  4. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    PghRN30 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes......if you disallow people for smoking, then you have to consider ANY other health habits. Should anyone that is overweight be not allowed, or that doesn't eat healthy, or that drinks alcohol...

    PghRN30 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Do bring proof of your prescription with you. Though I do hope for you that they are just wanting to discuss things and find out what is going on with you. As a nurse (and nursing student) you do...

  10. students who don't seem to study and do so well

    PghRN30 replied to italy's topic in General Students

    There is a difference between "studying" and LEARNING. Many people do learn without studing much or at all. Quite honestly, it is a matter of knowing HOW you learn best and HOW and WHEN to put extra...

  11. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    PghRN30 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PghRN30 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eh.....its annoying that they may take up space ahead of you on the wait list, beyond that, dont worry bout them. If they find everything to be gross, they will be in for a huge wake up call when...

    PghRN30 replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Really? I want to know where that free money you are talking about comes from. I'm a single mom and haven't seen it. I do get the state and federal grants, but everyone i know that is an independent...

  14. annoying 'friends' in nsg school

    PghRN30 replied to peaceee2010's topic in General Students

    1. txting is her own loss...she misses material and that is probably at least part of why she barely passed last semester. Next time before class starts make a point to tell her "DO NOT ask me...

  15. My day in the ER... (vent)

    PghRN30 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    I would say to make sure your instructer knew about how your clinical assignement went, that way there would be understanding as to why you didnt get any experience she may have expected that you...

  19. Hippa email concern - Is it a violation?

    PghRN30 replied to laney_'s topic in General Nursing

    PghRN30 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

  22. glossary terms

    PghRN30 replied to ofcruz's topic in General Students

    Flash cards are a good way to study terms. Hand write them and even just the process of making them may help you remeber many of them. Definitly paraphrasing the deffinition and putting it into...

    PghRN30 replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

  25. St Margaret SON Feb 2011 start?

    PghRN30 replied to PghRN30's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah the loan forgiveness for us works out to be a little over 10,000 because our tuition is a little over 15,000 and we have to pay 5,000 of it. Is it flat out an even $8000? If so sounds like...
