  1. Well, No Nursing for Me

    peas&carrots replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I think it's a shame you are choosing not to follow a career path just because of an exit exam. If you know your stuff and have made it through the program than you should have no problem. I have the...

  2. NS not providing any advanced info? Panicking!

    peas&carrots replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    We have spent the first day of every class going over the syllabus and just getting a bunch of good advice about succeeding in this program. Every class I've ever been in has done it this way. I think...

  3. What are Nursing Implications?

    peas&carrots replied to sbgrace's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can you talk at all about how it would affect a nurse personally based on their beliefs? Working in a pharmacy we (as employees not the pharmacy itself) have the right to not sell it if we so choose....

  4. Studying pharm before nursing school?

    peas&carrots replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

    I think it would be a great idea to just look at a pharmacy $4 dollar list like the one where I work. The online version gives you a broad description of what class each drug is in. It kind of gives...

  5. for new nursing students

    peas&carrots replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    My health department gives the 2-step TB test for free if you live in the county. Each of the 3 shots for Hep B are $40 and a tetorifice shot is $30. My doctor's office is doing my titers for me and...

  6. Really is flomax that expensive?

    peas&carrots replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Tamsulosin is a new generic so the price difference isn't as much as a lot of generic vs. brand name drugs. As someone has stated before it's the coverage gap (donut hole) that usually causes patients...

  7. Do you see yourself retiring from nursing, or will you change professions?

    peas&carrots replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Someday I want to finish my biology degree and work at a zoo. As interesting and exciting as I find all things related to nursing my dream has always been to be a zoologist. So I will work as a nurse...

  8. UHGGGG!!!! DOCTORS!!!

    peas&carrots replied to livinthedreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet but I do work in a pharmacy. The scripts I see sometimes are crazy. I think it should be a law that all scripts are typed out. The worst I've seen was a script that all you could...

  9. Work Contracts with Hospitals for Tuition?

    peas&carrots replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    An update on this subject....I got the scholarship! I am so excited and the idea of going to school without worrying about money is incredible. I definitely think it is worth it to jump through all...

  10. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    peas&carrots replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    You should be able to get a customer statement of your prescription history from any pharmacy by just walking in to the store. They are all linked and just because you have filled it in another state...

  11. did i just ruin my career at 21

    peas&carrots replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I was actually inquiring about why the length of her degree would take 2 years not judging the choice. All the adn-bsn programs that I have looked at don't have enough credits to equal 2 more years....

  12. Lunch?

    peas&carrots replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the info on the Camelbak. I didn't even think about buying the sleeve to put on the bottle. I love ice water but I hate the sweating part. They have cute colors/patterns to choose...

  13. did i just ruin my career at 21

    peas&carrots replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why it would take 2 years after getting your ADN to get your BSN. You can do that online while you work. Is it a special

  14. Anatomy....................Anatomy................ .....Anatomy :) Advice, please!

    peas&carrots replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Students

    I just had to memorize,memorize and then memorize some more. If your practical tests use the plastic figures than the more time you get with those the better. Your learning lab or where ever your...

  15. Lunch?

    peas&carrots replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Talking about water bottles I have been looking for a specific kind forever. I like the bottles where the top flips up and you can just sip on it (straw in the bottle). The problem is I cannot find a...

  16. Wondering if anyone else is feeling this?

    peas&carrots replied to brittany_micah's topic in General Students

    Green tea tablet every morning but if you are trying to get away with no caffeine they aren't the way to go. I actually starting taking them to try to naturally help my blood pressure. It's a...

  17. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    peas&carrots replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree that childish tops on an adult floor seem inappropriate. I don't think you have to have teddy bears or disney characters on your scrubs to make people happy. I just don't think it's very...

  18. Best teacher or professor you have had and why?

    peas&carrots replied to katebean04's topic in General Students

    I don't start the nursing program till August but my favorite teacher so far has been my Calculus teacher. I have never seen a teacher go more out of her way for students than she did. Every semester...

  19. Work Contracts with Hospitals for Tuition?

    peas&carrots replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    I am going to go for an interview this coming week for this exact set up. For me it is the best option because I don't qualify for financial aid through my college. The hospital system I am applying...

  20. Working as lpn while doing adn program?

    peas&carrots replied to peas&carrots's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm so glad to hear that it would be a good idea to get that experience and the income would really help with school expenses. I want to give myself every advantage that I can and you all have really...

  21. Interviewing for scholarship to pay for nursing school...

    peas&carrots replied to peas&carrots's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks so much for the advice. I was thinking so much about what they were going to ask me I never thought about what I might want to ask them.

  22. Interviewing for scholarship to pay for nursing school...

    peas&carrots posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    and I need advice. It's a program where they pay for your schooling and for every year they do so you have to work for them. If anyone has had interviews like this and can give me some advice I would...

  23. On vacation..can't stop studying!

    peas&carrots replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I'm so jealous....we don't have "official" registration until a week before school starts. So no idea what books I need or how much my tuition is. Really doesn't seem to be in the best interest of the...

  24. I feel like I'm "cheating" on nursing for asking this...

    peas&carrots replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    It makes me sad to hear money brought up as a reason to become a doctor. I just got done going to school with a guy that would have made a brilliant doctor and decided not to just because the amount...

  25. Failed, I need some advice!

    peas&carrots replied to kindofageek's topic in General Students

    I don't get where you are getting 5 years to get your BSN if you go the LPN route. I agree with the above poster that this would be your best bet if you really want to be a nurse. You put in the 2...
