    Help! Failing my first semester of nursing school!

    Neo Soldier replied to nursing_potato's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're going through this. If this first semester doesn't go as you planned, please consider (if you haven't) taking the CNA exam and getting certified. You may not need to take a CNA course...

    RE-taking CNA Class

    Neo Soldier replied to coelbren's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would recommend watching videos on YouTube to get a general idea of what you're supposed to be doing. There isn't really a correct way to do things as long as what you're doing is safe. I would say...

    Help plz! Will it be worth it in the end?

    Neo Soldier replied to Ca.nurse2b101's topic in General Students

    I live in CA as well. I'm a new grad and I will be pulling in less than 50k/year. It depends on where you work. I know of state hospitals where RNs make up to 100k/year. You need to factor in the cost...

    Is it easier to get into an ADN program VS. a BSN program now?

    Neo Soldier replied to nhayes1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out what classes you need to get into a BSN program and the classes needed for the ADN. (You typically need more classes for the BSN). If you can, work towards getting everything you need for the...

    Trying to decide on nursing school

    Neo Soldier replied to Acraeinae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being an introvert doesn't mean you're not sociable or like-able, it means you enjoy alone time a lot. There are introverted people that are friendly and enjoy banter. Like any other skill, small talk...

    Advice for changing my major. Leaving nursing?

    Neo Soldier replied to Nursls21's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to point out that money is an important factor for most things in life: dental insurance, health insurance, rent/mortgage, utilities, car note, groceries, emergencies, retirement, family,...

    The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

    Neo Soldier replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Just because someone is human doesn't mean the person is appropriate to date. I'm not perpetuating the stigma of mental illness. People date mentally ill people and thats ok, but when a nurse is...

    The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

    Neo Soldier replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have a right to my opinion, madame. I have worked enough years to know that dating patients that you found at your job in a psych hospital is not the way to

    RN tells my mom that I don't need to take pre-requisites to become a nurse

    Neo Soldier replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    I think everyone did a good job explaining this. I will like to add that there are some schools (private schools, four years programs, technical colleges) that guarantee you admission into the program...

    Is it possible to go to LPN school while living on your own with a part-time job?

    Neo Soldier replied to Kohai's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LPN takes a year (or slightly more) to complete. The RN takes about two years to complete. You're not saving a lot of money in the long run if you get into the LPN program so you can bridge later....

    Is it possible to go to LPN school while living on your own with a part-time job?

    Neo Soldier replied to Kohai's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in total agreement. Nursing school is a bit of a challenge and if you can help not having to work to pay rent and buy food, the better. Let your house be a place you go to sleep, shower, and do...

    Blew a vein during clinical

    Neo Soldier replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

    Not deserving of a rant? Who are you to say how people should feel about a situation. To you it may mean nothing but you're not in her shoes. For you to call this unimportant is highly dismissive....

    Blew a vein during clinical

    Neo Soldier replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

    You have 40 years of experience as a nurse per your profile. Why is it necessary for you to make this statement? The OP is a student, of course this is a problem for someone with next to no...

    about to fail nursing clinical

    Neo Soldier replied to nursinggirligirl's topic in General Students

    I was going to say the exact thing. Homebound, we "veterans" share your sentiments as well. I will continue to tell people, pick your battles. Nursing school is not the place to be a freedom fighter:...

    about to fail nursing clinical

    Neo Soldier replied to nursinggirligirl's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more. Serve out your time quietly and don't rebel. You're almost out anyway. Some professors like to act like gate keepers of the profession. You are a student, you will make mistakes...

    Neo Soldier replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    I think joining a support group is a great idea. I also think you should talk to a specialist to see if there is a chance you can have children. Thank you for sharing your story. I honestly can't...
