   Smile! replied to Smile!'s topic in Tennessee

   I've heard that some hospitals will help pay off student loans, etc. in exchange for x years of service. Is this a pretty common practice??

2. Nashville??

   Smile! replied to Smile!'s topic in Tennessee

   Hi, Eltrip! Thanks for your response!! I was starting to think I might not hear from anyone! :) I currently live in Smyrna and I've been knocking around this nursing thing for awhile but without much luck as far as a decision goes. Have a pretty go...

4. Has nursing always been your major?

   Smile! replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

   Wow! Except for the husband-in-the-military part, that ME!! How did you know for CERTAIN nursing was best for you??

5. Teaching Hospitals??

   Smile! replied to Smile!'s topic in General Students

   Ah...Is it better to try to work in a teaching hospital when you first graduate or, at that point, does it really matter??

6. Teaching Hospitals??

   Smile! posted a topic in General Students

   Hi, All! Happy Friday! Probably a silly question but what's the difference in a 'teaching' hospital and a typical hospital?? And how can you tell if a hospital is one or the other?? Thx! S

   I have NO idea but if you find out anything, please pass it along! I live just outside of Nashville and that's right up my alley! What region are you planning to move to??

8. OMG! It's finally hit me...

   Smile! replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

   Wow! Wonders never cease! I haven't even been accepted into a PROGRAM yet (trying to finish up my pre-req's...almost there!) and I'm already second-guessing my decision. That's why I like coming here to this site...kinda gives me a boost when I need ...

9. Clinicals/FT Job

   Smile! replied to Smile!'s topic in General Students

   It'd be great if my job would help ME out but, by going to nursing school, this means I'm going to eventually leave them and they aren't going to be very happy. Unnecessary drama.

10. Clinicals/FT Job

    Smile! replied to Smile!'s topic in General Students

    Thought you were gonna say that! Hubby's great and behind me all the way but I feel kinda bad. I mean, he's going to have to sacrifice some things for me to be able to do this (especially if I do it well) and I guess I'm just feeling a little guilty.

12. Clinicals/FT Job

    Smile! posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, all! Happy Thursday! I'm trying to get everything in order to (hopefully) enter the nursing program (ADN) and had a question about clinicals. At what point did you actually begin taking them and will it be possible to keep the job that I have no...

    Thanks, Gompers. I was HOPING you'd say something like that. :)

14. First Semester of Nursing School

    Smile! replied to fssmith's topic in General Students

    No one is pulling your leg. Nursing school is tough from start to finish. Studying for tests with poorly written questions and four correct answers to choose from coincides with deadlines for completed care plans and don't forget those papers in APA ...

15. paralyzing epidural

    Smile! replied to CVnurse08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is sorta 'off topic,' Gompers, but I'm trying to get into nursing as we speak and I've been wondering if my height would put me at a disadvantage. What's your experience been?? If you don't mind my asking. :)
