  1. The student loan bubble is starting to burst

    twigszoo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you read back to her post you would see she went for an Accounting degree, not a nursing degree at a community college. So that was 4 years of college. Depending on her state of residence, that...

  2. The student loan bubble is starting to burst

    twigszoo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats a pretty narrow view to have. I'm sure nobody wants to default on their student loans. Say somebody took your advice to get a menial job (if they didnt have one already) how much do you think...

  3. Where are you starting your clinicals?

    twigszoo replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    First clinicals will be in a rehab center for a few weeks. We are having one clinical day in a nursing home, I suppose as an

  4. Tallahassee Community College Fall 2013

    twigszoo replied to ChrystalAD's topic in Florida Nursing

    You will probably be accepted as an alternate for Spring term, their automatic acceptees for this year was from 145+. However we have 16 alternates and all but one got called in, so you could have a...

  5. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

    twigszoo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Okay if you dont want to google just white culture, you can put in American culture, or whatever. Its not very hard to modify your search to not find neo nazi sites, not really that big of a

  6. First Day of Nursing School

    twigszoo replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    Had my first day today. We went right into the course material after doing some Q & A's. Looks like clinicals start three weeks from now. Can't

    twigszoo replied to ChrystalAD's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good idea :) Any sort of bureaucratic process drives me up the wall, haha. Good luck with your

  8. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

    twigszoo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    The book just puts emphasis on stereotypes, if you are that interested in learning about "white culture" (whatever that may be) then you can probably google the search to find some sort of...

  9. Do I have any options?

    twigszoo replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with the above poster, at this point loans & other assistence are your friend. I know my college offers a scholarship for single mothers, I would try looking for those maybe,...

  11. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    twigszoo replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took Micro last year, and it was literally the EASIEST and best class I have ever taken-- and I am not a science orientated person at all. Don't stress too much, if you have half a brain you can pass...

  12. Oldest in cohort...feeling out of place

    twigszoo replied to melc0305's topic in General Students

    My nursing program has people of all ages in it, but I really dont think age is going to be a factor regardless. Nobody is going to treat you any differently for being older, everybody is

  13. Tallahassee Community College Fall 2013

    twigszoo replied to ChrystalAD's topic in Florida Nursing

    I traveled up to Tallahassee from Sarasota to take the test and spend a few days scoping out the town, so I really don't know :/ I know TCC's website does say you have the option to take it at a...

  14. Financial stress!!! GRRR

    twigszoo replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Thats awful :/ I havent taken out student loans yet, but I'm looking into it, just in case I need to in the future, and mostly for living expenses. I cannot work as much as I would like to, so I'm...

  15. Getting Past Squeamish Feeling

    twigszoo replied to BigRed86's topic in General Students

    To be honest, I know this sounds a little weird, but I have never been too squeamish. I love horror movies, can watch gore without blinking, etc. The only time I have EVER been squeamish was when we...

  16. How many men in your cohort?

    twigszoo replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There is 6 men in my nursing program of 46, so far. May change come Monday since people are always giving up their seats and letting an alternate take

  17. In between pre-nursing and nursing student (am I a Tweener?)

    twigszoo replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    Thats awful that your vacation was only 5 days! I start the nursing program on Monday. I hate the wait...wish I could of started

  18. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    twigszoo replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cat and sheep heart. It was actually kind of dumb, since we had to be in groups. We only had one cat for the entire semester, and like 4 sheep hearts. Could of done without it, I did more dissections...

  19. Tallahassee Community College Fall 2013

    twigszoo replied to ChrystalAD's topic in Florida Nursing

    I dont think we need them the first day of class, but I have heard maybe the second for a photo thing. I also think we learn about our schedules the day that classes start, I think mostly because...

  20. Staying in Shape

    twigszoo replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I've planned out my meal schedule for the entire month, and I hope I can do that every month. I think it will eliminate that frantic urge to find out what to eat, and help curb any desire to just be...

  21. Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    twigszoo replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    Usually when I tell people I'm going into nursing they ask why I don't just become a doctor instead. My standard response is because I would like to travel, and I dont want to wait until my mid 30's...

  22. One more week before I sign over my life!

    twigszoo replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Orientation barely helped me at all! We just went over the uniform mostly, and were told that we wont know anything about our classes until our first

  23. One more week before I sign over my life!

    twigszoo replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

  24. How is your sleep?

    twigszoo replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    During school finding sleep is not a problem, but since its the summer and I live in a college town...well you know I've been having a lot of fun most nights. Better to do it now and get it out of my...
