  1. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but you, like so many others, fail to make the distinction between dropping out due to pregnancy, and dropping out because you're failing the ninth grade....not to mention that things were very...

  2. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    So....incredibly....misinformed. College professors are fall less inclined to hold your hand or listen to your excuses than high school teachers. Also, you seem confused on the meaning of...

  3. I need advise.

    OC85 replied to TnMAintraining's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Loan money first? Loan money still comes out of your pocket. Do you mean grant money? So it hasn't cost you anything yet, but if you continue, you'll pay 15,000 out of pocket? If anything, that's even...

  4. New Student Stress

    OC85 replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    ....yeah, pretty much. Generally, one would be feeling relief, right about now. Hell, once I knew I was in, there was a period of several days where it was more or less impossible to put me in a bad...

  5. I need advise.

    OC85 replied to TnMAintraining's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would do something, anything other than continuing on your current path. Charging almost 30k for an MA program is borderline

  6. Any Grants Out There to fund Nursing School?

    OC85 replied to dsidney's topic in General Nursing

    well, if your finances are very limited, you may qualify for federal pell grants. for example, thanks to a very good tax man, i was able to show minimal income on last years tax returns, and as a...

  7. Need Advice from you guys

    OC85 replied to wlb06's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To me, its ano-brainer. If you get along with your parents, and their offering you a free place to stay, allowing you to work less and focus on school, then I say go for it. I honestyl dont see the...

  8. effects of financial crisis in employment of foreign nurses?

    OC85 replied to ecmicahrn's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry to say, but I think thats part of the problem. If foreign nurses are willing to come in and work under terrible/unfair conditions, then US employers have no incentive to improve working...

  9. Need some encouragment...

    OC85 replied to Kylea's topic in LPN to RN

    Oh. My. God. You seriously need to quit complaining. You dont want to owe the hospital anything? Wow, the only offered to pay for your education while you do no work for them. So what if you don't...

  10. West Coast University?

    OC85 replied to We'llSee's topic in California Nursing

    Thats true, but I wasn't referring to their 18 month RN program. I was talking about the BSN program and the fact the most of the non-nursing classes can be taken at a community college without any...

  11. West Coast University?

    OC85 replied to We'llSee's topic in California Nursing

    I've never understood why anyone would be willing to pay such an absurd amount of money for an education that isn't even recognzed by more than a small handful of universities. You're right about the...

  12. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    OC85 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    yes, but the study only involved 64 people that were selected from a larger study group. 64 total [this includes light, medium, and heavy smoker] subjects does not make this statistically significant....

  13. potential nursing student

    OC85 replied to ms pacman's topic in General Students

    As long as your school is accredited, it shouldn't be a problem. There are many different types of accreditation, but regional is better than national [sounds backward, but national accreditation can...

  14. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    And yet, not a single response to what I'm actually saying. For the record, keys do stick occasionally, and I do not have the spell check program this forum uses loaded on my computer. I think I would...

  15. A little guidance...

    OC85 replied to CJ19's topic in General Nursing

    Well, thats good about the pharm tech job, maybe my brother was looking into something else pharmacy related.... As for the LVN classes not transfering....thats a bit of a misconception. No, the...

  16. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    OC85 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    Heh, you dont have to appologise, I agree with you. In a way, its almost worse, because I'm not really the "rebel" type. I have a really slender build and what most people would call "pretty" feature...

  17. anyone been to weight watchers?

    OC85 replied to Mulan's topic in General Nursing

    So true! While I never had a weight problem, I didn't always have the best eating habits. Its amazing how many junk food "cravings" are really just habituation. After a few weeks of eating more...

  18. A little guidance...

    OC85 replied to CJ19's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to mention that, as well, but do you know if hospital are still doing that? I mean, I know programs like that still exist, but in the current economic conditions where many hospitals have...

  19. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    OC85 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    Well, just remember, it could always be worse. For example, my school doesn't just require that long hair be pulled back, it also has to be above the collar. So basically, long hair has to be tied up...

  20. A little guidance...

    OC85 replied to CJ19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure pharm tech requires its own school program. My brother was looking into that in order to have a decent job while in school, but it was going to take like 8 months and the program...

  21. Nursing Recession-proof?

    OC85 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its recession-proof in the absolute sense, just moreso that many other industries. For example, I've been working as a hairstylist for a number of years. I'm very good at what I do, and...

  22. A Call for Help. Nuuuuurse!

    OC85 replied to thmpr's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Aww, see, thats what I hate about written corresponence....I always sound so cold and uncaring [i think its just part of my writing style]....really, there's no need to beat yourself up over it, I was...

  23. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not that it really matters, but I have an associates [non-nursing]. My previous line of work does not require an advanced degree,nor would one result in increased pay or allow me to do my job any...

  24. A stupid question on Sympathetic nerve system

    OC85 replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if thats a stupid question, then this is probably a stupid answer.... Could the increased need to pee in stressful situations also have something to do with cortisol [also linked to stress]? I...

  25. plz answer my qestion about GED

    OC85 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    That actually is an arguement for my position. Few people really know what they want to do at that age. They may think, 'oh I want to be a nurse! I just know its my calling in life!', but like you...
