    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Sara Lindsey's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the point of GrnTea's advice was to suggest you utilize the wealth of information already available to you with a quick search. Rather than spending time waiting for an overwhelming response...

  11. What do you think about managers and employees being friends on Facebook?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Facebook is for friends and families - people you can be your non-politically correct self around. LinkedIn is the sanitized social networking site for co-workers, managers, general...

  12. Do nursing programs run a credit report check?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to akg713's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some jobs actually do run credit checks - although they are typically for more executive or financial positions. The ideas behind doing so are to ensure that, if you are handling money or finances...

  13. BSN rant/inquire

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to mw1179's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Those classes are basic, general education requirements and every student who earns a bachelor's degree must take them. It is not a way for universities to make more money. You require a specific...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    I think we can all agree that the concepts we learned in A&P are important in nursing school. No one is debating that. I took A&P 4 years ago. I have also forgotten the details of most of...

  17. Any CrossFit-ing nursing students out there?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Students

    Where are you going with your question, lifestudentrn? Are you genuinely curious or are you jumping on the "CrossFit is dangerous"

  18. Any CrossFit-ing nursing students out there?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Students

    Yay, Puppylv! Congrats on drinking the kool-aid. I have been CrossFitting for over 3 years. I used to be a distance runner and ran 2-3 marathons per year, but that just got too hard on my knees....

  19. How do YOU prepare for a new semester of nursing school?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to claire43's topic in General Students

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to cdouilleny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to mod90atv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Shan801's topic in General Students

  23. Is it to bad to fix?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to brinax3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check into your school's retake policy. Check to see how the schools you are applying to weigh GPA. Regardless, C's in the sciences are going to make acceptance to nursing school more difficult. If...
