  1. Can a graduate of 2nd semester become a LVN?

    coolpeach replied to rdm3000's topic in General Students

    Here in Texas I believe a tech is basically the same thing as an CNA. I wanted to part time job while in the program so I started researching what I could do. I am in an RN program about to start...

  2. Class sizes

    coolpeach replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    The top 40 students are chosen for the program, and we go through the entire program with the same 40 unless someone fails drops. If that does happen they fill the spot with someone who maybe dropped...

    coolpeach replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

  4. I have a confession to make

    coolpeach replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I am still a student so I haven't run into this issue yet. I can tell you that it was just a few years ago when most Dr's offices were still using paper charts. When I would go to the Dr., or take my...

  6. How is the Nursing School Different from Pre-Reqs?

    coolpeach replied to futuredream's topic in General Students

    The biggest difference to me is the time. With pre reqs full time was 12 credit hours meaning you spent about 12 hours a week in class. In the nursing program last semester I took 9 credit hours (not...

  7. Will I be able to get my license?

    coolpeach replied to sleephood's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I believe since it is a felony it is relevant no matter what state you are in. As far as it mattering for your license there is no way to know without talking with the BON. I would give them a call. I...

  9. Some serious questions

    coolpeach replied to AGal110's topic in General Nursing

  10. Some serious questions

    coolpeach replied to AGal110's topic in General Nursing

    coolpeach replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    coolpeach replied to RN_TOBE's topic in General Students

  14. Do I Really Pose That BIG of a Threat? Or Is he Overexaggerating?

    coolpeach replied to Gavsmom's topic in General Students

    I am about to start my second semester in an RN program. I had some fear prior to the beginning of first semester that I might get sick more often, and even bring it home to my kids and make them...

  15. Nervous about overcoming fears

    coolpeach replied to gabriella86's topic in General Students

    I am in an RN program about to start second semester, and we don't even start needles until mid second semester so you have time. You will get to know everyone, have a million different other skills...

  16. Nursing student taking drugs

    coolpeach replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I think what fired me up on the topic was not the pot itself its the attitude I sometimes see in nurses. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was a very small child. I saw a nurse as almost an angel. A...

  17. If u were the patient,what type of nurse would you like to have?

    coolpeach replied to ahmadfaiz1992's topic in General Nursing

    I was a patient many times prior to nursing school when I knew nothing of what a real nurse was supposed to do. In RN school we are being taught so many things I never experienced as a patient. for...

  18. Nursing student taking drugs

    coolpeach replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Wow....my neck hurts for looking up at all these high horses. It is mandated that you report anything that could affect patient safety. It is NOT mandated that you police the world and tattle on...

  19. Waking up early again for clinicals

    coolpeach replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    coolpeach replied to RN_TOBE's topic in General Students

    coolpeach replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    So if I am single and know a guy is messing around with other women, and I get a disease its my fault. If I have sex with my husband knowing he's messing around with other women (and remember I must...

  22. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

    coolpeach replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    I would say be open to friendship. You will all feel weird around each other at first. Then you will see each other half naked in skills lab, see each other cry after bad check offs. You will be there...

  23. I was denied a maternity leave.

    coolpeach replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    coolpeach replied to fsv1024's topic in General Students

  25. I was denied a maternity leave.

    coolpeach replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    If I were driving to school next week, and another car came our of nowhere and smashed into me it wouldn't be my fault. If I had to miss more than the allowed amount of time due to the crash it still...
