  1. Read one chapter didn't get a single question right

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to chaselynnai's topic in General Students

    While I hope to start nursing school in the fall, I have been doing my research on here, YouTube, and asking friends currently in the program (at varying stages) about those NCLEX style questions....

  2. Failing Anatomy!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do you currently study? I feel like this is something important to identify in order to help give you the best advice. For example, do you review your lecture material within 24 hours or do you...

  3. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey EMT2BRN1987! I want to wish you the best of luck! I hope this time around you are able to get in. Have you taken Stats or a foreign language? If you are able to get into Stats this winter they...

  4. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    I would only try to apply if you have your last prerequisite(s) in progress and let that be Microbiology preferably. That way you do not have to worry about trying to take them while taking nursing...

  5. I don't know if I should stay in nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to kateandtippi's topic in General Students

    First and foremost, I just want to say that seeking help for your struggle with mental health issues was a major step in the right direction. Continue getting help and make sure to make time for...

  6. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I have seen on other threads I would say that the chances are slim without completing them for sure, but not impossible since some of the people are chosen randomly. I did see on another...

  7. TEAS English section

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to fomira83's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well, my best bit of advice for "finding the meaning of a word" would be to brush up on your roots and suffixes. If you can start breaking the word down and determine the meaning of at least part of...

  8. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you Joseizking! It is really appreciated. Technically, I believe that you can apply anytime (including while you have prerequisites in progress). You will not get the points for having those...

  9. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Glad to have you :) I'm applying just for the RN program. I was thinking about trying to get everything done for the LVN program as well, but I was trying to focus on just finishing up the second...

  10. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    Dang, I am really sorry to hear that!! My friend was saying that people applying for the spring semesters tend to face more competition than those applying to start in the fall. I set up a page for...

  11. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats everyone who got it! I wish everyone who is still waiting good

  12. Not Vaccinated-In Need of Advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to scouteb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the others mentioned, check with the program you are trying to get into in particular in addition to your health care provider. You can also inquire about any potential risks to you. I would also...

  13. CBD oil Medical Marijuana Products and drug tests during nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Lilymoonstorm's topic in General Students

    If the BON in your state does not make allowances then I would not take the risk. Even the smallest amounts may still show up and I would hate to have your hard work go down the drain. At the same...

  14. Biggest sacrifice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Itwillallbeworthit23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My reason for pursuing nursing may be a wee bit different than most other people, but I essentially gave up another career. I still work, but I have been slowly turning away potential clients and...

  15. Tired of A&P

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Breyea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry that you have had such a rough semester! I have felt myself feeling the burn out time to time and not wanting to study. I do have a strong reason for why I am pursuing nursing and that...

  16. Online courses

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to kelleyb1203's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to second meanmaryjean and mmc51264. The school you want to do your program at may be able to give you some suggestions as to avoid taking another class they may not accept. I would...

  17. Ethical Dilemma

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    If you are able to do so, I want to encourage you to try to retake the course again. Now that you have already taken the course, you can identify the areas you did not feel as confident on and use...

  18. Ethical Dilemma

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    While I hope everything turned out in favor of the OP, it appears that silence may indeed speak

  19. struggling help!!!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to young3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First and foremost, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Losing a loved and getting hit from the left and right by life shows your resilience. If nursing is truly what you want to pursue,...

  20. Should I consider an LPN program...

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think applying to a LPN program would be a great opportunity though I am unable to comment on the price of the program. You may consider a LPN-BSN at a later point in time. If you decide to stick...

  21. I'm up in the air!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Reincarnated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two other things I would personally consider are graduation and employment percentages for new graduates if they are available in addition to NCLEX pass rates and clinical sites. Perhaps you may be...

  22. Pep talk...

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

    I can't give specific tips as I am not quite sure how you study for an exam, but something I did was to stop saying I was "awful" or "bad" at a particular subject. For example, I had a honors English...

  23. Fall 2017 Chat

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone! I hope your holidays were lovely and that those taking classes are hanging in! I have officially 13 days left until I take my last final (I have two online ones somewhere in there)....

  24. Pre Nursing student

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to carol20yn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may be a tad more difficult to do for online students, but if you are able to I would recommend talking with a previous student in each class or someone who has successfully navigated all the...

  25. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    On a side note, congratulations to everyone now finished with the TEAS. You are all one step closer to finding out if you were accepted! It is crazy to think I'll be jumping through the same hoops...
