  1. Failed last semester and it hurts

    natalieonaje replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

    Don't be discouraged. At least you had some very helpful teachers who were willing to help you. If nursing is what you really want to do, apply to another program. You obviously have the heart and...

  2. Can you succeed in BSN programs without Chemisty?

    natalieonaje replied to meganthe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Some programs don't require it, some do. I was going to attend Governor's State University until I found out they required organic chemistry. I instead decided to enroll at Purdue Calumet and they...

  3. Difference between getting ADN, then BSN and going straight for BSN?

    natalieonaje replied to Mbro5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my opinion, the way things are going now, if you can afford to do it, go for the BSN. More and more hospitals in the area I live (Chicago) are requiring the BSN. I just graduated from an ADN...

  4. Already only generic name of all drugs?

    natalieonaje replied to cherry merry's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I took the Kaplan review, the teacher warned us and when she went over the review questions, she only used generics. I took the NCLEX on Aug 7th and all my meds had only the generic names....

    natalieonaje replied to jeskarwr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Failed my Nclex RN first time

    natalieonaje replied to male_murse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Doesn't Kaplan have a money back guarantee if you don't pass NCLEX the first time? I would definitely take advantage of their services again by re-mediating through their course and constantly doing...

  7. Do you really need a laptop for nursing school?

    natalieonaje replied to xiomara17's topic in General Students

    If you can afford to purchase it, you should. Most schools use some kind of learning management system (moodle, blackboard, desire to learn, etc) where you have to access the class information such...

    natalieonaje replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like I was going to the county lock-up when they searched me. I had to turn my phone off in front of them and they sealed it in a bag. I had to turn my jean pockets inside out, my sweater...

    natalieonaje replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I can't believe this! Didn't they just get amnesty from taking that awful Hesi exam? I can't believe they would give their students a pitiful 7 day notice that they are shuttering their

    Hello all. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to handle this situation. I took the Hesi exam yesterday. As I was answering questions, the instructor was constantly looking over my...

  16. Need Help on an instructor who helped me fail Hesi

    natalieonaje replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

    This was a computer exam. She hovered over my shoulder as I was taking it. I felt very intimidated and nervous with her standing over me (as I think anyone in my position taking an exit exam would)...

    natalieonaje replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

    I do know which answers they were. After I completed the exam, the computer brought up all the answers that I missed with the correct ones (which is why I know the ones they were) and the

  20. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    natalieonaje replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Our pinning ceremony in my opinion was nothing special. We actually shared out ceremony with the rest of the graduates from health science college (HIA, OTA, Community Health). The rest of the people...

  21. Illinois Hospital tuition assistance

    natalieonaje replied to asillig10's topic in Illinois Nursing
