Our classroom IS our lab, IE: line of microscopes on a back L shaped table that covers two walls (the end comes up right behind my chair so i am smashed like a sardine, LOL) and we have some of...

My current private school is going to cost me in the realm of 45k .. for an ASN. Bridge will be paid for by my health system, but that's a LOT of money. They're the preferred choice for new nursing...

Thanks for all your suggestions! And yes, it IS crazy doing this in one month - and it's not some watered down, hackneyed version, but the real deal, terribly difficult and absolutely saturated with...

Can be, depending on the program you are applying to, as each one has its own minimum requirements, and then you are usually competing with a ton of other people, so it will depend on how your score...

Hi there! I'm currently taking AP1, we just started Monday. Mine is a private uni in which we take our pre-requisites one at a time, in a one month format. This means, for AP, I am in school Monday...

I hate to say it, but I don't think you really have any reason to file a grievance. The fact that your test was over two WEEKS late because you were "stacking copies" for your grievance is especially...

I frequently see that it is a good idea for us to get a leg up on future RN employment prospects by trying to secure a tech job at our facility of choice while still in school. I would like to do...

I would like to say Erase Paste is good, but Benefit Eye Bright is a true miracle worker. It normally comes in a pencil form, but when I go to Ulta I buy the combo pot of Eye Bright/Boi-i-ng. Even...

Now that I think on it, I don't know which is worse, the ads with the terrible pictures, or the ones that loudly proclaim that the US nursing situation is in dire straits and that, if you go to...

At one of my health system's hospitals it seems that every single RN in the whole place is in plain black scrubs! IMO there is nothing even remotely morbid about a black background with cute...

Can anyone recommend a good shoe for someone like me with amazingly large feet? I'm a women's twelve wide, and I'm not sure which shoe to choose. My dean informed me my pumas with the pink and lime...

AIS of 84% with no pre-requisite completion and a grand total of six days study time, combined with the stress of an accident that totalled my van (gotta love those folks who confuse the gas for the...

I'm a long way from graduation, so I cannot give you pointers on job applications. However, I can tell you that confidence is EVERYTHING no matter what you do. If you keep telling yourself you CAN,...

I do believe she might be. The come-hither stare isn't helping matters. Good Lord. Real nurses look so much different than this that I can't do much but laugh. "Time for your bed bath..." Get...

As a big girl myself I can totally empathize with you! I was very upfront with my nursing dean about the possibility of having to strip down to my skivvies for the purpose of learning. Thank God she...

As a student, nobody is touching my Littmann: period. It holds a lot of personal significance for me... I have kept it safely tucked away for nearly two years as a tangible reminder of my ultimate...

Okay, which one of you is cutting onions in here? :crying2:

Oh please. While I will fully acknowledge the fact that nursing school is challenging, time consuming, and sometimes overwhelming... I do believe that when our instructors make these sweeping...

This seems to set kids up early for today's epidemic of people who run to the nearest ER for the first signs of a stuffed nose, hangnail, stubbed toe etc......... such a bad lesson to teach them....

Personally, I think trading some professionalism for a great sense of humor is worth it :)

Thanks for your reply JBudd! I will look into getting PERLA. I don't mind spending a small amount of money as long as I'm assured a quality product! I think I will buy the APA book as well, since I'm...

I just wanted to say that I love this post - I think so many people forget that the elderly have been at our stage of life too and are no less human... Not nurses specifically, but as a Floridian I...

I'm a student and won't be graduating for some time yet, however I've made the decision to work on quitting *now*. Not only do I personally feel that a smoking nurse is inappropriate simply because...

Hi all! I've got my first paper due in about a week or so. It's to be written, of course, in APA format. Now, in my prior papers, I've always done all of the work entirely by hand as instructed......

Good luck to all of you awaiting those letters! I got accepted and I can tell you the anxiety does not go away - if anything, it's worse.... an OMG what did I just sign up for am I insane kind of...
