1. NCLEX STUDY BUDDY

   TheFutureChoice replied to Coffee's topic in NCLEX

   Check with your school and classmates. You may have to put in money and do a training course to help you pass. I know the exam changed , did you take the old one or the new one?

2. All student nurses should know this!!

   TheFutureChoice replied to Lust4life's topic in General Students

   Thank you ! I'm just starting out, but I need to learn about these professional organizations. I read a fantastic post on Reddit about the profession and this is a contender! Love when experienced nurses give warnings about the Field

3. Losing Weight While In School

   TheFutureChoice replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   Yes Nursing school has forced me to slow down. I quit my retail job and the processed food consumption dropped. I work at a hospital and eat salads for lunch now. Went to doctor for physical and need to cut down salt. Was told I had ...

4. My living situation while in Nursing school

   TheFutureChoice replied to Penebly09's topic in General Students

   Sigh.... I STILL fight with myself over this. I am older than you too! If Independence is what you want, just plan for it. And write down your feelings. For me, regret over education/ past career choices. lots of millennials feel this way.

5. Will my social life really be over?

   TheFutureChoice replied to Kennakenna's topic in General Students

   As long as you keep getting good grades, you can have a social life. I just started a program and am a little behind because I work too much. Required to make an appointment with my advisor because I passed ( but barely) my first exam. It'...

6. How do you gauge the stress level of different college nursing programs? (I have an anxiety disorder.)

   TheFutureChoice replied to HelloHelloHello's topic in General Students

   Consider programs that let you take co-req classes during the Summer. Mine does and all I'll do is nursing courses during the program

7. CCC Clinical Hours

   I hope you're at orientation! I believe we have one " call out" , but anymore and you might be dismissed from the program EDIT Actually - you have to make up anything you miss AND speak with advising!! Cheers to us, TFC 😊

8. Quitting Nursing

   TheFutureChoice replied to Stefyxox's topic in New Nurse

   This is totally normal ! Get your RN- work for a few years and see how you feel about CRNA. You might find being a FNP a better fit. I want to work in managed care with people who have long term health conditions. Or even home health ! None of...

9. Could Use Some Advice

   TheFutureChoice replied to Lacey Frasure's topic in General Students

   I was in a similar situation. Once the pandemic hit, I put the brakes on nursing school apps and decided to focus on my job as a pharmacy tech. I learned how to give immunizations, and was motivated to try nursing again. I did not h...

10. I’m failing bio

    TheFutureChoice replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    If you cannot get an A, then get a B. If you cannot get a B, then leave the class. It is not worth the time to get less than a B. I have had to retake classes to get higher grades because I decided to "push through it" and got a C. Sometimes you a...

11. Any advice if your boss (an RN manager) isn't willing to work with your school schedule?

    TheFutureChoice replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Drop to part-time- weekend only. If you need more days , then pick up the occasional shift. If they say no to that, then ask about taking a day off or being late once a week. Ask about things like your health insurance and general benefits - but d...

12. Intro to Chem or Microbiology 1?

    TheFutureChoice replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

    Do you mean Introduction to Chemistry or General Chemistry 1? Into is usually for students not interested in health careers ( its not as rigorous). General is for students who will go on to take harder science classes, and tends to be a "weed-out" ...

13. HOW would you spend your MONEY?

    TheFutureChoice replied to TheFutureChoice's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks !!! I am taking two of the classes I need to progress ( Micro and AP1) this fall. I will spend my semester researching ADN schools and trying to raise money for myself- the LPN courses are simply too expensive at this time.

14. I don't want to do nursing anymore??

    TheFutureChoice replied to Igevorgyan's topic in General Students

    Please, do not be hard on yourself. You tried your best. Take time to process this, then try again later. Pay off some debt first, get a job working as an EMT or CNA ( or anything else). I would also suggest an ADN- cheaper and better if you need to...

15. HOW would you spend your MONEY?

    TheFutureChoice posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Should I: 1. Take the 3-4 science classes I need and apply to an ABSN program -OR- 2. Do an LPN program, then progress to an ABSN? The LPN program will get me into the field faster AND help with employment ( Better $$$)/ school applications ( wor...
