  1. Travel Nursing

    Shan replied to Shan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you both so much for your responses! I'll remember your advice and keep that in mind when I get to the point in my future where this is something to consider. I appreciate

  2. Nursing student working as a Med Tech

    Shan replied to WANWSeattle's topic in General Students

    This sounds very unsafe. There are many other tech jobs that can offer a more appropriate and educational experience; I would seek another job as soon as possible, especially if you're worried that...

  3. Is this for me

    Shan replied to Roseprime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! The wonderful thing about healthcare is that there are so many options and opportunities out there. If you feel like you would be anxious or stressed to an unhealthy level as a nurse, maybe look...

  4. Trying to help daughter

    Shan replied to John O's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi John. There are so many different careers in healthcare, and it can be overwhelming to be faced with a plethora of interesting options. Even as a student pursuing an RN, I still have no idea which...

  5. pre-MED SURG Summer classes/courses?

    Shan replied to ladyinwaiting's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Study up on your A&P, for sure. I know this may sound trivial, but a thorough understanding of physiology/patho will really help you to make sense of nursing assessments and interventions. Looking...

  6. Ending first semester.

    Shan replied to abndntqn17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The first semester is rough because you're acclimating to the alien educational experience that is nursing school. You have to learn the rhythm of the assignments, tests, and material. It's a lot to...

  7. Pathophysiology

    Shan replied to Potato13's topic in General Students

    Hello! In my program, patho is sort of integrated with our nursing coursework; the only pre-reqs were A&P and micro. That being said, I've never taken a "pathophysiology" class. But when learning...

  8. Scrubs color requirement??

    Shan replied to Kendrer's topic in General Students

    My program requires teal scrubs and we have to have the program's patch sewn over the left deltoid. The only style restriction is we can't wear jogger-style pants. Having a set uniform makes students...

  9. Feel Like A Failure

    Shan replied to Jennydeol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a lot of people would have to give something up if trying to juggle all of that, so don't feel bad! Chemistry + Anatomy, yikes! It takes time to find a good balance of work and school. Analyze...

  10. Takin NCLEX soon, but offered a part time job?

    Shan replied to Sweetie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm about halfway through my program, so not quite at the NCLEX point yet. But drawing from my general experience with studying and going through nursing school while simultaneously working, I would...

  11. Need your advice, moving from CA to TX

    Shan replied to nurse4Christ's topic in Texas Nursing

    Welcome, we're glad to have you! I live very close to Fort Worth; I was born and raised here, so I can't speak to the logistics of a move from CA, but I can hopefully give some insight into the...

  12. Pre-Nursing Major Change

    Shan replied to Donal Farrell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you tell us a little bit more about what the admission requirements are for the program you're going for? And what has your academic career been like up to this point? That will help us give...

  13. Grading Changed to Pass/Fail?

    Shan replied to sdgirl1's topic in General Students

    I think there are a lot of factors that come into play depending on your state. I live in Texas and a lot of students are under the impression that P/F affects GPA and/or chances of getting into...

  14. ASN vs. BSN

    Shan replied to Dyson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there any RN to BSN programs in your area? If not, a lot of schools offer them online (in fact, in my state, they're more often online than not). In the event that you're able to find one that...

  15. Excited, but confused!

    Shan replied to lowzabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations on starting this journey! I'm finishing my first semester in my local community college's ADN program and I love it; therefore, I'd personally recommend an ADN program, followed...

  16. Any suggestions

    Shan replied to Marilyn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Practice questions help me quite a bit! Answering questions and then reading the affirmation or correction of your rationale is a great way to start thinking like a nurse. I also bought study guides...

  17. Tarrant county college Nursing fall 2020

    Shan replied to Clarag1995's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe that you can do this one of two ways: you can take a form from the application and your immunization records to a health care provider and have them sign saying that you've received all the...

  18. Tarrant county college Nursing fall 2020

    Shan replied to Clarag1995's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For our class, they emailed a survey that asks you about when you want to take clinical, theory, and skills. It allows you to rank days and times in order to indicate your most preferred to least...

  19. Nursing School and COVID-19

    Shan replied to rose5's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program in Texas. All of our classes, including clinicals, have been moved online. They're still working out the details as to how this will work, but most people are just glad to be...

  20. Any ex Premeds?

    Shan replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    I wasn't a premed but if you're interested in the science of it all (like me), there are some great nursing professions that allow you to delve into that more than regular bedside nursing would:...

  21. Tarrant county college Nursing fall 2020

    Shan replied to Clarag1995's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm from the Spring 2020 cohort. TCC will only be looking at HESI scores. They used to consider HESI scores and pre-requisite class grades (A&P I and II; microbiology). Now they require...

  22. PreReqs Question? Too much at once?

    Shan replied to motherofdragon29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! Since many schools actually merge these two classes into A&P I and II, I would think that you'd be fine taking them together. However, I recommend that they be your only classes for that...

  23. PASSED NURSING SCHOOL!!

    Shan replied to LN95's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the encouraging words, I needed to hear it! Congratulations!!

  24. Seeking ADN advice

    Shan replied to Guest1135848's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't do anything that isn't required by the program you're looking to apply to. If they don't require chemistry, don't take it (unless you have the time, money, and desire to do so). Whatever...

  25. *HELP* leaving my 4 year to attend a 2 year?

    Shan replied to Mikayla9990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to warn you that community colleges are notorious for being every bit as competitive (more so, in some cases) as universities when it comes to nursing programs. No matter how you slice...
