   coolinbysound replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

   Maybe it has something to do with your body language or tone of voice? Or you aren't looking like you are interested during clinical or maybe you don't look very approachable. Possibly your voice tone...

4. Nursing or Medical School

   coolinbysound replied to brittarose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   coolinbysound replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Yeah, you should just go to CRNA school, become a nurse anesthetist and rake in all that $$$$ after only 2 years of your master's degree. Med school route = 2 years of prereqs (unless you did them...

10. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    coolinbysound replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    I did apply for more than 2 schools. I got into 2 of the 3, but both were private schools and expensive. I picked SU because it was two years instead of 3. I agree I should have applied to more...

14. How to get over being shy?

    coolinbysound replied to mdm063's topic in General Students

    I feel you. I'm sort of the same way, I'm not particularly shy, I just am not interested in talking with people most of the time so I never really like to talk and people always assume because I'm...
