  1. Why do people rent text books?

    Miz_Que replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had great luck with buying my books at Amazon or Half.com and then selling them back to my college bookstore. As a previous poster stated, it does take some time to hunt the good deals down,...

  2. how hard is nutrition class? Will i feel loaded down if i add it?

    Miz_Que replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I also took my nutrition class online and while the content was easy, it was a very time-consuming class due to all the busy work and paper we had to write. Miz

  3. Volunteering

    Miz_Que replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting to me that you are required to volunteer for one year as a minimum. What are they going to do if you leave before that year is up? Miz

  4. With all the waiting lists, why don't more people...

    Miz_Que replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is an alternate entry MSN in my area for people with a BS, but I cannot go that route because it spans over 3 summers. I have 2 kids and my hubby would not be able to watch them while I am in...

  5. Two Associates degrees ?? Does it make sense ?

    Miz_Que replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    If that is what you want to do, I say go for it! I have 2 bachelor degrees and I am currently going for an Associates degree right now. I don't think it matters what level of degree you get, as long...

  6. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    Miz_Que replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    In our micro we used non-virulent strains of the microbes, so that made me feel better about it. I still sanitized my hands after every lab, though! Miz

  7. How difficult did you find pharmacology?

    Miz_Que replied to raydon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This past semester I took Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Human Growth and Development. I made an A in all three. I felt that Micro was the most difficult material to understand, but I spent more...

  8. Perfume allergy...what to do?

    Miz_Que replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    My mom has a similar problem, so I never wear perfume anymore. I am surprised you got yelled at for requesting that the transport worker not wear perfume. There are soooooo many people that have...

  9. Late career choice @ 35

    Miz_Que replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am almost 39 and am in my second semester of prereques. I was not the oldest in my Anatomy class last semester, but I am definitely the oldest in my Micro class! I have one more semester before I...

  10. RN babysiting gig gone south

    Miz_Que replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the state the babysitter was in, this is not necessarily illegal. In my state, there are no laws governing at what age a child can be left alone. Personally, I would never leave an eight...

  11. Money saving tips for students?

    Miz_Que replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    Stop buying cleaning products. I have been cleaning with vinegar, water, baking soda and tea tree oil for over a year. It saves a ton of money and I don't get a headache anymore when I clean. Word of...

  12. University of Texas Austin, AE MSN

    Miz_Que posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am applying to UT's AE MSN program and have started my personal statement. Unless I am not seeing it (which is entirely possible), I cannot find that there is any guidance on how long it should be....

  13. University of Texas Austin, AE MSN

    Miz_Que replied to Miz_Que's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Allison, Thank you for your reply! I have my final review and edit to do, but it is currently 1 page single spaced. It sounds like mine is about the same length as yours. I am going to to info...

  14. Help with body cavities?

    Miz_Que replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my anatomy class last semester, a lot of students brought their digital cameras to snap shots of the models. I never did this, but definitely was the odd one out. To the OP, do you have access to...

  15. Diet Sodas - bane of my existance

    Miz_Que replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Congratulations!! That is a difficult habit to kick. I bet you find you will lose weight. Asparatame is an appetite stimulant. I went from 6 Diet Cokes a day many years ago, to 3 full sugar Cokes...

  16. What do you think about this cover letter... Plz help...

    Miz_Que replied to mvb1221's topic in General Nursing

    Looks pretty good. I agree that it is a bit choppy. I would change: 1) The first sentence could read- As an RN with a BSN, I would love the opportunity... 2) The third and fourth sentences could be...

    Miz_Que replied to Miz_Que's topic in General Nursing

    Miz_Que posted a topic in General Nursing

    Miz_Que replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can always check the Texas Board of Nursing for information. The have a pdf file on their website that gives you the NCLEX pass rate for the last few years. That, at least, would give you an...
