3. Bleak Term 1 Outcome

   AmyJo2018 posted a topic in General Students

   Term 1 of my ADN program is done, sort of. Actually it's not; I have to retake pharm due to being less than one percent from passing, and I withdrew from skills/clinicals early on. I just couldn't cut my work hours enough to be successful. This re...

4. Senator Maureen Walsh: When Do Nurses Have Time to Play Cards?

   AmyJo2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

   So Sen. Walsh made a slip of the tongue when she was tired? Think of the damage a tired nurse working a long shift with minimal breaks could do. I think she illustrated the point right there, but being too partisan to even notice.

5. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

   AmyJo2018 replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   In our state you may sit for the pn/nclex after completing your second term of the ADN program, which is what I plan to do. The tech college that I attend has a PN program with a long waiting list. Our PN program also, only starts once a year in Ju...

   Greetings PreNursing Students: I am currently in the middle of first term and thought that I would jot down some fresh advice. -Get your course packets and textbooks as early as possible and start reading through the chapters, following the course ca...

8. Dear Nursing Students, Never Give Up

   AmyJo2018 replied to latebloomer74's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   It looks like this post has been appropo for the masses. It is quite timely for me, a 51 yo first term nursing student, whose first week was horrible. I have to redo 3 out of our 5 first skills and the work load is something I will have trouble nav...

9. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

   AmyJo2018 replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Please don't be too discouraged. You certainly are no failure. Anyone who can complete all the work of an RN program, while not passing, and still be concerned about their standing with their parents and employers shows maturity and planning. I ho...

10. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    AmyJo2018 replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to do the same. I mean, that is the point of a forum, eh? I'm sorry it turned into a catty pile-on, but your post is helpful and may be what someone needs to read in the future. Providing tha...

11. Is this discrimination?

    AmyJo2018 replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I am amazed that so many educated professionals can read a post and pull only what they want to see out of it. I usually read all comments to a thread of interest, but I stopped on the second page. Some of 'you people' are disgusting, and at the ve...

12. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    AmyJo2018 replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    An uninvited back-rub in a secluded closet? Whether you said anything to him at the time or not is irrelevant. Management/HR should definitely be involved. You did the right thing. Again, after being hauled into the office and (hopefully) reprima...

13. Nursing schools WITHOUT wait lists?

    AmyJo2018 replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in School Programs

    Btw, my community college requires their Nursing Assistant course as a prereq to nursing. I feel your pain on the age thing. I will be fifty-one when I start core classes in the spring. And yes, after twenty-four years at Walmart I make way to muc...

14. a & p & english 101

    AmyJo2018 replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would err on the side of caution where anatomy and chemistry are concerned. Taking one class in a semester to ensure a proper grade is, in the long run much less time consuming and cheaper than having to retake classes. I also worked 40 hours whi...

    AmyJo2018 replied to Dee112's topic in General Students

    { When loading a syringe the teacher kept firing questions at me. I finally said to her st one point, "I must not have done this correctly because you keep asking me questions." She said, "Not necessarily." } I wonder if the questions were just an...
