  2. I envy you

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

    I think I posted in one of your previous threads. I have a BS/MS in Computer Science and I'm a woman. Honestly, as a woman, sometimes working in a male dominated field is hard, sometimes it is easy....

  7. Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

    leenak replied to babymidwife1's topic in Post Graduate Students

  8. anyone leave high paying 1st career?

    leenak replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

  9. Do I have a better chance getting into nursing school by applying to 10 schools?

    leenak replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in General Nursing

    Where I'm at, there are tons of schools offering ABSN/second degree BSN programs within an hour drive. I initially put them all on my list and was planning on working pre-reqs that would cover all of...

  11. Should I take a salary cut?

    leenak replied to Mom2SweetPea's topic in General Nursing

    Is it really, really what you want to do? I've noticed many posts lately that seem to indicate that the job market for LPNs is worse than for RNs at this point. The question isn't really as much as...

    leenak replied to dedwardsissie's topic in General Students

  14. Can't decide

    leenak replied to syk0477's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UCs are just generally more selective but nursing programs are different. Other programs admit people into their majors expecting people will drop out. Nursing wants to know you have a high chance...

  15. Areas of nursing

    leenak replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    I'm no where near starting nursing school yet but I have to admit babies kind of scare me so L&d is definitely on the bottom of my list. I'm interested in public health and psych. Lately, I've...

    leenak replied to tonicareer's topic in General Students

    I don't work in nursing right now but I work in technology field and have had coworkers that have been legally blind as well as deaf. For the most part, they fit in seamlessly. It is amazing the...

  17. Questions on nursing schools and programs to take

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

    I have a previous BS and if it didn't cost me $30k to get that. I would say spend your time (2-3 years) and get the ADN or if you can, the BSN. You will be in a much better place creerwise if those...

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

  20. Telling your boss you're going to nursing school....

    leenak replied to Ellis02136's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a good working relationship with your boss? I plan to ask my boss for a letter of recommendation 6 to 9 months before going to school but then again I plan to quit work to go to school....

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

    Can you work at school? When I was in undergrad full time, I worked 20 hours per week at the school. During school breaks, I'd increase that to 40 hours per week. Right now, I work 40 to 50 hours...

    leenak replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm glad to find this thread. There definitely seems to be a lack of JH threads on this site unless they are hiding. Someone at the beginning of the thread said you needed 2 years of chem for...

  23. My standards have SLIPPED (understatement)

    leenak replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

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

    From accounts I've heard first hand and those on these boards, CA seems to be the most competitive place for nursing right now. You'd have to ask the schools you are interested in and I'm sure some...

    leenak replied to faint.perfection's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
