  2. Do honors help gain a job

    ladyvp05 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I don't think I would take 3 extra classes to get honors. Your grades already reflect that you do well in school. Now I do believe having good grades may help you when it comes to job hunting. There...

  4. Pregnant during last semester of nursing school, waiting to graduate or after a job?

    ladyvp05 replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    ladyvp05 replied to CCRN14's topic in General Nursing

    ladyvp05 replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

  13. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    ladyvp05 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I'm just wondering why the ABSN is not at the top of your list. It will take half the time of the private school and only cost $13,000 compared to $81,000 for the private school. What am I missing...

  14. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    ladyvp05 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Wait for the $13000 ABSN program. My state has a 12 month ABSN program for people with previous bachelor degrees in other fields, and no employers are turning them down because they went through an...

    ladyvp05 replied to Donna Maheady's topic in General Nursing

    I took my 3 year old autistic son to the dentist 3 months ago, and it was a nighmare. He wouldn't stay still. He was screaming and bit the dentist's finger. Our morning routine is hell. He acts wild...

  19. Taking 20 credit hours?

    ladyvp05 replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you were taking 20 hours of liberal arts classes I would say go for it. I don't recommend taking chem, micro, and A&P in the same semester. I could've did the same thing you're attempting to...

    1300 is pretty much the foundations of the nursing program. Every class you will ever take builds off it. You will learn how to assess a patient. What I mean is you will be able to do a physical exam...
