  1. St Margaret SON Feb 2011 start?

    PghRN30 replied to PghRN30's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Is that just the tuition, or the total cost including books, supplys and uniform estimates? If that is just tuition, that is a big jump, if it is the including books ans supplys and uniforms, it...

    PghRN30 replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

    I study just about anywhere. It is just WHAT i study varies based on where I am and the nature of my surroundings. Study in school cafeteria/student lounge/library, at home either at the dining room...

  3. Best way to take notes and study

    PghRN30 replied to kbm318's topic in General Students

    For me it has varied. For classes that had power points avalable, I have always printed them out, usually 3 or 4 to a page, depending on the teachers teaching style, and how I would take notes alonge...

  8. St Margaret SON Feb 2011 start?

    PghRN30 replied to PghRN30's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Ok, the way it works is you sign up (don't have to worry about it until after preaddmission day)....and they reduce your tuition bill. We have to pay 5000 toward the tuition. Split that up over 6...

  10. Nursing School Must Haves??

    PghRN30 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    It might be worth double checking with your instructors about if/when you will be able to use it during your program. I know many on here have talked about having them for using during clinicals,...

  11. Students with young kids...how are you handling it?

    PghRN30 replied to brittanywatson's topic in General Students

  12. St Margaret SON Feb 2011 start?

    PghRN30 replied to PghRN30's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  14. Nursing school interview - tell them I'm Pregnant?

    PghRN30 replied to RockRay's topic in General Students

    I would say that since you will not be pregnant during nursing school, and so would need no accomidations made due to being pregnant (lifting restrictions/other physical limitations) or have to worry...

  15. Can nurses have facial piercings?

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

    My school facial piercings are not allowed. Women are allowed to have non dangling ear piercings, (I can not remeber if it is only 1 per ear or if 2 per ear are allowed). Is a professional thing more...

  16. Hepatitis B and Employment

    PghRN30 replied to nursestudent101's topic in General Students

    I just went for my uniform fitting last week.....all white scrubs. And it is not like we can just get whatever brand we want. The school has 2 specific pants for women to choose from, and one top....

  18. How hard is Psy 101 online

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

    Quite honestly talk to someone that took it online at YOUR school with the instructor you will. Psy 101 is a pretty easy class. However it all comes down to the instructor and how they choose to...

  20. St Margaret SON Feb 2011 start?

    PghRN30 replied to PghRN30's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  21. I am lost...

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

    What I was saying why get your BS in biology degree at all. Why not just switch to a BSN program. A BSN is a BS degree in Nursing. To be a RN you have to take the NCLEX-RN licensing test. To be...

  22. I am lost...

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

    Really you probably should step back at your plans. If nursing is REALLY what you want to do, why finish a degree you are not going to use and accumulate that debt before getting a nursing degree....

    PghRN30 replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course I didnt figure this out until halfway through A&P 2 when we were doing veins/arteries, but the easiest way for me to memorize anatomy is filling out the diagrams, over and over and over...
