  1. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    Guest 360983 replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    What ErinRN2B said. I heard a report on NPR about the federally acceptable student loan default rate vs. the student loan default rate at some for profit schools. I forget the exact figures but it's...

  2. Lone Star vs. HCC Nursing program

    Guest 360983 replied to MrsFish's topic in General Students

    You should check out the Texas student section. You will probably get more responses there. I've heard nothing but good stuff about Lonestar. I've heard very little about HCC but what I've heard...

  3. what the heck do you wear to a Nursing School interview?

    Guest 360983 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Students

    This! My borrowed suit was camel colored. I borrowed it from a friend who works in HR and she told me that everyone under 30 interviews in black and so I wasn't allowed to wear her black

  4. what the heck do you wear to a Nursing School interview?

    Guest 360983 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Students

    I wore a pant suit. Most people were wearing suits. Some of the guys wore a dress shirt, tie and slacks. A few of the women were wearing more "church clothes" than "business clothes"--cute top and...

  5. Flu shot this year

    Guest 360983 replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    I got the H1N1 vaccine after there was an outbreak in my office. I didn't have any side effects. I've gotten various flu shots a few times. I've never had any side effects and I've never gotten the...

  6. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    Guest 360983 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Gumby, I don't think anyone's intention was to attack you. I pointed out that new grads are having a tough time finding jobs because it really doesn't make sense for the OP to spend tons of money to...

  7. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    Guest 360983 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    But how many are for new grads? I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here, but I live in a large TX city. For the past year or so, everyone has said Texas is the place to be for new grad jobs, and...

  8. States that offer free nursing education in exchange for working with them

    Guest 360983 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    You don't need your parent's permission to get Stafford loans. Well, you personally may need it but you don't need them to sign the paperwork. I would suggest talking to your financial aid office...

  9. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    Guest 360983 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    But that's the thing--if there are no jobs to be had, there will be no income so graduating sooner from a more expensive school won't pay off the same way it does when the job market is better. I'm...

  10. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    Guest 360983 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    I guess it's too late for me to edit my other post. There is a difference between private universities and for-profit schools. I would be wary of for profit schools and at the minimum find out what %...

  11. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    Guest 360983 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    You do realize that most new grads in CA are having a tough time finding a job? I'd be very hesitant to rack up a ton of debt just to jump into a bad job

  12. How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    Guest 360983 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I know where you're coming from. When I first met my fiance, I was living just over an hour from him and we were both in school and working. We did that for a year, then he moved even farther away for...

  13. Disclosing that I am on pain medication?

    Guest 360983 replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    You want to know why I took my position? Because of opinions like rpred's. I also believe you don't want to give someone in a position of power any information they could use against you. When I...

  14. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    Guest 360983 replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    For students. Once I graduate, there will be no way in hell that I will work for free. I'd rather deliver pizza for Dominos to pay my bills if I need to wait for jobs to open up. EDIT: Matthew, if...

  15. Pharmacology at Central Texas College?????

    Guest 360983 replied to Mall10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took Pharm there in 07. I took it in person with no online elements with an older woman as the instructor. She was fabulous and gave us great review sheets before the exams. The class was a lot of...

  16. How can you afford BSN program and housing?

    Guest 360983 replied to girtenbt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You need to determine what you're willing to sacrifice. If you're going to school in the city, are you willing to move to the suburbs for cheaper housing? Are you willing to sacrifice location and...

  17. American Medical Institute - Houston

    Guest 360983 replied to kayleeray's topic in Texas Nursing

    Re: price My two years of nursing school (BSN program at public school in the medical center) will cost me $10k. That doesn't include the pre-reqs but I did those at local community colleges and...

  18. need advice.

    Guest 360983 replied to adriestrada93's topic in General Students

    Nursing degrees and med school requirements include very different classes. From what I understand, most med schools will want 1 year of Organic Chemistry as well as a year of calculus based physics....

  19. Disclosing that I am on pain medication?

    Guest 360983 replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't disclose anything, including the antidepressants. I don't think my health should be discussed by anyone beyond myself and my healthcare provider. Your school simply needs to know that you...

  20. university of phoenix RN and clinicals???

    Guest 360983 replied to alyCNA's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe CCNE only accredits BSN and above programs. There are PLENTY of community colleges that are NLN accredited--just search their website. And no, I would not go to an unaccredited college due...

  21. Colleges in NJ or NY??

    Guest 360983 replied to amandakatherine's topic in General Students

    Most schools (except for tiny liberal arts only colleges) have nursing degrees. Talk to your guidance counselor at school. Go to some college fairs. Get that big Princeton or College Board book that...

  22. all-students please share your clinical experiences

    Guest 360983 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    divine, please start your own thread. What you're doing is called threadjacking and considered impolite on message boards. OP, if you want more from clinicals, push for it. Ask your nurse to show you...

  23. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    Guest 360983 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but check out cheapesttextbooks.com. It searches lots of sites and gives you various prices on new, used and rental books. You'll have to pay shipping for the best...

  24. Pregnant, Nursing School, and Full time LPN

    Guest 360983 replied to maui12886's topic in General Nursing

    How are you planning on handling your spring semester when you're due in the middle of it? I'd plan on taking the spring semester off, unless you AND your hubby AND your doctor AND whoever is watching...

  25. To All Female Nurses ????

    Guest 360983 replied to xGuYx's topic in General Nursing

    I think they look silly in the little white dresses that nurses wear. I think stereotyping male nurses is archaic as white dresses. I'm not a nurse yet but when I was a medic I worked/trained/etc with...
