1. Stress Test (aka Burning Man)

   Hospcorp replied to Nigel9's topic in General Students

   You are definitely not alone! I currently have a 4.0, but that comes with a 20 pound weight gain and absolutely no life. I'm going into my final year promising myself to let go of the need for A's and learn to balance life a bit more. I feel like I s...

2. Challenge Nursing Board?

   Hospcorp replied to cjohnMEDIC's topic in General Nursing

   Former Navy Corpsman here. Honestly, I suggest just using your GI Bill and getting your nursing degree. Challenging the LVN in Cali was too much of a hassle, and I believe you need to work in Cali. I'm in Tennessee and have one more year of school to...

3. Military wife trying to plan nursing school

   Hospcorp replied to daniflorida's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I also vote for doing your nursing prereq class and improving your GPA. I'm sure you'll do well on your entrance HESI/TEAS. Don't waste your GI Bill on a degree you're not going to use. I'm also a mom, veteran, and nursing student..You can do this! T...

4. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   You can be charged with a simple assault without ever hitting someone... Just saying. You can even be charged with assault for verbally threatening a patient, so..throwing something with the intention to injure would fall into that category. I wasn't...

5. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   Ok. You can be an LPN..and be a student going for your RN. You can be a RN and be a student going for your BSN. That's my point. You can be a nurse and student.

6. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   Just for the record..You can be an RN or LPN, and a student! I like this forum, but people can be a little too quick to judge and assume.

7. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   hmmm..Sometimes I feel like people on this forum do not realize that every student isn't 18 or 19 years old.(Not that there's anything wrong with that either) Many have have significant experience in healthcare, the military, and just life in general...

8. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   while I understand you do have some of the blame to bear, what she did was so far over the line. Again, it's assault. Honestly, I know you say you see her as a friend, but she's your instructor, not your friend. Maybe after nursing school you can be ...

9. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

   Hospcorp replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

   Wow! Pretty sure that's assault. I would normally advocate for talking with the instructor first when situations arise, but I would be at the Dean of Nursing office in a hot second. I understand not wanting to cause waves, but you do not deserve that...

10. Fall 2017 Motlow Nursing Program

    Hospcorp replied to shippkg's topic in School Programs

    So...I got on the waitlist. I don't think I'll get in this year, but it's okay. I had a "smallish" breakdown on Friday LOL, but moving on to plan B. Learned a hard lesson, it's important to get academic counseling! This is the first college I've gone...

    Congratulations! I didn't get an email, so guess I didn't get in. Congrats to everyone who did!!

    Hospcorp replied to shippkg's topic in School Programs

    Who is taking it out on Nancy? I think people have a right to be frustrated...Especially with all the misinformation and incorrect data. However, it's not cool call and get upset without someone who doesn't make the final decisions. I hope that is no...

13. Fall 2017 Motlow Nursing Program

    Hospcorp replied to shippkg's topic in School Programs

    Instead of giving 10 different answers to 10 people, I would rather them just say they don't know. It leads to confusion, and honestly I'm over the wait and the process. I'm just going to focus on finals, and I guess the email will come when it comes...

14. Fall 2017 Motlow Nursing Program

    Hospcorp replied to shippkg's topic in School Programs

    The whole process has been confusing IMO. Lots of misinformation, and it seems like everyone is getting different answers. Definitely frustrating.

    Hospcorp replied to shippkg's topic in School Programs

    We were told NOT to send our test scores. That they would go directly to the school. This is repeated by the testing staff at Motlow. Seems to have been a big problem, and I REALLY hope it is all squared away, and letters arrive soon :) The waiting s...
