1. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

   memily2000 replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know if the grandfather lives with the mom and pt., but if he does I don't understand why they haven't already been turned in to child protective services. Sounds like the girl would be better off.

2. Nursing school vs. nursing shortage

   memily2000 replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

   Chadash had mentioned that their school was 1st come-1st serve. That surprises me too. My school bases their selection on an extensive interview process, as well as # of pre-reqs completed, and grades. We had over 120 apply, 47 accepted, and 33 remai...

4. nursing school stress

   memily2000 replied to ostomyrn2b09's topic in General Nursing

   If you want to go out of state Barton County Community College is a really good (although really hard) school. This year about 120 applied, 50 are accepted, next year about 70 will be accepted because of an outreach program they are doing, but classe...

5. Nursing school--credit report??

   memily2000 replied to hillaryd's topic in Kansas

   I don't know which school you are applying at, but I think I would be offended if they asked for my credit report. This was not a requirement for Barton County Comm College. However, there is paperwork you have to do for financial aide, but even they...

11. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    memily2000 replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing... if you have to work... a night shift job that you can do your homework at allows for more time with them during the day.

13. Weeding out of nursing students

    memily2000 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    I know a smart guy who lived in NY, had a good education and a good job, but for some reason decided that nursing school would be fun, easy, and something he could always fall back on if need be. He entered the program, and found out it was a lot har...

14. Weeding out of nursing students

    memily2000 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    The nursing program at the college is harder than any other in the area. It also has the highest rate of NCLEX passers (at least per capita). It is proud of that, and I am sure their pre-reqs weed on purpose. The 3 hardest pre-reqs are Chem, AP, and ...

15. WHY are nurses so catty??

    memily2000 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Relations

    I think I was getting my definitions wrong. I thought catty was cat-like, in that we women will pull out our claws and rip people a new one when they need it. And I don't think this is always a bad thing. I think it is good to stand up for yourself, ...
