    K_girl replied to Steveo.O's topic in General Students

    First off, I'm sorry that you received the letter! It is always disappointing especially when it's obvious that you worked so hard. Why do you believe that their decision may have been based on your...

  5. Friends don't understand ?

    K_girl replied to lindsayk728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree with Future. Part of being a successful student is learning to find a balance between school and life. Once you master it, it will make things so much easier. I don't believe in...

  9. Need to buy a new stethoscope! Any favorites?

    K_girl replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think you should try some out & pick the one best for you. I didnt jump on the Littmann bandwagon originally. I almost was going to get the cardiology III but ended up getting a WA Harvey Elite...

  10. Asking for a change of grade

    K_girl replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry that you feel that way. But I do think that they asked valid questions. Considering that you are in college, it should be known that you get the grade that you EARN and not just get the...

  11. Help!!! I need some info please!!!

    K_girl replied to FutureNurseDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If there are a lot of people majoring in nursing at your school, it may make it more difficult to get into. You will definitely want to do anything that will help raise your point score. 42 is right...

    K_girl replied to dedwardsissie's topic in General Students

    My school included the drug/background test with the tuition bill. There are a lot of out of pocket expenses so you may want to start saving up now! Here is my rundown for the 1st semester: 1200.00...

  13. Student Loan... how much?

    K_girl replied to mommy2raines's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are doing prereq's I would probably try to hold off on taking a lot out for student loans. Depending on what your work plans are during the actual nursing program you may need to take out...

  14. Which path to take to nursing???

    K_girl replied to caprisiosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got all but one of my require books from ebay or amazon. They were all about half off what the school was charging so I got lucky there. I ended up getting 2 steths...littmann & WA. The WA was...

  18. Background check and Drug Test Question

    K_girl replied to dedwardsissie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will need to file your fafsa if you havent done so already. There are some rules in regards to financial aid so I would check the FAFSA website to determine if you are eligible. But usually...

  19. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    K_girl replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I think 'suck it up' wasnt exactly appropriate I do believe they have a point. I think any position where you are going to be working with other people, any type of violence is always going to...

    K_girl replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Part time essentially means that you are not working 36-40 hrs/week (depending on what your facility considers full time). There is not a set minimum number of hours. I worked 32 hrs/wk at a...
