Hi Kaylee15: 1st volunteer at a hospital, interview nurses in different fields with wide ranges of experience from novice to mentor. Do this to determine if this is what you want because what non-nurses or even nursing admission counselors often leav...

On Friday I received the much anticipated acceptance letter into a BSN program which I applied to in January. At the time I was also considering a community college if I did not get accepted or if I found no resources to fund my education. I already ...

Congratulations! Thank you for those encouraging words. I was beginning to become discouraged and sustain panic attacks as my date gets closer. Especially considering the multitude of recent success stories on this site are attributed to Kaplan. Than...

:nurse:Macgirl: Totally understand this dilemma I'm a 3rd semester JW nursing student (JW's-quite the hot medical topic!). This is a matter of conscience which you should think and research thoroughly. The participation or lack of participation in th...

Hmmm...as some posters mentioned it is doable. Just make sure you become efficient with time management in order to successfully study for both classes. I am currently finishing up my semester having taken both while, might I add, starting a brand ne...

Thanks guys!

Hello All! I am a pre-nursing student in my last semester before nursing school. I have consistently searched for healthcare and non-healthcare positions in the town which I live and go to school for over a year but to no avail. Currently, I am faced...

Aww thanks guys for the replies. I ended up taking the patient care technician position 45 minutes away. The commute is not so bad. Extremely difficult during initial orientation and beginning of a school semester. I have been able to learn at least ...

Hmmm...I like that question. Depends on the situation. Whether the cost of living remains the same or significantly decreases. Is the level of responsibility the same? Perhaps I would. If it is the US regulating this salary with the current cost of l...

I currently volunteer at a local (you may be wondering if I applied at this facility...yes multiple times) until I found an employer who would hire me in the health-care field (preferably in the same town I live and attend school). I am neither marri...

Thanks Suse!

Mama2fiveboys: No...it's fedex and they have a tuition reimbursement program as well. Then again, the hospital offers educational assistance as well. Here's some other factors the pkg handler job is 3am-7:30am and the pct position is variable on week...

I absolutely loved Organic Chemistry! Easy, got an A. Hmmm... Advice, have someone re-teach the material besides your professor, the textbook I used this really smart guy on YOUTUBE his username is ChemGuy. He touches on virtually every subject in Or...

Hmmm... what an interesting thought. I agree with previous posters, you can only eat an entire elephant if you take it one piece at a time. Basically try not to become overwhelmed. (Breathe and get enough rest) I wrote a list in my subject's notebook...

I realize that this may seem a bit absurd; however, I used YOUTUBE as an additional resource when I did not understand a chemistry concept that my instructor/textbook tried to convey. I made an A.

Hi Jasgop, Thanks for the advice!

I am taking Microbiology this semester along with Anatomy & Physiology II and Nutrition. Our Microbiology textbook is Microbiology: An Introduction by Tortora. The instructor is supposed to be really good. I will definitely see if the ratings are...

I am a pre-nursing (BSN) student with a keen interest in living in New York. More specifically, I am looking to live in Brooklyn. What is the best place to work as a new grad? Why? What starting salary should a new grad at the specified facility expe...

Ok, here goes. I have a recently obtained BA in Communication (Fall 2008) and by January finalized my decision to be a nurse. Having a BA, most of my classes as you would probably guess are not science-oriented. I received Bs in my college science an...
