  1. Anatomy and Physiology....HELP!

    2BRN123 replied to Mkr2012's topic in General Students

    Combined A&P? as in both A&P I and II in 8 weeks? I'd run as fast as I could from that. Not because it would be tough, because it obviously would be. I would run because I would doubt the...

  2. How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    2BRN123 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    Not saying you shouldn't do the ABSN, just think about the risk (and yes facing over $900 a month in student loan repayments is taking a risk). How long until you hear back from the ADN school? Also...

  3. How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    2BRN123 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    Ok, whoa. I seriously would stop and think about this before you think you're throwing a dream out the window. If you were able to get federal aid for the total 48k you would be looking at roughly...

  4. I am confused about my pursuit of becoming an RN?

    2BRN123 replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is a good idea, go talk to an advisor :) A lot of course numbers and descriptions between college A and college B wont add up but can still be transferred. Try to get as many materials as...

  5. Citizens school of nursing

    2BRN123 replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hmmmm, Pittsburgh and Allegheny county in general is kind of one of those places you have to judge on a street by street basis. The area has a high rate of opiate abusers in seemingly unexpected...

  6. Should I take Intro Bio before Anatomy?

    2BRN123 replied to amiablepau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This isn't necessarily true. Every college structures their A&P courses differently which is why most programs require that you take I and II at the same institution. My A&P I class had SO...

  7. I am confused about my pursuit of becoming an RN?

    2BRN123 replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    sorry in advance for the length of this post: typically nursing programs (without pre-requisites) are between 16-24 months for full time students. which means, after you pass your teas test, you are...

  8. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    2BRN123 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm not in yet, dropped off my application on Thursday of last week, don't know how long it takes to hear back. Have a pit in my stomach while I wait. Are you applying for the fulltime program...

  9. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    2BRN123 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I haven't gotten mine back yet, I know that I passed but don't know the score. I'll definitely pass mine along once I get them

  10. shadyside hospital school of nursing August 2012

    2BRN123 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm going fulltime. (Which will end up being part time hours wise) because I've taken nearly all the college

  11. Please read and respond. Way depressed.

    2BRN123 replied to CynthiaG's topic in Health, Stress Management

    First thing YOU (not anyone else you feel like you've let down) have recently achieved something that like half of all people who try to do, can't manage..... and that is graduate from nursing...

  12. Can you take sciences with RN classes at MDC?

    2BRN123 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    I saw you had another post specifically about MDC in this forum, perhaps if you ask for it to be moved to the US nursing > Specific State > threads or make another post over there you might get...

  13. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    2BRN123 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Theres also something weird about how the percentile works. The way the website explains it is quite different than how they explained it to me. Typical percentile ratings would rank you against...

  14. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    2BRN123 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I've been told that the nonverbal doesn't factor but who knows, could email Natalie at Shadyside and see what she says:

    2BRN123 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Goodluck

  16. shadyside hospital school of nursing August 2012

    2BRN123 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Applied just last week. Anyone know how long it takes to hear

  17. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    2BRN123 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This is akin to academic dishonesty and others have been denied from these programs for doing it. The registrations clearly say thatyou have to have a 60 day lapse between retest or proof of...

  18. Should I even pursue NS? Are there any options?

    2BRN123 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I know I have a criminal record. My Freshman year of college (2002) I was waiting tables for extra money. Near the end of the school year I had at one point 3 of my weekly paychecks that I had...

  19. To the cynical nurse

    2BRN123 replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was labeled a drug seeker at one point. Major (and I mean MAJOR) pain in my mouth and swelling in my gum that was labeled as gingivitis 5 days later turned out to be a massive Staph infection that...

  20. At what point are employers asking TMI?

    2BRN123 replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    What's scary to me is that I don't feel like these questionnaires are subject to privilege. Once you fill it out, can't all that info you volunteered get tossed into a database and shared with...

  21. How to stay safe fulfilling 2 week notice

    2BRN123 replied to azrn523's topic in General Nursing

    Not giving 2 weeks might screw ya over in the future. Your employer can terminate you "non rehirable" for doing something like that (in 43 states). So, say you skip out on your 2 weeks notice for...

  22. How to stay safe fulfilling 2 week notice

    2BRN123 replied to azrn523's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on what State you're in, you might be entitled to relief under Defamation laws if your former employer tries anything snarky. Disseminating unsubstantiated information about a former...

  23. Shoes for Uniform??

    2BRN123 replied to Kbass2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do they have to be tennis shoes? If not I have one word: DANSKO. Seriously, the single most durable, nonslip, back friendly, foot friendly shoes on the planet. I wore only Dansko's while I was...

  24. should I let my boyfriend support me financiallythrough nursing school

    2BRN123 replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same position. Things to think about: 1. (Obviously as everyone else said) Is this a stable relationship, do you see a long future together? 2. How stable is his work situation? What...
