  1. First Bump on a Bumpy Road

    guiltysins replied to NickB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ridiculous! If you are a midwife in a few years and in my area I will certainly allow you "down there" when I have kids

  2. Does it matter...?

    guiltysins replied to salarany's topic in New York Nursing

    Not really. They all follow similar cirriculum. However, private universities are more expensive but usually have easier admissions than the public schools and community colleges. Some people will...

  3. A&P and microbiology in the same semester?

    guiltysins replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    I took Anatomy and Micro together and I wouldn't say it's impossible but it is a lot of work. For me I did way more studying in Anatomy than I did in Micro (My micro class was fairly easy but that's...

  4. What Pre Req Books have helped while in Nursing school?

    guiltysins replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I'm keeping my A&P book, if anything because my bookstore won't take it back lol. I plan on keeping all of my nursing books though, some people in my school actually sell those back! I don't get...

  5. Hope to get some help

    guiltysins replied to igal frumin's topic in New York Nursing

    Nursing school is hard work but definetely not impossible. It involves a lot of dedication and a lot of time to study. Mentally it can be really hard. Some students cry or get really frustrated but if...

    guiltysins replied to Servingshots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. How do you pay for school?

    guiltysins replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    Well I still live with my parents so I don't have any bills and I don't have a job because I don't want to work while in nursing school. My school is about 24K a year not including books and such. I...

  8. BSN acceptance tougher than 4 years ago?

    guiltysins replied to Boy-->RN2b's topic in General Students

    It depends on the program. I think overall most schools are adopting more stricter policies for admission. Some start adding new requirements while others raise the current gpa and entrance exam...

  9. Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    guiltysins replied to NStiger88's topic in General Students

    I don't think professors are out to get anyone. HOWEVER, I think it's wrong for everyone to dismiss the idea that there are just some professors who don't know how to teach properly in a way that...

  10. HESI's unfair practice of holding nursing students back after completing the programs

    guiltysins replied to bbrown6's topic in General Students

    Does you school only use the HESI when you're about to graduate. Because my school uses the HESI's every semester for students to go onto the next phase in the program. Also, how can you say it covers...

  11. Volunteering......Good or Bad??

    guiltysins replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I don't think there are any bad consequences of volunteering. As far as helping you with your program. It depends on two things. One it depends on if your program takes into consideration medical...

  12. I Never Thought They'd HATE Me...

    guiltysins replied to c3p0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't get people who bash nursing. I'm sure they really don't disrespect those people that take care of their behinds when they are in the hospital. If everyone thought the way they did we wouldn't...

    guiltysins replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

  15. Experience Needed to be NP

    guiltysins replied to ash122's topic in General Students

    It depends on what school you go to. If it's not a BSN/MSN most require that you have a year or two of experience as a nurse in the specialty you are interested in before you start your master's...

  16. Classmates using you as a pincushion?

    guiltysins replied to xyra's topic in General Students

    Our school also doesn't allow practice on eachother. If you choose to do it outside of the school that is your business but it's not allowed during class. It seems like a bad idea to me. What if...

  17. professors?

    guiltysins replied to sweetiepeas's topic in General Students

    All college teachers are professor's. They don't have to have a Ph.D to be called professors. Ph.D teachers/professors usually like to be called Dr's. Like one of my professor we called him Dr. S (not...

  18. need help with the application

    guiltysins replied to omianly's topic in General Students

  19. Nurses Going to Med School

    guiltysins replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    I think everyone needs to calm down. To the person that said nursing is considered an easy major, I'd hate to tell you this but they are right. On the outside looking in a lot of people consider...

  20. Freaking out soon-to-be first semester nursing student

    guiltysins replied to ajulian87's topic in General Students

    I'm freaking out now and I don't start until September. It just seems like so much information I don't understand how someone can possibly remember it and keep it as knowledge vs memorization. But I...

  21. First night off orientation- feeling overwhelmed

    guiltysins replied to ibambamama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can I just ask what hospital you work in? I'm looking into L&D and I'd love to have the support you did. Maybe even work with you someday

  22. nursing student confused

    guiltysins replied to G2o14's topic in General Students

    Is the LPN program easier to get into? It depends on the school you are applying to. Since you're doing it at a community college you must be getting a ADN but if your school doesn't give extra...

  24. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I guess some of the students felt that the non-clinical/lab courses would be simple. They were shocked to find out that you had to write research
