1. Honestly, Am I too old to become a nurse?

   nurse2b2010 replied to Natbail's topic in General Nursing

   There are definitely some good points being made here regarding age, but I think the decision has to be definitely yours -- follow your heart. I'm 50 and started back to school at 48 to begin working towards an RN degree. I went through first semes...

2. Is and LPN Program a Good Route to Go in Trying to bridge over to RN?

   nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

   Sounds like it was definitely a good move for your April! I have to talk to the director of the LPN program before I make any decisions, but it's helpful to get some suggestions and opinions! I know that when I was doing my first and beginning of 2...

   Dear April, thanks so much for your advice and encouragement. You have been a big help in addressing some of my concerns. I really think I am leaning towards doing the LPN program to help me become an RN. Best of luck to you!

   Hello all. I'd like some opinions and advice. I was a 2nd semester nursing student until about a month ago. Had to postpone nursing school due to father's illness with cancer and too much stress in taking all the nursing courses along with A &...

5. Did anyone hate nursing school?

   nurse2b2010 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in New Nurse

   I wouldn't say that I hate nursing school, but I will say it's been hard and a real struggle, and I can understand how others feel when they say their self-esteem has been affected by some of the nursing insructors and others encountered while in nur...

7. Finished with that first year of nursing school?

   nurse2b2010 replied to ICAN!'s topic in General Students

   I am in the ADN program at Tompkins-Cortland Community College. It's a two year program, however, I've been going to school since Jan 07 because I had pre-reqs to get out of the way before applying to nursing school for Fall 08. I started my second...

8. Finished with that first year of nursing school?

   nurse2b2010 replied to ICAN!'s topic in General Students

   One thing I wish I would have studied more (actually two thing) was how to take nursing school tests. The tests are totally different than any other tests I had experienced and learning how to read the questions and determine choosing the right answ...

    Neona, thanks so much for your input. We also use the Marieb book (although I'm not sure which edition without grabbing my textbook at the moment). I will check into the quizzes you are referring to. Any help I can get would be great. Thank you ag...

    I'm actually considering looking into a different school for the A & P. I don't like the way this professor teaches. I've had her 3 semester now (had to take A & P I twice!). I'm still trying to process it all -- still trying to decide if ...

12. Need encouragement and advice

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

    thank you everyone. I guess I just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and a nice long bubble bath (like the rest of the semester long! :) ) sounds nice. Back to hitting the books. Have a statistics exam coming up. :uhoh3:

    nurse2b2010 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am (or should say was most recently) a second year nursing student. I just recently had to drop out of 2nd semester due to family situation (father ill with cancer) and my own personal stress level off the top. I am having so much trouble ...

    nurse2b2010 replied to butrfli's topic in Student Assist

    Wow, I'm impressed -- you were able to do IV's. In our school, we are not able to administer IV's at all! I thought that was pretty strange when I found out; I mean how do you learn if you don't do it. Once you graduate and pass your boards, it's ...

    nurse2b2010 replied to nurse2b2010's topic in Student Assist

    Wow, I wish I could say I loved the A & P stuff! lol. I just don't. But I know I have to learn it and understand it so I will take all the advice I can get. Thanks. There have been some things I enjoyed about A & P so far but for the most...
