  1. What’s your timeline for graduating, taking NCLEX, and getting your first job?

    IzzyJ replied to medapop's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the state and hospital system when you are able to apply. I graduated on December 15th. I didn't get my ATT until the first week of January due to the holidays. Took NCLEX...

  2. Was RN school easy for you?

    IzzyJ replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    It's good you're trying to go in without the mindset of success. I had to constantly remind myself that I am not everyone else's story. I have 5 kids, worked part time, still managed to help my sister...

  3. Ridiculous class schedule, please help

    IzzyJ replied to PrinPrin2's topic in General Students

    I consider myself a pretty intelligent person and I would never do that load. I am in my last semester of nursing school and have seen many friends not make it, even here at the finish line. Take...

  4. Pre Nursing Mom, wife working full time.

    IzzyJ replied to Shesblessed's topic in General Students

    My kids are older than yours, but I have 5 of them. The youngest is six and the older kids are pretty self sufficient, which helps, but it is still crazy. I had to give up my 4.0 GPA and settle for a...

  5. What to expect with Foundations

    IzzyJ replied to hmarine88's topic in General Students

    Totally agree with Sour Lemon. I tried to master dimensional analysis on my own before starting and it was a HUGE help in Foundations. When other students were stressing about dosage quizzes/tests,...

  6. EVOLVE Hesi Fundamentals Of Nursing Exit Exam

    IzzyJ replied to Prenursing911's topic in General Students

    What Milady said above. Pretty straightforward. Dosage was simple and if you have your ABC's, safety, delegation etc. down you should be fine. I also found it much simpler to know the answer they...

  7. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    IzzyJ replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I was just about to add a comment about bailing on this conversation because I might as well go back to arguing with my teenagers about the pointlessness (is that a word?) of topics they are studying...

  8. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    IzzyJ replied to carti's topic in General Students

    You are correct. Which is why nursing schools spend time in almost every semester talking about these types of patients. Add it all up, I bet it would be about a semester worth of

  9. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    IzzyJ replied to carti's topic in General Students

    If men formed and grew tiny humans in their body (and all of the issues that go along with that in MANY settings), maybe they would have an entire semester dedicated to them

  10. Valencia Nursing

    IzzyJ replied to sbear16's topic in General Students

    Expect to do a lot of learning on your own. Not many lectures and TONS of information. (Maybe you will be better off in the spring semester than we were in the summer as far as lectures. We lost...

  11. Advise on what to do/whether this is normal

    IzzyJ posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am a nursing 1 student who has been lurking here for a while. This is my first post. I thought long and hard about whether or not I would post this, but decided I really do want honest...

  12. Advise on what to do/whether this is normal

    IzzyJ replied to IzzyJ's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your thoughts. You are probably right about it not going anywhere. That lack of direction, although difficult, is something I probably just need to get over and hope the second semester...

  13. Want to be a nurse but I am really bad academically

    IzzyJ replied to Raistlin007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community College could be wonderful for you. I too did not take high school seriously, grew up thinking I was dumb, and honestly just not caring about academics. Once I realized I wanted to do...

    IzzyJ replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    Thanks for sharing ItsThatJenGirl. Looks like I will be starting my actual nursing program in May. Finished all the pre reqs and am just taking a Nursing Assessment class this semester. I have been...

  20. Valencia College 2018 acceptance

    IzzyJ replied to Gclewell's topic in School, College Programs

    Nothing here either. I have just decided I won't expect anything for another month or so. It has been five months since I applied and the anticipation is definitely making me nuts.

  23. Valencia College 2018 acceptance

    IzzyJ replied to Gclewell's topic in School, College Programs

    Don't get too down. I may have just submitted and the WRONG time of the year. That's good good news you've heard something. It took me months to hear anything at all!! Good

  24. Valencia College 2018 acceptance

    IzzyJ replied to Gclewell's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, I submitted everything back at the end of August. It took weeks and weeks and weeks to find out the spring semester was full. I just recently received an email stating that my application is...
