  5. Need $ fast to apy for all the Pre-nursing stuff!

    land64shark replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just came from orientation and our books were quoted as $1000. But this is a one time deal. The books are for all 4 semesters. (Actually, they said that was about 95% of the books we'll need.) The...

  7. NP w/no desire for RN?

    land64shark replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yup! that may be my plan too. I really don't want the "bedside" nursing career. I'll put in my time and do the best I can at it, but it'd just be a stepping stone to another place. You hear this all...

  8. Having Second Thoughts

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in Nursing Career

    EXACTLY! I'd just like to do what I need to do and move on. Of course there will always be patient contact. I'm not "afraid" of people. I just don't see myself comfortable with "extended" individual...

  9. Having Second Thoughts

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in Nursing Career

    I knew I didn't put this right. I tried to explain it much too simply. I like the technical aspect of nursing. Proceedures. I've always been interested in medicine/healthcare and knew I wanted to do...

    land64shark replied to Nathalie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. What Kind of Health Benefits Do You Have?

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think it would be odd if I were to call some hospitals and ask them what their benefits are and how much even though I'm not looking for employment (right now)? There's quite a range in...

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    land64shark replied to salvati08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm currently debating whether I will accept an earn as you learn scholorship for nursing school from a local hospital. There is a 2 year work commitment involved and I've been told that they do not...

  16. Anybody Scared to be a Nurse re: Bird Flu?

    land64shark posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Am I being ridiculous? How do hospital staff protect themselves from exposure in the event of a pandemic? This is really starting to spook

  17. Magnet status question

    land64shark replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    So could it be assumed that magnet hospitals would have good patient ratios, or is that making an a$$ out of u and me? I'm wondering because a magnet hospital that is offering me an earn as you learn...

  18. Anyone attending or graduated from HCC??

    land64shark replied to FLstudent06's topic in Florida Nursing

    land64shark replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, our new instructor is trying her best to sort things out. She's been spending the last 36 hours communicating with us students, but she just posted a message that she won't be answering anything...

    land64shark replied to J-9TylerTexas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 2 this past summer. Ours was 10 weeks. I had no trouble with it and got my A. I had taken A&P 1 during the regular 15 week session and although I still got an A, I found it more...

    land64shark replied to SuccessSW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bio was not required at my school. I got A's in both A&P 1 and 2 with no science background at all. (I'm taking micro now, but it would take hours to explain the story there.) So, yes...drop

  23. What punishment should this nurse get?

    land64shark replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Rules are rules, but there's got to be exceptions. If this ruins the career of an excellent nurse, I will need to rethink my decision about going to nursing

  24. Galen Institute

    land64shark replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students
