   tankgrrl13 replied to clearblue3's topic in Med-Surg

   My M/S unit is totally bipolar-extremely stressful some nights, while other nights flow together without a hitch. You just never know what the night has in store for you. On my unit-the team of nurses you work with can greatly influence how your nig...

2. trying to get into a nursing program...but have bad grades from the past

   tankgrrl13 replied to CBxoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and just re-take the courses that are pulling your grades down. I did that myself and once I got my GPA up to par, I was able to get accepted into a program which I've now completed and I'm now on my way to taki...

3. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

   tankgrrl13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   Mines in 2 wks and I've decided not to go for several reasons 1) Since leaving the army yrs ago, I've struggled with PTSD and serious anxiety issues-and everytime I let myself think about dealing with the ceremony/crowds etc-it's just been way too ov...

   Did you have to come down from Shreveport or Nachitoches? Wow-I'm surprised they had you take it all the way over here-since it's all computerized. Who knows- we may have been taking the teas at the same time :wink2: Which campus did you apply for?...

8. Missed my clinical day

   tankgrrl13 replied to kikwon89's topic in General Students

   I use to have a HUGE problem with sleeping in because of turning off my alarm-then falling asleep again for "just a few more minutes". What helps me is to hide my alarm clock in a random spot, away from my bed, before going to sleep. It really help...

   *whew* I can FINALLY stop stressing over whether or not I made it into the nursing program- because today I received my acceptance letter from NSU! Wow- so many emotions! I'm thrilled to have gotten in, but I'm now stressed out on whether or not I'l...

11. So I got my rejection letter today...

    tankgrrl13 replied to carla1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

    *hugs* I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get in! I'm surprised you didn't- based on your grades. The only thing I can think of that may have kept you from getting in would be the TEAS test. Perhaps you can re-take it? I'll keep my fingers cross...
