  1. How many patients do student nurses have?

    Lipoma replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

    I had 1 patient my first quarter. I have 1-2 patients (depending on the floor) during the 2nd and third quarter. For the final quarter, I am not sure how many patients we will

  2. Medical Assistant vent

    Lipoma replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I'll give you my experience which shines light on BOTH sides of the spectrum. Before I enrolled in an ABSN program I was a medical assistant at an urgent care. There were 3 other MAs who were...

  3. Messed up in Clinical

    Lipoma replied to BSN89's topic in General Students

    I sense your classmate is jealous of you. I'm in my 3rd semester and all throughout clinical I am so busy I don't even see what my classmates are doing unless they see me and ask for my help and vice...

  4. Advice is needed for this newbie

    Lipoma replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I overestimated how difficult nursing school was going to be. Now that I'm 3 semesters in, it's definitely easier than I expected. As for advice, do not for one second think that you'll be able to...

  5. Portage Learning Classes

    Lipoma replied to Saltlife26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took Developmental (Lifespan) Psychology and it was self-paced and relatively an easy A. I finished the course in under a month. I would recommend them any

  6. Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

    Lipoma replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

    Okay...in my program that would be completely impossible (class 3 days/week 8a - 4p and then clinical 2 days a week 7a-3p). However, 3 12s in other programs is doable especially if you're in class and...

  7. Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    Lipoma replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    I don't work and my ABSN is pretty expensive. I just don't see when I'd be able to study AND work. My schedule is class Monday & Tuesday 9am-4pm then clinical Wednes, Thurs, Fri 6:45a-3p....

  8. Hate nursing school help!

    Lipoma replied to Mabern1's topic in General Students

    I hated first semester....still hate all the heavy nursing theory (non-clinical related) classes. Stick it out and come second semester when you're expected to be more involved in patient care...

  9. Passed my HESI a2!!!

    Lipoma replied to jcast2213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! In regards to how to prepare for first semester/year, this topic has been beaten to death on this website. It's all based on personality and what/how you choose to spend your unstructured...

  10. What's one thing you wish you knew when starting nursing school?

    Lipoma replied to eaglesfan2286's topic in General Students

    I'm in a 12 month ABSN program and like others have said (including my nursing friends who already graduate from other nursing schools)...they said it will be the hardest thing I do but I beg to...

  11. Programs with late admissions deadlines?

    Lipoma replied to TravelTigerRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, Are you looking for ASN/ADN, BSN, ABSN, or direct entry/entry level

  12. Student trying to decide to Stay in Nursing School or Not

    Lipoma replied to paola1422's topic in General Students

    I just ended my 2nd quarter of nursing school with 2 more to go until I graduate. I do not overly enjoy nursing school and clinical is a hit or miss. I've gone through 6 rotations so far and only...

  13. dropping human anatomy with a W

    Lipoma replied to sunshineee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had 2 Ws (Chem I and Bio 2) prior to matriculating into a ABSN program. I was not asked about those grades during my interview and I am in the top 3rd of my nursing cohort. It's better to protect...

  14. SO EXCITED!!

    Lipoma replied to PureHoney327's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! Yes, the one program I applied to required an essay for admission and then another essay at the

  15. Stay a medical assistant or go in more debt by pursuing nursing

    Lipoma replied to nr92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely skip MA program. Depending where you are and which jobs you apply to, you can land a MA position and start paying down your undergrad debt. If you truly want to be a nurse (LPN, RN,...

  16. Blood Pressure -Can't hear-

    Lipoma replied to WhitneyClark's topic in General Students

    Have the patient rest their arm on a solid surface at or below the heart (straight and not bent at an angle) and away from their body. This will prevent the diaphragm from moving out of place when...

  17. ABSN vs Direct-Entry Masters

    Lipoma replied to am240111's topic in General Students

    I've considered direct entry programs but the cost of those programs is what forced me to attend an ABSN. My ABSN is 47K in tuition and fees alone but with scholarships it came down to 27K. For direct...

  18. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    Lipoma replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Personally, I found studying on the iPad both distracting and less stimulating. Also, it's much easier for me to flip through my printed lecture notes to study (4 lecture slides per page = efficient)....

  19. A W on my transcript?

    Lipoma replied to lotus_37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 2 Ws on my transcript and they were both in pre-req courses (Biology and Chemistry) and I managed to get into the only ABSN program I applied to. A W is not a death sentence especially if it's...

  20. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    Lipoma replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    A lot of my classmates utilize the iPad 2017 and iPad pro for note taking. I tried it...but hated it so now I only use my iPad to take my exams. I print out the lecture slides prior to every class....

  21. Pathophysiology in 8wks or 16wks?

    Lipoma replied to aloevesta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my nursing program, we have pathophys for 9 weeks (1 class per week from 9a-4p). It's not terribly awful. Never took it during my 1st undergrad so I went in with no knowledge and I'm excelling....

  22. Rad tech thinking of nursing

    Lipoma replied to Mybabies123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a 50 year old LPN in my ABSN program. From word of mouth...she's doing pretty

  23. Should I do an ADN program? So confused. Any advice appreciated

    Lipoma replied to youcandothis's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Having a prior BA/BS I would encourage you to pursue an ABSN. It comes with a higher price tag but it's usually less time than an ASN/ADN. My ABSN program is 12 months and one of my former classmates...

  24. Clinical sites

    Lipoma replied to new gal's topic in General Students

    Definitely program specific. Some of my classmates went to LTC while I never did during my first semester. I'm doing Psych, Cardiac/Heart Failure, and Med-Surg during my second
