  1. Conversation starter...what are your nursing career goals?

    bonn_bai replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Students

    I want to do ICU and geriatrics. I also want to do medical missions. Goals are RN, then BSN, then MSN or PhD. Possibly would like to do some research, if I could still practice as a nurse

  2. career question

    bonn_bai replied to frisco96's topic in General Nursing

    It's a whole lot easier to get a different job when you HAVE a job - so you will probably increase your chances of getting a job you really want by taking the psych job. It's not fair and truly it's...

  3. How to beat the freshman 15!

    bonn_bai replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, 1200 is too low for maintenance, but it's a great number for weight loss. I think it's what they do on the Biggest Loser. Say you normally eat 2000 calories a day, that's potentially a loss of...

  4. How to beat the freshman 15!

    bonn_bai replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's great advice toykoROSE. The only thing I would add is beware of random eating - eating when you are bored, just sitting around, or eating because you failed a test, or eating because of _____...

  5. Need some advice, going back to school for nursing

    bonn_bai replied to sstewart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just my two cents, it is NEVER worth it to rack up a bunch of debt for school. No way! You should not be saddled with all that when you are trying to "start" your life - buying cars and houses, etc....

  6. Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

    bonn_bai replied to GtownhoyasDC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    haha, i was wondering if he meant clam too or if "calm" was some new slang or somethin'

  7. Overweight Nurse?

    bonn_bai replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Birth control doesn't cause PCOS - endocrine imbalances do. Have you ever noticed that most women with PCOS are overweight (I'm not saying ALL, but MOST)? And yet massive numbers of females take...

  8. career change!

    bonn_bai replied to kristieneedshelp's topic in Nursing Career

    Why not try for an ADN? They are only a little longer than LPN programs and then you could do an RN-BSN program. If you retook your sciences and did well you probably wouldn't have any issues...

  9. Overweight Nurse?

    bonn_bai replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to cure PCOS, cut out ALL sugar. That's the first and most effective step to take. PCOS is more and more being attributed to pre-diabetes and insulin issues (which is why Metformin is...

  10. Pre req. english class

    bonn_bai replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That Guy - I agree with you. Turning the exact same paper in would not only be lazy, but

  11. Pre req. english class

    bonn_bai replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's interesting to see that some people think it would be plagiarism. Technically plagiarism is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of...

  12. Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

    bonn_bai replied to GtownhoyasDC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We should all be open to people proving they are not drama queens - both guys and girls. To preconceive an individual will act a certain way is wrong, but at the same time to act like general...

  13. Jefferson State Com. College: St. Vincent's Night & Weekend RN track (PT)

    bonn_bai replied to MrsHelmsHamilton's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Cool. Maybe we will be in the same class next year then. I'll definitely sit down with an advisor this

  14. What are health related programs that are < competitive than Nursing ? Need a career!

    bonn_bai replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    As with the above poster, I would be doubtful that assistants or techs make $50k+ per year without many many years of experience. I could be wrong, I just don't think they make as much as nursing....

  15. Pre req. english class

    bonn_bai replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it wouldn't be plagiarizing. It's your work. A different professor may not assign the same work, though, so you may wind up writing totally new stuff. If not you could just spruce up your...

  16. Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

    bonn_bai replied to GtownhoyasDC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have also heard that girl/women-only classes/schools show girls doing much better academically, especially in math and science classes. "Unique challenges" - that is a good way of putting it. We...

  17. Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

    bonn_bai replied to GtownhoyasDC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another one here...working with other women tends to suck big time. I've thought about that quite a lot - why would I do this to myself?! But in the end I'm hoping that nursing is a job I can just...

  18. Jefferson State Com. College: St. Vincent's Night & Weekend RN track (PT)

    bonn_bai replied to MrsHelmsHamilton's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Wow, 90? Well that's good news. One of the non-nursing advisors told me when I signed up for my summer class that they only accepted 35 to the part-time program. Yea, I may go sit with an advisor....

  19. I need advice on which program to pursue

    bonn_bai replied to serenityangel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great reply by llg. I would say take the most practical route, whatever that is. For me, that's ADN first, then ADN-BSN. The ADN is vastly cheaper and the program where I live is good. It puts me...

  20. Preparing for Anatomy/Physiology 2

    bonn_bai replied to johnny depp23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was one of a few people in my A&P 1 class to get an A. From my perspective, I will say, I think there were people in my class who struggled because they didn't study enough, but there were also...

  21. Jefferson State Com. College: St. Vincent's Night & Weekend RN track (PT)

    bonn_bai replied to MrsHelmsHamilton's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The classes are held at both the Shelby campus and St. Vincent's. I am hoping to apply for Fall 2011. An advisor told me they only admit 35 students per year to this program. And the points cutoff...
