  1. Private or public? (UW-Milwaukee vs. Cardinal Stritch)

    MssNurse2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a student at MATC (taking my pre-reqs) and planning on transferring to either UWM or Cardinal Stritch in Fall 2014. I was taking all of my general classes with UWM curriculum in mind, but now I...

  2. Epidural vs. Dilaudid?

    MssNurse2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, I am a future nurse, but right now I am going to be a patient and need some advice from experienced nurses. I want to thank in advance to everyone who will share their opinions. I will...

  3. Epidural vs. Dilaudid?

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Girls, I was just asking for your own experience with both methods of pain managements for your patients. Of course I will be the one who makes this decision, just my doctor's suggestion is only one...

  4. Negativity toward nursing as a career choice

    MssNurse2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to start this thread for awhile, and since today I am in a particularly bad mood, I decided it was definitely time to do so. So many times I've seen pre-nursing students starting topics here...

  5. What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    MssNurse2b replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Endocrine in AP-1 was my hands down favorite! Liked cardiovascular this semester in AP-2 as

  6. Can't get into nursing school!

    MssNurse2b replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, that's just the way it is. And I think it is fair. A lot of students DO work and have 4.0 gpa. Others take loans with living expenses and repay after the are done with school. You will still...

  7. 3 Rejections in 1 Day

    MssNurse2b replied to pedsnursetobe<3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    what kind of schools are those? Counting classes in progress as C's can put a lot of applicants to the bottom of the list. And it does seem weird. It's not your fault you didn't get in, you have great...

  8. Alternative majors?! Out of motivation.

    MssNurse2b replied to ohhivivian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, you need to give us more info about your situation: 1. what is your GPA 2. do you have any volunteering experience? 3. are you considering only public schools or also private? 4. where do you...

  9. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been on this forum for sometime now and read a lot of threads about how competitive nursing programs are and people are staying on a waitlists and are willing to travel miles and miles from home...

  10. Bones, Articulations, Muscles...Oh my!

    MssNurse2b replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The bones are not the hardest part, wait till you get to cardiovascular with its "wired men". For me personally, anatomy is the best part. I loved learning bones, muscles, heart, veins, etc....

  11. How to find out nclex pass rates

    MssNurse2b replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my state I found all that info on Board of Nursing website. It has every school and program with passing rates as well as how many people took the test each quarter. However, you don't know how...

  12. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your comment, gpa is really something I need to consider (in terms of private school especially). I also wanted to ask if employers actually looking at our overall gpa after we finish...

  14. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just googled it, very informative!

  15. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow girls, reality is hitting hard.. After all your comments I start wondering who actually goes to private schools as what are they hoping for. Average 18$/hour? Are you serious? To be clear, I know...

  16. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Using this calculator, my payment would be around 530$/month for 5 years (estimate of course). For 3 years the tuition will be around

  17. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your post. I will try to answers one-by-one 1. The job. As I stated before, it all depends on location. Where I live I know quite a few nurses (I volunteer at the hospital) and they all...

  18. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe it has a lot to do with the location. I live in the Midwest, in a small town. It is not my goal to move to a big, popular, but saturated state. I will be happy to move closer to the West...

  19. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The scholarship is renewable (every year) as long as students maintain 3.0-4.0 GPA I know a nurse who graduated with 72,000$ with her BSN because she took all of her classes in a 4-year

  20. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, faculty to student ratio in private schools is a big plus. I also think that some public schools have higher standards because they know there are students in line to take the places of those...

  21. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. I am doing my homework; including the fact that I am asking for advice here 2. I am not interested in LPN/ADN programs and I know they are much cheaper at CC 3. The private school I am interested...

  22. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, first of all, I am sure that if I work hard enough, I will be able to find a job, especially when it comes to health care. I do have a great support system, my husband stands behind me 100% and...

  23. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanx for your post. The passing rate for their ADN program is 86% (which is far from perfect, I realize that). However, the passing rate in the public school is 85% (BSN program). The only schools in...

  24. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! This is exactly what I have in mind. Our public school is mostly about community care, which is not what I was planning on

  25. Why NOT private??

    MssNurse2b replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have a good point here. I do want to go to grad school in the future and it might add more debt for me, unless the employer will pay for it (which is very common nowadays). I do realize that...
