1. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

   studentgolfer replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What really sucks is when the letter is actually sitting on your kitchen counter and you are dreading opening it because it's not thick enough in your opinion. I was accepted to a spring 2012 program but I found out 4-5 months ago, and the envelope w...

2. What to do in the mean time of not getting accepted into RN program?

   studentgolfer replied to thiscatscheesy's topic in Minnesota

   You are talking about getting accepted straightaway into a post bacc at St. Kates thats probably more difficult....in my experience it is easy to get into the ADN-RN program that they have...all you need are deep pockets. No one hires LPN's around ...

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

   studentgolfer replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

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

   studentgolfer replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

   I didn't mean to offend you, I am speaking mainly of the situation here in MN as that is really the only system I have first hand experience with. We have waiting lists here as well for every CC program (500 applicants for 120 spots usually) and mo...

   studentgolfer replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

   I have never been in the armed services I don't know where you got that VA bit. I didn't say I get money from the VA. I work and pay for my education myself, with a LITTLE help from my employer.

7. Does it pay to know spanish?

   studentgolfer replied to KCRustin's topic in Minnesota

   This is in the minnesota forum for a reason, the OP is probably from MN. Your guys' posts "it may be different in different regions" is irrelevant since she posted this in the MN forum. I bet you have a lot more people speaking spanish in TX, JUST S...

8. When working in the hospital Which Floor is the Best Floor

   studentgolfer replied to cscott123412's topic in Technicians

   Since you are a NEW Nursing Assistant, the best floor in a hospital to work on will be any floor you can get hired on. Hospitals don't like to hire new pca's with no experience. I really doubt you will have your selection of floors to work on..you're...

9. Does it pay to know spanish?

   studentgolfer replied to KCRustin's topic in Minnesota

   My two cents, coming from a CNA that's worked med/surg in a hospital for 5 years, is no it will not benefit you that much. I can;t speak from a hiring manager's point of view but I think it would just be a bullet point on your resume. You would nev...

10. Minnesota LPN vs BSN program-can't decide which to choose

    studentgolfer replied to mbmn's topic in Minnesota

    Great to hear this I took classes at AR, as well as Century and it's good to hear that I can still go on to CRNA (I'm sure his grades were great). I totally agree with saying NO to an LPN as it is a WORTHLESS degree to get now in 2011 (I make more a...

    studentgolfer replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Students

13. Guys, do you wear your wedding band to work?

    studentgolfer replied to JaredCNA's topic in Men

    Can you explain why you would feel the need to chime in on a post that was made 3 months before you even read it? Having a bad day are we? :lol2::lol2::yeah::yeah: made me laugh though thanks.

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

    studentgolfer replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    My hospital pays $1,500 / YEAR. I was talking about every single class. All of my pre-reqs (Chem, Bio, Micro, AP 1, AP 2, AND ALL OF MY AA work so Speech, Geography, etc. except math because who can't test out of that) All of it, zero debt. I pay ...

15. Textbook nursing vs. real world nursing.

    studentgolfer replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like this is a saying that catches on with the students in your class that you know aren't going to be a good fit for a nursing career. The ones with little or no patient care experience but they are dead set on becoming a nurse! ($$$!) Thes...
