  1. HELP with panic attacks.

    middleageNP replied to middleageNP's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that I don't understand or know the materials, it's the inability to recall them when I'm taking tests. Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm going to try the breathing exercise...BEFORE...

    middleageNP posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm currently in an accelerated BSN program and finding that it's harder to maintain my 4.0 GPA than my prereqs courses. I'm worried that by sticking with the accl program, my GPA won't be good enough...

    middleageNP replied to lr0012's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I've researched them all and all I can say is NO.. Faulkner is very disorganized. Teachers show up wrong time for class, tells you to study for these chapters then tests you on some other material...

  7. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    middleageNP replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. 30 credit hours semester

    middleageNP replied to middleageNP's topic in General Nursing

    This is an accelerated course with the University of Alabama. I think fast track course from other schools carries about the same outrageous load (someone correct if I'm wrong) As I've mentioned...

  11. Is anyone here a Clinical Nurse Leader?

    middleageNP replied to middleageNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I'm going directly from no degree to MSN CLN with no nursing experience. :selfbonk: and I'm scared to death. University of South Alabama just began their CNL program this coming spring, so this...

  12. How competitve is the University of South Alabama?

    middleageNP replied to maverickemt's topic in Alabama Nursing

    They are open to outsiders, but the competition is fierce. Accepting 50-60 students out of 500 applicants. High GPA with your sciences and math is very important. If you have most of this criteria,...

  16. Who votes?

    middleageNP replied to sanctuary's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your sentiment and I feel the same sometimes. But unfortunately, America is in a situation where voting 3rd party isn't a luxury any more. If what you believe in is closest to Dems or...

  17. nurse & dr affair, what should I do?

    middleageNP replied to sandee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In this world, it is common to disapprove another for doing something we think is immoral. But we really don't have the right to do that. No one has a right to judge or tell how another should behave...

  18. LPN feels like QUITTING school!

    middleageNP replied to sourkuss's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there...Don't let your instructor get in the way of what you want to do. I hate it when professors humiliate students when they ask questions. You pay good money to be taught a specific...

  22. Schools without waiting lists

    middleageNP replied to P_RN's topic in General Students

    Though there is no waiting list, I think admittances are extremely competitive. Determining factor is weighted heavily on GPA. Here in Southern Alabama, every nursing school on average, accepts about...

    middleageNP replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

  24. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    middleageNP replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing
