  1. Wonderlic?

    DaniGrrl replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    According to Wikipedia (the font of all knowledge LOL) your Wonderlic score is approximately equivalent to an IQ score of 121, so that's better than average for sure. Sounds like you did well,...

  2. What do you think about Ebooks?

    DaniGrrl replied to SL2014's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't mind them if I had something like the entourage edge. That thing is way cool, you can highlight, write in the margins, even google text from the book you're reading. Of course, it's new...

  3. Does anyone here have or want tattoos???

    DaniGrrl replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I have one between my shoulder blades, a "tramp stamp" (LOL), and one on my calf. I want TONS more, but my finances don't keep up with my artistic desire. I drew two of mine, the other my husband...

  4. Just for fun - Your favorite vacation spot in NC!

    DaniGrrl replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I love the Outer Banks. I haven't been in years, but that wins my vote for

  5. Assault on a nurse

    DaniGrrl replied to futureRN09's topic in General Nursing

    I would think it's comparable to being charged with assaulting a police officer rather than just assault. The wrinkle being that you are assaulting a person who is attempting to do a job that involves...

  6. Write my own recommendation?

    DaniGrrl replied to vhinrich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She probably wants to help but isn't sure what to say or doesn't have time to do it properly. Go ahead and write something up and send it to

  7. Got any good BF resources?

    DaniGrrl replied to ibambamama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love "So that's what they're for" It was the book that convinced me to try bfing at all. I guess that's not much to add to the thread, but I had to say it.

  8. Boyfriend and school?

    DaniGrrl replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Why are you even talking about babies at all??????????????????? You are 16 for the love of all that is holy, let your body finish maturing before you have any kids of your own. I had my first baby...

  9. The Most Frustrating Mistake I Could Have Made

    DaniGrrl replied to MauriceRC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This kind of all or nothing thinking is not really healthy. This one particular mistake doesn't make you an incompetent human being, it just makes you human. They may not accept your application...

  10. Anyone Still Waiting to Hear?

    DaniGrrl replied to Buckeyefan47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's a long time to wait. I think I'd go insane. Kudos to you for your patience! I just finished sending all the parts of my application this week. From what I've heard, the school I applied to...

  11. So excited, I start tomorrow!

    DaniGrrl replied to Nurse Connie's topic in General Students

    Yay! I'll tell you what I tell my daughters every morning before school: "Have fun, work hard, get smart, be good, and have

  12. New advice about watts school of nursing test

    DaniGrrl replied to indiangirl77's topic in Nursing Career

    I took the test in December and passed with a 99 in the general and a 97 in the reading. If you find the sample tests easy, and are able to do well on the practice tests within the alloted time,...

  13. Watts Acceptance! :)

    DaniGrrl replied to LPNwannabeRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I took the test in December. It's very much like the sample. The time goes very quickly. It was the first time in my life that I didn't finish all the questions on a standardized test. I scored really...

  14. Finally!!!

    DaniGrrl replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :yelclap:

  15. How can someone even be like that?!

    DaniGrrl replied to futureRN_Anastasia's topic in General Nursing

    Your parents sound like bullies, stop giving them power. You are obviously a capable person, when they start in with their crazy opinions on what you're doing, politely tell them that you aren't...

  16. Wake Forest/Raleigh maternal child homecare?

    DaniGrrl replied to PARNMOM's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The Birth Center in Chapel Hill (http://www.ncbirthcenter.com/) also does this. I had my youngest there, it's a wonderful place with really fabulous women working

  17. So where is everyone applying?

    DaniGrrl replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Watt's School of Nursing, Durham,

  18. Other second career students?

    DaniGrrl replied to JBMmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My job isn't stable either. I think the idea that most 2nd career students are doing so as a luxury is pretty presumptuous. I don't think there are many in this economy who would take the risk of...

  19. I would appreciate some opinions (Watts application)

    DaniGrrl replied to DaniGrrl's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You're right. I think this worked out for the best anyway. A friend who is a doula (I had forgotten she was) offered to do it for me. I should be sending out my application packet this week!

  20. Thoughts on escorting patients to smoke

    DaniGrrl replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    There's also something to be said for the fact that many people with psychiatric disorders are effectively self medicating with cigarettes. There must be a better way to handle this, it shouldn't be...

  21. Fast Meal Ideas

    DaniGrrl replied to Rachelsoon2bRN's topic in General Students

    You should get a crock-pot. You can prep the food the night before, toss it in the crock-pot in the morning, leave it all day and come home to a finished meal. I love mine for busy

  22. Other second career students?

    DaniGrrl replied to JBMmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh boy, can I relate to that! when I was writing my essay to apply for NS, I realized that my kids got me over my college drop-out guilt. I realized that I would never want one of my daughters to sit...

  23. Vaccinations

    DaniGrrl replied to BraveNewWorld's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Vaccines are no guarantee against disease, but they work on a communal level. A higher rate of vaccination in a community protects everyone not because any individual is guaranteed to respond to the...

  24. Other second career students?

    DaniGrrl replied to JBMmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm second career, without degrees. I've been working as a data specialist for more than 10 years, 8 of that from home. I've got three daughters ages 13, 8, and 2. Between how long I've been a WAHM...

  25. The wait for your acceptance into nursing school

    DaniGrrl replied to jessymarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm almost where you guys are. I'm waiting for my boss to finish filling out my reference so I can send my application packet. I want to shake him to make him hurry up, but that probably won't help....
