1. I hate nursing

   kristimarieSC replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

   I believe your answer is extremely clear. You've been misreble for 12 years, why would you dig your whole deeper by becoming an RN? If this was recent burn out, I would agree with the other posters about finding a different niche of nursing that woul...

2. Shoe recommendations

   kristimarieSC replied to kristimarieSC's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you all SO much!! I've done some research, and I think I'm going to take one poster's advice and attempt to invest in both. I'll just keep the other pair in a basket in my locker. And by the way, a few of you mentioned compression socks? I'm su...

3. Shoe recommendations

   kristimarieSC posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I just accepted my first nursing job in Labor and Delivery. While my scrubs are provided, I obviously need to purchase shoes. I had a pair of hideous white nursing clogs in nursing school that I got rid of, and am getting ready to invest in the first...

4. BRN (CA) application help

   kristimarieSC replied to kristimarieSC's topic in NCLEX

   No, mine was RN and online, but either way, if you haven't submitted the paperwork to them before, you don't have an established application number.

   Yup! I did the usual, passed in 75 but was certain I failed until I saw my license number! Haha I do t know why nursing students all do that!

8. Relocating to Rapid City

   kristimarieSC replied to kristimarieSC's topic in South Dakota

   Thanks so much for the reply! I'm definitely going to take your advice in that one! I'm a little terrified because I know I'll need a coat before I get there, but there isn't anywhere to buy a coat that is Midwestern winter caliber in my area! Well m...

   kristimarieSC posted a topic in South Dakota

   I'm a Southern California new grad, and am seriously considering relocating to Rapid City so my husband and I can be closer to his family. I would like to work in acute care, and my absolute dream would be L&D, Postpartum or anything related, as ...

10. High TEAS test scores, low GPA

    kristimarieSC replied to nurse2bnat94's topic in Pre-Nursing

    EVERY school is different. So contact your chosen programs and ask was the average GPA has been for the last few cohorts. Personally, I am in an ADN program at a southern California community college and usually we range from 3.8-3.9 GPA's consistent...

11. Im 17 and want to become an np

    kristimarieSC replied to morganj's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You are most definitely putting the cart before the horse!!! step 1. TURN YOUR GRADES AROUND. there is not use in wanting to be a nurse if you cannot buckle down and pass classes with A's. This being said, getting bad grades in high school won't end ...

12. PRN medication documentation

    kristimarieSC posted a topic in Student Assist

    My class has not focused on hand-written documentation because of the decreased need with click and scroll charting. I now have a clinical instructor who values hand written documentation and find myself at a loss. I need to submit an example of in-d...

13. Owi stupid mistake. Where to go from here?

    kristimarieSC replied to Sarahlin's topic in General Students

    Thank the lord you do not live in California! Basically if the program doesn't kick you out, the clinical sites can choose not to accept you and it takes 1-2 years with a lawyer to hash it out with the BRN so you can test. I dont want to beat you up ...

14. What Can't You Live Without?

    kristimarieSC replied to portx's topic in General Students

    1. Limiting caffeine!! (You heard me!!!) I really kept track of my caffeine and found I was in a better place than my coffee chugging classmates. Tea most of the time, no caffeine after 3, sleep and essential oils. I'm a month away, and I survived in...

15. Job to live off of while in nursing school?

    kristimarieSC replied to jojofutureRN's topic in General Students

    I hate to say it, but waitressing. I tried multiple times to change over to CNA to get experience and foot in the door, but the hours were long and I was making more in my 4-5h serving shift than I would in a 12h CNA shift. I'm stand-by, which means ...
