  1. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Food stamps are the most effective economic stimulus available. $1 in food stamps creates $1.76 in economic activity." There are a lot of eligibility requirements that I feel like people are unaware...

  2. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not saying they are uneducated because they disagree with me. I am saying they are uneducated because they choose to focus on one aspect of the situation, being food stamps. There are so many...

  3. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People are so quick to judge people's struggles without knowing the full story. Show some compassion. I would be extremely afraid to have any of you people as my nurses if I were a patient....

  4. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know for a fact that I needed it. If I needed that assistance, I am sure there are plenty of other people in the same boat as me. Every nursing school is different, maybe your school was easy enough...

  5. Nursing and the supernatural

    ahosoda replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I did some CNA work for a friend of a friend. Her dad was dying and on Hospice, but wanted to die in his home so he had aides come at certain points in the day to take care of him. His daughter didn't...

  6. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JulesA, I think you should reflect on your priorities. People who don't value mental health should not be in the medical field. Period. Stress affects health in so many ways. I would rather increase...

  7. Nursing AA vs. BSN Inquiry.

    ahosoda replied to elauffs's topic in General Students

    Do you plan on working in a hospital? If so, then it would actually be faster to continue on the BSN route. That will put you behind 6 months. RN to BSN programs usually take a year or more, so going...

  8. Applying to 10 different nursing programs?

    ahosoda replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    My question is, why apply to four safe schools? If they are all safe, just apply to the one you want the most out of those four. The other 3 are just a waste of time. Apply to one safe school and that...

  9. Need advice on practicum selection

    ahosoda posted a topic in General Students

    I have a few ideas in mind as to what to preference for practicum and just wanted some advice on what I should choose. I have loved pretty much every area of nursing that I have been in so far during...

  10. Getting experience before nursing school

    ahosoda replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    I would highly recommend going the CNA route out of the two. I noticed that everyone with CNA experience had a much smaller learning curve during the first semester of nursing school. But here's an...

  11. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree with people who say it is possible to work and do nursing school. I worked 40+ hrs a week as a CNA throughout my pre-reqs without any issues. It was stressful at times, but always...

  12. UW ABSN Prospective Student

    ahosoda replied to ler330's topic in Washington Nursing

    I went to the UW for my prereqs and UW School of Nursing was my first choice. I had a 3.95 GPA (darn you, microbio!). I was a CNA for a year at a retirement home. I also volunteered in an emergency...
