    Finding significant other in nursing school

    rubato replied to connor55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had two students in my class attempt to date, but it was just too much. A lot of marriages have ended in the last year and a half though.

    Am I Too Old?

    rubato replied to rdl48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like others have said, it depends on what type of shape you are in, how much debt you will go into, and probably how long you plan to work as a nurse. I will get my BSN at 45, but I can run circles...

    Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    rubato replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    All the debate about cheating aside, I fear for the sheer stupidity of this student. Who in their right mind would post an ad on Craigslist for cheating? Whether they end up cheating or not, they're...

    rubato replied to DatMurse's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry to hear about your three losses. It can be really tough even in the best of times, but then you throw nursing school in and it sucks! Glad you passed. Now, you can focus on happier times...

    To CNA or not to CNA? I have a question ... !

    rubato replied to zjtaylor85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you work both? I'm just now getting a CNA job (graduate in May), but will only work one day a week. You could feasibly work one or two days a week doing something else also that pays the bills....

    Student nurses, what will you different when you have student's?

    rubato replied to stunurs08's topic in General Students

    I will try to be more of a teacher and include them in everything. Of course, when I become a nurse, I'll probably find that the reason they didn't do that was because they were running their tails...

    rubato replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I am in school now, but in my 40s, so I've seen both sides of it. I am grateful for power points when we do get them, but I've never once relied on them for my knowledge base, just an additional study...

    Are you in class and clinicals 7 days a week for 16 hours a day? There is always time outside of class. It's just about the choices you make with that time. I have class all day Monday, clinicals all...
