  1. All, I'm starting to explore the possibility of working (at least part of the year) as a Nurse Practitioner in South Korea and I am wondering if anyone has any resources on any part of the process (if there is one). I haven't found much on the Intern...
  2. Hello folks, I'm interested in moving to Italy to practice and currently hold a BSN. I understand the need to pass their version of the NCLEX as well as language proficiency. My question is: are there such things as advanced degree specialties (MSN...

  4. feeling insecure

    I too did the LTC type work for my first many months as an RN and then entered acute care in a hospital. VERY different work, very different pace. I felt like I was "reset" and needed to learn how to plan my day and hustle all over again, but after ...

  6. Textbooks for Nursing School

    Half.com is great. There's always that small chance that something'll go wrong, but I've had over 20 successful transactions buying books since starting my pre reqs. You'll save sooooooo much money. Even if you get burned a few bucks you'll still ...
  7. RN to BSN online @ UMASS Boston

    And by the way, there are no class times to meet.. you can work on your work morning, noon, or night. And I do a lot of work at odd hours of the night because it fits my schedule. That's what the program is all about - being able to do the work whe...
  8. RN to BSN online @ UMASS Boston

    I am finishing the program in Boston. I chose it because they require a lot less non-nursing credits than Amherst (for some odd reason!). It's a good program, I spend about 10 hours a week on work, if that. The professors are great. It is a bit pr...

  10. STCC anyone?

    Heya, Suggestion: Get together with a few friends and get Littmann stethoscopes from the internet. Going in with few people cuts down on shipping. I think I went in with like three other folks and we got free shipping.. The Littmann II is a nice o...

  12. STCC anyone?

    Much actually. - Working is possible, though I would recommend against it the senior year unless you are really good at pushing all other things in life aside.. family, fun, sleep, etc. It's certainly doable though. I did it. - listen to everythin...

  14. STCC anyone?

    Hello. I'll answer more by echoing what was said to me when I asked these questions two years ago to the school. (I'm a senior finishing up at STCC) The admission process is centered around grades in all your previous ("pre-reqs") classes. I went in...

  17. to work or not during school

    It's very doable, but I think a lot if depends on what kind of person you are. I am always either: working, studying at the library, in class, in lab or in lecture. give myself about an hour of me time a day, to take a walk, eat, check up on email. ...

  20. Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

    Is it not harder to get into grad school with c's? I know if anyone had c's in pre req. classes where I go, they'd never get into a program that takes 100 out of 900 students..

  24. The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

    I'm shifting fields because I don't have the funds or the interest to stay in stride with the tech sector (certs. etc.). Also because it's not a viable enough career field.. I can't stand worrying about my job and it will be outsourced/illiminated. ...
  25. The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't understand why you added your sexuality to your bio/intro. Who cares. And yes, it would have been more appropriate to say you were a male and had a husband. It's about as rediculous as saying, "hi, I'm bl...
