  1. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am a student nurse & I've passed everything but my last class of the RN program (critical care). Because I failed this class by 2.5 points on my exam, I am unable to graduate & am being...

  2. I gave up and am living my best life

    ErikaMarie replied to california_rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I experienced one too & it was also my last chance. I am 42. *hugs* to you. I wish I could find that

  3. ASN programs that take transfer credits from other nursing schools?

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I failed med surg 1, had to re-take, passed, then failed my final exam of med-surg 3 which made me fail the class the day before graduation. Since this was my 2nd strike, I was kicked out of the...

  4. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

    ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks y'all. I think I'm just gonna do the last semester of LPN. Not how I wanted to do this but it seems to be the quickest route to getting

  5. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just got my final test grade for Critical Care & I bombed it. I don't know how, but it's done. I cried, hyperventilated, & puked everywhere the several minutes following being sent my score...

  6. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

    ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm so upset! They said to transfer to the LPN program IN THE SAME SCHOOL, for an entire year & then we could start the LPN to RN program & would have to retake everything after Fundamentals!!...

  7. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

    ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think I can challenge in the state of Maryland but I am a dual resident of WV (since I own a home there.) I'm having trouble finding information about it. Since it's Saturday, the offices...

    ErikaMarie replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Should I just bring you the coffee

  9. Clinical Instructor and Student Nurse Relationship (have you encountered?)

    ErikaMarie replied to Lee_Uy's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructor is not liked by many people because she's infection control & people are constantly being caught doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. Personally, I love her. I went in with...

  10. NEED INFO: ADN school not accredited yet, ADN-BSN schools that will accept still?

    ErikaMarie replied to WhitneyLemke's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure this will help but there is a local school here that is not accredited but is turning over lots of dental assistant graduates. A friend of mine advise me that she applied for her...

  11. The rolling backpack debate

    ErikaMarie replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

  12. First week of Nursing School and I am off to a bad start...Help!

    ErikaMarie replied to ShineyNickelRN's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. The hospice called my family to Michigan for her final hours. My parents left yesterday morning. I stay here... Sent from my iPhone using

  13. need support

    ErikaMarie replied to Kms210's topic in General Students

    You might get a better response from an actual nurse outside of the student forum... Sent from my iPhone using

  14. BSN without RN

    ErikaMarie replied to jcarver1112's topic in General Students

    I'm not talking about Math 101, etc. Of course those can be done online. Anatomy & Physiology requires dissection. Microbiology requires cultures done in a lab. However, I'm referring to the...

  15. The rolling backpack debate

    ErikaMarie replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    I totally might get a rolling suitcase! lol This load is ridiculous! I had to lug that stuff up a steep hill both ways & 1/4 mile away. Who decided to put a campus around a steep hill?

  16. Do you make friends with others in your nursing program?

    ErikaMarie replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I don't think you need to relate to someone to be their friend... Especially when you should be able to relate to their nursing school frustrations & excitements. I try to make friends whenever I...

  17. BSN without RN

    ErikaMarie replied to jcarver1112's topic in General Students

    Also should note that I'm on Day 4 of nursing school for my RN & we're already working on each other in the classroom... You can't do that online. It's way more than just

  18. BSN without RN

    ErikaMarie replied to jcarver1112's topic in General Students

    To the best of my knowledge, There are zero accredited schools in the US that allow you to get your RN online, whether ASN or BSN. There may still be a couple that offer LPN-RN online, that is, you...

  19. I am reading my syllabus correctly???!!!??? Foley Cath's

    ErikaMarie replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    "Inserting foleys willy nilly on classmates" just made my day.

  20. Large dose of reality just received!

    ErikaMarie replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Day 3 is over for me. Yesterday, the teacher said we can't possibly read everything. Just the key points in the chapters

  21. Need advice on my uniform fit

    ErikaMarie replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    I had the same problem but with Large & XL. Large could have been a little looser around the hips but I was wading in the XL. I went with the large & resigned myself to lose weight. lol If...

  22. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    ErikaMarie replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I decided to go snooping in the male nursing forum wondering what the heck y'all might be talking about. I found this interesting. There are a lot of gay male nurses out there & I suppose even if...

  23. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

    ErikaMarie replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

    My community college REQUIRES that we buy a Littmann Classic II SE or better. That's a great stethoscope but is indeed too rich for my blood. I wouldn't be snotty to you, though. It's a great...

    ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone. I will be definitely using some of your suggestions. Much

  25. Studying

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone have any study tips? I skated through HS without ever studying. College has been difficult for me, especially in my science pre-reqs. I barely made it through A&P 1&2 & I had...
