  1. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    Ally082 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree that healthcare workers should always TRY to be healthier but being healthy is also about what's happening in the body. This should include any size person who has other unhealthy habits like...

  2. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    Ally082 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is possible but you are not thinking it all the way through. My best friend is built like a supermodel but she lives a very unhealthy life. She lives off of fast food, beer and a pack a cigarettes...

  3. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    What if the other student's motivation wasn't to just throw someone under the bus? What if the other student was deeply offended by the vulgar language and unprofessionalism of the OP? What if they...

  4. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    The line could be drawn by the facility who allows the students of that school to interact with their staff and patients when they don't have to. The OP posted about a facility tech which could...

  5. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    I agree, people misuse it often. I was worried that the OP was getting bad advice when told to get aggressive with the school before they made the decision. It would have been foolish to jump the gun...

  6. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    You guys are still talking legal terms but the bottom line is there was a complaint by another student who was offended by what she wrote. The school didn't peruse this, the person she posted about...

  7. How do we educate the public on ways to afford medications?

    Ally082 replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Patient Medications

    They probably do this online but I would use that as last resort. My dad found out that some cheaper med options for my mom that he researched online led to shady non reputable pharmaceutical...

  8. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    That is great news! I'm so glad it worked out for you. Better you learn this lesson in school than in the workplace and jeopardize losing a

  9. Might not graduate over FB

    Ally082 replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Is there any code of conduct that you signed or was given to you? Read over that to see if they state it clearly that they reserve the right to hold you back from graduation. I am looking into a CNA...

  10. Huge List of A&P Videos

    Ally082 replied to x_factor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are amazing and thoughtful! I love that I have come across so many fellow students on this journey that want to help each other. We are going to be a caring and well prepared generation of nurses!...

  11. How do we educate the public on ways to afford medications?

    Ally082 replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Patient Medications

    Sometimes you can print out the drug formulary, so you have a comprehensive list of what drugs are actually covered by the plan. That way if there is a comparable drug that is covered by the insurance...

  12. How do we educate the public on ways to afford medications?

    Ally082 replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Patient Medications

    To answer your question yes this happens all the time no matter what coverage you have. Private insurance may not cover certain high cost injectables at all, meaning you would always pay out of pocket...

  13. Has Studying for Nursing School Been Like Solitary Confinement?

    Ally082 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Getting back to regular visits with my family, my niece is already 2 years old and growing so fast! I miss her! I also want to just do the normal dinner and drinks with friends. I'm so out of the...

  14. New Nursing student

    Ally082 replied to grneyes908's topic in General Students

    What about the calendar on your cell phone? (Assuming you have one.) It can be a great resource for organization. One of my classes uses software that has an app, I downloaded it right to my phone....

  15. Unemployed experienced nurses

    Ally082 replied to fairyheart16's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks. I've learned a lot from coming here and from others experiences. I believe in researching the heck out of anything that's a major cost to you or any big life decisions, I don't take these...

  16. Shameless Request: What is the easiest NP program to go to? Botox Nurse seeks easy NP

    Ally082 replied to BelindaPate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To clarify my personal situation, I am in a financial situation that would allow me to qualify for grants, scholarships and an overall hefty financial aid package. Yes, this makes the choice to...

  17. Shameless Request: What is the easiest NP program to go to? Botox Nurse seeks easy NP

    Ally082 replied to BelindaPate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are my hero. I just had a major heart to heart with my dad about which schools to apply to (for BSN when I finish my pre-reqs, I eventually want to be psychNP). My parents could never afford to...

  18. Unemployed experienced nurses

    Ally082 replied to fairyheart16's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm still a student in the Philly job market as well. I am scared to death that when I finish school there won't be anything available to me. I am starting my networking now and letting everyone I...

  19. Drexel vs UPenn Financial Aid Packages

    Ally082 replied to Ally082's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, sorry. Ace is accelerated for those with a previous degree. I would only qualify for the general BSN

  20. Drexel vs UPenn Financial Aid Packages

    Ally082 posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm currently taking prerequisites and doing a lot of research on which schools I want to apply to for Fall of 2015. I'm working so hard to get my current 3.061 GPA up as much as possible. I'm already...

  21. Drexel vs UPenn Financial Aid Packages

    Ally082 replied to Ally082's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you for your reply. That's good to hear. It's been difficult to find information about the financial aid packages. I will be transferring into a BSN with no previous degree, I have 60+ credits...

  22. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Ally082 replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Agreed. This country deserves better. I am totally an independent thinker and actually not a fan of politics at all. The policies and my honest opinion ARE what drive all of my comments. The policies...

  23. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Ally082 replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Eru, good point about the constituents of these governors. You are right, if they believe the ACA is bad they will not speak up but I still find it surprising that the press and even the democrats...

  24. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Ally082 replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Amy, one last thing. You are absolutely entitled to feel however you want and share your bad experience, especially because you are one of the people who got screwed over in the process. My point...

  25. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Ally082 replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Amy omg not at all! I'm sorry if it seems confusing. If you read the whole post, I actually wrote the same exact thing that happened to you happened to me also! I am unemployed and in school. When I...
