    Not having a car during nursing school.

    pixiestudent2 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    It worked out fine for me. I just couldn't afford a car. But there are major cons, and almost no pros. But also, I went to a hospital diploma school, so 90% of my clinical were in the hospital I went...

    I'm actually pretty excited about this. I'll be on a med surg floor my last semester and I think it will be better for me to learn... (This goes on the assumption it will be less busy) Can anyone...

    So I just saw a commercial for Everest. Most of the schools were sold to a student loan servicer, and now all Everest schools are considered non profit and they lowered their tuition 20%... Is it me...

    Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

    pixiestudent2 replied to caliotter3's topic in Nursing News

    Honestly no one talked to me about college. I was seen as a "lost cause" I suppose and I eventually dropped out because I didn't see the point of graduating. When I was looking to get my GED, after...

    Why not just pay your loans? There are income based repayment plans for federal loans. Why take on more debt to avoid paying

    pixiestudent2 replied to kimmypeach's topic in Nursing Career

    -edited- I completely read your post wrong. Work as much OT as you can, save, borrow, use a credit card to pay it off. Sell your car maybe? I'd stay at your higher paying job, in addition to becoming...

    pixiestudent2 replied to Ooji's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know what you mean, I love nursing and I'm almost done. But my personality would probably be a more perfect fit for something like research. You don't have to stop at being an RN. There are many...

    Getting Ahead

    pixiestudent2 replied to hennezzy's topic in General Students

    I think it would set you back a semester ( it's a semester long course at my college) But at my nursing school we aren't allowed to draw blood or insert IVs, so if your school has a similar policy, it...

    What is it that you want to know? Pick out a school you want to go to, call them and find out the requirements to apply. Take those prerequisite courses, and apply. That's all you have to do. Once...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    pixiestudent2 replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    How can there even be enough evidence that you were staring. I can't believe I you were kicked out for standing in a room for 20 seconds. You could have been assessing respiration. I'm so

    Doctors want Dr. Oz off Columbia medical faculty
