The expense worries me too. I was hoping to quit my job while attending, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to afford it. If you've got student loans over your head already, the CC route would probably be much more affordable. Good luck either ...

I think there's a huge difference between typos and posting in text style. I can live with people's typos, I wish people would make more of an effort to use something close to correct grammar/punctuation/spelling, I skip over posts that look like cha...

The test does not have science content. It seems to me that it is mainly a test of reading speed/comprehension and basic skills - vocab, math calculations. If you read and work quickly, the test isn't too bad. I was shocked at how fast the time passe...

I did pass on my first try, but I have always been a fast reader and a good test taker. As I stated above, the time is the killer on this. If the content isn't too hard for you, then you just have to work on your speed. That test was the first time I...

Yeah, I only took it once. We did two test sections, on the website they refer to three sections, I think that's why there was a time difference. I really think that the big challenge on that test is time, the questions themselves aren't that difficu...

I passed the entrance test last month. Now I'm getting ready to send in my application and a reference from my boss is holding it up. I have 2 other references (personal friends, one I've known 15 years, the other is a police officer I've known for 3...

He already said that the 3000% was incorrect, he meant $3000 per year. Geez o flip.

I wish it wasn't called the healthcare bill, because it really isn't changing healthcare, but here goes nothing... The healthcare bill is going to cut the deficit over the long-term: billions over the next 10 years, more than a trillion the 10 years...

I'll be 34 this summer, about 2 weeks after I start my classes, you're definitely not alone. I've always wondered what I'd be when I grew up, now I know. It's funny because once I decided to do to nursing school (a few years back) I just knew that it...

My aunt woke up with a hugely swollen nostril as a toddler. They took her to the doctor worried that something was wrong. It turned out that the day before she had gotten hold of a dried bean and stuffed it up her nose. Overnight, it absorbed the moi...

Oh my gosh, he said 3000% instead of 30 times or whatever other number was meant. Surely that shows that he is incompetent and fixing health care is a socialist plot!

I know there are a few of us here, I've seen others post in different threads. Waiting for the MOC person to call is going to make me crazy. I want to talk to them and have everything set up now. Clearly, patience is not my greatest virtue. I feel b...

I got a financial aid award letter from MOC, but I haven't gotten any phone calls from them. The waiting is killing me! I took a few of the pre-reqs years ago, but I'm not holding my breath that I'll get credit. I don't mind if I have to retake them,...

I'm in the same boat. My general classes start in June, nursing classes in January. I hate waiting for the information! I want to know which classes and books and supplies I need so I can start getting ready.

There's a forum for that :) https://allnurses.com/mobile-computing-nursing/ I'm thinking about the same issue right now. I'm about to start school in just a few months and I'm trying to decide if I need an iPod Touch or a PDA or if I'm just making an...

I just want to point out that I'm a 33 year old woman and I like talking about sports, LOTR, AND Star Wars. So, you never know who is going to have similar interests to yourself. Bring up the stuff you like, if the person you're talking to is a decen...

My 13 year old daughter is an Aspie and she calls it Ass Burgers all the time.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEwwwwww! Moonscapes? That's such a disturbing image.

The really abusive side of the system is the amount of money that is dumped into it by people who are working hard and trying to get by and how little those same people get out of it. Please don't try to claim that that is due to abuse by the uninsur...

Congratulations! I'm terrified too.

It's great that you had such a great day and that you helped her with breastfeeding. My family does not BF, and I wish someone had educated me about it when I was a young mother with my oldest daughter. By my second daughter, I did figure it out.

I am only speaking as a patient here, so take this for what it's worth. One of the problems that I see in the US is that it is very easy to get caught in an insurance limbo and end up without access to care. For example, my parents were both laid off...

Thanks, and congrats to you as well! The program is kind of unusual, it's a diploma program that made an agreement with a college so that graduates would have a diploma RN plus an Associate's in Health Sciences. As part of the agreement, everyone who...

I wouldn't, nor would I expect anyone to do that for me.

I got into a diploma program. I start the required non-nursing classes in June. Nursing classes start in January of 2011. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.
