  1. Family...my OWN family...discourages me from nursing...

    kristin6727 replied to Jc1982's topic in General Students

    Sounds to me as though they are jealous. They do not want to see you suceed and do good. Also, seeing that your mom is a nurse, they may be jealous in that way because now you and your mother are...

  2. BS In Nursing vs. LPN to RN to BSN

    kristin6727 replied to pjharrelson's topic in General Students

    I looked into doing LPN first and then going on to do the RN, but I found it was a complete waste of time. Yes it is only a 1 year program, but where I am going, the RN is a 2-year program, and if...

  3. Private Student Loans...

    kristin6727 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I would fill out the FAFSA because you may get some money. I never would have thought that I would have ever received money from the government because me and my husband do pretty well. I just...

  4. New or older addition books

    kristin6727 replied to kristin6727's topic in General Students

    So far for my prereqs I have bought all older editions, and I never found a problem. Some of the teachers would even encourage us to save money and buy the older editions. I have a friend in the...

    kristin6727 posted a topic in General Students

  7. Are there any mothers attending a part time program?

    kristin6727 replied to Lola34's topic in General Students

    I started my prereqs 2 years ago and for 4 semesters I took 2 classes at a time. I went to school 1 night a week. When I started my kids were 5, 3 and 10 months. It was very doable. I received all...

  8. CNA while in school

    kristin6727 replied to jm08168's topic in General Students

    I have worked in a nursing home and I saw what CNAs do. I honestly think it would scare you away from being a nurse. They get the dirtiest, most disgusting jobs. I would never do it. I would try...

  9. What should we be buying?

    kristin6727 replied to charitynaf's topic in General Students

    I would wait until your orientation. They will tell you everything. I had mine a few weeks back and they told us everything we needed for our uniform, and where to get them. Some places give...

  10. Low GPA...Getting accepted

    kristin6727 replied to cljonesfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. If your teacher gets her tests directly off the Internet...

    kristin6727 replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    I would study it. I mean, if it is on the internet for all to see, that is the teachers fault. I would also read all the reading material so I knew everything for myself. I mean if you just go...

  12. Stuck... waiting (small vent)

    kristin6727 replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    My school does not even send out denial letters. I had applied for last semester, fully expecting to get in because my grades were great, and never heard anything. My friend got her acceptance...

    kristin6727 posted a topic in New York Nursing
