1. Can I hear some positive things about nursing school?

   hardcorae replied to rntoben2008's topic in General Students

   Honestly...as much as I've loved making new friends, the most rewarding part has been making a difference in the lives of others. When someone tells you how grateful they are for what you've done for them, whether it's acting as an advocate to get t...

   That's right- you start clinicals the first semester. Just apply early and be prepared to wait. If you want to get in for September, apply now and tell them that your prereqs will be complete by the end of the summer. http://www.lmregisnurse.org/cu...

   I had all As in my science prereqs and one or two Bs in math and english. They put a lot of emphasis on grades, but I also think they take work experience into heavy consideration. The only people I've heard of who had As & Bs and who didn't ge...

4. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

   hardcorae replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   This is the comment I submitted to the author: What a ridiculous headline for an article that places so much emphasis on the nursing profession. Is an Associate's no longer considered a college degree? Nearly 12% of registered nurses hold a Master'...

   It was a really long process. Pretty much everyone I've talked to has had the same experience. I sent in my application in early February of 2005. After following up with phone calls a couple of times, I was told that I'd hear back from them somet...

9. After graduation present.......

   hardcorae replied to gasgiver's topic in SRNA

   I'll be graduating from undergrad in 2007; my boyfriend will finish culinary school in 2006. After we both work for a year or two, we're going to take a trip around the world, volunteering along the way (hopefully in various medical related sites!) ...
