    Too old, too new, too soon for free FNP??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Tony1790's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I say do it! Don't pass up a free degree. I was younger when I got mine, but I know plenty of people who have gotten masters degrees at that age, even older. If the time is right in your life, go...

    Not true. Friends of friends can see your activity. If I "like" or comment on a photo or status, my friends can see it (even if they are not friends with the person I am commenting on. You need to be...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that bothers me too. And the assumption that all nurses really wanted to be doctors, but couldn't cut it. I had a student who admitted they want to be a doctor, and it shows. Not in a negative...

    Why do people fail the NCLEX?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Yayamaya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my 8+ years of teaching, I can count on one hand the number of students who failed that I was actually surprised about. The ones that I was surprised about waited to long to take the test. The...

    So,I just randomly clicked on a user profile (of someone who has a 'selfie' as their avatar). I found out a lot about this person: their gender, age, how many children, what he/she does for a living,...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a very interesting thread. I feel like in the last few months there have been a lot more avatars that look like actual people (as opposed to cartoons, cute nurse pics or animals). The thought...

    Has anyone ever failed and had to readmit?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to tabz4u2's topic in General Students

    You're not an idiot. You started behind the 8-ball. In hindsight (and if this should ever happen again), make the decision to delay your start time. If you had gone to your professor in the beginning...

    C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 2016hun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on the school, the semester, and who else is applying with you (or against you). Most schools will look at the pre-requisites first (sciences that are applicable to nursing), psych,...

    "cutesy" printed scrubs - staff response?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm going to be an old fart and go against the grain here. I think in the majority of specialties, they look unprofessional. I was a Peds nurse, and I did get caught up in having every character...

    So lost, confused, angry.. future in nursing troubles

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to katerinsols's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For many schools, the pre-req courses are the ones you need to concentrate on. They will look at the overall GPA, but if it's A&P that brings it down, your chances are not good. Early may is kind...

    How hard to pay off 50k debt on a nurses salary?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to BOSS man's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious: is this an ADN or a BSN? If it is for an ADN, do you plan on getting the BSN? Since I live in a much more expensive part of the country, my comparison may not be valid. But I make a...

    PhD or EdD?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Entravel's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am waiting on an acceptance to a PhD program, strictly out if convenience, location and price. When I was in my MSN (education) program I was convinced that I'd go for the EdD. This was quite a...

    How long did you wait

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to muirite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I would stay on the wait list for the public schools, or look into a BSN program. I am assuming most of these wait-list situations are ADN programs (correct me if I'm wrong). As commuter...
