  1. Casting Nurses for the Walking Dead

    Streamline2010 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I heard that nursing students were approached first, but they declined, saying they had absolutely no free time available.

  2. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    WOW! I never even thought of trying that! That might be a good option for a bright person who has no prior college coursework to knock those gen-eds out of the way. I am going to copy that and...

  3. What kind of money does a nurse REALLY make?

    Streamline2010 replied to oldeddieboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pennsylvania government statistics for 2009 or maybe it was 2010 said that the average RN earns $63,000 / year. Starting pay here is about $22/hr. Average LPN pay was around $42,000/year....

  4. I have to choose between being a nurse or mother!

    Streamline2010 replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to nursing school. Two children are enough. Really. You might not think so now, but they are more demanding, more financial burden, and require more supervision to stay on the right track as...

  5. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

    ^^ Take note of that. Some people just get fed up and leave, because compared to the business and professional world, there are aspects of the nursing schools (and the workplace, too) that are...

  6. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I don't know what state offers $9000. Not in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or WV. In WV in 2005, the limit was $3000/year. In PA in 2009-2001, it was only $4000, and I'm not sure whether that was a total...

  7. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Some of the other students got their CNAs and worked weekends as CNA and went to RN school during the

  8. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Lost my career after a corporate buyout and subsequent closure of manufacturing facilities and elimination of the corporate engineering and research and development departments. Because it was a job...

  9. Why do they give so much ridiculous, insignificant homework?????

    Streamline2010 replied to Overwhelmed1026's topic in General Students

    imo, the EMPLOYERS aren't demanding enough of the nursing schools. If the students complain or petition or otherwise ask for change, RN schools just tell them to stop whining, take personal...

  10. Why get my BSN?

    Streamline2010 replied to KatieJ91's topic in General Students

    Magnet hospitals hire all BSRN. And make current RNs get a BSRN to keep a job. Urban areas with access to many colleges and universities have a glut of applicants and are only hiring BSRN, for the...

  11. Never live with a fellow student!

    Streamline2010 replied to missk88's topic in General Students

    Just say No to the recorder. Tell her you're though with lending that to her and she needs to go to class becuse sitting for the NCLEX requires a certain numbre of hours of classroom instruction....

  12. What is happening?

    Streamline2010 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    Answering the original post: I also think you are spread too thin and are only superficially covering the material. I did that same thing (tried to read/do it all) and by Nursing IV I was burned...

  13. Am i studying enough?

    Streamline2010 replied to dayanara's topic in General Students

    You might be "just lucky" in that you have the aptitude for it, and the interest, and thus, it's easy for you. You might also have some really top-quality instructors who are making it very efficient...

  14. Humanities help needed.

    Streamline2010 replied to dltorres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Online and not so demanding: Try Rio Salado / Maricopa online. They offer lots of college classes online. You pick the all-online format, and just plug along though it. The classes last either 12...

  15. They make nursing school much harder than it needs to be

    Streamline2010 replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I think one of the big flaws in RN ed is that it makes you apply"critical thinking" (I will spit in the eye of anyone who utters that term within 2' of me, I promise) BEFORE they have properly trained...

  16. I hate nursing exams

    Streamline2010 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    Perhaps nursebet's particular school simply is doing a lousy job of making it clear how those questions DO tie to "the nursing process." Science and tech people expect instructors to know their...

  17. WVU Parkersburg AD RN

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    WVU Parkersburg AD RN -- Is anyone enrolled there, or planning to go there? I applied for Fall 2010, and they said letters go out this month. One person said within 2 weeks and another said by...

  18. Geez...they're dropping like flies!

    Streamline2010 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    you know what? i keep reading / hearing numbers like that, here and in real life. i wonder if some of this isn't very deliberate on the part of the schools, simply because the schools are flooded...

  19. Finding referances for my Nursing intervention rationals.

    Streamline2010 replied to special86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is the lind of stuff that sent me into orbit before I quit RN school. If the school wants students to ref books pub'd only within the past 5 years, then buy those books and put them in the...

  20. 1 year out, no job. Throw in the towel?

    Streamline2010 replied to simply_viki's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As of 2010, Pennsylvania would permit this, but you'd get CNS or LPN pay, of course. I'm not sure about job duties and whether or not the employer could ask or require you to do RN's work that LPN or...

  21. Ultrasound tech/nurse, can you have facial piercings/tattoos?

    Streamline2010 replied to Ashley Davis's topic in General Students

    Holy carp. I need to buy stock in what is it, Dermablend? Tatts and piercings are just a bad idea because they are so permanent, but styles and fads and public opinion are not. Maintain your body...

  22. Poor nurse role models.. is this what I have to look forward to?

    Streamline2010 replied to Jane says's topic in General Nursing

    I think with age and work experience, you'll learn to read people and you won't be so shocked or put off by less than desirable behavior, because reacting to harmless but stupid stuff just takes too...

  23. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    Streamline2010 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Cost and new-grad employment data from a more "neutral" source than the schools: The government. Most states have a WIA (Workforce Investment Act) and / TRA (Trade Act) approved training provider...

  24. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    Streamline2010 replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All I can say is Wow, that's dismal news for LPNs, and for people who need to quickly and affordably retrain after their first career was lost to foreign

  25. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    Streamline2010 replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SearchByOccupation and search gives costs for the LPN programs that are on the NJ provider list. Other states have similar WIA training provider
