    Low cumulative GPA but high Prerequisites GPA. Afraid of not getting admission anywhere.

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

    Depends on the program. Some only look at GPA of pre-reqs and don't care about anything else. Others

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Luchador replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    First semester RN student here. We had a simulation/test with a Pyxis. If we didn't check the med 3 times (1) when you get it out (2) when you draw it/mix it/ pour it, and (3) right before you...

    What do I need for nursing school?

    Luchador replied to Futaba90's topic in General Students

    Before you buy stuff you should go to the orientation. I bought uniforms and an expensive stethoscope before school. Then I went to orientation and they had huge boxes of old scrubs with the school...

    Nursing school sucks!

    Luchador replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you guys should have done some research and picked a better school. Mine is great. Accredited with a clinical ratio of 8 to 1 : : students :

    Clinicals and 2nd language?

    Luchador replied to prettyplanetearth's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to remember the name of the device but I can't and I just googled a bunch of them and nothing like they talked about showed up. They complained that they are really expensive and the...

    Mandatory Vaccination

    That's pretty much the definition of a choice,

    Clinicals and 2nd language?

    Luchador replied to prettyplanetearth's topic in General Students

    What state are you in? I'm in Colorado and I speak Spanish. I thought that would be a huge plus but my professors and RNs at the sites tell me they just have a little machine they use and don't...

    I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    Luchador replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    You really might want to look into something besides nursing. Just getting through school will be tough for you. If you have a problem with diapers what are you going to do when you are exposed to...

    Depressed in Nursing School

    Luchador replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    Hi Ashley, Please get seen for your depression. There is help out there. I've had issues with it in the past and I wouldn't want to make any sort of big decisions when I was

    Average Pass Rate in ADN program

    Luchador replied to angel0309's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester of an ADN. My cohort started at 32. We've lost 3 before Thanksgiving. Apparently next semester, with peds and med-surge is tough and we'll lose some more. There are photos...

    Highly Sensitive People in Nursing: Stress & Burnout - Research

    Luchador replied to RNliveoak's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't take the survey because I'm an student RN at this point. But I have a question- how do you know if you are a "highly sensitive person?" I suspect I am and nursing probably draws quite a few...

    Hep B Vaccine Question

    Luchador replied to flo123's topic in General Students

    Yup. My titer for mumps came back negative before school started. And I had the shots when I was a tiny fellow. I had to do two shots a week apart and barely made the

    Prereq rigor vs nursing school?

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

    I taught a course with that title. I had the youngsters read selections from Aristotle's Rhetoric and then we used his rhetorical analysis tools on various selections and even some news videos. For...

    Two BS degrees, yet...

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

    I'm in an RN program right now. Barely got in with my mighty 3.2 gpa yet now I have a 95% in Nursing fundamentals and pharmacology. The pre-reqs and entry tests aren't the best predictor of how you...

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

    The TEAS is a puta madre. I had to take it three times to get the math I needed. The first time I bombed it I asked the school I was applying to what they recommended for a study guide. They gave...

    Happy Thanks giving break amigos/amigas!

    Luchador posted a topic in General Students

    I just put the bird in the brine to get all yummy for tomorrow. For aromatics I used fresh thyme, rosemary, garlic and bay leaves. I'm doing a riff on a medieval recipe and gilding the bird, too....

    Help plz! Will it be worth it in the end?

    Luchador replied to Ca.nurse2b101's topic in General Students

    Ok! First thing to realize is that RN jobs are 100% regional. Ask somebody in CA or on the East coast they will tell you the Rn shortage is a hoax. On the other hand, ask somebody in Idaho and they...

    Vaccine controversy

    Luchador replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wrong. These people are a hazard and they should not be coddled nor validated in any way. No vaccine- no driver's license. No vaccine- no social security

    Vaccine controversy

    Luchador replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We've sort of crossed the event horizon with wacko conspiracy theory stuff in the current climate in the US. With politics, sure. But also the anti-vaccers and now there is a huge growth in...

    Side jobs...

    Luchador replied to aWiiPeanut's topic in General Students

    Seriously, if your are a CNA and don't mind wiping asses just get a hold of an agency. They are desperate. PM me and I will tell you the two I work for. They send people from one state to work in...

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    Luchador replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    As people have pointed out, a BSN will give you an advantage. On the other hand, there are some rural long term care facilities where an LPN is the DON and they also work med-surge in rural areas...

    He will lawyer up and they will plead down whatever the criminal charge ends up being to something with probation. Hopefully, the nurse has a lawyer and she is already putting in the paper work for a...
