  1. Overwhelmed by books

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to NatashaDW's topic in General Students

    Also, I really liked Doc C's patho lectures and Hurst review for patho. They are simple but both nail the basics and saved me from many hours of reading for Patho. Podcast/ Doc C is free but Hurst is...

  2. Overwhelmed by books

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to NatashaDW's topic in General Students

    Well, I don't necessarily recommend my methods, BUT I had 400-600p of reading daily plus assignments, worked 30 hours a week, commuted 3 hours a day and had two kids and I really have to say, I did...

  3. MSNs that prepare you REALLY well as FNP or PMHNP? UND? Frontier? Others?

    ConcreteCowgirl posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have been searching allnurses but have come up short. I am sure the question has been asked before (many times over), but searching has been like herding cats, so hopefully you guys can help me. I...

  4. NEED ENCOURAGEMENT. Low Kaplan Scores, NCLEX in 2 weeks

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to keinahnah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also recommend UWORLD. I found their rationales just made more sense to me and I was able to see where I was going wrong (with Kaplan, I just couldn't see a trend). When I realized it was priority...

    Gotcha. Thank you for the info! I appreciate it immensely. Somehow I missed that

  7. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in the middle of a long stretch of work days and am hoping to save time. Anyone happen to know or have a link handy that details how HRSA prioritizes the loan repayment funds? Is there a hierarchy...

  8. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agreed! Unsustainable. I started applying to other positions (private hospitals) today. I decided I had to act as if I wouldn't get the award or that it wouldn't be nearly enough, otherwise I'd just...

  9. 2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to emmiecb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm wishing everyone finalist emails and a xanax mist in the interim. I'm losing my mind checking my email all day and waiting, waiting, waiting. head---->wall Plus, if a good offer isn't on the...

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Zeemud's topic in School, College Programs

    I totally and completely agree. Good luck to

  11. Nurse Corps Scholarship 2017-2018

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Zeemud's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, I'm just going off what HRSA says (they say it will, for sure, happen as part of the application process). I guess I assumed that not everyone checked all 3 of their credit bureaus when saying...

  12. Nurse Corps Scholarship 2017-2018

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Zeemud's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, my understanding is that a credit check does not ensure an offer but if there was no credit check then that indicates the individual is NOT a finalist. I'm not an expert. I'm just waiting with...

  13. How I PASSED 1st time 75Q

    ConcreteCowgirl posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I promised myself I'd submit a summary of what I did to pass because several of you guys did and it really helped me. I'm a read/write and visual learner and felt like I learned nothing in school...

  14. Paradoxical reaction to Benadryl?

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient Medications

    Benadryl makes my heart SERIOUSLY pound - as if it were going to break out of my rib cage and make a run for it. It's horrible. And it does appear to be related to how much coffee I drink, but I can't...

  15. Should I leave this racist town?

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have got to take care of yourself and your mental health. I know plenty of nurses who were miserable at their first job and had to, in lieu of preserving their mental and physical health, switch...

  16. Sexually transmitted case of Zika virus in Texas

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Horseshoe's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The aedes aegyti AND the aedes albopictus are BOTH natural vectors for the Zika virus. Aegypti are less common/ less broadly established BUT the albopictus are all over the eastern US and in large...

  17. NCBON Out of State Program Verification

    ConcreteCowgirl replied to Blossom7's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    YOU MUST SEND ALL YOUR COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS to the NCBON. I want to comment on this post (even though enough time has passed that the OP has likely resolved their issues) because it might save some...
