  1. Where's my planner nerds at?!

    Check out the blog Plannerisms It is ALL about planners. I use a Moleskine planner and am happy with it.
  2. I applied to nursing school...now what?

    I'm waiting too. I asked first-year nursing students what I should do. Basically....enjoy life NOW because you won't have much of one in nursing school. If you are bored, is there a hobby or volunteer activity you would like to do? I can appreciat...
  3. "Antipsychotics" are used for many conditions besides psychosis...if that is what helps you, don't be afraid of the medication's classification. Don't give up!
  4. Do I tell my manager?

    Personally (and without knowledge of laws, etc.), I wouldn't say a thing. People have to go on medical leave (or days off) for many different medical reasons. Mental illness should be no different.
  5. Abnormal Hormone Levels

    Just wondering if anyone could give ideas about what condition(s) would cause these hormones to be abnormal. I am stumped along with the MDs. I am not asking for medical advice. I have a patient I am trying to help. Any suggestions will be given ...
  6. Spring schedule too much?

    I personally wouldn't do it, but only you know what you can handle.
  7. Anyone do a full-time nursing program part-time?

    Thanks for your responses. Financially, I have planned that I won't need to take out loans for the ADN. My long-term goal is to be a psych NP, so it will be a job where I mostly sit and talk with people. If I can make it through the nursing program ...
  8. Great nurse but visually challenged

    The website www.sightconnection.com has "talking" devices....there maybe something that could help you. You might consider something like diabetes education where you mainly talk to patients versus handing out pills.
  9. W-withdrawal on record

    An F is worse than a W. A few W's won't hurt, but you don't want more than that. Good luck!
  10. I am hoping to enter a nursing program in about a year. However, I have some medical issues that leave me fatigued. The school I am planning to attend only has a full-time program. However, since they start 3 new cohorts a year, I am hoping that I...
  11. Better chance of getting into nursing program with BA?

    It will be school specific. My school gives 2 more "points" in the admission process for having a BA/BS.
  12. Yep, you can certainly go back later. My CC has a ASN-to-BSN program with the local university. It is what I'm planning to do....it is much cheaper to go to school at the CC than do it all at the university. Good luck, ~K
  13. No words of advice, but I wanted to say congrats for getting in!
  14. Can I be accepted into nursing school?

    As you don't have too many credits so far, it won't be that hard to raise your GPA. I say that if nursing is what you want, go for it! Start slowly...maybe only take 1 prereq class and put all your effort into doing well in that class. School gets...
  15. In Need of a few Motivating and Inspiring Words

    This probably isn't encouraging...but I'm wondering why the great guy isn't in the picture a bit more.
