  1. Pre-Reading?

    cingle replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Can't hurt to ask! My courses have started to post syllabi and schedules on the school website, so you might start

  2. To Do List.: Before Fall Semester

    cingle replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Things I'd like to do prior to moving to Nashville next Monday (17th): * Finish cleaning the house * Get a haircut * Pull together a real wardrobe of clothes for lecture classes * Have the dogs...

  3. 50, Single, and Starting Nursing School in August - Can It Be Done?

    cingle replied to Emptynstr2's topic in General Students

    School is definitely possible for those of us who are no longer 20-something! I'm 43 and going into an MSN bridge program this August -- is that NEXT MONTH?! You must have a support system and...

  4. Medical Terminology

    cingle replied to sunshine304's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Terminology is entirely memorization, spelling, and pronunciation. A&P also is a lot of memorization. Some of the terminology of both classes will overlap and can reinforce each other....

  5. Any runners???

    cingle replied to CardioTrans's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I started jogging by accident when I was 40 -- I'd been walking fast on the treadmill and eventually kicked it up until I was jogging! I had always been overweight, since childhood, so I was never an...

  6. What do you pack for lunch??

    cingle replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm starting school in August and I'm hoping there will be a fridge and/or someplace cheap and close so I can get healthy food. I've worked in a hospital-based family practice clinic for a few years...

  7. Nursing Student Supplies

    cingle replied to ___Mona___'s topic in General Students

    I love me some Danskos and found them comfortable from Day One with no breaking-in period necessary. But they can be squeaky. Also important is a good bag -- something really comfy to carry with...

  8. RN Pay Rates in NC

    cingle replied to tracyprn's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I moved here from Indiana about 14 years ago. Housing here in Western NC is expensive...not to mention that we sometimes have the highest gas prices for the whole Southest. Property taxes are high...

  9. Just finished on-line intermediate algebra prereq. Anyone taken online course?

    cingle replied to Student InNJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I enjoyed most of the online courses I've had, but the math ones were toughest. I cried my way through Statistics online last summer! You'll do fine with night classes. Even after working all day,...

  10. Should I go for a BSN or RN-MSN since I hace a BS degree already?

    cingle replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in General Nursing

    The price is right, but it doesn't get you where you need to go. If you're going to work hard for a year, you might as well get where you're going. There is a bridge program at Vanderbilt...

  11. Is my career ruined before it began?

    cingle replied to ize4love's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've read that hair grows, on average, 1/2 inch per month. Maybe you could just cut the older stuff off? If you've been clean for 4 1/2 months that would mean your hair could be about 2 1/4 inches...

  12. Hierarchy in Nursing?

    cingle posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just starting NS this Fall, but I've worked in outpatient care for many years. One thing I've noticed in the office is that there seems to be a hierarchy in nursing that makes it difficult for...

  13. Hierarchy in Nursing?

    cingle replied to cingle's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for the replies. I sounds like it's a combination of good management and cooperation amongst all levels of professionals makes for the best unit, regardless of pecking order. I've been...

  14. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    cingle replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    "As for the thongs keep that stuff private! They only person that needs to know what underwear I have on is whoever I choose to assist me in removing it. Hee hee!" Too

  15. Chocolate Crocs

    cingle replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I thought it was going to be about shoes made of chocolate...one could take a bite in case of emergency! But seriously if we put shoes and chocolate together, we have the makings of a woman's

  16. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    cingle replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    I work in a medical office and we used to have a CNA here who wore yellow scrub pants with a black thong...every time she moved around we all got an eyeful. Once she wore white pants with polka-dot...

  17. Fall 2009 Graduate school roll call!!!

    cingle replied to love-d-OR's topic in Post Graduate Students

    1. Vanderbilt University Nursing school 2. Masters - Adult Nurse Practitioner 3. I will not work the first year...thinking about working part-time during the second year. 4. Will be a full-time...

  18. tired of school

    cingle replied to travel50's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I vote for taking time off from work, too. If you don't think you can do an actual LOA, how about trying to work 1/2 days until you're done with your program? When I first started back to school...

  19. Direct Entry MSN program

    cingle replied to jungdt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No...in order to direct-entry to VU one must have a certain number of college credits and specific courses...no bachelor's is required or entry. But after 2 years (full time) one earns a Masters...

  20. Community Colleges/vanderbilt/nashville?

    cingle replied to kadooj's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Personally I've taken many online courses and benefitted from them greatly...but NOT the "hard" sciences. For those I needed (either because I missed them the first time around or because they were...

  21. How old were you when you began nursing school?

    cingle replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    I'm with the more "mature" crowd here. I'm starting a MSN program this fall and plan to complete it August 2011 as an Adult Nurse Practitioner. I'm 43 and not yet an RN...I'll get to that later this...

  22. Direct Entry MSN program

    cingle replied to jungdt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Vanderbilt University has a multiple-entry option for their MSN program. The reason why one is not awarded a BSN "along the way" to the MSN is because of the credits one must have coming in....

  23. CNA vs CMA and training

    cingle replied to jstreat0418's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where you want to work and what you want to do. If you want to work in-patient or long term care, then CNA is for you. Your skills will be based on bed-side care of the patient....

  24. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

    cingle replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I guess this does happen everywhere! Something similar went on in the office where I work about 2 years ago. First of all, you must have a clear, written understanding of who is in charge. Ask...

  25. Curious about debit from accelerated BSN programs

    cingle replied to woodlandstar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It really depends on what state you're in and what the public schools there have to offer. That's likely to be the least-expensive option. Other than that, check into those pricey private schools....
