2. "They" really don't understand!

   GraceyB replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   I feel that same way also. Thought I was alone in feeling this way. My parents know that I am in school, but just don't get it. My boyfriend is very supportive however, he drives me nuts because he thinks that I can get a D and be fine with it. He d...

3. Studying?

   GraceyB replied to bedpan's topic in General Students

   After class I get on the phone with my boyfriend and review notes to him. It helps to read out loud. He doesn't mind plus when he asks questions about things that he doesn't understand (he is in accounting) I have to explain to him and that reinforce...

4. Opinions please, am I too old??

   GraceyB replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in Career Support

   GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!! If you really want to do this, I think you should. Don't use age as an excuse for anything. Go for it, go for it, go for it. If you have any physical problems, then that may put a little damper on things such as late night studyi...

5. How do you choose a school?

   GraceyB replied to manna's topic in General Students

   Those are great questions to start with. Also compare the curriculum between schools. I went to the school that I graduated from, as a second degree student you get priority in certain things. However, I looked at another school's website and found t...

6. How many of you lived on campus or are doing so now?

   GraceyB replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

   You have to be disciplined as to your studies. Campus life is fun but at the same time tempting when you need to study but your friends are partying. You are the only one that can determine the fun that you have and how much time you dedicate to your...

7. How long is your commute?

   GraceyB replied to KristinWW's topic in General Students

   I live in NYC so I take the subway to school. About 20 minutes on the train alone and about 15 minutes from the subway to the actual classroom. Since I don't drive everyday, when I do drive it is such a relief and let's me think. If I drove to schoo...

    Are there any New York students out there? Wondering if we can keep in contact (email, phone) to support each other and even meet once a month or something like that to keep ourselves motivated, focused and all that good stuff. Good venting sessions ...

    I agree with these posts. Be COMFORTABLE and clean, what else is there when you're in the RN program. LOL. People to go to classes to pay attention. No one will notice what you are wearing unless your clothes have holes in them or you have a bad smel...
