of dawn routine. I'd rather get it over with and out of the way as early as possible. It's a real struggle because I am not a morning

  2. Weight gain in Nursing School

    TRR8021 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with the gym membership if you can afford it. Sometimes it's better to get out of the house to exercise to get a change of scenery. Also, I used to obsess about being sugar-free this, and...

  3. how do you keep your sexy??

    TRR8021 replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a student, but I think that getting massages, pedicures/manicures(no artificial nails of course) and facials help me feel sexy. I can't go that often on a student's budget, but when I'm a...

  4. For all pre-nursing students

    TRR8021 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, there aren't many LPN/LVNs in my area either. I've heard of some in the nursing homes but very little if at all in the hospitals. In response to another poster, I don't think people are going...

  5. For all pre-nursing students

    TRR8021 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope that all new grads don't have to "pay dues" by working night shifts! By nights you mean overnight, right? lol I don't think I could handle that shift, but I'll work 1st, 2nd and weekends!!...

  6. ENP programs

    TRR8021 replied to camjones's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN has a ENP program too. It's a dual family NP/Acute care NP with emergency care focus. http://www.nursing.vanderbilt.edu/msn/enp.html Sounds like the Emory...

  7. Took NCLEX-RN today..freaking out!

    TRR8021 replied to futureRNJaz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm still a student but I heard from professors that if you only get 75 questions, that's a good thing! It means you passed. When you get more than 75, that means you answered something wrong and...

  8. New Grad Rn Salaries

    TRR8021 replied to KAMARAkamara's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Truern, And how about the area? Did your classmate have anything bad to say about it? I know there's good and bad to every city, but just

  9. New Grad Rn Salaries

    TRR8021 replied to KAMARAkamara's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Does anyone know about the Greenville area? (Sorry if this is miles away from Charlotte- I'm not sure how close the cities are!) I ask because I saw an ad in the NSNA magazine to recruit new grads...

  10. Any Memorial Hospital nurse interns?

    TRR8021 replied to TRR8021's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the response. I plan to look into it, but I doubt there's much hiring going on right now anyway! It would be nice to get more clinical exposure.... And what exactly does a nurse intern...

  11. Am I too old to just be starting?

    TRR8021 replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    26 is not too old. In my class, there's a guy in his late 50's/early 60's and he's doing just fine. And there are plenty of mid-30's, early 40 year old students in school. Like some of the others...

  12. RN-MSN (WANT TO BE NP) is it possible while working full time as an rn??

    TRR8021 replied to want to do good 86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    rbezemek and SteveRN21, Did you do this during your first year as a nurse? I would like to continue straight through to become an FNP after I get my BSN, but I'm weighing the pros and cons. I want to...

  13. Living off loans??

    TRR8021 replied to MemphisTiger's topic in General Students

    The other problem is scheduling work around nursing school. I'm in that situation now. I applied to a second bachelor's degree program and I thought, "this will be great! In two years, I'll be a...

  14. Salary at MGH

    TRR8021 replied to TRR8021's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the response everyone. It sounds really appealing except for the parking thing . But getting good experience as a new nurse would be worth it. Of my professors that have worked at MGH,...

  15. Any NP's doing research too?

    TRR8021 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello everyone! Currently I'm a junior level BSN student and I already have a BA in biology. Recently, my interests have changed slightly. I was planning on getting an MSN after the BSN to become a...

  16. RIC Second bachelors degree students

    TRR8021 replied to Kelsta5185's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'll get in. GPA is usually the deciding point because there are so many applicants. Don't worry about being accepted so close to the time for the semester to start. If you get in, the...

  17. RIC Second bachelors degree students

    TRR8021 replied to Kelsta5185's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm a 2nd degree candidate at RIC. My advice would be to make sure you petition to take all 4 intro nursing classes together if that's what you want to do. There's a form you have to get from...

  18. Need Help with Finding the Right Path

    TRR8021 replied to AshBlonde83's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't feel discouraged. I was in your situation as well. I have a BA in biology and applied to a BSN program that I'm in now. It took me about 2 years to get into my program because I had to pull...

  19. Salary at MGH

    TRR8021 replied to TRR8021's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Oh sorry. I meant what's the starting salaries for registered nurses (not APN's just RN's) at Mass General because I heard it's 100k, which seems very high to me. I'm currently a junior nursing...
