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 number is probably not unusual to hear from a college...

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 they make? Working part time as a cashier (and almos...

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 introduction.

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 chance. It just varies every semester.

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 deal.

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 wait!

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

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 understanding. On the other hand, the book probably doesnt h...

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, and other grants as well. Don't give up, there are o...

Its a satire article...

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 it.

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 equal.

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 testing center other than theres, but I dont know the p...

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 unsure of how to pay for anything yet, I will have to...

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 were going over self harm in class. I honestly have...

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 them.

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 sooner!

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 in my zoology class in high school

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 we'll be getting our clinical site information. I have...

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 lazy and order in a pizza. All my planned dinners a...

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 to start doing that.

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 day.

I start the same day as you :) I alternate between being very excited and feeling like I'm going to barf.

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 system before school starts!

I just got my Littman Classic II with engraving at Medisave. With shipping and everything it cost me $90.
