  1. any nursing programs with no waitlist and with housing anywhere in the United States

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

    There are a lot of schools that do not have a wait list. Perhaps I am wrong, but I would even say that most do not have a wait list outside the list created each acceptance cycle for alternates. What...

  2. Abuse at school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    Are you kidding me?! I do have tips. However, they violate the TOS, so I think I will just keep them to myself. Good luck to you in your future

  3. Abuse at school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    I don't understand your point. Do you believe that patronizing people will result in the answer you want? No one here is "scared" to answer these questions. Abuse exists in all professions....

  4. Abuse at school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    Yeah....I am guessing it is NOTHING like the Sandusky case. You should feel ashamed for even making that

  5. Abuse at school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    Lots and Lots of lack of detail. We cannot advise you if you cannot articulate your specific

  6. Inherit the Wind redux

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes yes, but not necessarily. What if, given one's mix of skills and work available in one's area, that is the most feasible job? What if that is the job that provides flexible enough hours to...

  7. How about nephrology and dialysis

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to sunny time's topic in General Students

    At least be upfront about the fact that you are doing research for a paper rather than posting under the guise of helping new nurses think about different types of nursing opportunities. if you had...

  8. Nursing salary and buying a home?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to applesbananas's topic in General Nursing

    One would think that after the housing market crashed in 08, people would have more sense about buying within their means and padding their savings account instead. We bought our most recent house...

  9. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have spent years working on and administering/supporting PC's, but I am a Mac user at home. You simply cannot beat a Mac for stability and reliability. It is worth it to me to spend the extra...

  10. Peer-reviewed sources on kidneys main functions?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Vak89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did you write your essay without reliable sources...? Try using your college library database search. They should have an online database that lets you search different journal databases. In the...

  11. How to spend this summer

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jwalker03's topic in General Students

    Also, engaging additional senses or a motor component to your learning may actually help you retain the material better! It is actually one of the techniques used for some children with learning...

  12. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would this be your only computer? I think you might find it to be too small for doing research and writing papers. However, you could purchase a monitor and a keyboard to hook it up to so that you...

  13. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with

  14. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Roser, I am not attacking you nor am I attacking ADN nurses; I am advocating for the nursing profession. As I stated earlier, my opinion is based on my husband's experience as a hospital executive,...

  15. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    It is a measured statement given posts I have read right here on AN, ADN nurse friend experiences, my husband's experience as a hospital executive, and based on a recent grad school project requiring...

  16. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    It is not a ridiculous allocation of resources unless your only ambition in life is to be a receptionist or admin assistant. However, I find that to rarely be the case when one has completed a 4-year...

  17. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly did not say I felt it appropriate - I simply stated that it is becoming increasingly

  18. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The educational requirements are increasing in just about every other professional field and bachelor degrees are becoming the norm. Heck, many companies even expect that their admin assistants and...

  19. New Job

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the need for positive feedback is universal and not specific to the fact that you are male. It sounds as if you had a less than stellar manager. I am sorry for your experience and I am...

  20. Advice please, on deciding on a school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Given the competitiveness of nursing school, I would not limit your options; apply to all 3. You can decide which one to go to if you are accepted. Good

  21. Is cheating a double standard?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    There is absolutely no way possible that OP is being serious. OP is amusing him/herself. To what end, i am not sure, but we keep taking the bait. I'm

  22. How do I become an RN by going into nursing right after high school?

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

    Hi Grier - It depends on the path you take. You can apply to 4-year nursing programs right out of high school. You will spend your first two years doing general studies and completing your...

  23. Is cheating a double standard?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Apparently my critical thinking skills are on hiatus, as I fail to see what EXACTLY your point is here...? I feel as if some crucial facts are not going to change by dwelling on them: 1. It was...

  24. Is cheating a double standard?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    OP, I am not sure why you are opening this conversation up again when - based on the information I was able to glean from your previous thread - your dismissal was 3 years ago. Why are revisiting this...

  25. How often do you see/ deal with vomit as a nurse?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Students

    Aspiring, you clearly have a lot of questions about nursing. May I suggest that, rather than peppering this forum with one thousand and one questions, you contact a local hospital about job shadowing...
