  2. UHMC Spring 2012

    Melela replied to Melela's topic in General Nursing

    Aloha! I love it so far :-) there are some really hard/busy times, but I don't think it's tortuous if you are disciplined :-) normally they accept 40, but only accepted 30 this semester. I think they...

  3. I love my program so far!

    Melela posted a topic in General Students

    Anyone else here Luck out was really nice instructors? Mine spent a lot of orientation telling us how they were there to support us, they will give constructive criticism but will never put us down...

  4. I love my program so far!

    Melela replied to Melela's topic in General Students

    Mine continues to be excellent. We lost one so we are down to 29 now. The instructors keep telling us how they're there to support us and make sure we succeed. Love it! I'm tired but worth it

  5. To those that remember, and care!

    Melela replied to itsnowornever's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. Dumb Question From an Experienced RN...

    Melela replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    They will probably test you for H Pylori which can cause ulcers- I just got tested recently but thankfully

  9. Different Types Of Coworkers

    Melela replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Of course they are probably the same in other situations or jobs - but this is a nursing forum... Hence them talking about nurses not postmen

  10. Tired of kids coming to the nurse...

    Melela replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    As a student, if I said I just don't feel well, most teachers would tell me to put my head down on the desk for a while and rest- usually that helped lol they saved the nurses office for "legitimate"...

  11. Cost of living ...

    Melela replied to Lainie B's topic in General Nursing

    COL=A lot. But those who want to make it here learn how to adapt. It's easier in the sense that there really isn't any "keeping up with the Jones's" so no matter if you can't afford the nicest...

  12. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

    Melela replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 33 and have been taking prereqs for 2 years. My mom has been pushing college for years so I "don't end up in a dead end job" like she did. I got accepted to nursing school for this spring. She is...

  13. Application Denied!

    Melela replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd contact the nursing department head or whoever you can reach in the nursing department and talk to them. If they offer no help or guidance whatsoever then maybe question the program there and find...

  14. Application Denied!

    Melela replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off- I'm so sorry :-(. Did your school send a letter with what you can improve on? If not, call them and see where you came up short. It could be GPA- while a 3.2 is great- it may not be good...

  15. feedback on arthritis

    Melela replied to Indy's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My complaint to my doctors was a few descriptions. First off- I constantly felt my aching joints. They ached incessantly. Then they'd swell off and on. Also, my hands feel tight sometimes- like a...

  16. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    Melela replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hahaha I live in a house and still checked it twice a day- more on bad days lol. My neighbors must've thought I was nuts

  17. Who was admitted into nursing school?

    Melela replied to onlyme11's topic in General Students

    I just got accepted for spring. I'm 33 and the first time I went at 18 I didn't take it seriously. I am now because I want a respectable career. My husband is supporting me- its no small feat to...

  19. Hospice and Assisted Suicide

    Melela replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I agree with malamud69. I have never worked hospice, so I'm just going off my personal beliefs. If you are in hospice, it is because you are near the end of your journey already. I understand why...

    Melela replied to Melela's topic in General Students

  25. Accepted for Spring 2013!!!

    Melela replied to Melela's topic in General Students

    Lol I guess you're knee deep in a heavy course load so your enthusiasm is overtaken by exhaustion? I did forget to add I'm scared that I won't be able to keep up with the heavy time involvement- but...
