  1. Wearing skirts as a nurse

    The view that a woman should not wear pants isn't biblical. My parents had a belief that I disagreed with and they gave me an ultimatum to either practice their belief or leave. They did not expect me to leave but I calmly informed them I was taking ...
  2. Advice on creepy doctors?

    On behalf of gentlemen everywhere, I apologize. Knock that guy off his god-complex :)
  3. In my school, only pre-req courses are factored and only the higher of two attempts if the first attempt at the class is a fail. For me personally, I had failed some general classes that counted as a pre-req because I simply was not driven or focused...
  4. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Perhaps the requirements the school imposes on us includes the requirements listed by the various healthcare facilities. Stuff like immunization and insurance.
  5. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    It will be! I made it into a "page" instead of a "group". Bear with me as I work out kinks. PJ's internet is terrible! May have to fix it Up later.
  6. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Hey guys! Been really busy but I finally got around to making a page. This sounds silly but we are class of 2018, correct? I would also like a couple other students to moderate the page along with me so we can keep it updated with pictures, events, a...
  7. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Who would be down with a Facebook page for our graduating class? I saw the previous class did so and many people joined. Perhaps it would be a little easier to ask questions/get answers on a FB page rather than on here. Plus, we could invite friends ...
  8. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    I'm in! Okay, now who on this thread will volunteer to pay my tuition? Looks like my extra hours at work will be put towards a good cause this year. *Prepares for no life* Oops, student life*
  9. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    "Good whiskey, bourbon, wine... As a treat a couple of times a week. Dark chocolate ice cream from this brand that is amazingly smooth. Can't resist. French bread toast with butter and Nutella." Now that's pleasure!! Cheesecake is usually wonderful
  10. The FIT Nurse

    Some people can't take humor. And I'd love a pie for posting on a public forum; why would that be crossing a major line? On topic: how many hours of sleep do you forgo to do things you don't really need to do? (Facebook, games, Allnurses) Sleep is so...
  11. The FIT Nurse

    Woah, can you stop being a big meanie and actually contribute to the topic that many have now moved on to discuss? Only meanies want to hear from a "Crusty Old Bat" anyway so perhaps you should see your way to reddit where people would love to hear y...
  12. The FIT Nurse

    Holy canoli people are sensitive. Don't be down on yourself for this; nothing you said was malicious. And for those who literally can not reach a level of health that is better than your current one through absolutely anything, you're obviously exem...
  13. Working Out 6- 7 days a week

    Imagine working an 18 hour shift and having NO pain on the bottom of your feet! Now stop imagining and look down at the gut protruding over your waistline under your shirt. Squeeze it. Grab it in your hands and pull it up and down like you're Adam Sa...
  14. Work full time in the summer. 3 months can net around 2k easily!
  15. Give an example of a difficult decision you've made

    My hardest decision(s): Responding to someone in the way I want to vs. how I should for both of us to be, ultimately, happy. It's a conscious effort; people really irritate me sometimes! :3 Especially myself xD (Jk, I love me)
  16. My Nursing Identity Crisis

    I am only a student, but I know there are nursing positions where you may not have to worry about being treated so badly. Look into administration or perhaps further for NP or CRNA. I hope some more experienced members can lend you some better insigh...
  17. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Had mine yesterday. The panel members were nice and professional. The other interviewees also remarked about how comfortable the interviewers made them feel, so don't stress. Good luck, ladies and gents.
  18. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Nope! Going for Thursday, Feb. 19th at 8:30. That way I'll have no one to live up to and only the standard to set. Plus, I love the morning time!
  19. Anyone dating a med-student?

    Has any one ever considered a dentist? My girlfriend is in her 3rd year of dental school and she's THE best ever. She said a lot of the students who go on to be oral surgeons easily develop the "god-complex", but I have noticed that a lot of her frie...
  20. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Hey Emjk, Check out this previous thread for the spring semester: https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/lsu-bsn-spring-914377-page8.html Read the next page as well. I have yet to get an email either so at this point we should assume they're si...
  21. Muses of a Male Nurse

    The male part IS easy! All I had to do was go through this weird thing called puberty; suddenly, a bunch of hormones made me wear red plaid shirts and chop down huge trees with an ax! Sadly, testosterone doesn't do too much for my academic life
  22. I have a retired CRNA in my Theater class and she said that a CRNA could attain a high level of autonomy. Not a list of 5 but I am still a pre-req student and don't know enough Hope this helped!
  23. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Good Evening Kheng! Check this other thread out: https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/lsu-bsn-fall-966646.html I think it will help settle your nerves :) Remember, everyone who has minimum qualifications gets an interview and no one has yet b...
  24. 16 year old future Nurse,Help?

    Oh now I understand! Sounds like you have a pretty awesome plan. As long as the courses you're taking will be accepted by the nursing school you plan to attend then I see no drawbacks. Nothing wrong with exiting HS with all your pre-reqs done! :^)
  25. 16 year old future Nurse,Help?

    Clarification: An AA is an Arts degree in nursing? I Googled it but got back American Airlines, hehe. But if it is a degree then it sounds like a lot of extra classes you don't need. My school only requires 34 credit hours of pre-reqs which is way le...
