    lmgst30 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say to the OP that you are being refreshingly receptive to the responses. So many posters would be crying, "Why do you all hate me/have to be snarky/eat your young?!?" after the 2nd...

    lmgst30 replied to Mybabies123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was 37, I looked at my current career and knew I couldn't spend another 30 years there. Now I'm 39, got pinned yesterday (ADN), and am looking forward to 25+ years in a career that really seems...

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Got the registration letter today -- very excited about how "real" this is becoming! Though, scheduling a this-is-your-only-chance mandatory registration in the middle of travel season seems a bit...

  10. Disrespectful patient

    lmgst30 replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  14. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Maybe they didn't get as many applications as they were expecting, and competition for admissions will be a little

  15. Help please

    lmgst30 replied to uniqui01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also a teacher who is going to school to be a nurse. Teachers may need to only be present at school for 7.5 hours, but there is no decent teacher who can actually do everything they need to do...

    lmgst30 replied to jodym's topic in School, College Programs

    Also, a lot of schools are now required to publish Gainful Employment data. These data can vary in usefulness depending on exactly what is reported, but they can help you figure out if you'll be...

  17. Looking into Pittsburgh nursing schools

    lmgst30 replied to jodym's topic in School, College Programs

    My plans are ADN/RN at CCAC or WCCC then work while enrolled in Cal U's online RN-BSN program. I'm a career-changer, so this is the best option for me in terms of maintaining my current standard of...

  18. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It said somewhere -- I think in the confirmation e-mail I got -- that they don't even start reviewing applications until the window closes March 1st. (Oh, wait, that's yesterday!) They said it can...

  19. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    What program do you want? Boyce fast track was my first choice. I submitted my application the Monday after the window opened and it's killing me to wait 4-5 months... My undergrad QPA was only 2.75...

  20. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    lmgst30 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Off-topic, but it bothers me THAT MUCH... but the number of people Eddie lets into the pharmacy really bothers me. Shouldn't the door be locked? And Antoinette! Not even a hospital employee! I know...

    lmgst30 replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My exhaustion doesn't come from being on my feet all day so much as dealing with 30 teenagers at a time for 6 hours a day. (So. Much.

  22. other non traditional students / moms

    lmgst30 replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My daughters are the main reason I decided to go into nursing! I'm in my 8th year as a full-time teacher. I was so frustrated with my job, even after I changed districts last year, that it was...

  25. Better while student: CNA or volunteer?

    lmgst30 replied to lmgst30's topic in General Students

    Wow, I *am* 37! The specialties I'm leaning toward are basically because those are what interest me. I didn't even think of physicality, to be honest. Been teaching special ed for about 10 years, so...
