    How many prerequisites Did you take at once?

    Luchador replied to ChristinaVL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry will make Micro easier, take that first, for sure. Don't over due it. You want to get as many 4.0s as you can. The grade on pre-reqs is the biggest factor in acceptance to RN

    Denied from nursing school...

    Luchador replied to callmeachilles1's topic in General Students

    I just talked to my buddy again. It wasn't a BSN he got turned down from. It was an ADN at a community college. But it's not about over-saturation of nurses. There was an article here about how a...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Luchador replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It really sounds like you need to get away from treating sick people. Reminds me of burned out teachers that get all pissy and cynical and start to dislike the kids. They usually become some sort of...

    Denied from nursing school...

    Luchador replied to callmeachilles1's topic in General Students

    Ridiculous. It's now harder to get into some RN schools than it is to get into PA. schools. I know this because my buddy went to PA school after getting rejected from BSN programs. People around here...

    Sick and tired of wiping butts...HELLP

    Luchador replied to Mr.Beast's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I feel you. I've been working as a CNA for six months to get experience while I am in RN school. It has been great experience and will make me a better nurse, but damn it's rough some nights. There...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Luchador replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "By all appearances." The original poster may need to take a break and re-charge his/her batteries and come back fresh and ready to help people that feel that they are in a crisis without worrying...

    Luchador replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    adult industry past? nursing a no?

    Luchador replied to xobay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you'll have an issue but heed the advise and don't share your past with colleagues or other students. I will tell you something and I don't mean to alarm you, but in a school district I...

    rough start to the school year!

    Luchador replied to nurseinthenorth1's topic in School

    Sounds like a rough start for sure. I taught English at several Title I schools. Always had a very wide range of really crappy to fantastic colleagues. Stand your ground. Keep on keeping on. Even...

    Luchador replied to New_Man_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    A little off topic...

    Luchador replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Wow. In the few months I've worked as a CNA before staring RN school I've had my feet **** on, I've been pissed on, spit on and puked on. By the way, crocs are great because you can just hose the...

    Is there a "Nurse Shortage" Lie?

    Luchador replied to New_Man_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As I nursing student I'm gripped by posts like this. Folks that graduated from my school last year with an associates are working med-surg in local hospitals. One girl even got into pediatrics right...

    Is Nursing school totally out of the picture for me?

    Luchador replied to HM_Gomms95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't bother with a cover letter. They don't care. They don't care about letters of recommendation, either, and won't even look at them. The programs I applied to had hard metrics that were 90% based...

    Is Nursing school totally out of the picture for me?

    Luchador replied to HM_Gomms95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been a high school English teacher. My pre-reqs came out to just a smooch below yours. I applied to two RN schools-- (Associates degree at community colleges). I was rejected by the closer one...

    Luchador replied to bluma5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I had a very bad tibia plateau fracture years ago and I'm on a short fuse to a knee replacement but every surgeon says I'm "too young." Having started RN school I can tell it's really going to be a...
