  1. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    mspontiac replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I'd say from listening to your extreme negativity and the fact that you're already resigned to failure, that you won't make it anyway. I'd say maybe you should drop out, wait for a better time - or...

  2. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    mspontiac replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    My friend doesn't have a car and she works nearly full-time at Culver's. She simply plans ahead for taking the bus, and graciously accepts a ride when it's offered. She has no problems being at...

  3. Should I even be here taking up space?

    mspontiac replied to danger turtle's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above statement...if you did well, then you did something right. I wouldn't change my strategy if it works for you. The motivational thing may come along later, when your survival...

  4. My friends won't be in my study group!

    mspontiac replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Time to find new friends. This is your future, and you need to look out for yourself; these people are now training to be nurses. Blowing off studying and not taking it seriously may someday...

  5. Please help me...Do you think I'll get kicked out of nursing school?

  6. This is like going to war...

    mspontiac replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Students

    Perfect example of what the OP was talking about. Thank you for that shining

  7. Accept Admission Offer Before or After Fin Aid Award?

    mspontiac replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would accept the offer...it may not be extended again. It's risky, but worth it in my opinion. Nursing programs are difficult to get into, and it's getting tougher each year because more and more...

  8. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    mspontiac replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    Great idea!! But, I really like being able to sell back textbooks at the end of the semester. As much as I say I will refer back to them, I rarely do. I have an old textbooks that my husband had while...

  9. First attempt at the NCLEX... not so hot...

    mspontiac replied to ev40901's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't let it get you down. My husband didn't pass on his first take, and he was devastated. He paid for some private tutoring and passed the second time. At least I know when I graduate next May that...

  10. am i too old?

    mspontiac replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I turn 41 in December and will graduate with my nursing degree in May 2011. You are NOT too old! Many of my classmates are close to my age and a few are older than me. I think the oldest in our class...

  11. Patiently Waiting to find out if I got into the Nursing Program

    mspontiac replied to nique281's topic in General Nursing

    I attend Parkland College, which is the local community college. Frankly I wouldn't recommend the program to my worst enemy; I know all nursing programs are challenging but this one is incredibly...

  12. Patiently Waiting to find out if I got into the Nursing Program

    mspontiac replied to nique281's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck!!! I'm downstate from you, in Champaign. I'm just completing my second semester...I hope you get your

  13. What should I wear to see my counselor?

    mspontiac replied to norcalsurfer1977's topic in General Nursing

    When my husband was a brand new grad, he had an interview at the hospital he works for now. He went dressed in a tasteful, expensive suit and tie (he already owned it, figured he may as well use it!),...

  14. if i finished L.V.N course what degree would that be??

    mspontiac replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so sure it's a diploma, as some others are saying. My husband earned a diploma and his program was 3 years long. However, as someone else mentioned, his gen ed courses may determine that as he...

  15. No She/he Did Not!!!

    mspontiac replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    OMG! This very same thing happened to my husband at work...his co-worker wrote "Green pus-sy discharge" in her note. He asked, "Don't you mean purulent?" ....much to her

  16. Finding Balance

    mspontiac replied to Nursey103's topic in General Nursing

    In your boyfriend's defense, it really *is* difficult to understand how hard nursing school is on someone unless you have been there. My husband and I are best friends, and when he was in nursing...

  17. Finding Balance

    mspontiac replied to Nursey103's topic in General Nursing

    My husband went through nursing school before I did; he graduated, then I started attending last fall. So, he understands. But if I were in your shoes and my boyfriend hassled me *at all* about the...

    mspontiac posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello all! Thanks in advance for taking a look at my question and offering help. I am in my second semester of nursing school, and we are preparing for an oral exam on patient education. In a...

  19. patient teaching plan

    mspontiac replied to apolojo11's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for posting this info regarding teaching plans. I have read in my textbooks about "Assess, diagnose, etc..." and I understand that much of it, but I was stuck on exactly HOW to do...

  20. Womens interest in male nurses

    mspontiac replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    My husband is a nurse...he just graduated last May. It **is** unnerving to know that he is the only man on the floor surrounded by girls. Not to mention the fact that he is 31 and I am 39!! He...

  22. Age you will/were graduated?

    mspontiac replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    This is inspiring to me. I will be (a very young!) 41 when I graduate with my ADN in 2011...I see a lot of people here who are "mature", like

  23. Hot topics for NPs?

    mspontiac posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all I am not an NP, but I am aspiring to be one in the future. Right now I am still at the bottom of the ladder and I am taking my gen ed classes with the goal of being accepted as a nursing...
