  1. STEM stands for science technology engineering and math.
  2. Be careful. A lot of these schools have an agenda now. They recognize that nursing is very popular among women and are working to stear more toward STEM majors. I personally don't have anything against STEM but it's becoming tiresome now whenever I a...
  3. Prereq rigor vs nursing school?

    Nursing school is much much harder than all prerequisites combined. You have a lot more clinical related busy work to do all day long with about 15 chapters to study for the upcoming exam. You also have to attend clinical, class, and skills labs. The...
  4. I just graduated high school

    See an adviser about how to pursue your associate in nursing. I want to also add to get a job as a CNA for basic nursing skills and experience. In the meantime, don't get pregnant and don't take out loads of loan. If I was like you and still in HS, I...
  5. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Lol how are they racist?
  6. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Wow amazing, do you write NCLEX questions?
  7. No health insurance

    The health insurance is mainly required because you will be working with patients who are very sick and there's a risk of contamination and needle stick. You want to make sure that you are covered just in case. Speak to an insurance agent. Explain yo...
  8. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Lol I am really enjoying this thread cause I had a classmate who used to get very upset with these kind of tricks in questions. His outbursts and complaints were hilarious. Unfortunately he dropped out in the middle of second semester. But yes the an...
  9. Student loans for off campus housing?

    Wow not sure if this is a serious post but will answer. so living at home with your parents is depressing? which is why you want to take out over 10k per year to pay for a place? Not judging but I think it is a very bad idea. Debt isn't good and can ...
  10. 2 full-time jobs?

    I understand we all need to make a living but nursing for the money and trying to obtain loads of it will not make you a good nurse. Please look for alternate solution. Perhaps a cheaper school, moving in with a roommate (having your own apartment me...
  11. First semester- feels like drowning

    Nursing school is a combination of street and book smart....meaning situation smart. Exams are designed to make a student competent in those two. In order to master this, read your textbook ONLY, and do lots of practice questions on the topic being ...
  12. Accomadating patients racist request?

    Lol racism in 2018 is so pathe tic (excuse my French) on so many levels. People don't understand that in today's world with globalization, everything you own, eat, ect... had a minority's involvement. Yes you will refuse care from a black person but ...
  13. Studying on the Job?

    Overnight residential or commercial concierge. almost 1:00 am and I am studying right now. Everyone in this building is asleep so not a sound. You won't get any healthcare experiences here but will get plenty of customer service experience which is g...
  14. Nursing School Essentials

    Lol that will be coffee. Many of us are on it daily and couldn't function without it. wasn't a coffee drinker but became one due to NS. So sad.
  15. Is nursing school really awful?

    I am a student now and have to admit that sometimes I enjoy it and sometimes I really don't. But I feel blessed to be learning all the wonderful things being taught to us. When you approach it as glass half full it goes well. Life is good.
  16. Gap year before nursing school?

    I don't understand, if nursing is your passion then why not pursue it? you are very lucky you're living with your parents and don't have many bills. Perhaps going to a community college and cut the cost. If you have healthcare experience, many places...
  17. Best schedule for single mother

    I disagree. For her need, she would only hire the nanny part time (about 3 days/week) so it may be cheaper or same as daycare. And if she goes the daycare route better hope it's open very long hours because you all know nursing schedule. I worked in ...
  18. Best schedule for single mother

    OP how old are your kids? I think overnight work will be best. I know a nurse who did this until her mother was able to come help out. since her kids were school age, she hired a nanny to work from 5:00pm to about 8:00 am. Her kids spent a good porti...
  19. Case study the nursing process

    OP I think you did pretty good but I wanted to just share a tip since you asked. As a student myself I stay in my lane and use what is taught at school. I am sure real nurses here can better help you with the answers since they have lots of experienc...
  20. Best bra for nurses

    I feel like my B get squashed in sports bras and no supports in back (may be due to my body type). I prefer comfort straps, wide back, active lifestyle playtex bras. They lift and feel lightweight, good materials too. lol i sound like a commercial.
  21. Math question help please!

    OP i get the same answer you got and honestly speaking I never missed a math question since I've been in nursing school. so unless there's something else missing then the answer choices themselves must be wrong.
  22. Any American RN jobs that allow living abroad??

    I think what will realistically be possible is travel nursing in the U.S. Three months in and three months out and alternate. I see many high pay travel assignments for OR, and L&D as well as flu season. Working the high pay jobs will make up for...
  23. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    Yeah but whether or not she wins the case, this isn't an environment she should be going back in. Suing for money may be ok but it's a long shot and headache. The OP needs a fresh start.
  24. Just took the nclex, damn was it hard?

    Congratulations! Good luck in your practice. All the best.
  25. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    The OP is already out of the country. The only viable option I see for her now is reapply to a different University and start the program all over again. This will be long and financially draining. Good luck OP.
