  2. What to do with this empty bank account?

    learninmama replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried applying for federal aid? My husband was laid off in August & I wasn't sure with his wages from the previous year if I'd even qualify. I ended up qualifying for $5,000 a year! I was...

  3. Mean coworker

    learninmama replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you truly aren't missing out on anything with this one. It's hard to say what her true motives are. Maybe she feels you have in someway stepped on her toes. Hard to say if there is...

    learninmama replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing

    It's not like that everywhere. I think all nurses & doctors can play very important rolls to eachother. Unfortunately, like any other industry you are going to run into those that either got into...

  8. New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    learninmama replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wee good for you :) I know for me if I had gone to school for nursing 10 years ago I never would have taken it as seriously or appreciated it as much as I do know. I didn't have the best priorities...

    On the same topic of white scrubs does anyone know what brand is the thickest? I live in the middle of no mans land so I do all my shopping online. Hoping someone has some suggestions!! :)

  15. Grades in nursing school

    learninmama replied to redvelvet20's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work. Is it points based or no grades at all? I would start checking with grad schools now to see what they do in these situations. Surely some previous...

  16. Grades in nursing school

    learninmama replied to redvelvet20's topic in General Students

    I am curious about this as according to the school I go to anything below an 88% is failing and if you fail any of your classes you're out. Are the rules different per school/state? 100-95% is a A...

  17. Nursing School with a 6 month old?

    learninmama replied to gdoubleu's topic in General Students

    It's doable but you are going to have to allow yourself some slack. I agree you need a back up plan for your back up plan. I held off until both my kids were in school myself as I figured I wouldn't...

  18. dating in nursing school

    learninmama replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I'd say wait! There is no reason for him to be so pushy! He should be well aware of all the hours and hours it takes to study since he's doing it himself. Additionally, you don't need the drama in...

  19. when to start wearing scrubs

    learninmama replied to ese1212's topic in General Students

    Ours was in the 1st semester also as we have LTC clinical. I'd rather have had blue!! We got all white! So not flattering on a full figured woman

    learninmama replied to Latric3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The firct thing I had to do was take compass tests to see if I even qualified for the program. I was then allowed to test out of all the classes but the required science class. You may want to inquire...

    learninmama replied to Sylina2100's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    learninmama replied to rma2lpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  24. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    learninmama replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I guess it depends where you are as for the salary. I actually made more as a CNA 10 years ago then I am going to make as an LPN. (We moved to an area with much lower salaries). However, for me I know...
