  2. Is It Hard to Go From Psych RN to Other Specialty?

    PHhopeful posted a topic in Psychiatric

  6. TATTOOS!!

    PHhopeful replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Nursing

    I think it definitely depends on where you work, too. Feeling out the culture is important--and deferring to the the employee handbook. My employer practically prides itself in the diverse body art of...

  7. TATTOOS!!

    PHhopeful replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Nursing

    No, they won't. One poor classmate of mine had to get her enormous lower arm tattoo removed during nursing school, though, so she wasn't banished to long sleeves forever. Just please don't be one of...

  8. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    PHhopeful replied to baleen's topic in General Students

  9. Getting accepted into a CSU nursing program with just below a 3.0?

    PHhopeful replied to samiraa's topic in California Nursing

    Prerequisite GPA is super important. As the above poster commented, the last 60-90 credit hours may be mostly what schools consider, so if your grades are improving, that might be sufficient. I'd also...

  10. Student Loan Debt

    PHhopeful replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    I obtained my associate's degree and paid out of pocket. Unfortunately, my grades weren't great, so as a non-traditional student I returned to school for two years at a private college to get my...

  14. HPSA Score for HRSA?

    PHhopeful replied to PHhopeful's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the reply--I'm unfortunately still confused! In my interpretation, the qualifications are different for NURSE Corps vs. NHSC. According to the flyer, NHSC requires "Minimum of two years...

    I recently received the HRSA NURSE Corps Scholarship and will be graduating in May. I am having the hardest time understanding/interpreting HPSA scores on the data warehouse website. I know we must...

  17. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    PHhopeful replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    I agree the OP asked a good question, and I also concur that you should choose a hairstyle that is easy to maintain and that looks natural (be it blonde or brown). I actually feel uncomfortable in my...

  18. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    PHhopeful replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College Programs

    *Also, OP, just checked out your profile. Have you considered applying to UNC Chapel Hill, since you're from NC? Sounds like CU would currently be out of state for you (as would UF). I'd strongly...

  19. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    PHhopeful replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College Programs

    Perhaps it's because I'm favorable toward CU, but I really don't understand the draw of either DSN or Regis. I was accepted to all of the schools I applied to, but CU was by far the best option:...

  22. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    PHhopeful replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    OP, you are by no means doomed. I had a 2.9 GPA when I graduated from community college, and a 3.5 when I graduated with my first Bachelor's degree. That averaged out to a 3.2. I attributed my 2.9 GPA...
