  1. Am I bedside nurse material?

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

    You're welcome! I can think of dermatology, surgery, oncology, cardiac care, OB, and burn care. I think you can find more on discover nursing. I am not sure which ones are considered bedside per se,...

  2. Am I bedside nurse material?

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

    You may see worms in the ER as well. I have heard lots of stories. There are other specialities out there that may limit your exposure to fecal matter and anything that may wriggle. You may also be...

  3. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

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

    RCC will accept the highest grade you get I believe. The TEAS scores are not due right away, but the school will only accept the first attempt. I am not entirely sure when the scores are due, but it...

  4. Have no idea what to do

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Itachi_7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like Caliotter3 said, start looking into your options for what schools are available in your area (or where you may be willing to relocate) and what you need to do in order to apply. You have an idea...

  5. Make It STOP!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    How sexist and incredibly sad. That's equal (in my opinion) to telling a woman to stop trying to get an education and career and to just stay at home making babies. I might as well just stop now and...

  6. Taking A&P More Than Twice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to aer3's topic in General Students

    There are some schools that will accept the highest grade regardless of the number of attempts. With that said, one school I know in particular limits the attempt to 3 at that campus, but will accept...

  7. Need help

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

    I would say going to a CC and doing an ADN/ASN program would definitely be cheaper. There are bridge or other options available when it is time for you to get your BSN. Like Roser13 said, your...

  8. Make It STOP!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who plans to take the TEAS exam next spring and periodically checks that section... "I need some advice on the TEAS because I have not bothered to look at previous posts with the exact same...

  9. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    While I can't speak for every business/organization out there, I have noticed that not everyone is required to learn how to give feedback on job performance to others. I do agree that sometimes it can...

  10. Rcc spring 2018 applicants!!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to EMT2BRN1987's topic in School, College Programs

    Different RCC

  11. A Sign From God?

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

    I can't speak for you or God, but if these happenings get you to where you want to be then by all means take them as a sign. I just hope that you did not take someone's textbooks when they still...

  12. How to focus on nursing school textbook reading?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to slightlycanadian's topic in General Students

    Do not be afraid to step back and give yourself plenty of breaks while you are reading. I can either be the best person in the world when it comes to reading or the absolute worst. With that said, I...

  13. Is it possible to work and go to school at same time?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If science is not your strength, I would possibly reconsider taking more than one at a time until you feel like you know what to expect and are truly able to handle. If you are committed to this, then...

  14. Anatomy & physiology 2A

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

    Yeah, I really encourage you to do so. Even if you are not interested in finishing the program, it could be helpful to even take one or two classes (or none even). I've been warned about the Stats...

  15. Took TEAS 6 today

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I watched a YouTube video about a woman who got a 95% on her exam. She I think she just looked up worksheets online and that helped her to bring up those

  16. Anatomy & physiology 2A

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

    I waited quite awhile to go back to school. I am so glad that I did because I really needed that time to mold myself. It is pretty crazy for sure! If you have at least a 2.0 GPA (I think that is the...

  17. Anatomy & physiology 2A

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

    You are welcome! Focusing on school and making it a priority will do wonders for your GPA. These classes have their own challenges, but if you approach them the right way and with the mindset you will...

  18. Admission letter

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

    I definitely feel that you need to talk more about the topic and connect some of the other sections to why you they will help to make you successful. For example, you mention continuing your education...

  19. How difficult are Intro to Bio and Intermediate Algebra?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out a video by Marty Lobdell. I think it is called "How to Study Smarter Not Harder" (I think...???). It is lengthy (about an hour), but I watched that before I took Biology. I would also...

  20. Anatomy & physiology 2A

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

    Well, I never had to study because I was really engaged during lecture (and lab). If there was a question asked by the professor, I would be the one answering it (even if just in my head). Not even...

  21. ATI TEAS Advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to KSisk's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I will not be taking my TEAS until next Spring, but my friends all recommended purchasing at least one of the ATI practice tests. Try to simulate the testing environment as much as possible. For...

  22. I was offered a job...some tips!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you for this post and congrats on being offered an interview. My friend mentioned something similar to this when I had asked him about nursing school, but the meaning behind his words truly just...

  23. What are your motivators for pursuing nursing school?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to driver461's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just a state over and taking my last prerequisite in the fall. I did not have too much of an interest in the medical field at all until someone died in my arms. That has a way of humbling you and...

  24. Anatomy & physiology 2A

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

    I've heard some people use CrashCourse videos and my friend told me to check out Armando Hasudungan as well. You may be able to find quizlet questions other people have made if you want to test...

  25. How difficult are Intro to Bio and Intermediate Algebra?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take what I am saying with a grain of salt, but I was awful in high school. I have always been strong in math, but being in class bored me so I avoided it as much as possible and put effort only into...
