  1. College Cost Venting

    sunray12 replied to mitakashi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is a little long. There are paragraph breaks and other punctuation you can use to make it more readable if you want to get your point across. If you money is so tight for you then why are...

  2. What made you quit your job and go into Nursing?

    sunray12 replied to bronzemint23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not quitting - I'm transitioning. :) Right now I work ft and sake prereqs full time. I was in my advisor's office yesterday and she had a chart which recommends the appropriate class load based on...

  3. I Hate Surg!!!

    sunray12 replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what they're trained for. I think they have doctoral degrees in it - DPharm. What's the proper role of the RN in this? Obviously it s/he should never guess - that's one crazy doctor for...

  4. Bombed a test

    sunray12 replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even under the most optimal of circumstances where you have a dream teacher and you study everything just right there is going to be some material that you understand better than others and that's...

  5. Looks Like the End of the Line for Me

    sunray12 replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Students

    Why defeat yourself before u even try? Just do your best and hope for the best. Hopefully things will go well. If they don't - then take a math course (or 2 or 3) during your time off. If nursing is...

  6. Does nursing have to be your "calling" for you to be a great nurse?

    sunray12 replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    By your friend's definition many priests, church ministers and other people in religious life must be lying about God's call simply because they had other careers before they took up the ministry....

  7. Help me with my dilemma

    sunray12 replied to shupagirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like your goal is FNP or PA but you don't have offers for either right now. Do you have an interest in being a RN? If yes, then you should go to nursing school now. If not then maybe you...

  8. I'm not sure!

    sunray12 replied to jnw09's topic in General Nursing

    One point means you could have just as easily have passed. So no worries. You can do

  9. Ready to throw in the towel!

    sunray12 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Go black to clerical work?? Surely you jest - especially in this economy. The way to play this game is to get through it and get your license. Have blinders on with regard to your classmates if you...

  10. Do ADN's have trouble getting hired now that everyone is getting a BSN

    sunray12 replied to katierinsd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my state I think there are more ADN prepared RN's coming out of schools than BSN prepared RN's. The 2 year programs are well respected - of course many people go on to get higher level degrees...

  11. Don't wear gloves when doing vitals on post-partum mom

    sunray12 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    +1 Like OP I'd be pretty shocked to be told not to wear gloves. That's not a make or break issue. Plenty of food prep workers also think gloves are optional - but that's not the way I see it. As a...

  12. Crossroads at age fifty.

    sunray12 replied to minokismom's topic in General Students

    You don't need a 4.0 to get into nursing school. And you don't have to move - unless of course you want to. You may not be able to get into a program in your state community college or nursing school...

  13. RN Online?

    sunray12 replied to Pawz_Beakz's topic in General Students

    Hi: Go to your state board of nursing website. It should have a list of all the programs recognized in your state and which online programs are recognized in your state. This is a better way to find...

  14. Unaccredited Nursing School Scams

    sunray12 replied to mcostello2926's topic in General Nursing

    Look up your state board of nursing website. It has a list of all approved nursing programs in your state. If a school is not listed on the BON website then it is not approved in your state and if you...

  15. When should I take Chemistry?

    sunray12 replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They're hard for many of us even at the 100 level - including those of us who went to colleges and universities were the profs published - and for those of us who have been published. I know phd's...

  16. Question about pre-reqs

    sunray12 replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep they're all different. There are some basics like college math, english and a&p and the rest varies depending on the school. Your adviser will give you a checklist so that you can keep track...

  17. You know what I don't understand?

    sunray12 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you have to be enthralled with every course in any given major to want to go into that field. I found some chapters of a&p interesting and others not interesting (okay boring! :) )....

  18. How do you get medical experience?

    sunray12 replied to travisandjamie01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting your cna is not straying off track. The cna cert is actually required by some nursing schools and if you get a cna job you'll have patient care experience which a lot of nursing schools like...

  19. My concerns about being a nurse!?!

    sunray12 replied to nurse in the making's topic in General Nursing

    You write in a lot of hyperbole. How in the world is it possible for everyone to be looking for a way out, any way out of gainful employment after five years?? There are many nurses who like or even...

  20. When should I take Chemistry?

    sunray12 replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO you should be able to take chem with one of the A&P's because they involve two different ways of studying. A&P involves a lot of memorization whereas Chem is analytical. So if you are good...

  21. Angry with school problem - NEED ADVICE!!!

    sunray12 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Was your teacher playing hardball? I've been going to school for many dozen years and never saw someone get a 0 grade for completed work unless there was cheating involved. Granted from your...

  22. I study for an exam and very little of the material is on the actual test

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try answering the short answer questions at the end of the assigned chapters in your textbook. In my a&p courses we always had exam objectives but it wasn't enough just to memorize them. You had...

  23. Anybody Else Overwhelmed w/this Semester Already??!!!

    sunray12 replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    I'm prenursing but my semester has been going on for a while now. I'm knee deep in the hoopla and taking a final for one class next

  24. Will the nursing field become saturated with new graduate nurses in a few years?

    sunray12 replied to mariposabella's topic in General Nursing

    In response to the title of this thread - No. OP is making this post I think because of the numerous threads on this board and maybe on others by people experiencing the frustration of looking for...

  25. Yes, I work full time!

    sunray12 replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. Where I come from every adult works - unless they're unable to. It would never occur to me to think one spouse would not work because the other does ____ (fill in the blank). Didn't...
