    Aberdeen replied to amara827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. I want to leave nursing....now what do I do?!

    Aberdeen replied to np7797's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Feel like such a failure..

    Aberdeen replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The EFC is your “Expected Family Contribution”. This is the amount of money that FAFSA says you have available to pay for your tuition. They use a formula to determine the cost of attendance by...

  12. uk girl wanting to study in the us(any state).i have dual nationality British and US.

    Aberdeen replied to Uk girl's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t know for sure, but I would think you would fall under the “American’s Abroad” clause for Federal Student Aid since you have American citizenship, but like I said I don’t know. There...

  15. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    Aberdeen replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't agree more. And when life does happen you have an extra 10-15 minutes to still get there on

  16. constant complaining

    Aberdeen replied to Izzy11's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Aberdeen replied to 122307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion which is based on, the things you posted about yourself and my limited knowledge of both professions is that nursing would be the better choice. You said that you are really bad in...

  20. Does anybody else get this from family or friends.....

    Aberdeen replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did get the same reaction in the beginning, but I think most of it was just the initial shock of me making such a big change in my life. Plus I’m a guy, so the whole male nurse thing gets involved...

  21. A and P Drama

    Aberdeen replied to Niki_lccc_Stluke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't beat yourself up. A&P can be a hard class. There is a lot of information to learn and it takes a lot of time to learn it. There is a lot of good information on this site that can help you...

  22. Anesthesia Provider Pay to Drop 60%

    Aberdeen replied to Screen name's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Aberdeen replied to Strwbrywne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of any websites that will help, but what I did to keep everything in order and organized was to make a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet I made had five columns that included: hormone name,...
