"what makes you great is because you are thinking of the patient first, whether you realize it or not, you are putting your patient first because you don't want to do the wrong thing or make a mistake! That, to me, makes a phenomenal nurse." Best th...

Hi All! The nerd in me created this little grade record to help me keep track of my grades this term (and future terms). I attached it to this email in PDF format. Let me know if you have trouble viewing and I can email it to you. Good Luck!! :...

I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm at the Jefferson Campus and so far so good. Everyone seems really focused on the end product: Graduating Nursing School+Passing Boards+Getting a Job. It seems that we have a good mix of students who are first time c...

NEW INFO: I just found out that you can still qualify for this program if you have a BS degree. Turns out, I was given the wrong information by somebody who SHOULD not have been answering that type of question. Anywhooo, bad info cost me a few ...

NEW INFO: Turns out the person in my school's WIA office who gave me this information was NOT the authorized person to give that information out and (according to the only STATE employee in that office and the WIA office) you can still qualify f...

I saw my BB last night but, I didn't see the message from the instructor until this morning. FYI: the message (in a nutshell) said Class today at 0900, "Bring syllabus and Calendar to class", and drug test today at 1300 cost $43 cash preferred, chec...

Hello! I am in a similar situation. My school offers loans but, I dont qualify because I already have a (useless) BS degree. Check with your local Unemployment office. There is a program called WIA-Workforce Investment Act (which may have a sligh...

Hey AngeWeise, Workforce solutions in Alabama is a program that provides assistance with career training for people who are unemployed or qualified otherwise. I don't know about other states, but here in Alabama if you have a B.S. degree, even i...

What I learned my first go round was RATIONALES, RATIONALES, RATIONALES.....thinking like a nurse involves RATIONALE, the who what when where and why of a situation. Example: Leaving without asking her what she meant, is NOT thinking like a nurse.....

I like option 1. For several reasons: 1. Longevity with a company Thoughts: This is becoming a rarity these days across all industries. Plus, if you decide you want to make a big purchase after nursing school such as a ca...

I wonder if it is okay to have e-books???? If you have an ipad or kindle, etc, it would be a heck of alot easier to carry those instead of the books plus, some of the e-books are alot cheaper than the actual text.

I think everyone has had their orientation thus far, any thoughts on the $580 book bundle??????

The travel agent clearly said get immunizations BEFORE the trip.......

The jury is still out for me on the book bundle. I'll sit down tonight and price things for myself just to be on the safe side. $580 is ALOT and I am paying for this out of pocket so I REALLY need to make sure I have exhausted EVERY alternative. Eve...

Ohhhhh ok!! Cool. How much does it cost (although it sounds like it shouldn't) ??????

Hey I just looked over the info email and I didn't see anything about the drug screen (or info on how/where to complete it) perhaps we'll get this info in orientation??????

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!! I saw where you shared on another thread and I am so HAPPY you are here!!!! CONGRATS!!!

Got my acceptance email today around noon!!!! ALL SMILES!!!! :) :) :) :)
