  1. Nursing School Forces Retake of Passed Courses

    rnhopeful82 replied to malenurseNTX2019's topic in General Students

    But it doesn't look like the OP has to retake the whole program, just the last semester. For that reason, transferring schools and starting from zero doesn't seem like the best idea. It sounds like,...

  2. Grades in ADN class

    rnhopeful82 replied to konp's topic in General Students

    In myy program you need a 77 to pass and those who barely pass one class usually do worse in the next. A 76.9 or lower you fail and repeat that class, do it again and you're out of the program. So no,...

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

    My school required a minimum of like 58% for the TEAS and everything was based on a point system. 2-4 points for prior degrees, up to 7 points for each class at the school, 1-4 points for GPA and then...

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

  5. How to fight procrastination and sleeping in?

    rnhopeful82 replied to angel0309's topic in General Students

    I could have written your post. I am working full time and have been needing to be at clincials from 630-7 for the last 3 semesters on Saturdays. That means waking up starting around 5 on one of my 2...

  6. Failed for the fifth time

    rnhopeful82 replied to Sekayia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You say you know the content, so is the question style that's hanging you up? Did you do all of the q banks for the methods you are using? Are you failing/near passing the same areas each time or do...

  7. Why do [some] nursing students fail?

    rnhopeful82 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    I have diabetes and alcohol does affect the insulin and sugar levels. During the night, the liver usually gives you glucose from the glycogen it saves, but when the person has had alcohol, the liver...

  8. Why do [some] nursing students fail?

    rnhopeful82 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    Can't really say how much you should study. You should study until you understand it. For some people, that means reading notes one-three times, others it means re-listening to lectures, others need...

  9. Why do [some] nursing students fail?

    rnhopeful82 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    The people I have seen fail or are currently failing/on the verge of failing do so from what looks like over studying and basic knowledge deficit. They are dedicated and study so much and most get the...

  10. Boomerang Coworkers

    rnhopeful82 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to be a boomerang employee once. A few years ago I left my job. I was well liked, it paid well enough, it was interesting work and close to home. But due to me not reciprocating feelings from...

  11. Is there any hope for me at this point?

    rnhopeful82 replied to DW12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would also not quit your job until you pass the NCLEX and have a nursing job. Or until you find another job if that's the path you choose. Good

  12. Reviewing tests

    rnhopeful82 replied to kittynurse18's topic in General Students

    Due to a whole bunch of cheaters and complainers, we can only see our tests by appointment. The first appointments go to those that got under an 80 and/or are in danger of failing. After about a week,...

  13. Goodwin Nursing Drug Test

    rnhopeful82 replied to Cahrue's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I honestly don't remember if I got them directly. I think because the school is on the form they get it directly. If youre worried, I recommend stopping the drugs and self testing to make sure youre...

    rnhopeful82 replied to Cahrue's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just did mine when I did everything else. There was no set time, just by the deadline to have everything handed

  15. Micro, A&P2, statistics, devel psych

    rnhopeful82 replied to kyleroman95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can it be done? Of course, but sciences with labs means going to school 4 times a week just for those 2 classes. My school highly recommends (you even have to sign a waiver saying if you fail, it's on...

    rnhopeful82 replied to lalaland024's topic in School, College Programs

  17. First injection mistake

    rnhopeful82 replied to Newstudent4's topic in General Students

    Honestly, the only reason I use an alcohol swab before I change my pump site is to help the tape stick better. I never use them on my finger sticks on myself and I smile when they use alcohol and then...

  21. Did anyone work full-time while taking pre-reqs?

    rnhopeful82 replied to heartheart09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full-time now, even in nursing school. The best advice I can give is to figure out your learning and study style. If flash cards work, make them, if listening to the lecture works, do it, study...
