  1. Bleak Term 1 Outcome

    AmyJo2018 posted a topic in General Students

    Term 1 of my ADN program is done, sort of. Actually it's not; I have to retake pharm due to being less than one percent from passing, and I withdrew from skills/clinicals early on. I just couldn't...

  4. Senator Maureen Walsh: When Do Nurses Have Time to Play Cards?

    AmyJo2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    So Sen. Walsh made a slip of the tongue when she was tired? Think of the damage a tired nurse working a long shift with minimal breaks could do. I think she illustrated the point right there, but...

  5. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

    AmyJo2018 replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In our state you may sit for the pn/nclex after completing your second term of the ADN program, which is what I plan to do. The tech college that I attend has a PN program with a long waiting list....

  6. Advice For First Term

    AmyJo2018 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Greetings PreNursing Students: I am currently in the middle of first term and thought that I would jot down some fresh advice. -Get your course packets and textbooks as early as possible and start...

  8. Dear Nursing Students, Never Give Up

    AmyJo2018 replied to latebloomer74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It looks like this post has been appropo for the masses. It is quite timely for me, a 51 yo first term nursing student, whose first week was horrible. I have to redo 3 out of our 5 first skills and...

  9. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

    AmyJo2018 replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Please don't be too discouraged. You certainly are no failure. Anyone who can complete all the work of an RN program, while not passing, and still be concerned about their standing with their...

  10. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    AmyJo2018 replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to do the same. I mean, that is the point of a forum, eh? I'm sorry it turned into a catty pile-on, but your post is helpful and may be what...

  11. Is this discrimination?

    AmyJo2018 replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I am amazed that so many educated professionals can read a post and pull only what they want to see out of it. I usually read all comments to a thread of interest, but I stopped on the second page....

  12. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    AmyJo2018 replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    An uninvited back-rub in a secluded closet? Whether you said anything to him at the time or not is irrelevant. Management/HR should definitely be involved. You did the right thing. Again, after...

  13. Nursing schools WITHOUT wait lists?

    AmyJo2018 replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in School, College Programs

    Btw, my community college requires their Nursing Assistant course as a prereq to nursing. I feel your pain on the age thing. I will be fifty-one when I start core classes in the spring. And yes,...

  14. a & p & english 101

    AmyJo2018 replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would err on the side of caution where anatomy and chemistry are concerned. Taking one class in a semester to ensure a proper grade is, in the long run much less time consuming and cheaper than...

  15. Bullying in nursing school

    AmyJo2018 replied to Dee112's topic in General Students

    { When loading a syringe the teacher kept firing questions at me. I finally said to her st one point, "I must not have done this correctly because you keep asking me questions." She said, "Not...

  16. A&p1

    AmyJo2018 replied to Andrea08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken both gen A&P and AA&P online. Both are doable, but as for me, I learn much better in a class and I've always enjoyed the classes more at college. A hybrid seems to be good...

  17. CNA/Phlebotomy

    AmyJo2018 replied to happiness_love's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Nursing Assistant course is a required prerequisite for my ADN program. I haven't become certified as most nursing students don't. I may though, as I am not getting into the program until spring....

  18. Loss of all personal freedom.

    AmyJo2018 replied to Runnerlives's topic in General Nursing

    I just read the headline on a newspaper in the doctor's office today. It seems some employers in California/Colorado are relaxing the 'no THC' rules due to a scarce number of eligible workers. I...

  19. Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

    AmyJo2018 replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out if there is a grade requirement for either class. We have a 'B' requirement for chemistry, so I didn't want to pile on more headaches (another difficult class) when I took it. Actually, I...

  20. Another Installment in Decisions of a Pre-Nursing Student or Now WTH Do I Do?

    AmyJo2018 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After being told twice that chances were good that I would be in the Nursing program starting this fall, alas I will not be starting until spring '19. This means that I will enjoy the summer with no...

  21. Another Installment in Decisions of a Pre-Nursing Student or Now WTH Do I Do?

    AmyJo2018 replied to AmyJo2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will be checking out what our college offers. My adviser didn't suggest much of anything, so I came up with MA pharm - a more basic class than Nursing pharm. This forum...

  23. My client gave me bed bugs!

    AmyJo2018 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am currently in microbiology and we discussed bed bugs in our parasite lesson plan. Bed bugs are not like fleas; jumping about from floor to furniture. They have one area where they have all that...

  24. How long should prereqs take?

    AmyJo2018 replied to taurnxkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started my prereq's in 2014. I work full time and never took more than two classes/semester. I also had to do a couple "do-overs". I am pleased to announce that I am currently in my last semester...
