  1. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    TC3200 replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    In Spring 2008, I paid $2010 tuition and fees plus about $360 for books to a Penn State branch campus for just one 4-credit Microbiology with lab. But, they gave us free parking. That was...

  2. Nursing programs that take low gpa students

    TC3200 replied to AlexisBloomquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.washingtonhospital.org/schools/nursing/ 28 months if you have no college. 24 months year 'round for just the nursing. If you have a BS/BA degree, you don't take the NLN PAX. If you have...

  3. Which school in Pittsburgh? RN or BSN?

    TC3200 replied to ClaudiaKishi's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    A student who was at Mercy and switched to Washington Hospital said Mercy is teaching a block curriculum but allows you no free time to do anything but nursing school. She said avoid Mercy if you...

  4. Need major help regarding nursing math, unique circumstance

    TC3200 replied to Nat706's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One of those G.E.D. Math Review books might help you, too. (GED stands for General Equivalency Diploma or something like that. It's supposed to be the equivalent of a high school diploma in the...

  5. How to NOT gain weight in Nursing School??

    TC3200 replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

    ROTFL at this thread. I think it's a very valid concern. From what I've seen of it in 1.5 terms, nursing school is one of the most unhealthy academic programs on the face of the USA's portion of...

  6. Best online site to buy scrubs and stethoscope?

    TC3200 replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you buy at a local store, most will give you a 15% or so student discount, and some do 20%. Compare prices and see if local may actually be lower cost than online. Here, if the local store...

  7. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    TC3200 replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    one other comment about seemingly jaded veterans of any career, not just nursing: trends and fads in management, performance evaluation criteria, tactics to increase customer focus, etc. come and go...

  8. ...........help........

    TC3200 replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

    also: surgery center / OR / PACU

  9. Dosage Calculation Books

    TC3200 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Didn't they tell you what book? Find out and buy that one. The older edition should work fine. Actually, any drug calc book would work fine for self-teaching. But you should just get the one your...

  10. HESI A2 Study Guide?

    TC3200 replied to littlemissemilie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what the difference between a HESI and a HESI A2 exam is. Isn't the A2 the exit exam or something? And the entrance exam is just called HESI? I also took the NLN PAX, and all of those...

  11. HESI A2 Study Guide?

    TC3200 replied to littlemissemilie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Evolve/Reach HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review from Mosby is the only specific HESI book that I'm aware of. Mine is 2nd ed., ISBN 9781416056355 But the McGraw Hill general nursing preentrance...

  12. Common nusring school schedule???

    TC3200 replied to stella2570's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are in a college program, you can expect to have a block curriculum and lectures and clinicals will happen at consistent days and times, as college courses normally do. I'm in a hospital's...

  13. FAFSA for nursing students based on parents?

    TC3200 replied to newmusic's topic in General Students

    Don't include your parents unless your parents are going to pay. Mostly, that question is there just to weed out those people with resources. If the parents are not paying, and they have resources,...

  14. Which school in Pittsburgh? RN or BSN?

    TC3200 replied to ClaudiaKishi's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm at The Washington Hospital diploma program. But from what I've heard in the gossip circles, there is no shortage of new-grad nurses in the Pittsburgh area and the hiring preference is for BS...

  16. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Second semester has started, and the schedule has the same kind of commuter problems as first semester. Clinicals are Th & Fri. Lectures and sim labs are on the other days, but not a fixed...

  17. In regards to pre-req's, should I take two Psychology classes in the summer?

    TC3200 replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The two psychs should be okayy, taken together. There's some overlap of soc and the general psych. Not much, though. If you don't want to work too hard at Soc 101, there's the online one from Rio...

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Will do!

  19. Patients dead from infected IV's....

    TC3200 replied to MassED's topic in General Nursing

    Are these bags typically imports made in China, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, or someplace like that? I'm only a student nurse but when I worked in chemical engineering, all of the new plastics...

  20. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is very important: The TWH N1 schedule is not like college courses. (I had no idea how different it would be until after I'd started the program.) You are not in Room 300 every T/Th from 8AM...

  21. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You're welcome. And welcome aboard. I've been perhaps only TWH student here. I'm not from Washington. I went there to take the NLN PAX exam to have a score on file for schools that use it, but...

  22. Student Malpractice Insurance...

    TC3200 replied to Cheri234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, Anchored. Something was amiss with that site earlier, I guess. When I clicked that same link, it took me to a different page entirely that was not an application. Maybe the site was down...

  23. Student Malpractice Insurance...

    TC3200 replied to Cheri234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bump for an update on this topic. I was told to procure my own insurance. Is NPO still the best or most widely used provider, facilitator, agent or whatever they are? I checked with my own...

  24. Washington hospital school of nursing

    TC3200 replied to mjohns13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Drive from Morgantown might be feasible 1st semester when you're only at TWH on M/W/F. It will be a time drain once you need to be there 4-5 days per week. You might want to consider renting a room...

  25. how far do you drive for school

    TC3200 replied to tierra399's topic in General Students

    Hey, when I actually calculated the mileage, it was 101-106 miles ONE WAY for me, not 85-90 like I thought. I ended up renting a room in town so I didn't have to drive all that. The bad winter plus...
