  1. nursing school help please?! :)

    leenak replied to jaseyraaeex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to apply to private schools as well. It has been a few years (ahem) since I entered undergrad but I started out at a private school. They provided me with a bunch of grants and...

  2. nursing school help please?! :)

    leenak replied to jaseyraaeex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about schools in NY but I'm sure Google can help you out there. Have you started any of the pre-reqs for a nursing program? Common courses are: Anatomy & Physiology (1 & 2)...

  3. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The grants with PP were existing grants as well and the policy seemed to say 'under investigation' not on its merits. If SGK wanted to tell PP specifically that they didn't want to fund them because...

  4. Patient and hopeful, please help!

    leenak replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So what happens if you don't get into a PA program? Unless you have a burning desire to be a PA, I'm not sure about the feasibility of your plan. I'd definitely look at adding a few more pre-reqs...

  5. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Besides all the supposedly trusted sources within SGK that said the rule was specifically to defund PP, SGK was funding other organizations that are under investigation. Like Penn State. I've...

  6. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think it is political bullying to say 'hey an organization that promised a grant changed their policies so that we couldn't receive that grant any further'. SGK relies on donations from those...

  7. Swearing: hugely unprofessional, mildly irritating or a normal part of speech.

    leenak replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I work in a Corporate environment right now. I used to cuss a lot when I was in my early 20s but as I advanced in my degree and entered into the job market, I pretty much stopped cussing. I may do...

  8. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Compared to where I live, Baltimore is looking pretty cheap. My husband and I are hoping to find a townhome with a small yard for $1700/month or less. I'll definitely look in Canton but not sure if...

  9. Accelerated BSN programs for those with no degree.

    leenak replied to DarkLotus's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the schools I've seen are 4 semesters long but they usually include a summer break which is why it is longer than the ABSN programs. University of Maryland is one specifically that I can...

  10. I don't want night shifts

    leenak replied to Phillip1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me, the experience is more important than the shift. If I was offered a job that I really wanted to do and it was nights vs a job that wasn't as interesting but days, I'd take the night

  11. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    URHopeful - I love Maryland as a state although I don't have too much familiarity with Baltimore itself. Patapsco state park is one of our favorite hiking spots and isn't far from Baltimore. If...

  12. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I went to the open house, I took my husband and I noticed a few other students brought their parents. I really wanted my husband to see it for the open house but I wouldn't take him for the new...

  13. No Motivation to Study! Help!

    leenak replied to roemerr's topic in General Students

    I had a fast paced semester last semester but I only have 2 pre-reqs left and hoping to get into the school I applied to for the fall. So I'm taking 1 class now (AP1) and then one in the summer...

  14. "Free" books & CD programs online

    leenak replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    Depending on the format, you should make sure you have a solid anti-virus on your system and keep it updated. I used to know quite a few people who would embed certain things into such files and...

  15. Attending school in So. CA or elsewhere then working in CA?

    leenak posted a topic in California Nursing

    Jobs are tough everywhere, that is a given. California has always had somewhat of on odd economy. I currently live on the East Coast but I'm looking to relocating back to Southern California and...

  16. Anyone else in limbo?

    leenak replied to girlswcurls's topic in General Students

    I applied to one school that is very competitive so... I plan to apply to other schools as well if I don't get in but also trying to figure out other life options that may put off nursing school for a...

  17. Most beneficial degree when applying for PA program?

    leenak replied to NurseLCoop's topic in General Students

    Your best option would probably be to do a RN-BSN program. That way you could go to a NP program or a PA

  18. Extracurriculars for Accelerated BSN programs

    leenak replied to foodie28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about a ADN at a community

  19. Should I go into nursing or another field related?

    leenak replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend who is working to become a dietician and she loves it. If that is what you want to do, I say go for it. Life is too short to go into a career you don't

  20. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

    leenak replied to TESC'10's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I interviewed 2 weeks ago. It sounds like the Summer entry people are getting notified so I'm hoping we will get notified shortly

  21. Extracurriculars for Accelerated BSN programs

    leenak replied to foodie28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are a freshman, why not just go directly for your BSN? You can transfer into a school. It'd be a lot cheaper plus it'd take a lot less

  22. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey that brings up a good question, I wonder when each of the classes graduate. They say the Fall accelerated is 17 months and the Summer accelerated is 13 months. I figured that the Fall...

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats!! Hopefully this means that us Fall entry applicants will hear sometime soon. I'm

  24. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are so right. They are quick to find fault with the current system in place but not quick to provide alternative solutions. I think women should have access to safe abortions but if there were...

  25. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    On the planned parenthood side, the one thing good coming out of this is that the support for pp is overflowing. I think they have already said that they have raised more money in the last couple...
