    coolpeach replied to Pongoo's topic in General Nursing

  4. I am almost finished

    coolpeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember posting on this board that I was afraid I wouldn't pass A&P I, and then II. Then I was all freaked out over micro, pharm, patho etc. I got advice on financial aid, and was terrified of...

  5. Has this situation ever came up at your school?

    coolpeach replied to greysanatomyfan's topic in General Students

    We have lost about 7 people out of 40 going into the last semester. More than a few of these lost people were dropped because of just being short a point or two overall. I can't imagine the program...

  6. What makes Nursing school hard?

    coolpeach replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    At my nursing school you do NOT pick your schedule, they do not really tell us anything concrete until maybe a week before each semester (and then even that is subject to change). Then its the shear...

    coolpeach replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Any mothers experience post-weaning depression?

    coolpeach replied to 2bNurseLove419's topic in General Students

    I breast fed my last son until he was a little over a year. I knew he was my last, and it was very hard when it was over. Not only did I go into a funk, but I would't stop producing milk. I tried...

  9. PLZ HELP! DIDN'T PASS

    coolpeach replied to slim2007's topic in General Students

    Make sure you attend every class. You might ask if you can take a voice recorder, and tape the lecture so you can listen to it later. So far this semster (2nd semester) its been tough. I have been...

  10. A little stressed!

    coolpeach replied to ManderRN's topic in General Students

  13. Dealing with Violent Children

    coolpeach replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Without seeing the children there is no way to know if it is a mental health issue or a parenting issue. Since it is both children I would lean more toward a parenting issue. Anyway, I would be very...

  14. Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    coolpeach replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the same situation as you are, but I also have children. Originally I was going to go LPN to RN, but an instructor talked me out of it. Where I am they are phasing out LPN's so my choices...

    coolpeach replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

  16. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

    coolpeach replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I have never heard anyone say nursing is easy. I live in Dallas, Texas, and here the admission process is lengthy. It's very difficult to get into the programs. There are so many students who want in...

  18. Do all schools do this??:(

    coolpeach replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Students

    The test is free, and it you are ready for the intro classes you should be able to pass no problem. If you do not pass then you will more than likely not do very well in the college level course for...

  19. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    coolpeach replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    You can't go to the clinical instructor because this is not a clinical or school issue its a personal issue. Tell the girl to knock it off..period. If she doesn't get snarky back with her, and if she...

  20. How long are you clinical days?

    coolpeach replied to JHansen's topic in General Students
