  1. online courses?

    sunnyjohn replied to katiemay78's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are lots of online schools that wil let international students enroll and take prereq's. Since you do not come to the US to take these calsses you do not have the worries of getting a visa. Most...

  2. Fastest way to Nursing after my BS in Biology

    sunnyjohn replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN=RN ADN= RN Both are RNs. You certainly will not be "overqualified" as a new grad

  3. Is A Sign On Bonus Worth A 3 Yr Contract?

    sunnyjohn replied to cnpta's topic in General Nursing

    The choice is yours, but it does sound kind of fishy. I would not take a bonus for three years. Of course you could put the bonus money aside in a money market account until the end of the three...

  4. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    sunnyjohn replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow , I have considered taking that Pharmacology class at Minot State online! I did check out the book and e-mail the professor for info, but I have not heard anything. I did not know IPFW had an...

  5. associate or bachelor degree?! HELP!!!

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

    Both programs are equally tough, and since you are in Dallas, I can tell you that the Community college programs in the area are T-O-U-G-H! At your age I think you should tought it out and get the...

  6. Teacher pulls out insulin pump

    sunnyjohn replied to bergren's topic in School

    Wow! I see trouble

  7. Who else is starting clinicals in the winter?

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

    Yes, I do think I may have went a little overboard. I am not sure where my DF and I will be come January, so I had to maximize my chances. I am determined to start in Jan 2006! I should find out...

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

    Congrats to YOU :biggringi I am still waiting on 6, yes 6 schools. I have stopped checking the mail in order to avoid charges being filed by the

  9. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Opinions wanted)

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

    I don't think that not passing one test makes one unfit for nursing studies. How many of us know folks in class who are getting A's but are terrible clinical nursing students? It just bothers me that...

  10. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Opinions wanted)

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

    It would seem better to have students take the test (or at least a pre-test) beforehand to see if they qualify. Sounds like they are trying to cash in on the federal aid money and tuition money. Is...

  11. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    sunnyjohn replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This "lottery" system for nursing admission just chaps my behind. Why don't they just use pre-req and co-req GPA along with NET results. Or the school can do interviews... Or make up their own test....

  12. HELP, the state shut down my CNA school.

    sunnyjohn replied to itsme2005's topic in General Nursing

    BON= Board of Nursing. Contact the New York

  13. HELP, the state shut down my CNA school.

    sunnyjohn replied to itsme2005's topic in General Nursing

    Contact the BBB. The company may owe you a refund. A lawyer may also be needed. If you can get your classmates together, you guys may be able to get a class action going. Lawyers dig that kind of...

  14. The AANA, the ASA, and the SDN

    sunnyjohn replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I thought this thread had died.... My grandmum always told me, "Girl, I been cookin' since before the pig became a hog. Don't be so 'grabalicious'. I made enough pie for

  15. I'm Having a hard time choosing between surgicaltech/LVn

    sunnyjohn replied to merdarah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, yes they do interact with coworkers. People skills become VERY important with certain surgeons. Especially the ones that hospital administrations says bring in lots of money, so we have to...

  16. Unbelievable, but I got an 85 which is the highest grade

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

    Way to go! Enjoy the nap! Then when you wake up we can have a St Paulie girl beer!

  17. unsure of myself and courses

    sunnyjohn replied to tjc-jlc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make this your mantra, "I WILL SUCCEED!" Start small. Take one Math or science class. Once you get that first ggod grade it will be such a powerful motivator and confidence boost, you will be of fire!...

  18. I'm Having a hard time choosing between surgicaltech/LVn

    sunnyjohn replied to merdarah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm a surgical tech. I LOVE being a tech! IMO, go LVN. Then just get a job in a hospital OR and they will teach you to scrub. There are also perioperative classes that will teach you how to scrub as...

  19. Background Checks! Is school a total loss?

    sunnyjohn replied to Mikeysmomma's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You were 17, a minor? Wouldn't your juvenile records be sealed? I know folks who where in trouble when they were under 18 and then had background checks done that turned up clean. Call the IL BON for...

  20. Dissect a cat?!

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

    I thought my animal dissection was completely worthless in my Human A&P. I prefered the cadaver lab or the ADAM

  22. Chem or A&P, which is more difficult?

  23. Please Give Me Good Advice

    sunnyjohn replied to hoping's topic in Men in Nursing

    Too old, nonsense! Hospitals will be practically tripping over themselves to hire a mature male nurse with a psychology background and proior work experience! Of course he can do

  24. I am considering joining the Army, and have a few questions...

    sunnyjohn replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think it is "bad mouthing" the Armed Forces when someone tells another side of the story. Isn't that what folks in the Military are fighting for? I most likely will join. I have wanted to for...

  25. Poll: Male Nurses in the OB? Ok or No Way???

    sunnyjohn replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Male doctor, male nurse. Female doctor, female nurse. What's the difference? As long as they know up from down (and are good at the job) I'm
