Five more weeks left in last semester....

What have clinicals/nursing school taught you about yourself?

Nurse SMS replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

I have learned to look at myself for solutions. I have learned sometimes I have to work hard to find solutions. I have learned I can survive on far less sleep than I ever would have thought. I have...
Different prerequisites needed for different schools

Nurse SMS replied to meownur's topic in Texas Nursing

Everyone who has applied to multiple schools has pretty much dealt with this. Do the pre-req's for your first school of choice and apply. If you do not get in, use that time to knock out one or two...

Thinking about changing careers.

Nurse SMS replied to willowlove's topic in Nursing Career

I agree with what Esme said. The truth is, if you are moving that often ANY career you change to is going to be difficult to break into, not just nursing. Employers don't expect long term commitment...
Is there a point in celebrating holidays in nursing school?

Nurse SMS replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

Cried during lab evaluation.... now feeling horrible...

Nurse SMS replied to birdinflight's topic in General Students

You definitely are not alone. I cried too the first time I had to remediate in skills lab. You aren't the first to do it and it probably won't be the last time you will. I too am not a "crier" by...

front desk job at a medical office ?

Nurse SMS replied to Infermero's topic in General Nursing

No. A front desk job is not going to help you. Largely you will be checking people in, having them sign forms, collecting copayments, answering phones, checking people out and getting charts ready for...
If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

Nurse SMS replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

Do NOT tell him anything. You have no idea what management is planning to do. Political suicide for you if you get involved in a gossiping kind of way. Stay out of

Ready to start a family, 35, and in nursing school...

New student..what should i do?

Nurse SMS replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

80K in debt is insanity. Run. Run far far away. Run to the 4-5 year school as fast as your legs can get you there. There is no way that 80K is justified for a BSN degree, no matter HOW fast it is. And...

Nurse SMS replied to Piggles's topic in General Students

Threads being moved....

Nurse SMS replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

I appreciate threads being moved that belong in other subforums to be honest. Most of the time they are either so specific that there's no reason for them to be in the general forum (ie: region or...
No one will hire a nurse with only a Associates???

Nurse SMS replied to CNA1991's topic in General Nursing
