  1. New nurse moving to Thailand

    MInurse.st replied to yokara's topic in International Nursing

    Kind of funny story I forgot to mention.. I was staying with a family in rural NE Thailand. Another student and were sleeping on the floor of the living room with a mosquito net, when all of a sudden...

  2. New nurse moving to Thailand

    MInurse.st replied to yokara's topic in International Nursing

    How exciting! I spent a semester abroad in Thailand 3 years ago. It was an amazing experience, and I would give anything to go back. If I were not going back to school for nursing, I would seriously...

  3. International Textbooks

    MInurse.st replied to escapebigd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my experience, international editions tend to be 1/2 or even 1/3 the price of the U.S.

  4. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    MInurse.st replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    i really think that nursel56 was suggesting that the op go into a nutrition related field more as an entrepreneur, ie. starting her own food service/delivery business for patients that require...

  5. International Textbooks

    MInurse.st replied to escapebigd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never ordered an international edition of a nursing textbook, but often ordered them for my classes when I was getting my first degree (mostly liberal arts classes, some science). I think the...

    MInurse.st replied to emt2lpn2's topic in General Nursing

  7. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    MInurse.st replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOVED Comparative Politics and American Government :redbeathe But you're right, not

  8. Issues with MMR requirement...

    MInurse.st replied to Halibel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you could try a health department in a different, but nearby county for the MMR titer or 2nd shot? It seems odd that your university health services wouldn't do the 2nd shot/titer for you just...

  9. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    MInurse.st replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, also the only B+ of my college career. So that might have something to do with my

  10. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    MInurse.st replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was a political science class also, Political Theory. It's been 4 years, and I still get bored thinking about

  11. Is this a 'safe' list?

    MInurse.st replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From personal experience, I think this is good advice.. Because every ABSN program seems to have different pre-reqs, I chose to focus on the pre-reqs required by my first choice program. This program...

  12. What Stethoscope do I purchase for nursing school?

    MInurse.st replied to luv2garden's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've starting an ABSN program this fall, and the students from the current class have been telling us to get the Littmann Classic II SE, which is about $70. If you get it from...

  13. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    MInurse.st replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    Although, I'm just a student, I would like to believe that you can find a rewarding career even though you don't adhere to the philosophy of Western medicine. Have you thought about research,...

  14. Would this look bad?

    MInurse.st replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated with my first BA, spent a year taking pre-reqs at a local community college, and this fall I'm going back to that same university for their ABSN program. Most students took the pre-reqs at...

  15. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    MInurse.st replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I can understand where you're coming from.. I did the CNA training through my school, but the test to become certified was almost $200, so I never actually became certified. Maybe look into tech...

  16. HELP!

    MInurse.st replied to BAMARN09's topic in General Nursing

    80% of the adult population has HPV. Just assume that you and all of your partners have it, because that's probably the case. It's likely that they both had it before getting together, it's possible...

  17. hep b shots

    MInurse.st replied to misty720's topic in General Students

    Definitely get a titer. After having the whole series, you shouldn't need a booster. See if your health department or university health service does

  18. Not enough money?

    MInurse.st replied to NurseMegh's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on your area, but for comparison.. I just started at a clinic as an MA (I don't have MA training, they're training me on the job) at $11/hr. It seems to me that you should be making...

  19. Moving out... on nothing?

    MInurse.st replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    I have lived on my own as a young adult for 6 years now (moved out right after high school), but I have to tell you, if it were feasible for me to live at home -- I would! I would rather be miserable...

  20. Never wanna work in a hospital- big deal, or no?

    MInurse.st replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    My school doesn't actually require hospital experience to apply to the nursing grad programs (many people apply while finishing up the BSN), but they do expect you be working as an RN once in the...

  21. Anatomy and Physiology before Chemistry

    MInurse.st replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was for me.. got a solid 98% in A&P without any chemistry first. Now that I've taken Organic Biochem, I still don't understand the necessity of taking chem before

  22. Pharmacology or Pathophysiology

    MInurse.st replied to Loves2learn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My pharm class did not include any patho review, as we were expected to already know this information. This could be different at your school, though, depending on whether patho is a pre-req for...

  23. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    MInurse.st replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not necessarily the same amount of time.. Where I live CCs have waitlists averaging 2 years. I would spend 2 years on the waitlist, then 2 years completing the ADN... Then still have to do an...

  24. LOANs... a good idea?

    MInurse.st replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone has the luxury of living with their parents rent-free.. Your comment about "poor people" is a pretty offensive, not to mention false,

  25. Just starting out (whats the best way to go about it)

    MInurse.st replied to Geo71oh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can relate.. there was not a time during my completing my first degree, a BA, or completing my year of pre-reqs for my ABSN program that I did not hold at least two jobs. Definitely check out state...
