   brittany_micah posted a topic in New Nurse

   I graduated in May of this year and was a Student Nurse Associate on a pulmonary unit all through nursing school. But I had my heart set on working in cardiac or ER. So you can imagine how stoked I was in June when I got an offer on the Cardiac floor...

   brittany_micah replied to perfectpractice's topic in General Students

   I too have had one of these instructors. She was known to test hard on our drugs before we gave them, I'm talking about mechanism of action, every side effect, how to counter act it and on and on and not for just 3-5 drugs, I had 35 drugs to memorize...

   brittany_micah replied to Stasi's topic in Student Assist

   I was in the same situation. I dont know if your state has head start, but I would check into that. Other than that...I had to take out student loans last yr and this yr to cover childcare. It sucks and yes I have to pay it back but it's my only opti...

7. So sad

   brittany_micah replied to CHRISTINE HEARTS's topic in Student Assist

   Accept it and move on!! No one expects you to be perfect on your first nsg test! They are hard and different from any other kind of test. Learn what you missed, meet with your teacher and see if they can offer any help and study different next time. ...

8. How to organize you work as a new nursing student

   brittany_micah replied to sdupont4931's topic in General Students

   I agree with the above post. I bought the bigger 1.5-2 inch binders, 4 of them (for each semester) during the semester I used one for each class then merged it all together including lab stuff. I have them all stored and saved and have my careplans i...

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee

    I feel your pain, I've been waiting for a full week (a message every day) for financial aid with no returned calls. Thats great Pellissippi is better in that aspect, I'm sure they are busy in their nursing division getting everything together. At RS...

14. Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee

    Lindsay please do not judge the nursing program because of other administrative offices. Financial aid is the WORST! They never answer the phone, they never have their stuff together, you are responsible for your own thing. They have mixed me up with...
