    ImKosher replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did this and took a huge paycut. My wife worked full-time so we're getting by. We had to make huge lifestyle changes to make this happen. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy, we miss somethings...

  7. What others classes can I take for nursing school?

    ImKosher replied to msnursecp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Nursing Games is taking its toll

  12. Heads up to all nursing students, from recent grad.....

    ImKosher replied to lilarox's topic in General Students

    I do have to say that the nursing jobs may not be in your area, you may need to move and venture out of your nest. It drives me crazy when I see a bunch of people complaining about no jobs, but they...

    ImKosher replied to nhostetler's topic in General Students

    You can find a laptop for around 300-500 that will meet all your needs. Look at HP, Toshiba, and maybe Samsung. You can invest the rest of the money into Microsoft Office. You should do some...

  14. Nursing Games is taking its toll

    ImKosher replied to ImKosher's topic in General Students

    ImKosher replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Students

    I can't say for myself as I am in the first semester, but others have told me not to take it lightly and fall behind. They told me the number one reason people fail in my program is because they drop...

  19. Should I be scared that I'm not scared?

    ImKosher replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    Don't feel left out! Just give it a couple weeks, you'll get it and it will hit you hard. I thought the first week wasn't bad until I realized what the test material was and prior students. Take it...

  20. Another way to pay for school?

    ImKosher posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. how to read

    ImKosher replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    ImKosher replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    I don't keep my life private. It's an open book. In my opinion if I get financial aid, which I have, why should my friend be jealous? If they applied for it, and did not get aid, most likely it was...
