  1. What do we REALLY need to be successful during school?

    RNDreamer replied to blessedx2's topic in General Students

    NCLEX review books have been enough for me so far. Our school gave us PDAs to use, but we rarely use them. Oh, and browsing through this website, especially the Student Assistance forum was very...

  2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    RNDreamer replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are driving everyone

  3. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    RNDreamer replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    To Prof. A: Thanks for being strict with grading our quizzes. It's the reason why I get perfect scores on the exams. To Prof. B: You asked for suggestions on how you can make the class understand the...

    RNDreamer replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's time to put an end to this before it somehow turns into an accusation of you doing something to

  6. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    RNDreamer replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I am about the OP's size, maybe a tad larger. There is no way I would go to work braless. (The corner store, maybe, wearing a winter coat ) There are too many stores like Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart,...

  7. Depressed with first semester

    RNDreamer replied to lynz06's topic in General Students

    How do you study? If I were in your situation, I would read the chapter(s) before class and make notes/questions about whatever I don't understand. Then go to class and ask questions. If I don't...

  8. Wearing all white

    RNDreamer replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think mandating an all white uniform will necessarily mean that people will automatically start ironing their uniforms etc. I think that there are some people who will come to work with too...

  9. I Need Your Opinion....

    RNDreamer replied to robynnelpnstudent's topic in General Students

    People have many different reasons why they drop out. Some people realize that nursing is not for them. Or maybe they aren't ready to make the commitment that it takes to succeed in Nursing School....

  10. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

    RNDreamer replied to mike1973's topic in General Students

    Clinicals/check offs are pass/fail...Some classes are graded strictly by exams and quizzes. Other classes include papers, assignments, and presentaions/group projects in the grading

  11. Help: Taking out stains on uniform?

    RNDreamer replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I wish I saw before last week. I tried using Oxy-clean, but it didn't work too well. I ended up using white out to cover it up, because I refused to buy a new pair. Clorox never seems to work for me...

  12. Patho and Pharm together online?

    RNDreamer replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Students

    I am taking them both now (not online), along w/2 other classes. Keep up with the reading and studyinhg and you should do

  13. Horrible study skills

    RNDreamer replied to shippoRN's topic in General Students

    my habits vary with each class. With the classes that have exams that are more 'fact based' (like Patho, Pharm) I create study guides with the PP slides. What I do is read the chapters before class,...

    RNDreamer replied to Eccentric's topic in New York Nursing

    How did you apply for the position at good sam? Online or in person and how long did it take for them to call you. I am having a hard time finding jobs and I applied to a few patient care positions...

  18. From KBCC to Hunter College or......

    RNDreamer replied to Eccentric's topic in New York Nursing

    IMO, it is easy to get in, but once you are in you will be working your butt off. I think people have this misconception that if it is easy to get in, they won't have to work hard. LOL, they find out...

  20. What makes Nursing school so hard?

    RNDreamer replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Students

    the hardest thing for me is being confident in my first gut answers. I have a problem second guessing myself and changing answers. I am in my first semester and just finished half of it. While I do...

    RNDreamer replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    They give you a million assignments to do, then pack on a million more...because the first million just wasn't enough.

  23. My RN venture ended today.

    RNDreamer replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Hopeful, I KNOW you will come back and come back strong. Good luck. Proudmom of 3, don't let this discourage you. If you want to be a nurse than go for it. I never understood what the heck was so...

    RNDreamer replied to Eccentric's topic in New York Nursing

    I contacted the BON and the passing rate for last year was 95.9% for LIU. I think for this year it is a little higher, I think 98% but I haven't verified it yet. And yes, it's hard to stay in this...
