    So we can't wear clogs...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just because a reason was not spelled out, doesn't mean there isn't an actual reason. Just as a parent does not have to spell out every rationale for their rules and actions. When my child was young,...

    I need advice on if I can change my record.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to dakota0898's topic in General Students

    I would visit your states site here on allnurses and see if anyone has an answer to that question. In my state, a student who has competed 3 semesters used to be eligible to sit for the LPN NCLEX....

    Will these grades get me in the ADN program or not?

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

    ADN programs are not as competitive as they used to be, as many people feel it is not worth it (going right for the BSN). It all depends on what other options are available in your area, and how much...

    Recently Re-admitted to nursing school after failing out due to illness

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    How many courses would you need to challenge, and how long have you been out of the program? Also, how were your grades before you became ill? These are key factors here. Also, how do you plan to...

    So sick of A&P

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

    I agree with everything you said except for the memorizing part. Yes, you need to know the anatomy, and you have to understand the physiology. It's much more than memorizing, hence the reason so many...

    Simulation today....advice needed please :)

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Agreed. You are going in with a lot of info. You just have to see what the patient does. I know students love to go into the sim and "do"; give meds, treat something... Anything!! But before you...

    Got first nursing job but can't afford loan payments

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The other thing (not for the OP because its too late ), but there are way too many people buying high-priced educations, with no forethought about how they will pay it off. If they were Harvard or...

    Got first nursing job but can't afford loan payments

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I second this. A lot of people font like her "brutally honest" approach, but everything she says makes perfect sense. She HATES private student loans. Se also hates when people spend thousands of $...

    Along these lines, one that has recently really bothered me is adding an s to a plural that already has an s. Example: I stopped by you GUYS'S house and no one was

    Nursing Classroom Education: The big bang of powerpoint slavery

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to guest042302019's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is what I often find as well. In fact, I recently forgot to post the PP for a lecture. and I put it up on the projector, and panic literally ensued. PowerPoint, in general, can be a very...

    Want to quit nursing school.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    Im curious to know more about the OPs family life. Have you ever told them that this is not what you want to do? What was the conversation like when you were graduating HS and looking into colleges?...

    Accredited vs. Not

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Spartanguy625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was not aware of this Elkpark. I haven't heard that it has drastically affected the graduates of my former school(or the other schools in my area), so I made an Assumption.

    Do Not Underestimate the Difficulty Level of Nursing School

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

    Love this post! I especially agree 100% with the points I quoted above. The study group one, maybe not 100% (depends on who is in the group). And yes, CRITICAL THINKING is key. Students love to roll...

    online school vs traditional

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to hanshinn81's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm looking into going back for my PhD. I know for me, I NEED to do it the old fashion way. I tried one semester of online for my MSN. it was 10 years ago, I and a small child at the time and I...

    Accredited vs. Not

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Spartanguy625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well-known Elkpark is right! It's like an urban legend. Look it up on snopes (lol). As someone who graduated from a non-accredited ADN program, I had no problems getting into the BSN and masters...

    Does anybody know anybody that has been pregnant in nursing program?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    Considering the age and primary gender if nursing student, I think everyone here can say that they knew someone who was pregnant during nursing school. I was during my BSN (had my ADN, and was going...

    Do you have to be great in math to be become a RN?!?

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

    Not true of all CUNY schools. Many of them have their own entrance exams, like NLN, HESI or ATI, which all have math sections. It's amazing how someone can get an A in a college math class and do...

    Question about NY NLNAC accredited nursing programs

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to valentino8981's topic in General Students

    It matters, but it really doesn't matter. The NLNAC accreditation means that your school/program meets a standard of excellence (kind of like Magnet). The process of accreditation is daunting, time...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The other key thing that potential ADN students need to insure about: does the school have an agreement or partnership with a BSN program. This is becoming more popular in my area. The school I teach...
