Hello sam1998. I noticed this post of yours was about a year ago. Are you working as an RN now? When you were applying to other hospitals while working as a CNA with your RN license, did you list your current work experience as a CNA on your applicat...
Wow! I love it ... that was so inspirational. I hope one day I can touch many nurses in the future through my experiences as you did with me. I felt tearing up as well as smiling throughout the time I was reading your post! Great job and keep it up!!...
Hi everyone. I'm glad I came across this thread. I will be taking the NCLEX-RN in March and I know it seems a little too far away from now, but I am a bit scared! I believe that praying really played a big part for me in getting through school. So I ...
I'm so strongly for keeping myself healthy especially when you're in school! I religiously went to the gym at least 3 times a week after my first semester in school and it helped me a lot in controlling my stress and my body didn't feel so sluggish i...
No way ... you're never too old to go back to school! My mother went back to school for nursing when she was in her early 50s and did so well in all her classes. It's been about 10 yrs since she finished school and she's still working! She loves her ...
Hi tommsbomb! Well, you've made it this far and successfully passed so all you need to do is believe in yourself that you'll pass this last semester. You have it in you! I'm sure you know how to prioritize your time by now, so you'll be able to survi...
Yes. I'm totally feeling burned out! I have a week and a half left and I have so many things to do before graduation. Hang in there though. We're almost done. After Dec 19th I'm celebrating!!
I think it's normal to feel this way especially when you're almost done. I'm feeling the same way as well! I only have a week and a half left of preceptorship and I can't shake off the feeling that I might screw up and mess up my chances of graduatin...
WHOO HOO!! You're almost done. It is difficult and I can totally relate. Right now I'm doing my preceptorship in the ER and I'm so stressed out. But just a few more weeks and we'll be done! Congrats for getting this far and good luck!!

I don't know where you're (carter1228) hearing this from, but I graduated from ELAC and I totally disagree with you that ELAC's program is horrible. The teachers are great. They are very helpful and professional. The only relationships I built with m...
Hang in there. I had a clinical teacher just like that. I cried a few times during clinicals and as vashtee said "it's just like bootcamp," it actually is like bootcamp. I feel like some clinical instructors do this to try to break down the students ...

Before applying to nursing programs, I had a BS degree. I am now finishing up my ADN program and it was a better choice for me. I saved a lot of money. Good luck!!!
Hang in there! I had to pass my math exams with a 90%. I would practice with at least 10 math problems everyday, even after I passed my math exams, just to make sure I don't lose it. Study hard and good luck! You will make it!! :wink2:
Good job. You being assertive got what you deserved! I remember a similar situation that I was in with a group presentation. Our grade came out to be a C and we all spoke with our instructor and asked her to breakdown the grading criteria. After what...
I have lost a few friends along the way through nursing school, but the true ones stuck around and were understanding. I was pretty sad about it, but in the long run I just got way too busy to even think about it. I've made more friends in the progra...
