I'm a nursing student . Nursing is my passion. I loveeeee it! I crave to learn all that is needed for me to excel in my field. I believe being a nurse is the closest thing to being an angel on Earth.

Hey guys, I'm tentatively scheduled to graduate in May from FTCC. Your first semester you will pick #'s to decide your section (draw from a hat). From then on they just put you in a clinical group each semester. It's very tough. You'll have to dedica...
Personally, I had to comment. Nursing school is the hardest thing I've ever done period, as I assume most of you agree. I have encountered wonderful nurses, but majority of the time even the CNA's are disrespectful to us. Angry because we have to u...

Yeah, if you haven't finished Anatomy that's why you didn't get in. They want to see how you do in that class first. What grade do you think you're making in 165?? 160 is more than enough points to get in. You should be in like flynn :) Use that time...

Dixie - It happens all the time, actually. But I know you'd rather know... What are your plans if you don't get in this semester? And you're right about the poor job outlook for new grads in this area. It's bad. Even BSN's are having difficulty find...

Well I'm one of those people who get crap done as soon as I can... so yes, I have ordered the uniform and yes I have ordered my books. My hints?? Go to half.com or even amazon.com and save yourself a lot of money on the books. I went to the bookstore...

Yeah. I had a very aggressive clinical instructor for CNA..and she almost made me hate nursing. Instructors really can make or break your learning experience. I think some of them are wayyy too hard.
