I actually really want to do home health when I graduate in about a year, but I wasn't sure what kind of experience I need first. Is it possible for new grads to do home health, or do I need to work in a hosoital first? Thanks!

I think they might be referring to the post-partum floor.

Great post, Gonavy! Thanks for the info!

Community college all the way! It worked for me, and considering the cost of the actual nursing programs, you need to save money where you can.

LOL...I get dreams like that, too, particularly about starting the job. Just remember that you have school to look forward to, and by the time you're done with school, hopefully the job will seem less scary...or not. :).

I have been taking my pre-reqs at Truman for the last two years and, aside from my Micro teacher (who was awesome), it has been a horrible experience. Dealing with the administration was the worst part of it. My best advice, if you are going to att...

I'll be starting an ABSN program in August and will be depending entirely on loans to live my life. Federal and private.

We just go to the 3 day orientation for ABSN. They will be sending an email with the details once everyone has been accepted. Congrats on getting accepted Andi! Where do you currently live? I wouldn't recommend moving to the city because the camp...

The one I got is a Lumiscope. It has good sound and it was a good price.

Yeah, I got that number from the website, but at the open house, they said that tuition for the program was around $50,000, so I assumed that was up to date.

Wow, you guys clearly want to turn this into a "my job is bigger than yours" argument, so I'm taking my ball and going home.

Purple Scrubs, I would like to point out that you dumped all over my post without really reading it, so I don't think you are one to criticize. I used the phrase "acute problems that could easily become deadly" and I stand by that. In the context o...

Hey Guys, Just wanted to let you know, in case you don't know already, that I was able to find all of my nurse supplies cheaper on Amazon, than they are at the uniform place....mostly because Amazon has free shipping. I got my shoes, pen lights, ste...

Maybe you could look into clinical/outpatient nursing or maybe becoming a school nurse. That way, you will be working with everyday health issues, rather than acute problems that could easily become deadly.

In my book, an 89.9 should always be rounded to a 90. You were robbed!

Ahh...another City College refugee! Congratulations on moving on....that place is the worst. Here are my stats in case you guys are interested: 3.6 GPA (1st undergrad), 3.8 GPA (prereqs)- Worked as an administrative assistant for years and then be...

Try not to think about it. I'm sure that if they do give us a test, it's just to get an idea of where we're at. You're already in, so don't worry too much anout it. Btw...love your new profile pic. :).

Physicians and Chiropractors can use acupuncture on a limited basis after a short certification program, but NPs cannot. Otherwise, you need to complete the full acupuncture degree, as zenman said. There are no specific requirements for practicing ...

I was confused about the parking thing, too...especially because I can't believe they are charging us for parking. It's not like it's in an area where parking is scarce. I meant to ask Natalie for clarification on the 'staff' parking, and now you j...

My friend is in her 30's like me, so she didn't need a co-signer. The private loans do base everything off of your credit score, though, so if you don't have a long or good credit history, then a co-signer could be used to get a better rate. You ca...

Good luck with your application!

Yes! You will definitely see me at orientation. :).

P.S. I'm sorry for the really long paragraph, but I can't figure out how to get the paragraph breaks to show up when I post.

Hey there! These were the two schools that I was deciding between, so here's what I found out about them: first of all, tuition...Rush will come to about $48,000 for the program ($8,058/term x 6 terms) and loyola's tuition and fees also come to abo...

It's nice when life makes decisions for you. :). Although it sucks that you had to go through such an agonizing wait before finding out. As far as student loans, check out Charter One. A friend of mine got a good rate from them last year (around 4...
