1. Is it possible to go straight to a Bachelor's degree without getting your Associates?

   sugar'n'spice replied to LizMateo10's topic in Pre-Nursing

   by doing this, does it save you the first 2 years of the bsn program? so you go into it as a transfer student with 2 years left to get the bsn?

4. Taking sociology and psychology at the same time?

   sugar'n'spice replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing

   the only problem I see is summer courses are shorter, by like 2 months I think. So, your cramming in a full book worth of information in shorter time. I'm taking 9 hours this summer and I know it will be a lot of material... but I am motivated.

5. Why do I feel like this?

   sugar'n'spice replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with this, it takes a bit of class to be the smartest student. Don't answer every question, even if you know it, give your other classmates time, until you see your teacher struggling for the answer and makes eye contact with you, haha. I jus...

   sugar'n'spice replied to JJ the crit RN's topic in Relations

   This is only slightly related to the post... like 5% related. In North Carolina, a man was sentenced to 11 to 21 years in prison for making 400+/- bomb threats. Over the summer, this man called numerous businesses in 3 counties with these threats. It...

   my nursing school, a CC offering an ADN: I can't remember the EXACT number they gave me for the average.... but it was 72 or 77%, 70-something! I made an 84%.... The nursing adviser said I did not have to take it again, also the proctor said it was ...

8. Dating while in nursing school?

   sugar'n'spice replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   Nope, no one(man or woman) needs to tell the pursuer "I'm sorry" or "Thank you", especially when the pursuer is making them uncomfortable, You owe NOTHING to this person, and if they can't get the hint by SILENCE, that is not your fault. Yes, sure, ...

9. Stank Face during Clinical: How to prevent?

   sugar'n'spice replied to hepnande's topic in General Students

   I am not in nursing school quite yet, but I feel like you have just saved my life. This is such a great idea! I have a small fear of my weak stomach getting to me when it all starts. Plus, I've had some nurse friends mention the peppermint oil, but h...

10. Teas 6 Test This Thursday

    sugar'n'spice replied to KadijahRn's topic in TEAS

    the online study guide is amazing, it gives you the materials to know, instead of the book telling you what you should know.....it does only come as a package with the book and the two practice test. it's pricey, but worth it if your really shaky on ...

11. Lab Coat

    sugar'n'spice replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

12. Has anyone passed the TEAS w/out taking a&p first?

13. New VA Policy - CRNAs will not have full practice authority

    sugar'n'spice replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Headlines

    Where will this decision put DNAPs? Seeing as the doctorate is what most schools are transitioning to? I assume this is why they are requiring the doctorate... to prevent being held back by the lobbying of Anesthesiologists...?

14. 2016 Salary thread

    sugar'n'spice replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    Why unfortunately? I live in NC and only in school....I don't know anything about unions... But it seems everyone in a union on here has higher pay. Anyone care to navigate some positives/negatives about unions?

15. Art prereq

    sugar'n'spice replied to sugar'n'spice's topic in Pre-Nursing

    whew, crisis over! after some very nice emails back and forth, misunderstanding adverted! I will definitely be more careful about "picking my battles", even though this ended up not being one- it gave me so much anxiety, so much so that I didn't wan...
