  1. Torn Between Two Careers

    Cat365 replied to Shortcake_BSn's topic in General Nursing

  6. Hybrid program of sorts?

    Cat365 replied to Mansfield1891's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look around at local schools to see what their programs and schedules are. How busy are your normal 24 hour shifts? Do you usually have enough downtime to sleep/study? Will your...

  7. Advice

    Cat365 replied to imp3rfect_beauty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    She should be able to get federal loans even with already having a Bachelors degree. She will not qualify for grants though. I used federal loans to get my nursing degree. Can you ask if the school...

  8. Working as a nurse and going to school

    Cat365 replied to kc13's topic in LPN to RN

  9. Interview attire.

    Cat365 replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wore a red top with a discreetly high neckline, black dress slacks, and black pumps, my long hair was confined in a tight bun with a black stick holding it up. I kept my makeup to a minimum and made...

  10. Help, completely confused (pre-nursing, entry-level jobs, etc)

    Cat365 replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in General Students

    My school didn't require all of the sciences be completed before beginning. All we had to have to apply was anatomy 1 & 2 for the sciences. I, brilliant person that I am, convinced my advisor that...

  11. Do your teachers round up grades?

    Cat365 replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    During prerequisite classes my profs rounded, but not in my nursing classes. I know a student that was repeating a class. He had figured out that he failed the first time by one test

  12. Shoes

    Cat365 replied to ICareAlot's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wore a pair of new balance ww576wt with new balance arch supports, but I have high arches and like to have plenty of toe room. It depends on your foot shape. What is comfortable with a flat wide...

  14. How to stay looking neat

    Cat365 replied to zynmimi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hate mornings so I do everything I can ahead of time. One day a week I do laundry and I hang work stuff together. A full weeks work outfits on the outside of the closet. That way I don't have to...

  15. I feel weird to wear scrubs to school

    Cat365 replied to mndlng97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I usually change, but I don't like scrubs. I just put a bag of "street clothes" in my car. However if you are changing in your car look around for security cameras first. I made that mistake. If I...

  16. Should I even bother???

    Cat365 replied to merchan5967's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe it's just my area of the country but I think that your Air Force experience will aid you. Employers here faced w two candidates that are otherwise equal will hire the veteran. I think that this...

  17. Quit job to go to nursing school - resume help?

    Cat365 replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Years ago I walked off a job (non health care) and I was never entirely sure if I quit or was fired (we screamed it at the same time). I then reported them to the department of labor for requiring me...

    Cat365 replied to pistolpete02's topic in General Nursing

  20. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    Cat365 replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess this is just one of those things that depend on how you look at it. I am guilty of using the phrases "my techs" or "my secratary", but in the same thought I am "their *****" (unusual position,...

  21. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Cat365 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    Yes, I see the point. It probably didn't help that the original scrubs I had to buy the tops were unisex and unfitted. The bottoms I ordered in an extra small and still couldn't keep up. Prior to this...
