1. Help plz! Will it be worth it in the end?

   djksjdalksjf replied to Ca.nurse2b101's topic in General Students

   General advice is only to take on as much student debt as you will make your FIRST year working out of college. If you're going out of state anyway, apply for out of state ADN programs at community colleges and just go wherever you get in. It will b...

2. Quarter System to Semester?

   djksjdalksjf replied to MJ 0990's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I transferred semester credits to a quarter system. I actually received 4.5 credits for 3 credit classes. The only issue I would see happening is if it were transferring in the opposite direction. You should be fine!

3. My ex-boyfriend will be in the same nursing cohort as me next fall.

   djksjdalksjf replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

   Thank you both for the insight. I've obviously never done nursing clinicals before (I did do CNA clinicals, and we were a very small group and had to work together a lot, but it seems like this will be different). that put my mind at ease for sure.

4. My ex-boyfriend will be in the same nursing cohort as me next fall.

   djksjdalksjf posted a topic in General Students

   I'm probably worried for no reason, but it's something that is stressing me out about nursing school. Last year, I met a guy in my nursing pre reqs. He made moves and we started casually dating. I had very strong feelings for him that he ended up jus...

   djksjdalksjf replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

   You say minimal side-effects? I work in the ED in Oregon where it is legal. We get cyclic vomiters coming in constantly (there is at least one every night, many per week) who are literally only vomiting from smoking weed. Doctors discharge orders are...

   djksjdalksjf replied to kanja's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't have to read the whole post to answer your question. Don't do it!!!

7. Is the Universe telling me something?

   djksjdalksjf replied to ambie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Only you can say for sure. However, math and chemistry are pretty important to nursing. Maybe try an ADN program that allows you to retake pre requisites. When you failed your classes, did you seek out tutoring early on? Were you putting real effort ...

8. Am I allowed to have tattoos as a Pediatric Nurse?

   djksjdalksjf replied to IconicJay's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you're going to be advance practice you can pretty much do whatever you want, obviously you would not want anything offensive. I work with doctors and PAs with tattoos, I don't see any reason why a NP couldn't have one. I currently work in a hosp...

9. How many prerequisites Did you take at once?

   djksjdalksjf replied to ChristinaVL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chemistry, because my grade didnt count so I didn't take it as seriously and didn't read the text as much as I should have. I found anatomy incredibly easy, the physiology side of it was a bit more difficult, but mostly because it was a lot of chemi...

10. How many prerequisites Did you take at once?

    djksjdalksjf replied to ChristinaVL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Take Chemistry before you take the others. Then take 2 at a time. That's my recommendation.

11. Does nursing school matter?

    djksjdalksjf replied to hooplah's topic in General Students

    Check with the BON in the state you plan to move to that you will be allowed to take the NCLEX there after having after having attended that school with that curriculum. Based on what you said this is not a school I would attend. But if the BON appr...

12. Should I Keep CNA job?

    djksjdalksjf replied to Krisann2014's topic in General Students

    The CNA experience is valuable to have going into your first semester of nursing school. That's really it. I can't speak for everyone but every CNA I know who keeps working during nursing school only does so because they can't afford not to. If you ...

13. Should I Keep CNA job?

    djksjdalksjf replied to Krisann2014's topic in General Students

    I guess it depends. Do you want to work at that hospital once you finish school? If so, maybe I would stay at least a full year if you haven't already. But really it's up to you. If you leave, make sure you give good notice and do your best on all yo...

14. A&P/Microbiology.. Help!!!!!

    djksjdalksjf replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in General Students

    Oh and Hank Green has an anatomy and physiology YouTube series that's pretty good.

15. A&P/Microbiology.. Help!!!!!

    djksjdalksjf replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in General Students

    Wow if the professor is advising you not to get the text they're taking away the opportunity to even teach yourself. I got an A in the full sequence of AnP. I went to lecture, read the full chapters assigned, and went to office hours when I didn't g...
