   pixie0413 replied to pixie0413's topic in Government

   Well, I did sorta get an answer to my question. I spoke with a navy recruiter yesterday and she told me that without experience it is very difficult to get accepted into any military branch right now. My only hope is to keep trying as well as look ...

   pixie0413 replied to Lace_09's topic in Government

5. HESI Score

   pixie0413 replied to trustbirth's topic in General Students

   I scored over 1000. Pretty much though, the score only is an indicator of your chance of passing the NCLEX and with any score over 850 you have a good chance of passing. I'm just happy that the semester is over. I'm starting to understand why peo...

6. Is your loved one sick of hearing nursing stuff?

   pixie0413 replied to melisgood's topic in General Students

   It's not unfair if you monopolize the conversation w/ only you're concerns. You are excited, but nursing school really can be all encompasing. We must all remember there is a world outside of school!

7. Is your loved one sick of hearing nursing stuff?

   pixie0413 replied to melisgood's topic in General Students

   My partner says the same type of thing minus the curse words of course. He has little interest in nursing just as I have little interest in his particular job. So far we compromise by both trying to limit our evening dissusions in these areas. I'...

8. Self Study BSN ??

   pixie0413 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

   I really believe you can adapt to this. Oh, I do agree, if I don't know what the heck we're talking about before lecture... I'm lost 1/2 the time. Big thing is to prepare before, note what the teacher really highlights, and cover your basics. I us...

   I'm on the Med Surg Floor and will be doing at some point I think I'll be doing some surgical rotations. I'm with most of you guys though. The school really doesn't give us much in the way of advanced notice, but to their credit, they attempt to w...

11. First semester BSN..is it normal not to do anything in CLINICAL?

    pixie0413 replied to BrandiBooh's topic in General Students

    During our first clinicals, we were assigned a patient the day prior and expected to visit the hospital and study all the patient's information in addition to having all our care plans done before going to the hospital. Perhaps that would help if t...

    pixie0413 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not currently a nurse but going to school soon. I've worked in the retail buisness since 2000. I would be besides myself to have any of the scheduling that you all have as nurses. I have not had a Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve off since I wa...

    I'm very serious about getting into Psych nursing. I start school for it next August but I hadn't really heard how many patients are violent and need restraint. I'm currently a 100lb petite person and I know that currently I don't posses the power ...

14. Degree Advice

    pixie0413 replied to pixie0413's topic in Psychiatric

    I appreciate the advice so far. No, I don't currently hold any type of degree. I graduated high school and spent all of my time working my way up the "food chain" until I cleared a spot in management. The only problem was while I love the pay, I real...
