  2. Didn't get the scholarship I applied for . . .

    PeachyERNurse replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to hear about that:o. I also didn't get a similar scholarship, which I desperately need to pay for school. I was sooooooo devastated. I damn near had a nervous breakdown because I have no...

  3. Nursing Student HATES Nursing Assistant Job

    PeachyERNurse posted a topic in General Students

    Before I started nursing school I was really freaked out because I've never worked in a hospital and I wasn't sure what to expect when we started clinicals. So, I decided to get a job as a PCT on a...

  5. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    PeachyERNurse replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure why, but I have this overwhelming feeling that I'm destined to be an OR nurse. It's weird because I've never been in an OR or seen a surgery (except on TV). We'll

  6. "It shouldn't be that hard to be a nurse"

    PeachyERNurse replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!!! That's EXACTLY what happened to me! My advisor told me I'd never get into the nursing program with my GPA and that I should "consider another major." I too graduated in a BA (in Sociology...

  7. Nursing Student HATES Nursing Assistant Job

    PeachyERNurse replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    Whoa! I'm the OP and if you read the original post you would have seen that I clearly stated that I DO NOT tell the nurses that I am a nursing student. In no way do I think I know ANYTHING about how...

    PeachyERNurse replied to Esther2007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    2 more days to go:roll! We're all getting WASTED after our last final :beer: . But we only get a week and a half off and then it's back to school for 20 hours of clinicals and 12 hours didactic for...

    PeachyERNurse replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    OMG!!! I never thought I'd get so many responses when I started this thread. I just needed some place to vent. First of all I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. Well, I'm definitely...

  13. How many credits are too much??

    PeachyERNurse replied to Crux1024's topic in General Students

    When I was doing my pre-reqs (in conjunction with earning credits toward my BA in Sociology) I did two semesters of 23 credits each. Crazy, I know. Probably too much, but I didn't care; I was...

  14. Guess what RN's, you didn't need that college degree!!

    PeachyERNurse replied to welnet66's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Seriously???!!! You don't have to graduate from nursing school to sit for the NCLEX-RN? That can't be right. So, anyone can apply for a nursing degree in

  15. Guess what RN's, you didn't need that college degree!!

    PeachyERNurse replied to welnet66's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I read that too, but I was so confused cuz you definitely need some type of degree (diploma, LPN, ADN, BSN) to be a nurse. Duh! We should write a letter to Parade's editor (or whoever) to set the...

  16. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    PeachyERNurse replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're welcome. When I started (last fall), they wanted an actual copy of the card. They've since changed the student health form, so they may just take your word for it. I'm not sure. I took my...

  18. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    PeachyERNurse replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't think USF accepts the Red Cross CPR class. You have to take a class certified my the American Heart Association unless they've changed that stupid rule. I'm in the 2nd semester of USF's 2nd...

  19. Nursing school and social life?

    PeachyERNurse replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    LOL! Same here. I did just start talking to this guy though, even though I SO don't have time for him. Nursing school consumes EVERY second of my life (even my sleep, cause I'm having nightmares...

  20. Take at least 6 units and never repay loans?

    PeachyERNurse replied to gordonarkell's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It IS true that as long as you are enrolled for at least 6 credits your loans can continuously be deferred. But, as someone said, your loans will continue to accrue interest, so I'm not sure it's...

  21. Did you work when going to nursing school?

    PeachyERNurse replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in an accelerated 2nd degree BSN program. I work 36-50 hours a week. I have class on Monday, and clinicals on Tuesday and Thursdays. I work Tuesday & Friday thru Sunday. I have...

    PeachyERNurse replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Right on Ben! I'm not a nurse yet (I graduate in December), but I can't imagine ever going without a pee or lunch break. Ben is right; if you don't take your breaks, you have no one to blame but...

    PeachyERNurse replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a PCT/nursing student. I also recently had my first patient die. Well, he wasn't mine, he was another PCT's but I had to help her provide post mortem care. I've only been to two funerals in my...

    PeachyERNurse replied to yoyoming1001's topic in Connecticut Nursing
