    bsd058 replied to HanDamn99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay…you’ve described my life. LOL. I’ve actually learned tools and tricks with help from others and strategies I’ve used to help me remember what I’ve been told. And I keep great notes (my...

  2. All student nurses should know this!!

    bsd058 replied to Lust4life's topic in General Students

    yeah I suppose you’re right. I was prescribed hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-350. And I take alprazolam 0.5 mg for anxiety. I’ve been on these medications for a few years. Hydrocodone is for back...

  3. All student nurses should know this!!

    bsd058 replied to Lust4life's topic in General Students

    Well if you don’t have a prescription for the drug, yeah of course it’ll cause you trouble. If you do have an RX, they cannot discriminate against you. It’s illegal from what I

    bsd058 replied to Rgines's topic in School, College Programs

    There are thousands of programs throughout the USA. It may help us to know the region in which you live (example: central Florida, East coast in GA, etc.). Otherwise, Google can help you to find a...

  6. Valencia College ATN Summer 2022

    bsd058 replied to Rgines's topic in School, College Programs

    You have to be able to do clinicals, at the very least, in person. I was advised that they are typically 12 hour shifts for Associates degrees. That cannot be done online. It requires hands on...

  7. You're not a male nurse

    bsd058 replied to GunnyNurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly never thought about medicine as a career ever in my life up until a few years ago (just before SARS-CoV-2 hit); but when I saw the pressure that was put on the nurses who were taking care of...

  8. Anyone Leave Their Office Job for Nursing?

    bsd058 replied to Miamia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work from home (have been for about 6-7 years now). I audit for a health insurer. Totally understand the feeling. Fortunately for me, the same company that I work for is the company that is paying...

  9. looking for a school

    bsd058 replied to IM_JUST_ ME's topic in School, College Programs

    Where do you live? You sometimes just have to look around. If you know you want to do nursing, I would start by comparing school prerequisites. You’ll definitely need Biology, Microbiology, Anatomy...

  10. Order of taking prerequisites question

    bsd058 replied to katrina190223's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took A&P 1 and Microbiology at the same time. I think as long as you take General Biology, should be fine with A&P. I then took A&P 2 and Micro probably helped with that. I took Stats many...

    bsd058 replied to Jupiter16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reading this makes me want to slap your mother for you. LOL. Sorry. That’s just my inner protective instincts kicking in. Makes me think she was never disciplined to be kind to others when she was a...

    bsd058 replied to bsd058's topic in School, College Programs

    FYI - deadline for applications for Spring, 2023 is September 15. Found out that if you tie for points, they utilize overall GPA first, and then prerequisite GPA if you’re still

    bsd058 replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    LOL. I found this thread to be very encouraging. Just finished my prereqs and am waiting on whether or not I’m going to be accepted into the Spring program for an ASN-RN program I’ve been working...

    Just applied for nights and weekends track for ASN-RN. I have 84 points. Hoping that’s enough, since they added a point (civic literacy
