1. Failed Nursing Pathophysiology

   bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

   I ended the quarter with a D+ in my 3 credit Nursing Pathophysiology class that is not repeatable for credit. I just found out a few minutes ago and I'm not even upset about it because I feel like I gave up on getting anything more than a bachelor's ...

2. Is one C on my transcript going to kill me?

   bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys, I'm currently working on my BSN. So I just bombed a test because of how poorly I prepared for it. I've been getting B, B+ type of grades on my anatomy/physiology, org chem, and microbio courses. I have an A in all of my English, sociology,...

   Hey guys, I hope I can post this more personal question and ask you guys for advice! I'm a sophomore nursing student that hasn't even started clinicals yet. I self administer intramuscular injections with a 22g needle and I was hoping I can get advic...

4. Surviving a Quarter Schedule!? Help!

   bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello everyone, I attend a nursing school that follows the quarter schedule. This means that our academic school year is divided into four parts unlike the semester system which is divided into two. Our "syllabus week", midterms, and finals all occu...

5. Performing poorly in undergrad (BSN)

   bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello everyone, I'm currently in my second term of freshman year. I breezed through the first term with a decent 3.64 GPA. However, my easy going mentality wasn't enough to keep me performing well for this term. After midterm grades, I have a C in G...

6. I'm a freshman BSN student....

   bigdreams01 posted a topic in SRNA

   It's the end of my first semester of my BSN program. I'm screwed... My poor study habits from high school have cursed me with my love for cramming and last minute efforts at things. I'm an 18 year old BSN freshman but I would like to become a CRNA. ...

7. I'm a freshman nursing student with a B+ !!!

   bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

   Thanks for your help! I'll just explore different study strategies in hopes that I can get high grades on my final exams to bump my grades from a B+ to an A.

8. I'm a freshman nursing student with a B+ !!!

   bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

   Do you mind if I ask what type of grad school you went for? Was it nurse practitioner, CRNA, ...? Also, this B+ isn't final. It's the midterm grade which is just an estimate of where I stand so far. The final grade for the course will be finalized af...

   Excuse my teenage vernacular lol

10. I'm a freshman nursing student with a B+ !!!

    bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, this is going to sound way more dramatic than it needs to be, but I just need to know if I can "bounce back" from this. I've always been a lazy student in high school. I was involved in many activities such as the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, ...

11. Is my nursing school reputable? Job outlook? La Salle University

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the input & advice! I found that La Salle was not right for me and I decided to attend Drexel U. I love the opportunities they give nursing students through co-ops and their facilities are top notch

12. Is my nursing school reputable? Job outlook? La Salle University

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    I agree.. I got into Drexel's BSN program just a few days ago so I'm hoping to go there. Their NCLEX pass rate has always been above 96% so it's definitely a more well-rounded program. They also have co-op options which I'm very excited about. Unempl...

13. Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

    Yup! I got accepted into nursing schools and will be graduating in 2019 or 2020 if I take Drexel's extended co-op plan (which I might do anyway because it includes ICU internships that are helpful for my long term plan) But I really don't mind going ...

14. Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

    In fact, I'm pretty sure any student that's aiming to be a CRNA after Jan. 1, 2022 MUST have a doctoral degree.

15. Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

    I'd hate to be the newbie dragging the other ICU nurses down. Would it just be easier to get whatever job I can land first and then aim for finding an ICU job after a year? Getting fired from ICU as a new grad is the last thing I want on my CRNA scho...
