  1. don't like nursing, should I accept the job?

    Piper98 replied to Beautiful Ladybug's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked as a nurse apprentice in surgery last Summer and HATED it. But the reason I hated it was because I had no patient interaction. It was so cold (literally and figuratively) and so procedural...

  5. Studying For NCLEX: Feeling Like Its Going No Where

    Piper98 replied to nr92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I test Tuesday, but I feel like it helps to have a system/plan for each day. Also, the biggest thing is reading those rationales regardless if you got it right or wrong. I have been studying 6-ish...

    Piper98 replied to cjon95300's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Piper98 replied to BlessingRN2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. What courses were hardest in your first year of nursing?

    Piper98 replied to hadeskitten's topic in General Students

    My first semester was medsurg, fundamentals, lab, and clinical. For me, clinicals were the most difficult because I had no previous medical experience. Medsurg was my favorite. It is hard work, but...

  18. Returning to Nursing School?

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the replies. The divorce analogy is ON POINT!!! I really think my anxiety and confidence is what has held me back thus far. I am fully capable otherwise. This break has definitely given...

    Piper98 posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my 2nd semester of an ADN program. Last semester, I did really well and made the deans list, but I hated every moment of it. I hated clinicals, but had a wonderful clinical instructor, so that...

  20. Can nurses really “do anything??”

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

  22. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    Piper98 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    At my school, they stopped listing what was in the kit bc people were taking supplies from the hospital or clinic where they worked, lol! My kit had things I wouldn’t have been able to find anywhere...

    Piper98 replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school didn't have any kind of limits, but it is a CC. The 4yr college in the same area has the 7yr limit, so I choose the CC and ASN

    Piper98 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students
