  1. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    ICU_UcMe replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    She already had student loans from her ADN most likely. She probably deferred them and then went back, accumulating more in the process. My university no longer has a bridge program so we have ADNs in...

  2. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    ICU_UcMe replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I graduate in December, and I've maxed out my loans pretty much the entire time too. It wasn't for school, but to help pay the bills also since we lost my income when I went back. I think I'm ending...

  3. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    ICU_UcMe replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you paying so much? I've never heard of anyone paying that much monthly for only $60,000. You could work in a rural area, go into mental health, join the military, etc, to reduce your...

  4. How often does this happen

    ICU_UcMe replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    See, this to me isn't disobedience. You're advocating for your patient by calling the doctor to first clarify, and then make the safe choice by not giving it. You're being a good nurse. OP, don't...

  5. Thrown From the Tower!!

    ICU_UcMe replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Considering I had clinical at 0600, came straight to work after, and don't get off until midnight, yup, I'd be pretty angry if my relief didn't show up until 0300. I'm sorry, but just from reading...

  6. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    ICU_UcMe replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, if nursing school were for you then you should want to be present to learn, regardless of anything else that may be going on. We all have things that happen that make us not want to get...

  7. Oh NO. 3 Times Nclex Same Result. What NEXT?

    ICU_UcMe replied to Victoryismine's topic in General Students

    Have you contacted the school you graduated from to see what type of review they

  8. What do you do when you realize nursing is not for you?

    ICU_UcMe replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    You're worried about the care you provide and about messing up. That sounds like a caring nurse to me. I would try it out after graduation, and if you still hate it then look into one of the gazillion...

  9. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    ICU_UcMe replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    There are people who got into my program around there. The average here for spring is always lower than the one for fall entrance for some reason. I think spring was a 3.6 something, and last fall was...

  10. Georgia Southern School of Nursing

    ICU_UcMe replied to shorty93's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm in patho now, and the majority of my class seems to have applied for this upcoming semester. They all say (don't know how true it is) they have 3.8-3.9 which is higher than me!

  11. 4.0 is the golden ticket!

    ICU_UcMe replied to kwilson251's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 3.5 so I may or may not get in. My university's program is really hard to get into so we shall

  12. How to stay motivated ... and sane

    ICU_UcMe replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    You took that jerk for patho during summer? Man, you're brave! How did you end up doing in the

  13. Should I take Intro to Chem online during the summer?

    ICU_UcMe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Help, please! I'm trying to decide whether I should take chemistry online during the summer? Our nursing program requires a 3.8 GPA to get in, and you must have four of the six sciences completed...

  14. Is an iPad beneficial?

    ICU_UcMe replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're taking notes for 9 hrs then yes, you'd need to charge. I do agree that it can be a challenge to sit in class and not play on it though. I'm fairly certain there were pre-reqs that I never...

  15. Is an iPad beneficial?

    ICU_UcMe replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I buy my books hard copy as well. I see no benefit in buying the digital copy, and only having a year lease on it. If I'm paying $80-100 dollars for a book, you can damn well bet I'll keep it...

  16. Is an iPad beneficial?

    ICU_UcMe replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm on mine right now! I use it for almost everything school related. I use Capture Notes to record lectures, take notes, and study handouts. I use it for dictation so I don't have to type as much,...
