    Big envelope = accepted. Small = rejected?

    MiahMSN replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    For my MEPN program I got a regular sized envelope (small) with my acceptance letter. Whatever you get, open it up!! Good

    Starting school in the fall - when should I tell my job?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    Caliotter3, that's what I'm thinking......to hold off as long as possible. Some days I'm convinced that my boss works for the devil himself, so I'm going to have to exercise discipline and restraint...

    :yeah:Yay Kim! Congrats!! I know, wasn't the letter very vague. No mention of the SON contacting us or anything - another reason why I made copies! LOL.....But it seems we all got the same letter and...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    That's subjective and a matter of personal opinion. We may live in the same area, but what I need may be different than what you need. But true, cost of living should play a role, but not the only...

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Now that type of pay for an RN, I don't care what the cost of living is, is insulting!

    The copies are proof!!! I have this weird paranoia that it was a mistake and I need the copies to prove that it isn't, just in case I misplace the original letter! LMAO:p:rolleyes: Girl, I'm crazy, I...

    Thanks, Jill! I've been looking at the letter all weekend (I even made copies of it! LOL). Yes, I can breathe somewhat, but I still have to finish out this semester, but now that I know, it gives me...

    A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

    MiahMSN replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, well you will never get around that - they just cannot give consent. So are you opposed to veterinarian students dissecting animals so they become appropriate, skilled and knowledgable physicians...

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in California Nursing

    oh, I agree! In my opinion, it's like going backwards to get an ADN if you already have a BA, even in a different field. I guess some just want to get into a program and not have to wait so long, but...

    LOL, you're too kind! But I guess I will speak for myself. But I really should've started taking prereqs last summer (or spring for that matter, to avoid the urgency I'm dealing with now) since I only...

    Yeah, I'm glad they accepted it also! I would've thrown a tantrum! The crazy thing is that they accept Micro from UCLA extension (several other schools accept the course as well, including UCLA), yet...

    How mych did you $pend to become a Registered Nurse?

    MiahMSN replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    ExPharmaGirl, I feel your pain! I have about $60k from my previous academic life in a different field (BA and MA). However, the accelerated directy-entry MSN program I'm applying to is a little over...

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't read many of the posts in this thread then. Yes, it is more than possible after a the first year and even starting pay, in Northern California. To the person who asked about cost of...

    Can RNs really make this much?

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    True. There are already several of us in my class trying to shine so the instructors can consider us for CNA positions at the end of the program, as they've mentioned that they've hired several in the...

    A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

    MiahMSN replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my class, we dissected cats, sheep brain and parts of the human cadaver. I'm not sure I understand your ethical dilema in being vegan and dissecting animals that more than likely, died of natural...

    Telling your employer that you're going to nursing school

    MiahMSN replied to sherilyn321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm hoping to start a direct-entry program and it will be fulltime. The students advise students not to work, as your schedule is never consistent and you can be in class from 8-3 one day and 8...

    MiahMSN replied to cjveronica's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is a bit reaching and somewhat attacking, no? I think she only stated that she has 6 children, along with being in nursing school and other aspects of her life. When and where did she use...
