  1. Nursing students required to have health insurance?

    Southern Magnolia replied to amanda081106's topic in General Students

    Proof of health and liability insurance is required for my program as well. The federal government is about to tell everyone in the US that they HAVE to have insurance or pay a penalty. At least...

  2. Could I be the only reformed misfit in nursing school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    I agree with all the wonderful supportive people who posted before me and I 2nd their thoughts. I'd like to add also something I've learned as I've gotten older - as hard as my childhood and life has...

  3. Singled out nursing student

    Southern Magnolia replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    Try not to take it personally - no one else should have the power to make you feel less. Just do what you have to do. Remember why you're there. I have struggled all my life to feel like I "fit...

  5. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    K- No worries. Just wanted to make sure you got it. Didn't want to leave you hanging. Sorry I don't know anything about the Kaplan. I did buy the Kaplan review guide when I was studying for the...

  6. my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    Southern Magnolia replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that there are people from all over the map on this board. Just like you found that their experiences don't dictate what happens to you - your experience doesn't invalidate theirs. It...

    Beege, I'll send you what I have in a bit. I was given a paper copy though so I'll just have to type it up for you. -this is Nomad by the way. I changed my screen

  9. What color is your uniform?

    Southern Magnolia replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Navy blue scrubs with school logo sewn on the scrub

  10. NAU accelerated program

    Southern Magnolia replied to cori.contreras's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Confirm with NAU that they plan to use the HESI. I've "heard" that they are switching the entrance exam to the Kaplan for the traditional program. It would stand to reason that if that's the case...

  11. What's in your lunchbox? Easy, quick and yummy food for school!

    Southern Magnolia replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Here's a "to go" breakfast idea I've always used for my husband. When I start school in the fall I'll start making my own. This is my version of a frittata. You sauté veggies and meat if you...

  12. Looking for the PERFECT ink pen ;)

    Southern Magnolia replied to nkochrn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I recently discovered Sharpie ink pens. They don't smear and have good flow. They aren't gel. I don't know the name but they recently came out with ones that are retractable which will be good for...

  13. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Southern Magnolia replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think you're wise to use the old application to get your bases covered. Regarding the exam switch - I haven't heard/ read anything other than what's on here but it appears they have already...

  14. Am I an idiot for choosing the BSN route rather than the ADN...?

    Southern Magnolia replied to lee_sHAY's topic in General Nursing

    In some cases I see the value of ADN vs BSN (mainly if one is going to be in massive debt to pursue the BSN). In your case I think it's a no-brainer to go for the BSN. If you want to pursue a higher...

  15. Students cheating on tests....

    Southern Magnolia replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    Deja

  16. How much did your nursing education cost you? Worth it?

    Southern Magnolia replied to resilientnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just getting started (in August) as a second degree BSN student. The 5 semester program will cost around 15K give or take. I'll only be taking nursing core courses. I'm praying I'll be able to...

  17. Low GPA applicants for ABSN winter/spring 2012

    Southern Magnolia replied to als224's topic in General Students

    Have you considered a traditional BSN program? If you have a prior degree and prerequisites out of the way all you'd take would be the core nursing courses with many programs. Also many traditional...

  19. Failed HESI A-2 Entry Exam & not allowed a retest. Please help!

    Southern Magnolia replied to bobbleheadoll's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No offense intended but if you aren't ready for the hesi I wouldn't think you'll be ready for a nursing program so soon either. The same challenges that prevented you from doing well on the hesi will...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I got the list (all except nur 214) from the advisor when I turned in my contract. I don't know if the different campuses do it

  21. Nonresponder to HepB Vaccine

    Southern Magnolia replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going through this now. I had the series in 2008. I'm starting school in the fall so I had a titer done. The titer came back low. Rather than the booster the dr recommended I do the series...

  23. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    O- No I haven't gotten the name tags or scrubs yet but I can't imagine the name tags are too expensive. Seems silly that they can't give the logo rights to a company down here though. I did call...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Cliff, Thank you. I'll try to seek out the FB page. I know there are several out there. Is it the NAU nursing Tucson

  25. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    O- that's frustrating. I had some issues getting all mine done too. My tb was positive so I had to do a chest x-ray ( it was clear). Then my heb b titer was low even though I took the series in...
