  1. Time to call a duck a duck?

    blondielocks replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not yet a nurse, still doing pre-reqs. Very, very interesting post wit some very good points. I'm sure many will disagree strongly with you. Nothing like a good debate though and I don't see where...

  2. Leaving full time job to go to nursing school...

    blondielocks replied to Krazy4pedsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ignore everyone who is telling you that you are making a mistake, taking too big of a risk, etc. I lost my job of $50k+ a year, and have had two offers at similar companies since then, but chose not...

  3. Moving out... on nothing?

    blondielocks replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    when did you turn 24? That will determine if you get good financial aid or no, and by good, I mean whether or not they will take your mother's income (or fathers), in consideration to yours. I left...

  4. fired if they don't like the color of your nail polish...

    blondielocks replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's fair to insinuate that nurses who take the time to put makeup on or do their hair give other nurses who choose not to, a bad name. And I don't think it is fair to insinuate that...

  5. Nursing School Dilemma

    blondielocks replied to MilwaukeeRNstu's topic in General Students

    Milwaukee - 1) What are your other responsibilities outside of school? 2) Do you have test anxiety? Are you not understanding? Basically, do you know WHY you failed the L&D, and why you are...

  6. Internships, Volunteering?

    blondielocks replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes, there are lots of those options. For volunteering, do a google search of hospital "your city" volunteer and you should get some results. I just had to fill out an application. For a job - search...

  7. Are we a dime a dozen?

    blondielocks replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot agree/quote/encourage/condone/remind/restate/etc enough of what MiszKimberlyCNA said. DO NOT GOOF OFF. Unless you are prepared to wait years to get into NS - (say, 10 maybe?) to be able to...

  8. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

    blondielocks replied to fosdog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a mother, and don't know if I ever will be, but, I know that I would personally consider waiting until AFTER nursing school. I tend to throw myself into my endeavors. If I was in NS and...

  9. Are we a dime a dozen?

    blondielocks replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    EXTREMELY INTERESTING POSTS(!!), Ladies & Gents :) I'm 22. I have already done a two year stint in community college (dual enrollment HS/CC) where I basically squeezed by in the easy-A classes,...

  10. Chem 101 study guide/pre-study guide?

    blondielocks posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all - I will be taking Chem 101 at ASU (Phoenix) in the fall....only about a month away! I haven't taken any sciences in probably 5 or 6 years. I was wondering if anyone knew of any online study...

  11. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    blondielocks replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP - I want to apologize, in advance, if any of MY post came across as rude or mean. Not my intention at all. I understand 100% that you want to ask questions and get help and I completely...

  12. Scared to mention even the slightest interest in CRNA progams?

    blondielocks replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you everyone for your positive feedback. I think you all are right. I will keep my head down, strive to do well right now (in pre-nursing, then in NS, then while I am actually working) and...

  13. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    blondielocks replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The issue of spelling and punctuation has been debated numerous times on here. I agree with Texas - he wasn't being mean but simply stating facts. I think that we should all strive to use proper...

  14. i intend to work in US ...I need help ...info and honesty

    blondielocks replied to asin's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, perhaps more information on your situation, and where in the US you plan to work - that might allow for better help

  15. My experience getting a job in the hospital

    blondielocks replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    congratulations

  16. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    blondielocks replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that an ADN is not as easy to get as an AA. However, I think that the original point was that no matter how you spin it or dress it up an ADN is still an Associate's degree, and a BSN is...

  17. Deciding which University to get my BSN

    blondielocks replied to Mhbs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You and your husband? That is awesome! Congrats on making your decision. I haven't been at ASU very long but if you have any questions I'm more than happy to give insight/help if I can. Feel free to...

  18. Financial Aid question

    blondielocks replied to C-lion's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another piece of advice, just my 2 cents, is that if you don't need to work, don't, as long as you are prepared to devote all that time you'd spend working, to your studies instead. After losing my...

  19. Nurse Anesthetists

    blondielocks replied to TLCinCT's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AMEN!!!! :yeah::yeah: I think we should all try to make an attempt to not be so condescending when posters express an interest in CRNA school/employment. After all, this forum is a Pre-CRNA Inquiry...

  20. Financial Aid question

    blondielocks replied to C-lion's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you can really decide if you want/need the part time job. Are you over age 24? Or are you married? That can contribute a lot to how much aid you get, if any, as well as student loans. If you're...

  21. Deciding which University to get my BSN

    blondielocks replied to Mhbs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ASU has online courses, but they have more traditional courses, especially for the BSN program. You do not have to take any classes online, so if that is the only thing you're worried about, you...

  22. Jaded past in AZ... Need advice, please?

    blondielocks replied to _phaedra_'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    To the OP: don't fret or lose sight of your goals. If you are religious, then pray, if you're not, just have faith. :) I have read of a few people on these boards with felony convictions who were able...

  23. nursing for financial independence

    blondielocks replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    To those who state the OP should go into nursing only if it is her passion, calling, or deepest desire - let me ask you this? If you were not paid a single cent, would you be a nurse? My passions are...

  24. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    blondielocks replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I definitely agree that from what I have seen/heard on these boards, nurses should maybe be paid a little more. Maybe each state can collaborate with the state's BON to come up with a form we...

  25. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    blondielocks replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I think that the aspect of pay versus education required is something that alot of people consider. If you qualify, financial aid can pay for the 1-1.5 years of pre-reqs and the two years of...
