  1. I did briefly entertain the idea of applying to medical school, but the appeal of much more patient contact and caring really pushed me toward nursing. I also plan to start a family before too long...
  2. Pathophysiology☺Spring 2013

    I'm taking it this semester! We start on Monday. It's not a nursing course but you can take it concurrently with nursing courses if you want, it's not a pre-requisite
  3. USM ABSN Summer 2013!

    I had a huge mix-up with my mail hold while I was away last week so I called an adviser to ask if I'd missed a letter. She said they were still making final decisions as of today (1/3) and that the...
  4. What are your ultimate goals?

    I'm still pretty early in the journey, but I want to work in the PACU and potentially become a CRNA farther in the
  5. USM ABSN Summer 2013!

    I applied but I haven't heard anything yet. I hope that doesn't mean anything. I'm already in school at USM and enrolled in the regular nursing program, so it wouldn't be the end of the world, but...
  6. USM Lewiston-Auburn College

    I was just accepted as a transfer student to USM at the LAC campus. I don't have all the pre-reqs done but it looks like they are only offered in Portland/Gorham and then the nursing courses are in...
  7. USM Lewiston-Auburn College

    I did some more research and I was wrong; the prereqs are all offered at LAC, they are just listed under different departments (SCI instead of BIO, for example). I'll be living with my boyfriend, but...
  8. I'm fairly confident. I have been accepted to the school as a pre-nursing student, and I have a good academic background. I'm not SO confident that I just KNOW I will get in, but I am also not...
  9. Anything that can help get in?

    Some nursing schools do require a current CNA certification. The one I'll be applying to does. It's going to be a race against the clock to finish pre-reqs before the CNA certification expires, as I...
  10. anyone? micro and/or physio spring 2011?

    I'm taking Micro starting in March (we're on trimesters). I'm a little nervous but I've done really well in most of my bio classes (I'm a bio major, graduating in the spring), so I hope it goes...
  11. Anyone else having second thoughts?

    Yes, I'm turning 22 on
  12. I am about to graduate with a bachelor's in biology in June, and I have been accepted a pre-nursing student in preparation for my ADN to start in the fall. While I know that I eventually do want to...
  13. Anyone else having second thoughts?

    Yes, that's what I'm interested in doing. A lot of my classes do count, but there are a few that I haven't taken that aren't offered at my school or that I wasn't able to take (ex. I've taken...
  14. Seemingly pointless classes

    I'd honestly rather write papers than take tests. Papers allow you to really show your breadth of knowledge. If you choke on a test, that's
  15. The University of Minnesota has this
  16. U of M's MN Degree

    I had originally planned to attend St. Kate's starting this fall for prereqs and then the ADN program, but I've recently had a bit of a quarter-life crisis and decided to take some time to work in a...
  17. Considering ttc while in school - advice pls

    This thread is really interesting to me. I will be starting a three-year nursing program in the fall, and my drive to have a baby and be a mother is HUGE. My partner and I are planning children...
  18. Email resignation?

    I did this recently. I attached a PDF copy to an email, and stated in the email that a paper copy would be following my US Mail. It seemed to work
  19. College Credits Question

    This fall, I will be starting pre-nursing courses at a University. I will take them for 1 or 2 semesters (depending on what I can get into right away), and then apply for the nursing program. I will...
  20. What do you have to wear???

    I recently left a job a nursing home where techs wore turquoise tops with black bottoms and the nurses wore prints. We could wear whatever we wanted on
  21. Would you marry a Doctor?

    Because ALL doctors MUST have been divorced twice, have spoiled children, and fancy cars. I think this hang up on profession is ridiculous. Marry whoever you
  22. Being forced to work while sick

    I am a CNA in a nursing home and we have a similar policy. I had a doctor's note to not come in until I was on abx for 24 hours for an infection, and when I called to tell them, they told me if I...
  23. Ethics of Pushing for C-Sections?

    While it is great that this doctor wasn't pushing for a C-section, anecdotal evidence in just one instance doesn't mean that many doctors are not pushing for C-sections, whether the reason is profits,...
  24. I need to vent.

    We are required to have two for a Hoyer lift (sling lift) but not a sit-to-stand or PAL lift. It seems to me that if you go to the trouble to get a second person, you might as well do it SAFELY with...
