    Failed Capstone clincial....

    I didn't know a single person who won an appeal after failing a clinical portion of nursing school. I've seen people win appeals regarding their didactic grade, but never the clinical portion. Good...

    Job vs grades while in school more important?

    I'm 4 weeks away from graduating from my ADN program. I had to work full time while in school (40 hours/week), which meant my two days off were spent in class and at the hospital. A's in my program...

    Be more confident they say

    My checkoffs were the same way, and I'm sure your classmates feel the same way right now. It gets better. Confidence comes with doing in nursing school. Spend a little more time in the sim lab if...

    Is this really that controversial?

    Ofcourse it's possible, but why? I don't tell them my address or my GPA, but if asked about life outside of the hotel I offer that up. We don't always have to be so

    Is this really that controversial?

    In hospitality making small talk is a major part of the job. It's how you connect with people and make more money. I work in lodging and I tell people I'm in nursing school all the time. It's a...

    Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

    I have an Air and I don't even utilize everything it can do in nursing school. I understand the other commenters concerns about the cost, but they last longer than cheap PC's so there's that. It...

    What is your week like in nursing school?

    All I would say is be adaptable. There are going to be weeks that you need more or less time for studying, family, etc. Our program is set up so that we have seven week terms where we have one...

    I am a husband and father of one (4yrs.) I work 40 hours a week. 0700-1500 on the days that I don't have class. I can't imagine what it would be like to have three. That being said, you can do it....

    Intimidated by being only male

    I have 1.5 semesters left of school. I'd say my cohort is about 10-15% male. You'll make friends with people of both genders. Don't sweat it. School is hard enough as it

    need help with an assignment

    If his H&H is low then yeah, that with the vitals is consistent with a bleed somewhere. If he's in pain, than all of those things would be elevated as well (except BP would be elevated.) Need...

    My best friend puts down being a nurse

    -I will work as a nurse while I'm in med-school whether it's per diem or part-time and if I can handle full-time then so be it - my time will not be wasted -I will always have my nursing license and...

    My best friend puts down being a nurse

    Don't PA's spend a little bit of their time in a cadaver lab while in school? That sounds a bit worse than a little bit of incontinence to
