  2. Working 48 hours a week

    jhopper replied to jhopper's topic in General Students

    To pull a heavy load at school and work you have to have it together. You have to be able to multi task, manage time efficiently, and maintain a family. Imagine what you'll be able to do when you...

    jhopper replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    FDW630 I am listening. Here are some of the words you used to describe your situation: "shell shocked" "wanted to cry" "lost sleep" "depressed" "nervous" "terrified" "overwhelmed" "questioning my...

    jhopper replied to Clistine48's topic in General Students

  6. My acceptance letter..

    jhopper replied to jasilady's topic in General Students

    I waited for my letter, and waited. When all the other students had theirs I was still waiting. Nearly a week later I made a trip to the ASN director and found out my name had been pulled from the...

  7. Paranoia or Valid Concern, I Don't Know...

    jhopper replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Like we've discussed before, in my opinion kids thrive at home with mom and dad mixed with plenty of peer interaction. Nursing school will always be there. Kids need mommy and

    jhopper replied to Deuceswild1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I made a career change back in 2010 and earned my EMT license in Spring of 2011. I only took the NREMT and skills one time. It'a been one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life. After the...

  11. What will you do after you graduate and take NCLEX?

    jhopper replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    My buddy finished school a few months back, failed his NCLEX, and already had a job in the ER. Hand slaps forehead! After school I'll take the NCLEX, just once, and go get a job. I've been through a...

  12. need help with concern please..

    jhopper replied to libbygirl's topic in General Students

    Kelly, I am assuming you want to earn your RN license. I don't know of any specific law(s) that would prevent you from becoming a nurse with a history of prescription drug abuse. However, all of this...

  14. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    How did this all get taken out of context so quickly? Since when was it wrong for a guy to have wholesome values? Apparently a gentleman is no longer allowed to be a gentleman. Years ago our culture...

  15. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    That may be a bit of a blanket statement. I know a lot of Mexican stay at home moms who read People Magazine and use a cook book. I'm not advocating ignorance, illiteracy, or bigotry. I simply...

  16. Nursing Student using food stamps

    jhopper replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I know other students who have had to do the same. You are working your way up - social mobility. Someday you will be making 65k a year or more and will have paid more than your share of food stamp...

  17. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    Miiki, I am enjoying your thoughtful questions and curiosity. I'm not sure what we would have done if my wife wanted to go to college, although she had already gone to college and I had not. As for...

  18. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    @ Stephalump Did I mention your name when I made any of the above statements? Why are you making this personal? My beef with daycare has nothing to do with you, nor do any of my statements. My...

  19. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    It would be impractical for me to leave school right now for my wife to take classes. Doing so would cause a financial set back. Nor would my work schedule allow it. However, after I finish nursing...

  20. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    I'm just expressing my opinion. I guess it makes me feel good telling others what I think. Again, you're welcome to disagree and tell me what you think. I may not agree but I'll respect your

  23. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    Nothing personal, nor is there any abdicating of responsibilites. I work extra hard in order to allow my wife to stay at home. Your milage, and opinions, will vary.

  24. Should I switch Nursing Schools after finishing my 1st semester?

    jhopper replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

    Watch this first: Moral 4: there are no shortcuts in life. Moral 5: if you're mother were sick in the hospital would you want the RN from the fast track program caring for her or the RN who went to...

  25. Broke and about to be more broke!

    jhopper replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    I am a male nursing student, father of 3. We are priviledged, because my wife is able to stay at home with the kids. I have my own opinions about this subject. I have traveled into Mexico, Asia, and...
