1. Full time employment while attending Hondros nursing program????

   Luanrmoonsky replied to anthonyvc33's topic in Ohio

   I would call and ask how long the wait is. I was at CSCC but it wasn't going anywhere. Last I heard, the wait was two years. However, I have had other students that came from there after me saying it was three now. I am not sure about that one though...

2. Is it okay to be in the same nursing class as a relative?

   Luanrmoonsky replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

   I am in nursing school and this has not been a problem. We have sisters that are there together. I think that it may help some because it can reduce the normal anxiety associated with this program. It can also give you many reasons to stick with it a...

3. TROUBLES

   Luanrmoonsky replied to JENN's topic in General Students

   I also drive an hour. Nursing school is tough. Probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I have found that having someone to push me helps me when I feel like giving up. I found that in one of my instructors. She is something else,...

4. Drug Test Nursing Student

   Luanrmoonsky replied to lolasita's topic in General Students

   I think that is something that should be brought up with a representative of the school since it could cause issues for you. In the event that it would disqualify you, knowing early may help with other options. It may not cause issues though, and it ...

5. Tattoo Piercings cover up help?

   Luanrmoonsky replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

   Well with the tattoos, the only thing that I can think of is wearing something underneath that covers the arms. The nose ring, you could get one thats small enough that it isn't noticable for everyone, but you should check the school policies on this...

6. Need advice after failing last semester

   Luanrmoonsky replied to Lorettaxyz's topic in General Students

   Well, I can start by saying that if you were meant to be a nurse, you will be. Don't let anyone else discourage you. You have made so many sacrifices already for the sake of nursing, don't let any of it get you down. Failing is just another hurdle, y...

7. Question for current nursing students:

   Luanrmoonsky replied to jil_'s topic in General Students

   I would start with the basics of chemistry if you haven't already. They flew through it in my course (A&P) and many people had trouble with that portion. It is usually in the beginning of the course and that's a bad time to start getting confused...

8. Nursing School Must Haves??

   Luanrmoonsky replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

   I would get a wheeled bag for books and whatever else. Our first term had so many books that no one wanted to carry those around. Everyone went out and got one with wheels. A planner, you will need it to keep everything straight. I'd also be famili...

9. Nudity?

   Luanrmoonsky replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

   I have never heard of that... ever ever... We used mannequins and pretended on each other, then examined our patients in clinicals.

10. The Nursing Math Thread

    Luanrmoonsky replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    http://www.testandcalc.com/quiz/index.asp This is the one that I used to pass my Dosage and Calculation. We were required to have 100% on the test and I passed it. You should probably also memorize conversions (F to C and lbs to kg especially)

11. Have I really learned what I need to.....

    Luanrmoonsky replied to jpgmavs's topic in General Students

    You know, Im a term two and I feel the same way some days. Other days I feel that I know what I need. It took being thrown into clinicals and having to do it to realize that I learn by doing. I can practice in the lab night and day but until I have ...

12. What should first year students brush up on before school starts??

    Luanrmoonsky replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone on A & P, but my issue was the foundation in Chemistry. That is one of the things that my course started with and sometimes its hard to get unless you're prepared beforehand.

13. Full time employment while attending Hondros nursing program????

    Luanrmoonsky replied to anthonyvc33's topic in Ohio

    I am at Hondros-Columbus, and I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to work and complete this coursework. However, we do have some class mates that are doing it, but they end up falling asleep sitting up in lecture! I wouldn't go to Hondros (it...

14. Nursing School Question: Chamberlain vs. Hondros

    Luanrmoonsky replied to justkellymarie's topic in General Students

    Wow, I thought that I was the only one who noticed the issues with Hondros. I am also at Hondros and wouldn't recommend it. Not because of the level of education that you would receive, but because of the staff (directors, instructors, front desk). ...
