   I've applied to most of those and have not heard anything yet!

2. I really need a better diet...

   Nicolanz replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

   I gained 15 pounds while in school after losing 100 before school started! My last day is tomorrow, so I'm going back to working out and eating right! I don't have any advice, just that I know how you feel. My fitness pal is what originally helped me...

3. HESI EXIT PN

   Nicolanz replied to Suns1113's topic in HESI

   I do nclex 5000 and questions from an app called NCLEX mastery PN everyday. I passed the hesi today with an 1128. I think just practicing answering questions helped me more than anything. My test was mostly critical thinking and not too specific. I h...

4. First Semester Classes

   Nicolanz replied to Jessica Moore's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Good luck with your first semester! I can't remember what my first semester was but I remember it being the hardest. It was mostly due to adjusting to the craziness!

5. Kindred Hospital in Philadelphia

   Nicolanz replied to ArmyTwin's topic in Pennsylvania

   I'm a student but I did half of my clinicals at Kindred and the other half in med-surg at an acute care hospital. I don't have anything to compare it to but the patients were trached, had stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers, most were on contact isolati...

6. Why is Nursing not in the top ten most stressful jobs for 2014!

   Nicolanz replied to chiefaics's topic in General Nursing

   Stress is subjective.

7. Did not pass my patho class and now idk what to do

   Nicolanz replied to love.live.laugh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Maybe the traditional track is just what you need to succeed and keep your sanity! For me, nothing ever works out the way I plan, lol. But it seems to always work out the way it should. This is just a minor setback and it's probably what you needed t...

8. Are there any nurses happy to be a nurse?

   Nicolanz replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a student too and I've heard those comments as well. I choose to make this MY experience and not let others deter me. I hated my last career so I chose to get out of it. I would never discourage those getting into the business because they may lo...

9. about to enroll to become an RN

   Nicolanz replied to Chickie714's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was nervous too but I'm doing way better now than I ever did as a kid!!! Good luck to you!

10. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    Nicolanz replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    For me, A&P was a breeze compared to nursing school. It was a prerequisite so maybe that's why it was easier. Nursing coarse tests are so much harder. I made A's in A&P and have yet to make an A in any nursing coarse.

11. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    Nicolanz replied to HappyWife77's topic in COVID

    He came from Liberia on September 19th. He was screened before he left and started having symptoms on the 24th, I think. It's scary because even though tests were negative, he still brought it here. He probably won't be the last person to bring it he...

12. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    Nicolanz replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    I took an online class and my final grade was an F! I made an A but because there was some confusion with my name, she thought I never participated in class. I emailed her and she was being shady about changing my grade. I emailed her and the head of...

13. best i quit or fired story

    Nicolanz replied to OnlinePersona's topic in Relations

    The story above totally reminded me of this guy I worked with at a salon and spa. He was a massage therapist and I always got a creepy vibe from him. I just kept my distance. He left to start his own shop and a couple years later his face was all ov...

    Good luck to all of you! I'm in my last semester of the LVN program at Tomball. Exactly a year ago yesterday I got my acceptance e-mail. So hopefully y'all will get yours soon. Also, if you get on the alternative list, don't be discouraged! Get every...

    Nicolanz replied to Gog3tter's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm 31, started the LPN program with a 1 and 5 year old. Now in my last semester they are 2 and 6. My husband works night while I go to school during the day. We have no family around to help. It's been a tough year but it's going by so fast. Time ma...
