HellooooNurse

This is helpful!! I had to take time out of school bc of family financial issues (hooray for the economy!) so I'm looking into FAFSA and WIA and all that other stuff now. I don't want to switch schools, but I have to keep my options open and see what...

Are community colleges not an option? They have lots of options time-wise, but not a lot of room in the program. That's the only bad thing. The private places usually have lots of options, but you have to weed out the crappy ones. I looked at these ...

Cool!! I didn't know that existed. Thanks!!

Hmm. That doesn't sound too great. Before I chose the school I go to now (sort of - I had to take some semesters off bc of family stuff but I plan to start again in the fall), I looked into NWIHT. It seems as though a couple of the private LPN progra...

OMG that's great that they have financial aid. They also have a new website. I guess I could have looked there first. There's a ton of info there. I'm gonna call and make an appointment with the FAFSA lady if I can. It will be such a blessing to have...

Wow, great feedback!! This is really good to know. Thank you!!

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. This thread has grown!! I'm sorry to hear the Americare has been disorganized. I had to take some time out of school because of family issues, and I'm itching to go back to school but I don't know if it's ...

They have to do background checks at the school I go to, and one of them is through TransUnion to make sure that we're giving them correct SSN and address info. Makes sense because what's the point of going to nursing school in I'm not legal to work ...

The fact that you want to continue your education is a step in the right direction. It sounds like you've been pretty dependent on this guy, and he knows it. It's pretty clear that he's holding you back. I think that moving yourself and your sister i...

This is beautiful. I hope he knows how you feel.

It takes a caring, competent individual to be a nurse. If someone considered going to nursing school, I would only encourage them wholeheartedly if they felt that was their calling. I have no patience for people who are in it "for the money." Nursin...

Based on the experience that I've had so fair, again, it's the failing students who complain, and by the look of those horrendous writing skills... well... Theres always some excuse as to why they're the victim. I'm glad some students get weeded out...

If you want a charismatic teacher who will push you to do your best, pick Professor X. I know a lot of my classmates hated him because he takes no excuses, but they were the lazy teenagers who were too busy playing on their iPhones to pay attention t...

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. So Keeplookingup7, what did they do to you that has made you so upset? I'm having a hard time with your post because I've never experienced anything like what you're describing. Also, I think you're being rathe...

You should consider it. Some of my classmates are working as CNAs and are getting tuition reimbursement because they're in school for healthcare.

When I took the exam, some people failed. I felt kinda bad for them because they were older and got all discouraged.

Hey!! Cool, I go here. I went to an info session too when I was looking for schools last fall, and it was okay. I got lots of information and all - pretty much everything I wanted to know. It took FOREVER though because some people were asking quest...

I totally think your hesitation is legit!!! I would even consider checking with the state board of financial and/or professional regulation to ask if that would be an issue with them. I mean, the purpose of that information would be to verify and det...

One of the ladies that work there said that its best to ask the school they want to transfer to. And something about a bridge program. I think like, some schools don't care where you went to school before, so long as you passed NCLEX and are licensed...

Wow!! I wish I could lose weight during school!! Mostly everyone I've seen go through the program I'm in now has gained weight. I can imagine that added stress also contributes to the weight gain. Plus when you're on the go between work and school a...

Actually, the BCG should only cause you to have a positive PPD which would require a chest x-ray or QFTG... I've never heard of bruising before!! For a physical once, the stupid nurse (seriously, if you don't care about people, DON'T be a nurse) stuc...
