    Yup...always hits me about 3 weeks before the semester ends. Bad timing...real

  2. List your School Here if they do not Require the GRE's..

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think that this could become an amazing resource for those that either bombed the GRE's or are weak in Math....like me :) I plan on taking the GRE's to expand my choices, but it's nice to know where...

  3. ~~~~failed 2nd Time At 75~~~~

    justme1972 replied to momofthree's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do Suzanne's plan before you enroll in Kaplan. I plan on doing both only because our school has included Kaplan into our tuition, but I was planning on taking my chances with Suzanne's plan, mainly...

  5. Scared that I didnt pass the NCLEX today!!!

    justme1972 replied to slimgoodies's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone feels like they failed the NCLEX when they walk out. Just about Everyone. Not once have I seen someone post, "Yeah, I nailed that sucker!" or "You know...it wasn't so bad!" So...

  6. Anyone else frustrated with 12 hour shifts?

    justme1972 replied to TexasNurseEducator's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is another reason why 12-hour shift were implemented in hospitals....it alleviates quite a bit of the "she said, she said" factor. When 8-hour shifts were common...early shift blamed...

  7. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    justme1972 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    Care plans were left over from the days when you would spend a week or more in the hospital just for an appendectomy. They were originally designed for longer-term stays...so that is why we students...

  9. The Nursing Program that Lied

    justme1972 replied to **new!!'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be honest..I don't think the color of your skin has anything to do with whether or not you become a doctor or a nurse. Where I live, we have a huge number of foreign doctors...so much so, that...

  10. Has anyone failed a science course?

    justme1972 replied to Mommyto2and2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question for you...I suck at Math...I had to take a high-school level of Chemistry last year for the nursing program and I struggled the entire way through. This has significantly limited...

  11. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    justme1972 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    When you really think about it, what the OP says does make a ton of sense, and even though I am still in school, even in my short, 10-week stint as an extern this summer, I did see some of that....

  12. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    justme1972 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

  13. I stopped at 75 and no Math!

    justme1972 replied to jhowannaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't flip out yet...I have seen tons of posts of nurses who passed that also said, they had no math. Even a few that passed that had no SATA

  14. Business student considering a career change.

    justme1972 replied to coonsey1's topic in Men in Nursing

    It depends on how far you are in your current degree...if you are at Junior level or higher, my advice is to finish that degree, and then apply as a 2nd degree student to the school's nursing

  15. how to deal with a know-it-all?

    justme1972 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    The "know it alls" in our class seem to be the ones that failed this same semester last year...yeah, as if I am taking advice from them. One of them was assisting me in doing a foley a few weeks ago...

  16. HIV+ Nursing student!

    justme1972 replied to disconurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I can imagine what a day like that must have been. I was in high school when Rock Hudson died. I remember the controversy over it being "too expensive" to test the entire blood supply for Hep C (b/c...

  17. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students

    I agree...but then again...she's probably right. Before you throw something across the room at me...I'm moving toward "that age" every day and if what I am going through now is even a hint of what...

  18. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree with you more. We actually go over the questions and openly discuss them at our school for 2nd year students. We debate them in class, but if let's say, there is a question where...

  19. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students

    You make that statement as if I have never had a job in my life. I have worked since I was 16 years old. So I had about 20 years into the workforce before I decided to quit and go to nursing school....

  20. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students

    There is a HUGE difference between school and a hospital. School: I pay them for a service that they said they would provide. Work: They pay me...and if they ask me to do something, 95% of the time,...

  23. Would you turn family into CPS???

    justme1972 replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough :redpinkhe I don't blame you for not calling sooner...it's very, very hard to call on a family member because since you work in the healthcare profession, you know how these kid's...

  24. Poor economy = less applicants?

    justme1972 replied to missmj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me, there are several reasons why nursing school enrollment is down.... The lower enrollment, is due to the decrease in availability of student loans, both government and private. The private...

  25. Would you turn family into CPS???

    justme1972 replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

    This is what makes a job of a social worker hard. The "he said's, she said's". Unless you have PERSONALLY witnessed drug-use, you cannot sit in front of a social worker and tell them that you are 190%...
