  1. Hi I am starting LPN nursing school in Oct this fall and I am overweight, My question

    MB37 replied to tiffany311's topic in General Nursing

    If there's any way that you can make yourself, cook real food, complete with vegetables. Invest in some of those gladware type containers, make leftovers on purpose, and take lunch in to...

  2. A school with no wait list-Have you heard of it?

    MB37 replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    You might need to take a few more classes to raise your GPA if you don't want to have to get on a wait list. It seems like most schools either go off a merit-based no wait system OR they do a...

  3. different diagnosis

    MB37 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    My husband made me go sit in the ER with him all day a couple years ago, b/c he thought he had appendicitis. Diagnosis? Gas. Rx:

  4. Saleries in central Florida

    MB37 replied to carrieUK's topic in Florida Nursing

    I moved here from Louisiana after Katrina, and nurses there average about $60,000/year. Before the storm, you could buy a small but decent house in an OK neighborhood in New Orleans for under...

  5. Memory is horrible how am I ever going to make it

    MB37 replied to jewelshouse's topic in General Students

    Um, you don't have to cook or clean. I quit cleaning altogether when NS started - if my husband wants a clean house, he can do it himself. I still cooked, but I assigned him at least one night a week...

  6. Dont move to florida

    MB37 replied to skuterkomputer rn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm a student in FL, and it's not my fault! We moved from LA after Katrina when my husband got transferred as a direct result of the storm. Barring him quitting his job and finding something new, with...

  7. Have you ever heard of this? UGH!!!!

    MB37 replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a student, and just took patho, so we just learned about Kuru a month or 2 ago. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I read that article, so I just dug out my notes. Per my...

  8. I Found A Ns With Noo Waiting List

    MB37 replied to ladycool's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Um...my accredited nursing school in the mainland US has no wait list, neither do most other BSN programs. We have a 96% NCLEX pass rate, and are public and inexpensive. It is, however, extremely...

  9. Anyone here drink a can of soda a day?

    MB37 replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    You can eat nothing but raw vegetables for the rest of your life and get hit by a bus walking to the store - or die of e. coli from the spinach. This wasn't a study meant to determine causation or...

  10. financial aid advice

    MB37 replied to araujojr's topic in General Nursing

    Have you already been denied loans? My EFC was more than my estimated cost of attendance, plus it's a second bachelor's, and I still received enough loans to cover tuition and books with a little left...

  11. Anatomy and physiology HELP NURSING SCHOOL

    MB37 replied to araujojr's topic in General Students

    OP - do you still have your book? If not, try to find an older edition of any college level A&P for review. I just finished my first semester of NS, and ours includes Pharm and Patho. Both of our...

  12. Staying Up!!

    MB37 replied to Hydakins's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, studying for NS should be focused a little more on quality than quantity. I like to switch subjects frequently when I study, which keeps me from getting too far behind on any one, and helps...

  13. Improving Patient Satisfaction

    MB37 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a legitimate question to ask in an interview? When I'm a new graduate nurse next year, is there a tactful way to ask my interviewers about Press-Gainey and scripting without appearing to be...

  14. Improving Patient Satisfaction

    MB37 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a nursing student, but I've been in the bar/restaurant business for several years...also at one point worked as a telemarketer (for my school's alumni fund at least, not selling you...

  15. Hospitals and pay around Miami

    MB37 replied to future_nurse_Alex's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bad thing about having no state income tax: employers use it to justify paying you

  16. Possible to do 2 clinicals in 1 semester?

    MB37 replied to donlind's topic in General Students

    Can you ask a counselor at your school? Different states may have different requirements as to what order everything can be taken in. I'm in an accelerated program that doesn't "accelerate" until the...

  17. How many hours do you study each day?

    MB37 replied to olufemi254's topic in General Students

    I wonder if people define "study" differently. I study about 40 hours/week, but that includes the time I spend reading the chapters, typing my lecture notes, and doing

  18. LPN or MN? Thoughts please......

    MB37 replied to runningredsfan's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on your circumstances and what you can afford, but I would always go for the higher degree in the shorter time span, as long as both schools are accredited, have decent pass rates, etc....

  19. Financial Aid NEed Advice plz

    MB37 replied to araujojr's topic in General Nursing

    Just FYI - My EFC was more than the estimated cost of attendance to my school, and actually a fairly ridiculous number - it was about half of our aftertax income from last year, when we were both...

  20. I failed my driving test! Venting...

    MB37 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I failed my first one at 16, then passed the second time - on a day they had cancelled school for snow (and in Minnesota that takes a lot). I never owned a car, and I forgot to renew my license after...

  21. Nursing School Orientation. What to wear!?

    MB37 replied to MegNeoNurse's topic in General Students

    I wore jeans to mine with a halfway nice top, and I was overdressed. It's school. Unless your program has a dress code, anything nicer than sweats and a holey T-shirt is probably OK (and that's what...

  23. do you make your study plan from your objectives?

    MB37 replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    All As in my prereqs and through 8/10 weeks of semester 1 - haven't looked at them yet. I think the objectives in our powerpoints are actually taken from the book's publisher, and I don't see how...

  24. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    MB37 replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    We've had 11 people drop pharm so far our of 115, and we don't have our HESI and final for 2 more weeks (combined 40% of our grade). However, some may have left the program entirely and about 15...

  25. chronic pain patients: pain in the behind to care for

    MB37 replied to Tadpole's topic in General Nursing

    Wanted to throw something in - I'm only a student, but we have been tested on this topic repeatedly. Addiction, dependence, and tolerance are three very different words. Tolerance is when an increased...
