  1. Jobs worked to get through school

    Templar1961 replied to nursethelma's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked as a receptionist while doing my prereq's, but when I finally start clinicals, I'll have to quit. I'm hoping to do work-study while I hammer my way through it,

  2. Old Foggie Nurse wants to hear from you.

    Templar1961 replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    Respect! Salary Scheduling Tuition

  3. Atheist or Agnostic?

    Templar1961 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, agnostic bordering on atheist. It was leaving Christianity that actually spurred me into nursing in the first place, believe it or not. Without the excuse of "God made it that way" to explain...

  4. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

    Templar1961 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question, and I don't mean to offend anyone here, let me say that up front. I'm not venting or flaming. I am a white female. When I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a grocery...

  5. If you could leave ...

    Templar1961 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay! This is similar to the threads about whether or not you would recommend nursing, but with one simple question: If you be in a different career, right now, would you? Assume all education,...

  6. If you could leave ...

    Templar1961 replied to Templar1961's topic in General Nursing

    SBK, why would you leave? And what would you do

  7. Tips for someone who has never studied before

    Templar1961 replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my usual routine. It's long, but it works. Read the chapter, just as you've been doing. But do it before class. Get a general idea in your mind of what the professor will be talking about....

  8. Rough and Confusing Situation

    Templar1961 replied to Alexandrea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The pill will not give you a false pregnancy reading. You might believe this because you may have been told the pill fools your body into thinking it is already pregnant. This is not exactly true, but...

  9. Question about Common Meds

    Templar1961 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, I'm a pre-nursing student and I'd just like to know what some common drugs are that you guys each use on a daily basis. I'd like to try and get a headstart on learning some of them. Thanks...

  10. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

  11. Is It Worth It?

    Templar1961 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey there, I've read through a lot of these posts, and it seems eight out of ten nurses absolutely hate their jobs. Others say it's terrible but they trudge along for humanistic reasons. I know...

  12. Is It Worth It?

    Templar1961 replied to Templar1961's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all so much for your replies. That's very

  13. How to get into the nursing program

    Templar1961 replied to undergradnurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Get better grades. No, get fantastic grades. I know that's blunt and completely inconsiderate of your personal circumstances, and that you want some other tips besides that, but that's really all I...

  14. Yes I Would Recommend Nursing!

    Templar1961 replied to jalvino1's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you for posting this! This is very encouraging. The verdict seems to be split evenly between those who hate nursing and those who love it, so here's my question: how exactly do you know if...

  15. I feel so stupid

    Templar1961 replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As I understand your post, it was the private MD who you spoke with originally who suggested it, and apparently it *had* worked in the past, so clearly it couldn't be that far-fetched. It wasn't just...

  16. I don't think I want to be a nurse

    Templar1961 replied to caholbr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is it just fear of making mistakes that's bothering you? If that's the case, I think that's normal, even healthy -- confidence will come to you as you gain experience. Since there *were* a few areas...

  17. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Templar1961 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, this is all really terrifying! Is this pretty much how it is in every department, or are there some areas that are better than

  18. NET test help!

    Templar1961 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, so if not, forgive me! I'm taking the NET test later on today, and I'm concerned about the math portion of it. I've studied from two study...

  19. Help! Taking NET test!

    Templar1961 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! I'm going to be applying to my school's nursing program next spring, but as you all know I have to take the NET test first. It's tomorrow, and even though I've studied, I still don't feel...

  20. Help! Taking NET test!

    Templar1961 replied to Templar1961's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've purchased two study guides (all right, I bought one and exchanged it for the second after I finished with it) and worked through all the practice tests several times. I guess I'm paranoid...
