    tropsnegRN replied to tropsnegRN's topic in General Students

    I wasn't nervous on my classmates at all! My instructor is a good instructor but she is very dry and I guess that's why she intimidates me so

    Class, clinicals, study time & family...how do you manage your time?

    tropsnegRN replied to futurecoloradonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like to plan my week on Mondays. I will map out basically what I need to read or study/focus on each day and map out when I am going to do it. I find doing that keeps me from wasting time, and...

    Class, clinicals, study time & family...how do you manage your time?

    tropsnegRN replied to futurecoloradonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a wife, mother of a 2-yr-old, and full time employee. I'm currently in nursing school, although just a few weeks deep into first semester. I have lecture MT (8-10), lab WR (11:30-2:30) and then...

    F's from several years ago, I have a 3.8 now.

    tropsnegRN replied to Coca_Evagria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any CNA's out there?

    tropsnegRN replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Told to fake vital signs

    tropsnegRN replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you're planning on becoming a nurse someday, this could jeopardize your future licensing. I would get the heck out of there! I worked a LTC facility where we had equipment but it was garbage. I...

    Is nursing school worth it?

    tropsnegRN replied to Jazzycat22's topic in General Students

    So true! I work at a hospital -- 12 hr shifts. 2 on, 1 off, 4 on, 7 off. It works well with my schedule and I work nights 7pm-7am. I also held my student loans in forebearance while I worked in the...

    Is nursing school worth it?

    tropsnegRN replied to Jazzycat22's topic in General Students

    This is a silly question to me. If you choose your future career and happiness based on money you'll never really be happy! I have a BS in Political Science. I spent 5 years at a small liberal arts...
