  1. Eating their young?

    I know this has been discussed here several times and I thought I would add my opinion. I am currently in a program that has class and clinical all year. It is a great program that allows you to earn your BSN on a part time basis, (2-3 days a week). ...
  2. Eating their young?

    I really don't care what you believe, especially calling me a troll.
  3. Looking forward to med-surg

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to say I am looking forward to med-surg. I have a little while to go, I am only in my second year of college. I spent time shadowing a lot of nurses and decided that when I graduate med-surg is for me. Out of all the spe...

  7. Sad, need to vent

    I put my five year old son to sleep and he asked me about my old job. I asked him why he was interested, then my heart broke. He put his lip out and started to tear and told me he missed playing with me. I am in my second year of nursing school, curr...

  10. Too many know it "allnurses"

    If may be this forward, it is Nurses such as your self that inspired me to become a nurse. (I am not a nurse yet...still a student) Though it was a tragic event that led me down this path, it was people with real feelings and frustrations, and intell...
  11. The program can be really competitive. (I think there are 50-55 seats for each freshman class.) Most of the staff are concerned to some degree and will help a student who asks. I am finishing up my first year in a few weeks, so if you have any questi...
  12. There are lots of students who commute. Wilkes-Barre area is close and can be reasonable. Check Wilkes-Barre, Plains, Kingston. I live in Scranton so it is a decent drive for me. (35 min) But I have a house, wife, kids. Hope this helps. I really like...
  13. Housing can be a little limited around the University. (unless you dorm on campus) If you get an apartment in the towns near the University things open up quite a bit. They can be reasonable. Let me know if you need anything, good luck. I almost forg...
  14. I am in their full time traditional nursing program. I'm not that far along and everything I heard has been positive. The little that I have seen has been great. I am an adult student and was a little concerned taking the traditional route but they h...
  15. California nurses and medical marijuana

    I just watched a story on the news a couple of days ago concerning something similar. According to the news, this issue was challenged in court in a few States. The court ruled that someone can be fired for testing positive for marijuana even if it ...
  16. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I believe in evil spirits as well.
  17. I really did not have to convince my wife. While going to a Christmas party three years ago she was struck by a car crossing the street. For several months after the accident, she was in the ICU, stepdown, nursing home, home health comming to the hou...
  18. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    That was creepy. Lets hear some more.
  19. Am I too old to go back to school?

    It can be done. I am a 37 year old student in a full time traditional BSN program. I have two children and it can be challenging at times, but it is worth it.
  20. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I am a nursing student so this is not a nursing ghost story, but, it is pretty creepy. When I was a teenager, I spent the night at a friends house. It started off as a typical night until his little sister came up and kicked me. I asked her why and s...
  21. I am in Nursing because.....

    I am currently a Nursing student and I have to admit I am one of those people who had a "calling". Two days before Christmas 2007 as my wife and I were crossing the street a drunk driver ran her over, literally ripped her out of my hands. She was giv...
