1. Passed Statistics with an A-

   BeagleBabe replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Congrats! That was my least-favorite pre-req!!! I also go an A, only because my professor spoon-fed us what we needed for the tests, I don't understand the concepts at

2. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

   BeagleBabe replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Well Sweetgeorgia, I sincerely hope teaching will be better for you than it was for me. I'm quitting teaching after 5 years to go into an ABSN program. I also had 12 hours days, only I worked them 5...

3. Just graduated from LPN, how soon should I start RN bridge?

   BeagleBabe replied to yolandalpn's topic in LPN to RN

   Why does a bridge cost 30K? That's crazy. SCF in Bradenton will have a weekend bridge starting soon, and I'm sure it won't cost 30K. I can't imagine spenting a total of 55K on an associate's degree. I...

4. Professionals or "workers"

   BeagleBabe replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   These posts are depressing to me. I'm a pre-nursing student, and on leave from my teaching job. You guys have all the same complaints about nursing as I do about teaching, and I was hoping nursing was...

5. Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

   BeagleBabe replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Our current system is idiotic, penny-wise and pound foolish. I am an unemployed, uninsured pre-nursing student. I could get COBRA from my old job at a cost of $545 a month. Since I am unemployed, I...

6. University of Maine at Fort Kent

   BeagleBabe replied to KEMD's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have a reply for you, but I'm thinking of applying there. How is the program? Would you mind sharing your stats? Did you take all of the recommended

7. Nasty Parents and This Opportunity to Vent

   BeagleBabe replied to bleemadden's topic in School

   Jolie: how can you state that children with lice shouldn't be sent home? Don't you think they will spread lice in the classroom through hugging, sharing hairbrushes, lice getting on the carpet and...

8. Obesity and Nursing

   BeagleBabe replied to Traci G's topic in General Nursing

   What determines "healthy"? A good BMI? I am obese on my bmi, but I am obese due to lean muscle mass (133 pounds of it to be exact!). Being able to run a marathon? There are plenty of skinny people who...

9. Moving to FL--Stuart or Bradenton area?

   BeagleBabe replied to RachNichole's topic in Florida Nursing

   Bradenton is crime-infested and gang-infested. Sarasota is much nicer and safer. Check city-data.com for the cities you want to move to. It has great information and message boards about each town....

10. Do retakes on courses make nursing school applicants look bad? HELP!

    BeagleBabe replied to kayjam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It totally depends on your school. One school I looked at wrote on their website that they would not consider applicants with a "pattern of W's" on their transcript. Two others I'm applying to will...

11. Taking A&P I and Nutrition

    BeagleBabe replied to happyland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have to take nutrition now? I'm taking it with A&P 2, and it's a breeze since it basically reviews everything (minus body parts) from A&P 1 and some horomone stuff we just did in...

12. College Algebra ughh

    BeagleBabe replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where do you get that 10,000 number? I'm sure I haven't done my stats or algebra problems 10,000 times, and I learned the

13. College Algebra ughh

    BeagleBabe replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed algebra in high school with a C, but didn't learn a thing. When I got to my CC, I started at the bottom, like the other posters suggested to you. My CC offered pre-algebra (thankfully I...

14. Questions about SCF's ASN program, or USF BSN

    BeagleBabe replied to BeagleBabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Legacy: I will be applying to USF and FGCU for BSN programs this February. I decided to take the time to do all the BSN pre-req's. Now I just hope it wasn't all for nothing! If I don't get in, I'm...

15. Applying to SCF/USF nursing and so discouraged

    BeagleBabe replied to BeagleBabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    [COLOR=#003366]Gengelha- I'm still going to apply to USF, I just never expected it to be so hyper-competitive. And I'm not wasting $1,000 on a CNA I'll never use, so I can't apply to SCF now. There's...
