  3. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    Jennie.K replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BTW, private schools usually have more funds for scholarship than state

  4. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    Jennie.K replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How is your GPA? Can you get scholarships at the private schools? I go to a private school that is 30K a year but they gave me enough scholarship to make it the same price at the community college and...

  5. Working day shift for the perpetual vampire

    Jennie.K replied to heydelilah's topic in General Nursing

    I am NOT a morning person. What I have found that is the only thing that helps me is to exhaust myself. It takes me about a month to make my body wake regularly before 6 am. I force myself out of bed...

  6. When do you find time to work out?

    Jennie.K replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    We have a pretty nice gym on campus. I go at 730 am MWF and my first class those days is at 9. I am one of those people that like to spend 1 1/2 - 2 hours working out; so, only getting 45 mins will...

  7. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    Jennie.K replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A GED shouldn't matter. Usually after 12-24 credits they stop looking at your HS grades. However, a 4.0 GPA = ALL A's in every class, first time through it. I would call the school you are applying...

  8. Accreditation super important?

    Jennie.K replied to jduvall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to the accredited

  9. RN to Counselor??

    Jennie.K replied to Epona's topic in Nursing Career

    It is the same in my area. You need at least a Masters degree in psychology with an emphasis in the type of counseling you want to

  10. I need Money

    Jennie.K replied to miabia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can try googling scholarship info; however, it is mostly a waste of time because you have to sort through all the ads and BS. Have you filled out a fasfa? You may find random scholarships here and...

  11. Loans just for living expenses

    Jennie.K replied to Doyelfamily75's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Can you get a part time job that is outside of healthcare? Yes, the experience will help you get a job; however, you will need to keep our grades up if you want to become an RN some day. Would it be...

  12. I need Money

    Jennie.K replied to miabia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

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

    Jennie.K replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

    I would definitely switch and go to an accredited school. What if you move or decide you want a higher degree? You may have no plans of ever wanting that now, but you could change your mind. Besides,...

  14. Broke and about to be more broke!

    Jennie.K replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    Wow, please don't take this the wrong way. Things often come out wrong in written forums. However, my husband works (active duty army) and I go to school. Our daughter is in school and our son is in...

  15. Help!! What's wrong with my resume?

    Jennie.K replied to trolloc6340's topic in General Nursing

    It is really wordy... The career coach at my school told me to think of your resume as an outline for your interview. You can talk about your experience in the interview. The person looking over your...

  16. RN or EMT-P?

    Jennie.K replied to RevolverOcelot's topic in General Students

    Considering an NP needs a master's degree and an EMT-P is an associate degree, I would assume the NP would be more skilled. If you want to treat victims of gunshots and explosions, have you thought...

  17. Can't even get classes.

    Jennie.K replied to mintygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a school you can transfer to where you can take the prereqs? If so, I'd

  18. What do you do in lab for A&P?

    Jennie.K replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got lucky and didn't have to do the cat dissection. In A&P I we just looked at slides and bones. In A&P II we have to dissect a fetal pig... Not looking forward to that!! I had to do that in...

  19. Is this too much?

    Jennie.K replied to shannonyocum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are good at managing your time and if these types of courses come easy for you, I think you'll be fine. It will be a crazy amount of work, but worth it if you can get a good

  20. Hearing from your recruiter

    Jennie.K replied to leekun2010's topic in Government, Military

    I think it just depends on your recruiter. When my husband was looking into the air force, it took forever for his recruiter to do anything. Then, with the national guard, he was sent to MEPS and then...

  21. Stupid things that nurses say

    Jennie.K replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think this is my favorite story of all

  22. I need advice on my fall semester schedule.

    Jennie.K replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a minimum credit hour requirement? If not, I would drop two of the online courses if you can. Also, are you the sole care provider? When I first started school, I was working full time and...

  23. Which degree to go for?

    Jennie.K replied to PassionWithAPurpose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have any obligations other than school, such as kids? If not, I would go straight for your BSN. The job market is pretty bleak and the higher degree with give you a better chance of getting...

  24. Really sad :(

    Jennie.K replied to NOLAmommy3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At least you have a job. Be thankful for what you have and learn what you can. When a new job opens, apply for it. You aren't going to love any job if you can't learn to deal with the crappy side

  25. Stupid things that nurses say

    Jennie.K replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor
