  1. One Binder or Many?

    twois replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use one medium/big binder, and if a class produces an large amount of notes/handouts (i.e. A&P or any of my upper division history classes from my first degree) I'll keep the ones already...

  2. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, basically. No drama here. I don't put people down. No reason to. I don't have a problem having a public discussion over someone's public statements, but it's never with the intention of harm....

  3. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I don't want to come across as the mean one here, but I hope you can take my comments here with a grain of salt... because you're not the only one here having what appears to be a minor...

  4. To recommend or not to recommend?

    twois replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, does this subject often come up in ICU job interviews? I often wonder how many GN's end up in their dream pre-CRNA ICU position after casually disavowing any interest in...

  5. To recommend or not to recommend?

    twois replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    I get so tired of hearing that kind of talk from people. I had one fantastic professor in my NS prereqs who was extremely selective in who she wrote letters for and gained the ire of several students...

  6. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well, yeah, like the tuition and fees information we had to send in as part of the application. or the school's websites, which usually pretty clearly delineate everything. or a call to financial aid....

  7. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, it was meant for school representatives. That makes so much more sense. I was looking at it going "man, are they sure they want ME to figure this all out?!" Hey, at least now I know to pester my...

  8. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got it too. The email wasn't written very clearly so I'm not entirely certain what this is for? It says "selected" applicants from the final review pool - I wonder why not everyone? Or maybe it is...

  9. At Age 70 I will still have Student Loans to Pay-OUCH!

    twois replied to GoNightingale's topic in General Nursing

    Federal loans can be capped at 10% of your income according to new legislation from a year or two ago. Private loans are not subject to that law, but they may work with you. You'll need to call Sallie...

  11. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And there's no saying that they didn't take these things into account and STILL have it end up a luck of the draw. Consider that perhaps the essays, the letters of rec, the GPA, etc. were all factored...

  13. Over studying??

    twois replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I used to, but nowadays I can tell when I've pretty much mastered the material and can turn my attention to something else for the time being. It's a very, very good skill to

  14. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I hate that it was due in the middle of finals. I sent mine in the day of the deadline because trying to get letters of rec, etc at the end of the semester was just so

  15. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    just realize that as far as financial aid is concerned, a 22 year old single student is considered dependent unless you have a kid, your parents have both passed, you're military, or other extenuating...

  17. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread... there has been a lot of great advice and words of wisdom in here! You guys are all amazing. I can't wait to start my ABSN program next month. I wanted...

  20. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I did a solid set of revisions on mine. Probably spent the better part of a week looking over them and working on them for a while each night. I found them sort of... repetitive? Not entirely,...

  21. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    twois replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, there are those of us who are going to need surrogate mothers when we go to start a family - you can definitely get paid for popping out babies, as long as you don't particularly want to keep...

  24. If you had to pick two careers/paid hobbies other than nursing...

    twois replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Having had a successful photography career that I'm now leaving for nursing... I'd never want to be paid to do something I love again. It's so easy to burn yourself out on something you held as a...

  25. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They could, perhaps, decide by the 30th even if they're waiting on your confirming documents. I mean, I'm pretty sure most of us sent them back with a big "YES YES PLEASE" checked on the confirmation...
