  3. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

    Which courses? The nursing should transfer unless there's some accredation issue, or you are taking then from a for-profit like ITT and are tyring to transfer those to a college. For gen-ed, tell...
  4. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

  9. What to buy/read before starting nursing school!

    My school had us buy the sixth edition of this book: NURSING TODAY: TRANSITION & TRENDS ( ZERWEKH). I wondered why, at first, but in Nursing I they actually used it a lot for definitions of...

    dietitian or nutritionist or NP whomever does that for kids, since this is a lipids storage disorder?
  11. Student Expenses

    The school has a drop-dead date of when those results have to be at the school, else you can't start the program. So, how long does it take your state to get that sent to the school, and that tells...
  12. $$ for nursing students?

    I asked him for some, but he made some lame excuse about leaving his wallet in his other pants, lol. Aside from special-interest scholarships, and standard student financial aid, about the only other...
  13. Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    I feel your pain. I passed this semester, and it's more work than I have ever done for a final grade of B. I had 8 to 10 classmates who were failed out of the program by a very difficult and...
  18. I feel like quitting...

    Well, the husband and kids need to change and start doing more for themselves. Things won't be much different once you go to work, will they? You won't be home all the time, and you may very likely...
  19. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

    Oh, and I don't understand why you are concerned about the sexual harassment, though. Let 'em, let 'em. Let 'em take it into the workplace and the classroom, and then get busted whenever med...
