    I received this scholarship last year and like your counselor said cancel the loan. They will send tuition to your school in October. Your school won't charge you late fees etc. because this...
  2. Nurses and their pens

    I use the Sharpie pens, more like fine tipped markers (don't indent paper) in the multicolor pack I have 12 with 10 different colors. Love being able to color code my notes/report. Makes it easier to...

    Try the Prestige Medical watches! Got mine Dec 2013 as a Christmas gift wore it to clinical and wear it every work shift now. It's very flush to the wrist and allows for movement without getting...
  6. Nursing and Second Job

    Sign up for Pay As You Earn and allow them to reduce your student loan payments. $825 is steep, and unless you have dual income or are making EXCELLENT money and have no other bills (insurance,...

    Also more people than less start out slow. Seasoned nurse have their routines, and my preceptors made it very clear to me that it will take time for me to get my own routine and create a system that...
  8. Were they looked poorly upon for doing so? For reference
  9. Scrub pants?

    Also for reference purposes Barco creates Grey's Anatomy so if you find anything in their NRG or ICU collection at discount it will be well worth it! The quality is very high in their line. I got mine...
  10. Which Scrubs Look Professional?

    I wear ICU by Barco and find they are very neat and look well put together. I do think some of the higher priced brands (Grey's, Koi, Barco) all are great quality and don't fade terribly and hold up...
  11. Scrub pants?

    Grey's Anatomy/ICU by Barco are all I have and I love them...ordered the tall and they fit perfectly and their tops still give a nice feminine
  12. Would you do this...? Thoughts....

    I think it is a viable option, I have never had any serious weight problem (always little for my size) but I do understand how the treatment is an option. Even with gastric bypass the chance of going...
  13. Saunders online question bank

    Saunders is great for content review, Kaplan is great for actually learning how to answer NCLEX-style questions...just my opinion. I read the entire Saunders book and after reading would do the Kaplan...
  14. I failed the NCLEX-RN the first time...

    I agree with AkulahawkRN, with having all 265 questions you were more than likely consistent in content and need to focus on your test taking skills and determining what each question is asking you....
  15. To address the topic of this post, the reason is because of his dementia. His disease process is what makes his behavior a bit challenging. I agree with the other posters about seeking professional...
  16. Sub Par Grades? Do I have a chance?

    I agree with the other poster, of course never give up until it is no longer possible. My grades were terrible my first few years of college and ultimately they got better and I got accepted and...
  17. Different Employment Options for RN BSN

    Flight Nurse, Private Nurse, there are many options and different specialties that help in qualifying for other positions other than a Staff
  18. Shoes

    If you have the extra money I'd say go ahead and get Dansko I have a pair of the Pro XPs and after long hours my feet don't suffer. But everyone is different, I did have to break in my Dansko's first...
  19. really confused

    I think I recall a member saying that it cancels your ip then shows active once you have passed. Please don't quote me on that I can't remember which thread it was either it was about 2 weeks
  20. Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    Exactly. When I did it, I used a valid card and it never attempted to charge me. But please keep us updated as to whether you have passed or failed
  21. Malpractice Insurance

    I heard State Farm is around $100 a year too! I'm gonna see if I can get more info as I am looking myself as a new
  22. Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    That poster never had the card processed, he entered invalid credit card information and Pearson let him know. It did not give him an insufficient funds message. The card entered must be valid/real...
  23. Bad pop up, BUT passed the NCLEX-PN!

    Yes the title on this is a bit misleading. You didn't get the bad pop-up because you didn't do the current "trick". For fellow readers be aware that the trick was not fully done in this
  24. Here is the study guide they are referring to...Hope This Helps! Nclex-Study-Guide Must
  25. What is supposed to be the hardest year?

    Of the 5 semesters of my nursing practice the last was the easiest and the 3rd&4th semesters were the most difficult due to having Med Surg 1&2 and Peds at that time. It's all hard but for...
