  1. I am very undecided right now

    You are half way through the ADN program, so personally I would just follow through with that, and then go for the BSN. You have obviously grown from the experience, and feel up for the challenge. Good Luck with whatever you decide.
  2. Dismissed from nursing school? Don't give up!

    Congratulations!!! I just failed my first class, thanks for the hope! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Clinical help, advice please!

    Nursing school can be hell, first, relax...second, try not be so defensive, it will not get you anywhere!!! Even if you're right, being defensive will not get you ANYWHERE! Don't wait for your next clinical, e-mail your clinical instructor, take th...
  4. Vent: having a hard time with my clinical instructor

    It's an unpleasant situation to say the least. I tried to look at it as I will have to deal with all kinds of people like this both in my practice and in life. When I had a clinical instructor who I felt was difficult there was a couple things that...
  5. 5 More Weeks!

    I saw an earlier post where you were thinking about "taking time off", or something to that nature...glad to see your still plugging along...so close, THE END IS IN SIGHT!!! Give yourself a pat on the back, because you DEFINITELY deserve it!!! :) ♥
  6. Any tips on how to make some extra money in school?

    I sell Scentsy, it's worth it because you can put in as much or as little time as you want. It's also something else to do, and gets you out of the house! Congratulations and best of luck in school!
  7. I definitely went through this, still do on occasion and I'm suppose to graduate in May, but at the end of the day I KNOW that this is what I want. As a nursing student, and then a nurse, you are a lifelong learner. No one knows everything, but you...
  8. Tragedy during program

    I am so sorry, there are no words. The pain that you and your family must feel is immeasurable. When you finally do get some sleep, only to wake, and for a brief moment, either it seems like it must have been a dream, or you forget for a second, an...
  9. Dropping out of Nursing School.

    I am so sorry, you have worked so hard to get this far!!! I pray you find a way to get on top of this, feel better, and make it through!!!
  10. I got my congratulatory letter!

    I was on the "wait-list" and got the call, and we only take 30, now going into my second year! Best of luck to you!!!
  11. Math Test for every class?

    We have to take a math test each semester and get 100% to stay in the program. This scared me half to death at first until my Nursing 1 instructor stated that she has been teaching for 15 years, and has never lost anyone to math. They are pretty ba...
  12. nursing clinicals and glorified cna work

    I felt this way for a minute...and then I put it into perspective. You can do with it what you will, and take from it what you want. Most people were not techs before nursing school and every nurse needs to know how to care for their patient, these...
  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, you got the calculation wrong, however, you administered 4 units, which was the correct dose? So, technically, this isn't a medication error, it's a math error? I would think that the rubric states 5 points for this reason ...
  14. There no crying in....nursing school

    I hear you...now let's breathe :) I'm half way through my 13 days off before my summer class begins. I'm spending this free time playing with my kids, cleaning my house, working (of course), and trying to get my s**t together a little bit. Keep pu...
  15. Failed by 2 points my last semester.

    If at the end of the day, the only option left is to repeat the entire year, I would do it. You have worked too hard and come too far to give up now. In the grand scheme of things, a year passes in the blink of an eye. I'm sorry this happened, bes...
