  1. Neumann UniversityTraditional Nursing 2014

    Alright so I had my meeting with the academic advisor at Neumann and I will not be going there (but this is my choice). First off, they sent me a letter that I would be starting nursing classes in Fall 2014. Couldnt wait to start. Then I go talk to m...
  2. Clinical advice- How can I help?

    during my CNA clinicals, toward the end of the shift we would start to twiddle our thumbs because there wasn't much else to do- so we would clean underneath the patients fingernails, give manicures, get them involved in activities, etc. This was at a...
  3. Neumann UniversityTraditional Nursing 2014

    I've been wondering the same thing. I just got accepted to the part-time program at Neumann for Fall 2014. I've been doing some research on this website about the school and I have only seen one person post a negative comment on how the staff doesn't...
  4. Planning before nursing school starts...

    I start clinicals this Fall and am trying to mentally prepare myself now! I just found out that I have to take a nursing class during the summer, Fundamentals to Professional Nursing. So I definitely plan on taking a week vacation sometime relatively...
  5. Neumann University Nursing Fall 2013

    I've been accepted to Neumann's part-time BSN program and I start this Fall also! I saw in the acceptance package that we have to take Nursing 205 this summer. I'm curious to see what times they offer this class and what this class is all about. I th...
  6. Can't get into nursing school!

    thank you so much to all of those that have given great advice and mostly, supportive encouragement! I am just frustrated (as one posted mentioned) and am certainly NOT trying to knock anyone that got in/who have a 4.0 GPA. I'm only expressing my fru...
  7. Can't get into nursing school!

    Hey ya'll, so here is my dilemma. I am a pre-nursing student, all of my pre-reqs are done and I'm ready to apply to nursing school. However I talked to the advisor at my school and was told that there is a slim chance I will get in. (I actually appre...
  8. Cost of BSN

    Is this the total cost, between housing, food, books, supplies, etc? I still think thats a lot of money and you could get just as good of an education elsewhere for a LOT less money. Why burden yourself with that amount of debt after graduation, if y...
  9. Gay male nurse concern about male patient care

    My thoughts exactly! I would just make it all about the patient. As long as you're professional, I don't foresee any issues. For example, when I am in the doctors office, I am thinking about my health/what I'm there for and what the doctor/nurse are ...
  10. I don't know if i can do this

    Just you sharing this story tells me how GREAT of a nurse you would be. I work in a nursing home and there are too many nurses who just don't genuinely care. I'm not sure why they chose nursing as a profession but you clearly have a lot of compassion...
  11. A&P II Notetaking Tips

    A lot of my instructors do powerpoints and I, too, like other posters suggested, print them in the "handout" form (3 slides per page) so that I can make my own notes on the right hand side of the paper. I just recently took Applied Clinical Math and ...
  12. I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    Although I'm not a nurse yet, I work in a nursing home, so I get to see first hand the life of a LTC nurse everyday and they are definitely not just doing ADLs. I think thats a huge misconception by a lot of people. Obviously they arent doing what a ...
  13. Schedule in Nursing Program

    I did anticipate some of this but some if it I did not because my companys rules for the tuition assistance have been changing as well as other aspects of my job/school. Luckily, I have pretty understanding bosses that are trying to help me figure ou...
  14. Schedule in Nursing Program

    in response to the shifts at my work: i work in rehab at a skilled nursing facility, I used to do transport but now am doing all of the therapy scheduling so its a lot of office work. I am required to work normal business hours but am a wee bit flexi...
  15. Schedule in Nursing Program

    Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!!! It truly means SO much to me to hear from others that have gone through/are going through the same thing as me! I would definitely choose nursing, no doubt in my mind whatsoever! You've given me som...
