    Key Lime Pie replied to Cal45's topic in General Students

  2. Spring 2015 MANE programs

    Key Lime Pie replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I got a letter from Century today. I knew it was way too early for an acceptance letter, so I started freaking out. I was sure it was something saying I messed up my application and I would have to...

  3. Do you think it will be beneficial?

    Key Lime Pie replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I won't be starting nursing school until January of 2015 and I just bought an NCLEX book at a used book store. It may not be the most recent edition, but at least it can help me get used to the...

  4. Nursing school & Nightshifts?

    Key Lime Pie replied to Jcman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a choice in my work schedule. It's pretty random. I always work every other weekend (Friday-Sunday) and then I have 2 more shifts each pay period that could be any days during the week. I...

  5. Nursing school & Nightshifts?

    Key Lime Pie replied to Jcman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've worked 20 hours a week on the night shift while doing my prereqs, and I've had no trouble maintaining a 4.0 GPA. I'm planning on working the same shift/hours throughout nursing school. I really...

  6. How much education do you plan on receiving?

    Key Lime Pie replied to daetor2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to a local community college that is partnered with a large university, so I'll get my ADN and then immediately tranfer to the university and get my BSN 3 semesters later. I currently work...

  7. Spring 2015 MANE programs

    Key Lime Pie replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

  10. White Shoes for clinicals

    Key Lime Pie replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    I love the Anywear brand shoes. I personally wear the Exacts, but there are several different styles. They are way more comfortable than the Danskos I had before, and they're a fraction of the price....

  12. Spring 2015 MANE programs

  13. Spring 2015 MANE programs

    Key Lime Pie replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

  15. Anatomy II

    Key Lime Pie replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also taking A&P 2 over the summer. It's going to be a busy 8 weeks, but I'm finishing up A&P 1 this week with a 92%, so I'm not too worried about it. After that, all I have left is micro...

  18. Employer tuition reimbursement question

    Key Lime Pie replied to MSofia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My hospital provides tuition reimbursement, but in order to get the money you have to show them a receipt that shows how much you actually paid. I was going to apply for it, but my Pell Grant covers...

  19. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    Key Lime Pie replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always thought I wanted to work in L&D, but working there as a CNA has made me realize I don't like it as much as I thought I would. Right now I'm leaning towards postpartum or peds. Maybe PICU...

    Key Lime Pie replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for those stats. I'll be applying to a couple MANE programs for spring 2015, so it's nice to see the actual numbers. If things stay about the same, I should have no problem getting into a...

    Key Lime Pie replied to nowayis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on so many factors (location, type of facility, experience). I started at $15/hr plus benefits at a hospital in Minnesota, with no experience. Almost 4 years later I'm up to

  22. What is your quote or mantra when it gets tough?

    Key Lime Pie replied to Lola Lou's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. Online Prereqs

    Key Lime Pie replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took all of my non-science prereqs online. I like being able to work independently and on my own schedule. As long as you are motivated and are able to stay on top of things without going to class...

  24. As a Nursing Student, Will I be Paying off Loans Forever?

    Key Lime Pie replied to Brian's topic in General Students
