  1. The Color of Care

    What a great article! As a Black nurse, even I have difficulty assessing some clients because my education lacked the diversity of the patient population I see. Thank
  2. It’s absurd to believe that people with chronic issues absolutely cannot enter nursing. Should nurses who develop diseases after entering the position get out?? I researched the hell out of nursing...
  3. Roxborough SON Class of 2019

    How many classes do you have remaining? Have you taken your TEAS yet? I applied in winter 2017 but I still had 3 classes to complete. I took my TEAS in March of 2017, spent the rest of 2017 and part...
  4. I just don't understand how you can support racism as the reason for dismissal. I fully agree that the "Black tax" exists and the medical field in general is overwhelmingly biased but she offered not...
  5. It seems like your lack of responsibility is what's lead to your dismissal. I'm not familiar with international studies and transfer options so I can't help you there. One thing I will say is that as...
  6. Accepted! Not so fast....

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I know it's disappointing but I also believe there's a reason for everything. You should not go any further into debt to pursue your career. If you already have many...

    I can't believe we have to pay to access them AND pay to get the fingerprints! Ugh! I'm gonna count it all in the joy of being one step closer to my

    Congratulations Caramel!!! This is so exciting! Now if the Castle Branch site could just cooperate with me
  11. Temple/Waco/Killeen area

    Copperas Cove is small but nice and quiet. I think my husband (Army retired gov't employee), teen, and I would have liked living in Harker Heights as it was a little more diverse. Waco is great...

    Ayesha that's awesome! I interviewed today and I'm in! Praise God! I have a few ends to tie up but I am so excited! The timeline is no joke! I celebrated with my family and then immediately started...
  13. Best Planner for Nursing School

    Classes don't start til Aug but I used an Erin Condren Life Planner when I was taking my pre-reqs. Very organized, functional and pretty but VERY expensive once I personalized it ($75)! Michael's...
  14. Portage Learning Classes

    I absolutely love Portage because of the self pacing aspect but also because the labs are awesome! It's annoying to be in a brick & mortar college and randomly stuck with students who are no...

    Has anyone reapplied for 2018 entry? I didn't finish Micro in time and I'm taking stats
  16. My inner snowflake

    I left a white collar tech job and decided to pursue my dream of working in medicine. I had no degree and yet still managed to work hard, have fun, and be professional. I now work in an ED in a...

    Still have to get my transcripts to them but I scored pretty well on my TEAS (80) so hopefully there will be seats left. How'd you
  19. I need help with A&P2

    You either need to defer your course until you can make time or find time to study. Online classes have been difficult for me in the past so I normally do brick & mortar classes. I was failing AP2...

    I'm applying too! Thanks to snowmageddon my TEAS has been moved to Friday I'm still working on my personal statement but for the most part my app is ready to submit. The fees seem within normal for...
  21. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    If you're doing ADN because it's easier, it's not, just shorter. You may only have 9 credit hours but you still have clinical rotations. If your reason for switching is the clinical time, I'm with...
  22. Nursing Student From Hell

    It seems odd that you never saw any inkling of this side of your student until she had to be primary. It sounds like you did a lot of work with her, staying after shift, discussing A&P related to...
  23. Stethoscope cover for men?

    I've seen nurses who wear their scopes over the shoulder, ear piece in front, bell in back. Maybe that would
  24. if you get a job in the ED, it could help. Even unit secretary (my current job) allows me exposure to the environment, the nurses, docs and other staff know my work ethics, and they like to hire from...
