  1. Rounding up grades

    fmrnicumom replied to kakalika's topic in General Students

    Mine does not round either. I ended up with an A- in a class (worth 3.7 instead of 4.0 - lost my 4.0 GPA; 40% of our grade was group work and it was an online class) and I was only 0.01 away from...

  2. Joining the Navy

    fmrnicumom replied to nautticca's topic in Government, Military

    Just wanted to wish you luck! There is also information on the Navy's website. I was contacted by a regular recruiter and he automatically gave me the number of an officer health care recruiter,...

  3. Usphs?

    fmrnicumom replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you! I want to make sure I have all the information before I make any decisions. The actual nursing program of my BSN is 3 years long, so I still have a while to decide. Thanks again! :)...

    fmrnicumom posted a topic in Government, Military

    I've long considered joining the military as a nurse. My dad was an Army officer and I greatly respect those that serve. I am starting a BSN program in January and will graduate in 12/2010. Anyway,...

  7. surviving nursing school financially...

    fmrnicumom replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in General Students

    Loans. I'm also applying for every scholarship I can find. I didn't want to have to take out loans, but it's either that or not go at all for me. Good luck to you! :)

  9. Considering the military, just accepted to a BSN program, but have children

    fmrnicumom replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks. :) I'll have to ask the officer recruiter when I call. I'll post what I find out so others can have an idea. The email basically said that for up to three years prior to graduation, you'll...

  10. Considering the military, just accepted to a BSN program, but have children

    fmrnicumom replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Government, Military

    LCDR Dan, thank you for that information! I had no idea anything like that existed. Medical costs can be so high! We've been so fortunate to have pretty good insurance, but it changed after he was...

  12. Considering the military, just accepted to a BSN program, but have children

    fmrnicumom replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you. :) I know many in the military have families. I was an Army brat myself. This may sound terrible but I don't know how it works when it is the mother who is active duty and I have heard...

  13. Ok...I need to get this off my chest...

    fmrnicumom replied to WanaBaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm nervous too. I was afraid I wouldn't get in, and now I'm afraid I won't do well or won't like it or something will go wrong. One of my biggest worries is child care for my son, who was just...

  14. Had orientation today...having second thoughts

    fmrnicumom replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm about a year and a half behind my goal too because of childcare and my son's various issues. Thankfully he's made a lot of progress developmentally! Unfortunately he was just diagnosed with...

  15. Is Nursing for me?

    fmrnicumom replied to joolia's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to wish you the best of luck. I also wanted to say that whether or not nursing is for you, if you live your life the way others want you to, you will regret it. I speak from experience....

    fmrnicumom replied to ingui08's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you! Please do contact the school you want to get your BSN from and double and triple check with them. It is very frustrating to find out a class doesn't transfer and you have to...

  17. Frustrated!

    fmrnicumom replied to bagladyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree that there are too many miracle baby stories. Not that there are too many miracle babies, but more that there are too many *incorrect* or misconstrued miracle stories, and too much emphasis...

  18. If For One More Day.......

    fmrnicumom replied to military girl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I was going to say my son, too, but I wasn't thinking about the agony of letting him go again. I don't think I could do that again.

    fmrnicumom replied to elizabells's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    fmrnicumom replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    Assuming things go according to plan, I will graduate in December 2010 at the age of 32. I went back to school shortly after my son was released from the NICU in 2005. Since then, I have taken a...

    fmrnicumom replied to pugluvr310's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's wonderful! I'm happy for you. I'm glad you were able to find someone who would do that for you. I hope I am as fortunate when I start clinicals! Good luck!

    fmrnicumom replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    GreenEyes, I'm sorry you feel that you're not good enough. I know that feeling and it is miserable. Try to get involved with something other than waiting for the letter, because you are SO much more...

  24. Part time RN/LPN program in Detroit area

    fmrnicumom replied to ednavaleria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how far you're willing to travel, whether you want a bachelor's or associate's program, how long you're willing to wait before starting, when you would be able to attend classes, etc....

  25. MOMS: Do you think this is taking on too much?

    fmrnicumom replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's doable, but it does depend on you. I went back to school for the first time in 8-9 years within days of my son being released from the NICU. I had 8 credit hours both spring and summer...
