  2. Im very discouraged am I in the right field

    rnhopeful82 replied to Glashburn's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you getting distracted or repeatedly finding yourself rechecking yourself? I can't diagnose you, but the people I know with ADD get distracted by other things, I have OCD and that results in me...

  3. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    rnhopeful82 replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    Honestly, while reading your post, even if you had left out the fact that you are black, I would have thought "welp, that's what happens when you miss too many clinicals/labs etc". Also, I am slightly...

  4. Don't give up

    rnhopeful82 replied to Sarahmb1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I say congratulations and well done! It couldn't have been easy, especially without much support but you did it!

  5. Buying previously used books

    rnhopeful82 replied to herewego23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another thought, if the books have any codes to access whatever online and its been used by your friend and you would benefit from that, it would be good to make sure you can still use the...

  6. Advice for Nursing Student?

    rnhopeful82 replied to obri's topic in General Students

    I thought most schools started students off in the nursing home environment. That way, you weren't as likely to do anything crazy because the patients were very routine. I think it takes everyone...

  7. Desperate

    rnhopeful82 replied to emilymorgan's topic in General Students

    Last semester I went to the tutor after exam 1 to see what I got wrong on the test (we weren't allowed to see what we got wrong any other way) and she helped explain the rationale of each question I...

  8. Disappointed by colleague

    rnhopeful82 replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    But wasn't your duty to call the medical doctor like the surgical doctor told you to

  9. Does AZ always pay lower than states with unions?

    rnhopeful82 replied to Irene joy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I had to do some project for school looking at average nursing salaries and expenses where I live now vs another state. I picked AZ (lots of family and no blizzards!) The average salaries in AZ...

  10. What to do during summer break...

    rnhopeful82 replied to cosmo7009's topic in General Students

    Enjoy it!! My school has trimesters and I'm working full time so my clinicals are on Saturdays and so not only do I not have a summer, I don't have any weekends. So whatever you decide to do, don't...

  11. Goodwin College Summer 2018

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

    Someone I know had 15 points and did not get in. When I got accepted, anyone with 17 points and higher got in regardless of GPA and they then looked at people with 16 points and took the amount of...

  12. Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    rnhopeful82 replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school after 4 semesters of pre-reqs (yikes!) I have 2 previous, non-medical degrees. I'm 36 now and quite a few people show up in scrubs to class because they are...

  13. Effective way to study A&P

    rnhopeful82 replied to Nurse2b_Cook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on your study technique, you will need to learn that before you can effectively learn anything else. My friends were flashcard people, I am not. I am also not a textbook...

  14. Benefits over passion?

    rnhopeful82 replied to KJCnango's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the completely same position!! I have a state job and the benefits are AMAZING but I am bored to death most days I am here. That's one of the reasons I decided to go back to school and pursue...

  15. Is $40 Grand too much for an Associate Degree...

    rnhopeful82 replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    OK, I'm going to put this bluntly: you have been posting about which schools to go to and which path to take for a couple of years now. You have been wait listed at the community colleges and from...

  16. What are my chances? :/

    rnhopeful82 replied to Teachertorn's topic in General Students

    My school didn't take any transfer GPA, I needed to take at least 4 classes to establish a GPA at my current school. It worked because I needed to take my sciences anyway. My BS was in psych and that...

  17. Goodwin Nursing Program...

    rnhopeful82 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The class is 1 day a week and the clinical is one day a week so that's two if that's what your wife means. You can take both on the same day (for example: Monday morning clinical, Monday evening...

  18. Goodwin Nursing Program...

    rnhopeful82 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I would do that if possible, 12 points won't get you into the

  19. Goodwin College...Anyone ever been to their program before?

    rnhopeful82 replied to WCSU1987's topic in School, College Programs

    The classes are not picked during a lottery system, the clinicals are, and each time there have been people who needed to change the day they got stuck with and so far (knock on wood) people have been...

  20. Goodwin Nursing Program...

    rnhopeful82 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Once in the nursing program, it's 5 semesters of just the one nursing class and clinical, so that's technically part-time. For the pre-reqs, the more points you have, the more likely you are to get...

  21. My client gave me bed bugs!

    rnhopeful82 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my old apartment, I had 2 cute little old ladies who lived across the hall. Their nurse told one of them to visit her neighbors when her roommate went out. She was sitting on my couch one day and...

  22. Pre-Nursing Student- Advice

    rnhopeful82 replied to hserra1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in the program, just finished the first semester, yay!! I hadn't been in school for a bit, either, but it's not bad. I recommend taking 7 pre-reqs. It gives you 7 points for the program...

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

    They offer night classes for pre-reqs and nursing. I need to take Saturday clinicals because I work full time but they are very sure to make you know that you might not be guaranteed a clinical on a...

  24. I need to quit this job

    rnhopeful82 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Since one of your last posts was about freaking out and worrying that you wont be hirable after getting fired from 2 jobs and quickly quitting a third, I would most definitely talk to your supervisor...

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