  1. careplan books

    WDWpixieRN replied to HeavenBound0530's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Make sure you check to see if your school requires a certain book...we're first semester and starting to do care plans and an instructor happened to mention that it's a required book for second...

  2. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

    WDWpixieRN replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YOu'll always wonder if you don't at least try....go talk to folks at the school if you want the bottom line where you're applying, but you certainly don't want to just give in at this point!! Don't...

  4. Book Bag Question--

    WDWpixieRN replied to Jenny67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people in my nursing classes are using rolling bookbags....I bought mine at Sam's (Samsonite), but I'm a little concerned that the wheels are already acting goofy, so next time I'm going to...

  5. Totally new to nursing

    WDWpixieRN replied to argy2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is one of the most important pieces of advice you will get....a lot of these "tech" schools credits will NOT transfer to either a cc or university....you do not want to spend the time or $$$ only...

  6. How is MO???

    WDWpixieRN replied to mamamia's topic in General Nursing

  7. What to do???

    WDWpixieRN replied to tamahawk's topic in General Nursing

    And I can give you pointers on St. Louis Community Colleges if you're in this area!!

  8. What to do???

    WDWpixieRN replied to tamahawk's topic in General Nursing

    ASN usually = BSN salarywise (from what I've read)...or if there's a difference it's minimal....that'll get you out working and making money and then you can get the hospital where you are working...

  9. What to do???

    WDWpixieRN replied to tamahawk's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Also, check the better business bureau and maybe talk to any nurses you might know....the cost of their education is outrageous compared to the community colleges....the St. Louis...

  10. Classmates!

    WDWpixieRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    We will be starting our 10th week of school next week...I notice folks are starting to get a bit more warmed up to others....it was kind of obvious who the people were who had taken prereqs and knew...

  11. Nursing School Blues??

    WDWpixieRN replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    Hmmmmmmm....now I'm even more depressed thinking it looks like it doesn't get better for at least another 3 1/2 semesters!! I'm wondering now if I should just cut bait and RUNNNNNN!!! :) Hang in...

  12. Nursing School Blues??

    WDWpixieRN replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

  13. help...how can i stop being nervous when giving an injection?

    WDWpixieRN replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

    UGH....we weren't allowed to practice on each -- thank goodness!! I hate needles and would hate even more needlessly sticking fellow classmates (or it would feel needless)...for some reason, my first...

  14. Dilemma

    WDWpixieRN replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can get your own insurance...and it's horribly expensive depending on what type of coverage you get "on your own"....and may not cover much if you go with a cheaper plan as it'll most be for...

  15. Are we all old???

    WDWpixieRN replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow....by my calculations, back in "those" days, you had to be a minimum of 21 to enter a police academy...meaning after 23 years, he had to be at least early 40's when he started med school...I can't...

  16. Dilemma

    WDWpixieRN replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i'm not sure what you had to do to verify for the insurance that you were enrolled, but my kids always had a form they took to the registrar that was completed early in the semester and mailed to the...

  17. Oh Crap, we have a test today...can I borrow a scantron?

    WDWpixieRN replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't read all the replies, so excuse me if this is a duplicate, but I would not wait until the last exam to start hitting her up for this...I'd ask at each and every test because odds are, she...

  18. Finish old degree first?

    WDWpixieRN replied to Mistysmoke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might also talk to any universities in your area offering BSN programs...where I live (I believe anywhere in the state if my kids are correct -- but definately locally), if you obtain an AA in GS...

  19. Are we all old???

    WDWpixieRN replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm 50 and in my first semester, but if it makes you feel any better, about 20-something years ago, my friend and I were in a warehouse-type club and she was buying the "newly" released on CD...

  20. Was I mean?

    WDWpixieRN replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't even think nice or not has anything to do with it....if you feel you're being used, then it's not worth it to be "nice"...some people will kill you with kindness just to take advantage...I...

  21. Immunization requirements

    WDWpixieRN replied to quas26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds about right....and since I am older than dirt, then did the titer to see if I had had MMR exposure (I think that's what it is for?!?!)....since it came back positive (or is that negative?...

  22. RNs on my clinical unit are mean!

    WDWpixieRN replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

    Amen....and thank you! :redbeathe :thankya: You are a blessing to those of us students who are BEYOND harried and frazzled and feeling like such incompetent fools!! We want to be good nurses some...

  23. "Do we have to know this for the test?"

    WDWpixieRN replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This also reminds me of a couple of classmates....there are two in particular always chirping in....finishing the instructor's sentences if they falter for a fraction of a second, or adding their own...

  24. RNs on my clinical unit are mean!

    WDWpixieRN replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

    An update from my perspective -- we had clinicals this morning and my pt's RN was a 23-year veteran who is a floater in this hospital....I had the most POSITIVE experience working with her...she asked...

  25. Have you ever wanted to Quit?

    WDWpixieRN replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that you need to SEE that scantron and the test booklet and be allowed to compare....it sounds like you might possibly have transferred your answers incorrectly. Don't know if that would...
