1. I finally got in!

   RiFig_17 replied to LavenderRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, just make sure you tell your manager/boss that you're going to nursing school so maybe they can provide some flexibility with your schedule. I've known of some people finding it hard to juggle a part time job and school. However, there are some...

2. I finally got in!

   RiFig_17 replied to LavenderRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's doable. Know your learning style for sure! I'm kind of a mix of all three so, I like to record my professors, jot down any important points they mention during lecture. Then afterward, listen to my recordings, type them up, and copy them down in...

   RiFig_17 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi everyone, I'm applying for Nursing Assistant positions, however, the job application I'm applying for is asking if I've had previous nursing assistant experience. I'm in an associate's nursing program and completed my first year of nursing courses...

   Congratulations!! Glad to hear you got into your nursing program! Good luck with your courses and make sure to study study study!! Maybe brush up on some of your A&P as it will make so much more sense when you're learning in your nursing courses!

5. Patient Care Associate vs Patient Sitter

   RiFig_17 replied to RiFig_17's topic in Technicians

   I really want a nursing assistant job because it would help so much more once I graduate having that hospital experience. I agree with you, my job is also flexible and low stress but it's really boring too. I don't interact with patients at all and a...

6. I might be moving!!

   RiFig_17 replied to RiFig_17's topic in General Students

   Yeah, I was considering staying behind if she did move because I felt as though it wouldn't be a simple process, AT ALL. Thank you so much for verifying and I will do so! Thanks again!

   Hi all, I'm currently enrolled in the nursing program at my community college. I've completed my first year, however, did not pass my second semester as I was 3 points below a C+ (the passing grade at my school). My mom is hoping to move at some poin...

8. Medical Assistant or Straight to BSN?

   RiFig_17 replied to FlowerAD's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I currently work in a doctor's office where I'm one of the few people who aren't an MA. A lot of my coworkers either became an MA for something quick, but others became an MA as a first stop before going into nursing. However, just as other people sa...

10. Physiology and Nursing School

    RiFig_17 replied to lishamhill's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I want to start off by saying your science courses are definitely WAYY more memorization than your nursing courses will be. Nursing you should have a pretty good background in your science courses because now is when all those courses, especially A&a...

12. I Failed A Nursing Course

    RiFig_17 replied to RiFig_17's topic in General Students

    ETD= Emergency Trauma Department. That's exactly why I'm considering a PCA/PCT position, however, I passed my Fundamentals course so would be able to take a position that allows nursing students. I'm still working at the moment, except I work in a me...

13. Missing nursing program deadline

    RiFig_17 replied to hazel20's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Personally, I would say wait it out. It would take longer to become an LVN and then you'd have to practically start from scratch when you enter the RN program. Yes, you'd have that clinical experience and you can apply it to your learning but in the ...
