1. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

   Athariel replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the reply. As crazy as it sounds, I never even considered the future and how I would be as a nurse if I graduated tomorrow with all the stress of school and all the minutiae of Clinical and Theory. I did sit and consider it, though. Prior ...

   Merriwhen: Yes, detaching is the hard thing. I used to help care for an uncle who lost his legs and much of his mobility to a bad MRSA infection where it seemed to just melt him and really wrecked his life to the extent he eventually died. Just gave ...

3. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

   Athariel replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

   Merriwhen: I can already tell that I get too attached to people to be a very objective or great nurse. I have a tendency to view sick people almost like children who need to be taken care of and can be a bit overbearing. Hard to maintain an objective...

   Esme: It isn't that I dislike the patients at all; it is quite the opposite. Part of why my stress causing me to see it as me versus them is so alarming is for that reason. The woman I was dealing with was having crazy high heart rate and had bec...

5. Should I be worried??

   Athariel replied to kdixon123's topic in General Students

   That depends; what are your grades like, normally, in other classes? Have you always been a 4.0 GPA without really trying kind of student? If not, then I might get somewhat worried because you maybe stuck with an easy Nursing School. Check it's accre...

6. Do you eat well/exercise while in the program?

   Athariel replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

   I don't but in my case it is an extension of my self injuring stuff (I eat when I feel out of control or stressed to explicitly harm myself for not living up to my own expectations of myself). There has been a lot of that around the board. Everyone h...

7. Changes to Federal Student Loan Rules: Be afraid, be very afraid...

   Athariel replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   I have nearly thirty thousand in student loans now. Have an associates degree from another school in what might as well be underwater basket weaving for all the good it has done me. What I have learned to do is to live on very little. I drive a two h...

8. HELP!!! I am a kinesthetic learner!

   Athariel replied to Ericak's topic in General Students

   I am somewhat similar. My notes are written/drawn in a sketchbook because that is how I learn. They would be of little help to anyone else. I tried a notebook but gave up on those years ago. And I rarely ever need to check the notes again, either, as...

9. My Grades Make Me Feel Sick.

   Athariel replied to ShadowsGirl101's topic in General Students

   Does your dad pay for school? If not, you are an adult and this doesn't concern him. I know that is easier said than done but part of growing up with some parents is getting them to recognize that you aren't their belonging to mold as they see fit be...

10. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Athariel posted a topic in General Students

    I am curious to hear from those who have considered this or who maybe approached many options; what do my prerequisites to get into the Nursing School allow me to go for if Nursing turns out to not be for me? I have heard of Health Information Manage...

11. Can I succeed as a Nursing Student with Obsessive Thoughts

    Athariel replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    Thanks a lot ladies and gentleman who responded to my last and previous comments. I didn't know schools even provided such services before the responses (never would have thought to check) but my school does, in fact, have such a service (advertised ...

12. Another failing nursing student :(

    Athariel replied to Jammindude's topic in General Students

    That was for him but I may go ahead and check that book out too. Hadn't heard of it before. Thanks

13. Got a first F! scared of applying

    Athariel replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I managed to get in with a 2.8 GPA but I Aced my HESI and live in a different area. I am not sure you can really compare schools across states like this, you know? That said, different Nursing Schools have different requirements (at least where I liv...

14. Another failing nursing student :(

    Athariel replied to Jammindude's topic in General Students

    I am a new Nursing Student still in first semester, but I would suggest not second guessing yourself. I have changes several right answers to wrong ones because I went back on my previous instinct when answering a question. I watched a YouTube video ...

15. Can I succeed as a Nursing Student with Obsessive Thoughts

    Athariel replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    I am discovering this to be the case. I am much better suited to being someone who takes orders and submits to a superior than taking the reins and running on my own. I can act on the fly but it is either critical thinking or action with me, not both...
