  1. Dear Nursing Instructor

    anne_in_maryland replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    In the nursing school I went to (only 5 years ago) #1 would get you thrown out of class, #2 would get you a 0 grade and #3 would get your thrown out of the program. Seriously, a girl missed a group...

  2. Am I Being Too Sensitive

    anne_in_maryland replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I wasn't being rude. I was responding to your post. And No, thank goodness, I'm not

  3. Am I Being Too Sensitive

    anne_in_maryland replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Notice I said IF she was...... Yeah, sounds like you aren't being sensitive at all.... to anyone else's feelings. After all, it is YOUR

  4. Am I Being Too Sensitive

    anne_in_maryland replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    If it was her desk or she is the director of the admissions department, I think she has the right to dictate who can answer the phone. It doesn't sound like the interaction went well on either side...

  5. Is this kind of DON the norm in this profession

    anne_in_maryland replied to LilyRosas's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    You sound like you have an attitude. If the DON "asked" instead of directed, she would be giving the nurses the impression that they could say no, which of course they can't. How can you run a...

  6. New Nursing Student - can I do this?

    anne_in_maryland replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Why would you need to try again in the Fall? Your grades are fine. If you think you are going to fail, you very well may. I didn't read 100% of the reading. I doubt most people

  7. New Nursing Student - can I do this?

    anne_in_maryland replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Take one day at a time. You sound like you are doing fine. Try not to think too far

  8. CCBC Spring 2011

    anne_in_maryland replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I graduated from Essex CCBC last year. I did not get accepted the first time I applied. I was told it was because I had not completed Micro and my 2nd Psych class. They would be completed by the...

  9. New Graduate RN in Maryland

    anne_in_maryland replied to Luckylefty87's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I work for a skilled nursing facility on a transitional care unit. We take care of people who have just had surgery, IV antibiotics, just released from shock trauma, new trachs, etc.... I guess it's...

  10. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    anne_in_maryland replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    Even with the new nursing job issues, I still think nursing is a smart field to be in. It's a tough time for anyone out there with no experience at something. But if you get your nursing degree, you...

  11. How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

    anne_in_maryland replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    I wish I got 4-6 hours a night. I worked 30 hours/week while in nursing school. It caused me to be very sleep deprived. If you don't have to work, you shouldn't have to worry. I would go to work...

  12. Instructor won't keep hands to self

    anne_in_maryland replied to elle27's topic in General Students

    I don't know, I put up with a lot of stuff because generally the school is going to support their instructors. But if ANYONE is patting my bottom and there are witnesses, I think I would have to go...

  13. not sure if getting a BSN is for me

    anne_in_maryland replied to Kayla0616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Out of 4 years of prerequisites and nursing program, maybe four weeks were spent talking about babies, and maybe a few days about

  14. A&P I ......3x!?!?!?

    anne_in_maryland replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to make sure you really have the time and focus to make it work. If you think A&P is tough, wait til you get into your first semester of the nursing program. It feels like boot camp and...

  15. How to Pay for 2nd Degree?!?!

    anne_in_maryland replied to jmh02s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not all associates degree programs are alike just as not all BSN programs are alike. I paid less than $12000 to earn my RN at an associates degree program. It was very competitive and tough. It...

  16. Nursing Prerequisites.....How Hard?

    anne_in_maryland replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No offense, but I think limiting your time to when your kids nap isn't going to do it. You may be able to get away with that while taking your prereqs. Once you get into the program, I would...

  17. Am I too old??

    anne_in_maryland replied to kimbo11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just graduated from nursing school and I am 40. There were a handful of students over your age. You are the only one who can determine if it is right for you. I would look at an ADN program...

  18. Just took the NCLEX.....

    anne_in_maryland replied to GottaGetIn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got 75 questions and at least 10 SATA's probably more. I got 3 drop in order questions and 1 math question. I passed. It sounds pretty normal to

  19. HELP... I just found out I FAILED the NCLEX for the 3rd time. I need advice !!!!!!!

    anne_in_maryland replied to NewbieToNursing's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How many hours per day are you sitting down with no interruptions and studying test questions? Have you taken the Kaplan review. The one where you go to a

  20. NCLEX question for nursing graduates

    anne_in_maryland replied to FutureNurse82's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just graduated from CCBC Essex. One guy in our class took the NCLEX less than 1 week after graduation. The CCBC programs are pretty good. I don't think a review program is necessary for

  21. NCLEX!!!!

    anne_in_maryland replied to Suzanneyoulike's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think this is pretty typical for how most people feel walking out. If I hadn't been prepared by my friend's experiences I would have been really psyched out during the

  22. Im back .....and have conquered the NCLEX Beast

    anne_in_maryland replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  24. I need advise on how to study for the TEAS exam please.

    anne_in_maryland replied to ladybug18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry alone is not going to stop you from doing well on the TEAS exam. I am not good at Chemistry either, I think I got a 30% in that section but scored in the 99th percentile overall. Just keep...

  25. cost of books this expensive??

    anne_in_maryland replied to SummerLin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to a community college and several semesters the books were more expensive than the tuition. For my first semester of nursing school, I spent $1200 on books. Buy on ebay and amazon and sell...
