Does anyone participate in a weekend only nursing program? If so, what is the schedule like? Is it every weekend? Every other weekend? When are clinicals, lectures etc? Does this leave you time to work during the week? Any input would be much ap...

Has anyone even seen copies of this supposed plan? Where are all the details? Seriously, I think they will pass it without anyone even knowing what is in it. If anyone knows where there is a copy of this plan please let us know. I don't mean "fluf...

I think you should give the school a call and see if its normal and customary that parents attend. If they say "usually not" or "its students only" then you have your answer and you'll have to let mom down gently. If they say parents are welcome to...

I went to a SUNY upstate school and took CHEM 151 (chemistry for the health sciences). That was ten years ago, so I don't know if they have that class anymore, but it was a great class and not that difficult. The professor made it very interesting ...

The library in my neighborhood gets loud, too. Whatever happened to whispering softly in a library??!! Even the librarians get loud! I guess that went out the door years ago with general good manners, and yes, that's when everyone started being gl...

I would LOVE to hear Canadian's perspectives about their plans, as it is true that I hear a lot of nightmarish stories. It would be nice to hear the GOOD things about it. Anyhow, back to the OP's question...how will it affect nursing??

That is great that your professor caught this! Do you find it weird that "Ann" chose to sit next to you AGAIN, even after you told her no??? She sounds very bold, stupid AND insecure. God help her future patients!

Spidey's mom, thank you for all of the information you posted. I hope everyone reads it. We all need to do our own investigating of this issue and not take for granted everything coming out of the White House. This is a HUGE political issue with lo...

Universal healthcare coverage scares me. Such a huge overhaul of our healthcare system cannot be done without sacrificing tons of jobs, spending tons of money and making too many drastic changes. We are trillions of dollars in debt as it is! How a...

RetroReactive, do not give up! You are soooo young. You have your WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE to live. If nursing is what you want then go for it. You are only 17??!!!...when I was your age all I wanted to do was become a nurse....that is what I wanted my ...

You could be a case manager for an insurance company...I know an RN who works from home doing this and makes GREAT money. She hadn't been out of school barely two years before she acquired that job. You could be a phone rep for a health information...

Wow, everyone's tips were so amazing! It was fun reading them all. I am so fearful of going back to school and trying to balance single parenting, working full-time and school. If you can all do it there's no reason why I can't, right? I really t...

You may want to check out www.collegenet.com They have TONS of scholarships for many, many different criteria. Good luck!

Next time, what if you smile very nicely and say " Thank you so much for wanting to help and give advice, but I would really like to figure this out on my own. If I need advice or help you'll be the first one I ask, thanks!"...then go back to what y...

Anyone graduates having trouble finding a nursing job in Syracuse? I'm trying to decide if I want to enter nursing school or not. I'm worried about the job market. How bad is it in Syracuse? I keep reading about horror stories finding jobs in oth...

I took both A&P classes about 12 years ago. Although I don't remember exactly what was taught in each class I do remember you will learn everything you could ever want to know about each body system! It is A LOT of memorization, but in my class...

Sarahbeth, I will pray for you. I lost my mom last year to a LONG battle with breast cancer. It was sooooo hard to see it consume her after over a decade of fighting it with a vengeance. There comes a time when the battle cannot be fought any more...

Thank you so much mixyRN. That is exactly what I was hoping to hear! Would Crouse hire a grad from St. Joe's and vice versa? Or do they stick to hiring their own grads? I still haven't decided if I want to go to Crouse or St. Joe's, maybe I will a...

Thank you so much for your response, CrunchyMama, I really appreciate it. Some of the posts on this website are so negative, I was really getting worried. Best of luck to you with your schooling. I haven't applied yet, I'm still trying to make sur...

What time do you have your daughter go to bed at night? I would definitely get her into an EARLY bedtime routine, if she's not already, and then you would have a few hours every evening to study. Children that age can easily be persuiaded into goin...

I am not in the nursing profession yet, however where I currently work is dominated by women and everything the OP said goes on where I work, too. The races stick together, the women are catty and obnoxious. One would think this stuff only goes on ...

I may be wrong about this, but I think you are supposed to wait until you've been accepted to school before you apply for the loans. Apply to school, get the FAFSA form completed and then if you get accepted apply for the loans?? I think that's how...

Just DO it. You named all the reasons why quitting smoking will be easy for you. The same stamina you will use to stay focused on your quest to become a nurse you can apply to quitting smoking. You will be so busy studying etc, just like you said,...
