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 you!

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 as I was making it a second career. My research (usi...

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 of this year completing my classes with a strong GP...

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 one piece of information that would get me on her ...

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 a Black woman, your choosing to make excuses for y...

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 undergrad/gen ed classes and you've completed your p...

Why did you think it was a joke?

I started a thread for the class of 2020 https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/roxborough-class-of-1162906.html#post9852837

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 dream!

Congratulations Caramel!!! This is so exciting! Now if the Castle Branch site could just cooperate with me -_-

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 although with Chip & Joanna it might be over priced....

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 putting deadlines in my planner!I can't wait to meet...

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 craft stores have a line called Recollections Creative...

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 better at dissection or labs than I was! I think they n...

Has anyone reapplied for 2018 entry? I didn't finish Micro in time and I'm taking stats now

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 suburban setting and the people I work with, many with 2...

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 do?

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 last fall but was able to change to audit status ...

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 schools nowadays and if I have to pay that $1000 to...

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 you. I'm starting a diploma program this fall that ha...

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 pregnancy and labor, and reviewing various policie...

I've seen nurses who wear their scopes over the shoulder, ear piece in front, bell in back. Maybe that would work?

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 within! I work p/t weekends and I love learning an...

Sending love and comfort your way (((HUGS)))
