  1. White Nursing Student Shoes

    rnhopeful82 replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    I got a cheap pair of white shoes at Payless and put Dr Scholl's in them and they are

  2. Nursing Student dilemma

    rnhopeful82 replied to PupilNursing's topic in General Students

    For all of the schools I have ever seen, if they ask for your transcripts, you can't just not transfer classes. The failures will be there, they just won't count in your favor. Also, failures or...

  3. LTC vs Hospital for first-semester clinical

    rnhopeful82 replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

    Everyone in my school needs to go to LTC as the first semester. I preferred that to hone in and practice my vital skills, bed baths, etc. The basic skills needed. There will be plenty of time for...

  4. Secretly breaking contract

    rnhopeful82 replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    But WHY does your hospital need to know now? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that almost every place of employment has at least ONE person looking to jump ship. Every time I have changed...

  5. Do nursing schools look at your entire unofficial transcripts?

    rnhopeful82 replied to jaidon84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, definitely depends on the school. Mine took my transfers to complete requirements for the ASN but only looked at grades for classes I took at their school for the GPA portion of my

  6. Acceptance Rate/GPA

    rnhopeful82 replied to Mia Yap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school's minimum GPA was 2.7 but people with 3.4s weren't getting in. They also don't accept below a C+ for the pre-reqs. This isn't across the board though, so I would look into which schools...

  7. Lost Integrity: When Nursing Students Cheat

    rnhopeful82 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

    At my school, we need to put everything along the wall during a test, no smart watches on, they hand out the scrap paper and take it back after the test. That being said, I am sure some people from...

  8. How do you study? Effective methods and suggestions!

    rnhopeful82 replied to ajem27's topic in General Students

    I am going to have to say that it's best to find YOUR way of learning. Flash cards do absolutely nothing for me. Reading the book does absolutely nothing for me. I need to attend lecture and take...

  9. Nursing school Clinicals

    rnhopeful82 replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    My first clinical (I feel a lot of people have first clincials) was in long term care. We never approached the nurse about anything as most nurses at the LTC places were super busy being the only...

  10. Help with school assignments & disability

    rnhopeful82 replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    My school is graded based solely on exams the first semester (5 exams), all exams and maybe 2% for a cultural competency thing for the next 2 semesters I think (again 5 exams each), then semester 4 we...

  11. Looking up patients on Facebook

    rnhopeful82 replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point. People show up on my people I may know tat I have no idea who they are sometimes, it wouldn't constitute PHI

  12. Looking up patients on Facebook

    rnhopeful82 replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be graduating soon and do not use my last name on facebook. I google searched my name, etc and found nothing. The other day I realized that to log into fb, you need an email address. I...

  13. How many people made it to the end of the program?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Students

    I am about to start my last semester for an ASN program; we started with about 62-64, lost a few 2nd and 3rd semester, gained I think 8 lpns and now have 63 going into the

  14. Has this happened to you?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't just gone into autopilot and found my way to wherever I was going; one day I took it up a notch and drove to a place I hadn't lived in in YEARS! Autopilot + time travel = no good at

  15. Looking for investors

    rnhopeful82 replied to NICU Guy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My confusion on the PVT trick is all of the people who supposedly do it, then ask what the answer means. How do people know everything about the "trick" but then claim they have no idea what the...

  16. Vaccination for clinical

    rnhopeful82 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I like to think that the OP was doing an experiment: ask a question you KNOW will raise hell, ask people not to judge and see how long til everyone loses their mind. I think AN made it about 2 pages....

  17. Worn Out BP Cuffs

    rnhopeful82 replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

    Not allowing students to bring their own working cuffs is a weird policy but ok.... Are you able to ask your instructor in a moment of downtime to help you learn/practice how to inflate bp cuffs while...

  18. Questioning my decision...

    rnhopeful82 replied to CMerin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, it may not be a bad idea to try and get a job as a cna/tech to learn patient care and see if that is something you really want to do. I will tell you this, my cohort is almost in our last...

  19. Not being considered because of a C- in English...

    rnhopeful82 replied to n0rse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend retaking the English class for a higher grade if the school you are applying to allows retakes. Good

  20. Does your school's coursework include anything on educating the students about the increased risk of substance abuse for nurses?

    rnhopeful82 replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in General Students

    Mine doesn't as far as I've seen or

  21. I dont think I have the personality for nursing, and may need to switch majors...

    rnhopeful82 replied to WorldEscapes's topic in General Students

    gah! I cannot get to the video from the computer I am on, but please look up nurse Blake's skills checkoff. Honestly, it's how every person in my cohort feels during skills check off and we are in our...

  22. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    rnhopeful82 replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Last semester I was in the ER for a day and the nurse had to give a female a foley. The nurse asked if a student could observe and the patient said no. Don't blame her, I wouldn't want anyone in the...

  23. Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

    rnhopeful82 replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I have to say, some instructors are way more lax and lenient than others. My 2nd semester we had a girl show up late almost every day, she was usually hungover; did her careplans but no papers....

  24. Were you a frequent flyer in you’re own school days

    rnhopeful82 replied to AzraelAbaddon's topic in School

    I went to a Catholic school from K-8th grade. My friends and I were frequent flyers in middle school during recess. We didn't feel like standing and playing in a parking lot that was our "playground"...

  25. No graduation ceremony!?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Nurse_nini's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My school does the same. One big ceremony in June (I think) and I graduate in August. I can walk in June, but it seems dumb to me since I won't be done. I have already walked for my other degrees and...
