  1. Ohio Univ RN-BSN

    anon695 replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think this is because the expensive online for-profit ones like University of Phoenix, Chamberlain, Excelsior, etc. do a ton of advertising. So more people know about those programs, and may be...

  2. Nurses working without health insurance

    anon695 replied to linguine's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm don't graduate and take NCLEX until June, but I don't have any health insurance. I had COBRA but it was very expensive and the company denied all my (seldom) claims anyway. I discovered that if...

  3. How did you know Nursing was/is for you

    anon695 replied to scrubs92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't know nursing was right for me because I'd never tried it or worked in healthcare setting in another capacity, but I had a very strong suspicion it was. I worked in corporate human resources...

  4. Pretty sure I'm the only nursing student ever

    anon695 replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    I love med-surg content AND clinicals. There is always variety in med-surg, always something new to learn, and I like working with adults rather than children or babies. I'm in my fourth semester and...

  6. Prove my Mom wrong, please

    anon695 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered Mirena IUD? It has 1/800 the amount of hormones in the pill and can be used for up to 5 years. In my opinion, getting pregnant and having a baby in an ABSN program is a terrible...

  7. What's a good reason to quit nursing school?

    anon695 replied to none the wiser's topic in General Students

    What is a good reason to quit nursing school? 1)You're as sure as you can be that you do not want to be a nurse 2) Multiple failures. Sorry to sound harsh, but IMO if a student has failed NS more than...

  8. ASN TO BSN, Need help with paper.

    anon695 replied to Ared1's topic in General Students

    My guess would be genetic counselor, Rabbi for psychosocial issues, and social worker (for if they have the baby and need help getting services for special

  9. Internship for Student Nurse in NYC!

    anon695 replied to European's topic in New York Nursing

    Check again every few days, it's probably too early for it to be up. I applied in the middle of Feb, that's when I saw it on indeed.com and

  10. RN to BSN or accelerated nursing program

    anon695 replied to DorothyR's topic in General Nursing

    I was in your same situation - I had a non-nursing BA and wasn't sure which route to go, ADN-BSN or ABSN. I think it depends on your financial situation and what your living situation happens to be....

  11. Financial loans stress

    anon695 replied to newtotown's topic in General Students

    What state university system doesn't accept people with 2 bachelor's degrees for a master's program? Why not move to another state that will accept you into a program and work as an RN there while you...

  12. Financial loans stress

    anon695 replied to newtotown's topic in General Students

    By "grad nursing program" do you mean a master's degree? Even so, $80K is obscenely expensive, is it a for-profit school? You can find a much better deal at a state university, so why pay more (and in...

  13. I need reassurance that a 50 year old has a chance of getting into nursing school!!

    anon695 replied to Danaat4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school can't discriminate based on age, whether or not you get accepted will be based on

  14. Maternal Nursing Review Book

    anon695 replied to curtRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I used "Material and Newborn Success". It's only about $30 on Amazon.com and was a wonderful resource. It's all practice questions with rationals, there are over 100 questions per maternity/newborn...

  15. International student looking for a good cheap university

    anon695 replied to joneriksson's topic in School, College Programs

    By "here" do you mean the US or Canada? If you mean the US, try a state university, they are much less expensive than private schools. Each state has its own university system and the prices can be...

  16. I have my first interview ever! Any advice?

    anon695 replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, 3.5 inches is way too high, it will look like you want a job as a cocktail waitress. Keep it under 2 inches. No boots, if don't have dress shoes with lower heels go buy them now. I wouldn't...

  17. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    anon695 replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not trying to sell you back on Facebook, just letting you know that there are things you could do to make yourself less of an open book out there. Thank you, if I ever open a new account it will...

  18. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    anon695 replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Won't they see that my friends are linked to the school and class year (everybody does that, I had done it too until I deleted the account last week) and figure out it may be me in disguise? Even if...

  19. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    anon695 replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I considered this but it would still maybe be attached to my nursing school class and year, have a picture of me on it, and would therefore raise a red flag to employers anyway (that I'm using a fake...

  20. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    anon695 replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm graduating in June and I deleted mine a week ago. I lead a very tame lifestyle and had only bland family, pet, and home-cooking photos on Facebook. All my privacy settings were "friends only" but...

  21. Massive RN Layoffs

    anon695 replied to Obamacare's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. Layoffs are due to the poor economy and state budget cuts. It has nothing to do with Obama. 2. There is no such thing as "Obamacare". The new policy is simply that people MUST buy insurance from a...

  22. What is your advice to new students?

    anon695 replied to CASM's topic in General Students

    Make nursing school the #1 priority in your life and study like you've never studied before. Study at least 3 hours per day, seven days per week. Study even more for the 5 days leading up to an exam....

  23. BSN: 55K for 1 year vs. 4K for 2 years

    anon695 replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for the $4K program. Nursing programs are pretty standardized, there is no way that the $55K program is significantly different or better than the $4K program. Besides, if you already have $18K in...

  24. Encouraging students

    anon695 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I'm a student in my final semester and I'm 31 (generation X). Here's what helped and encouraged me: 1. Instructors treated me like an adult and always treated students with respect (no yelling, name...

  25. should I talk to HR?

    anon695 replied to raygun354's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in HR before I changed careers to nursing. I wasn't in healthcare, but HR is fairly universal across all industries. At the point where you've accepted the offer, signed all the...
