I'm curious to know who has or is using private student loans to help cover their cost of living if they aren't working. I have two children and daycare is expensive, as is everything else in life. Their childcare is costing me 1300.00 a month alon...

I have to agree with HouTX. I just bought a surface and I am in love! What's even better is that Word, Office, Powerpoint and Notebook come preloaded at 2013 level. It runs fast, and Bestbuy has a bundle deal going on right now with a keyboard att...

I start Aug. 26th! I have orientation and uniform ordering on June 24th :) I'm so darn excited and ready to get started!

You saw a geisinger doc huh? lol I had the same problem BUT I went to med-express paid 30 bucks and I got the second part of my tb test done there. (I was able to get the first step done at geisinger, just not the second)

You make it happen...You find time to study, and you just DO. There really is nothing else to it! Get yourself a good planner and write all your deadlines down. Any moment you have to spare, dedicate it to your studies, even if that means taking b...

Jealous!! Our orientation isn't until June :/ Until then I am working my butt(and wallet) off getting all these darn compliance's completed.

Has anyone else started their compliance's? I just started mine, only after paying and arm and a leg

I'm a new nursing student as well starting this fall! I agree, some of these posts about how dreadfully hard nursing school is, are quite intimidating! I had a 4.0 GPA throughout my pre-reqs, have two children, and have a husband who is just now le...

Congrats! I also start this fall and am beyond excited! I'm so envious you orientation is just a week and a half away! I have to wait until June 24th :/ Congrats again!

He's all yours now! My shift is over. He's been hitting the call button all night.

Congrats! Where are you going? I too was accepted and the packet we received that had our "to do" list looks grueling LOL Background Checks, Physicals, CPR, Immunization Titers..oh my!

I would assume so. I would apply for the FASFA if I were you, the worst that could happen is to be turned down. But I don't know anything for sure.

Yes it should be the BLS (Basic Lifesavers) course for healthcare providers, from my understanding. :) Very eager to meet a few of you ladies!

Yes ma'am it is. I already have a cpr mask though. I don't think they require you to purchase one but I think that's something you can do when the class is. See you there! :)

Ok CertifiedBackground.com. Everything will be open and available to us on there beginning May 1st. CPR you can take with lifelink. I actually scheduled mine for May 21st today because that is the soonest one after our May 1st date we can do. It'...

I'm so excited to just get started already, or at least it be May 1st so I can get a jump on all of our requirements prior to entering the program. Do you or know anyone that uses the PSU student health insurance plans? I'm kind of in a tough spot ...

Yes, I've seen the recommended academic plan too. I'm not sure if it is different for anyone else, but I know as a transfer student I'm not sure what classes they are going to accept to go towards my degree and what I will have to petition. Basical...

Dr.**** replied asking me to schedule an appt to meet for next week. I'm waiting to hear back from my sister as to what her work schedule is so that I can reply again to Dr. ****. The packet said that new students scheduled June 24th and everyone e...

Yes it does! I emailed Dr. **** this morning because I'm a transfer student and haven't scheduled classes as of yet. Hopefully I'll hear back soon. Have you scheduled yet?

I got my nursing packet in the mail today! It was postmarked April 12th so be on the lookout everyone!

I'm a little anxious too. Mail just came, nothing again :/ I don't want to be a pest and email the nursing dept again so I'm just eagerly waiting. Ugh I hope something comes soon! lol

Has anyone gotten their nursing packet yet? Still patiently(or attempting to be patient) waiting.

https://www.khanacademy.org/ This site is AMAZING! It helps with other areas other than math too.

What class is this for? If it's a science, which I'm assuming it is, are you actually reading the chapter? By reading I mean reading it multiple times until you fully understand it? When I'm studying a science or anything that takes a little more ...
