1. I don't know if nursing is for me...pls help

   Britgirl1 replied to almag2010's topic in General Students

   You are welcome! :) It will all work out for the best, don't worry! If you don;t have a gut feeling, maybe just try and picture yourself as a nurse and see if it makes you happy. Also think about how clinicals made you feel-- were you excited to show...

2. Nursing Textbooks

   Britgirl1 replied to Ludim's topic in General Students

   I used bigwords.com to buy my textbooks. You search each book you need by title or isbn and then add it to your "bookbag" and when you're done and ready to checkout it will search the entire internet for you to find the cheapest prices on each book. ...

3. Help!!Does anyone know of BSN programs that will accept failed nursing school students

   Britgirl1 replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in General Students

   If you are currently attending a community college, I would directly contact other local/in-state community colleges and seeing if they accept transfer students.

4. Is this crazy?

   Britgirl1 replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in LPN-RN

   Though it may be tough financially to afford to attend an accelerated BSN program, in the end you would end up making more as a BSN--RN than you would as an AAS-RN. It would also allow you more opportunities to specialize.

5. I don't know if nursing is for me...pls help

   Britgirl1 replied to almag2010's topic in General Students

   Hey! I am in the exact same situation except for I failed clinicals in my first semester instead of second. In my program (a 2-semester LPN program) you get unadmitted for failing even one class and have to get permission to re-enter the program. Tho...

6. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

   Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

   PA-_RN87, before I was in nursing I was actually majoring in Molecular Biology and did just fine. I do pretty well academically, the only thing I struggled in with nursing was the clinicals. Maybe it's just not for me. Maybe I should be stuck in a la...

7. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

   Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

   So be it. I've decided what I am going to do. And I didn't include many details on purpose, because I'm not going to do that with a bunch of strangers. Take Care, Britgirl1

8. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

   Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

   I really don't think it's for me. I was unhappy before the whole clinical situation went down which is why I think I chose to skip those clinical days. I am totally happy with my decision, and getting everyone's insight on this forum has really helpe...

9. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

   Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

   It's just an idea at this point, but I definitely agree with you lol. I may get a degree in a hard science or something I know I can get employed with, and then if I decide to do so I could go back to grad school for psych. Thank you for leaving a ki...

10. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    You make a good point. I am going to pursue the rest of my bachelors degree in something else, probably psych so I can get my master's. The whole thing is that I do know that I chose to fail my clinicals. Deep down I wasn't happy with nursing, even t...

11. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    I was just referring to the answers I am getting on this post. They all seem to be very judgemental and in compassionate. I am looking for help, not hate. I have spoken to my dean, I do understand my mistakes in full, and I do understand how it may s...

12. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Britgirl1 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    I know it seems like I may have chosen to fail my clinicals, but a lot more happened behind the scenes that I did not put in summary of the situation above. It has a lot more to do with the way I was being treated than how good of a nurse I could be....

13. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Britgirl1 posted a topic in General Students

    So I just finished my first semester of a 2-semester long Practical Nursing program. I got A's and B's in all of my classes (Even Pharm!) except for my one- my first clinical rotation. It is graded pass/fail and my instructor gave me a fail. I feel ...

14. NEED ADVICE! Which position should I accept?

    Britgirl1 replied to kelly22790's topic in New Nurse

    The Ortho floor job sounds best! It has a combination of several specialties as well as high-stress situations. In the future when you eventually try to get a job in Pediatrics (which combines many specialties), I think it wold look good on your resu...

15. Taking A&P 2, micro and, intro to Chem in one semester

    Britgirl1 replied to Mayahajj's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Depending on your dedication and how busy you are it could be do-able. However, my advice to you is not to do it. Both A&P 2 and Chem are very difficult classes and your stress levels would be very high. I think it's more important to take your ...
