  1. Did I screw up for good?

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

    There is always a way to get into nursing programs. I would suggest taking Chemistry over. Since you've already taken A&P twice they will take the highest grade which is a B and I don't think...

  2. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    guiltysins replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    I don't think it has anything to do with their lives or work. Some nurses simply don't like having to "babysit" nursing students. Forgetting that they were once in our position a few years

  3. A question about what nursing school covers...

    guiltysins replied to nohika's topic in General Students

    While most schools do have clinicals that are similar, the length of the clinicals are different. Some people only have their clinicals for half the semester while others have there's for the entire...

  4. Im accepted! What do I need??

    guiltysins replied to country_boy's topic in General Students

    I could pretty much restate everything everyone else said but I won't lol. Personally I hate binders, probably because I'm left handed and it causes my hand to push up against the rings. Guess I'll be...

  5. Help a bewildered nursing student find her place

    guiltysins replied to Mzjez's topic in New York Nursing

    You can get a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment for about 900-1200. I don't think you'll have much problem with that and the city is good for biking and walking and then there's the public...

  6. No experience, no job. What will happen in two years?

    guiltysins replied to biju27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think that's true. There are people that have gone a year not working. You just have to go with the flow of the job market. Relocate if you

  7. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    guiltysins replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    I agree, you can't really screen for compassion because anyone can fake that in a situation of being interviewed. There's no true way to tell if someone is compassionate. There are people who don't...

  8. Hi I'm New

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

    I'm doing a BSN, that's usually the only programs that require statistics but some associate programs require it as well. The associate degree program I was going to do only had four classes as a...

  9. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    guiltysins replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    Hi! And I do agree, sometimes it's not really all about the grades. Heck there are some nursing schools out there that take into consideration high school grades and I think that's really kinda unfair...

  10. Clueless Students

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    A lot of students do this in my school (mainly for the same reason this student is, the pharmacy program is very cut throat) and even students that aren't as clueless as this one in which they know...

  11. Clueless Students

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Students

    Ever happen to hear conversations between advisors/professors and clueless students? Sometimes I'm just amazed at how clueless some people really are about nursing? They annoy me so much because they...

  12. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    guiltysins replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    Well I think that it's not really about competition. It's about who they feel is academically qualified to be a nurse. If they are intelligent then they wouldn't be weeded out by the nursing process...

  13. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    guiltysins replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Money isn't everything and that's just how I see it. If teachers were in their career for the money, I think it's safe to say none of us would even be or had gone to nursing school period. Either way...

  14. Interesting little article.

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Nursing

    it's funny i was on yahoo today and found this article. registered nurse growth forecast: 23 percent median salary: $62,450 hospitals are hiring now, and there's no sign of slowing in the future....

  15. Is it a wise choice to take these classes together?

    guiltysins replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm actually taking those three as well (except my class is developmental psych and not general and my A&P is just Anatomy, Physio is seperate) as well as Statistics. There is nothing I can do...

  16. Anyone took Philosophy- intro to Ethics???

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

    We had to write four (2-3pg) papers. You definetely do a lot of writing with papers and class notes and even more reading, especially if you are having time grasping the material. The subject itself...

  17. HESI entrance exam

    guiltysins replied to Cporter65's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Well I bought the study guide and it was helpful, but then again our school didn't require the science portions so that was probably

  18. prereqs ?

    guiltysins replied to stephaniebrynn's topic in General Students

    There are two different categories. There are college requirements which are english, math, history ect. Then there are nursing pre-reqs which are psychology, statistics, chemistry, biology ect. The...

  19. Can I work as a graduate nurse prior to taking the NCLEX?

    guiltysins replied to SparkleRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think you'll be able to start as an RN persay. You would have to be hired as a nursing extern and still be shadowed by a RN but you would be able to practice the skills learned in clinicals....

  20. Can I still work as an aide after passing the boards?

    guiltysins replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends on the state. Some states require that once you are licensed as an RN, that's the only job you can do because I think each state has a scope of practice and once you become an RN you're out...

  21. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    guiltysins replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    again i say this as a nursing student and someone who has been a patient, if i had an option i would want someone who is both. is that so unheard of? does a passionate nurse have to lack integrity and...

  22. Current student. Any suggestions?

    guiltysins replied to Bree0421's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the link for the NCLEX 3500, it's completely free and from what I've heard, the best help. It's the RN exam but I think it should still help....

  23. hawthorne--opinion?

    guiltysins replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    I think that Nurse Jackie will probably have better ratings than Hawthorne. While it might be the better betrayal of a nurse, people like comedy more than drama. I think they are both good and no one...

  24. Beth Israel Nursing School NYC

    guiltysins replied to Shana J's topic in New York Nursing

    I understand why they would want to know why but I find it pretty stupid to be so worried about someone's HS grades when you have someone that is sitting in front of them with 2 BA degrees. A lot of...

  25. GPA

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

    I understand completely, I've got a 4.0 in all of my non-science courses too. Unfortunately my school looks at it overall and doesn't seperate them. So with the science courses it brings my gpa down...
