    Graduated 2 years ago- no job

    LDAthleteNurse replied to alyg0910's topic in General Nursing

    This is excellent advice, OP. I would strongly advise taking heed to it. Life happens and sometimes we can't always put ourselves in the most optimal of positions to succeed, but you do what you can...

    Sistah I can tell you have been through alot. But I can also tell that you are extremely resourceful and have made a way out of no way plenty of times! I think it was a great show of strength and...

    LDAthleteNurse replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Mann I HATE those kinds of classes. I always opted to take them online because the exams were easier and they were super easy A's. My advice to you: take as many of your non-nursing pre requisites...

    Student Loan Debt

    LDAthleteNurse replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    Girl I NEVER knocked you for getting your LVN. I actually wish I would have gotten my LVN first. I likely would have been done with nursing school a year or 2 sooner and I would debt free at the age...

    Student Loan Debt

    LDAthleteNurse replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    BUTTT it's not. ANDDD were not being paid $100k. Don't get me wrong, nurses make GOOD money. After my bills, I have an excess of about 2k a month. That's great money. But it's still not enough to be...

    Once again, get out of your feelings. It isn't that deep. I said what I said and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the advice I gave. If I can deter a student of making a mistake that they would...

    Student Loan Debt

    LDAthleteNurse replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    A BSN will never ever be worth 100k. Ever. A MSN neither. I graduated with a BSN & 22k in student loans. It will be paid off before I turn 26, God willing. You got to be the world's biggest sucker...

    Back to school for a non-nursing degree?

    Do RNs do a lot of heavy lifting?

    LDAthleteNurse replied to TimTamJimJam's topic in General Nursing

    Is there alot of heavy lifting in L&D. I'm having a cosmetic surgical procedure done that will require me to not life heavy for at least a month. I don't want to have to take off that long for...

    LDAthleteNurse replied to NewOBNurse2015's topic in General Nursing

    GPA isn't everything so don't think that just because you don't have a 4.0 that you don't have a chance. I'm pretty sure my measly 2.9 beat out many 4.0s. All about your impressions on your
