  1. I Feel The World Wants Me To Fail

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Dreamer87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i hate reading posts on this site where a person feels really discouraged over the process of getting into nursing school. it is a competitive and challenging program. you mentioned your gpa is a...

  2. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is not true. I would encourage you to visit different school's financial aid websites and see what percentage of students receive financial assistance. The percentages are not at 100. Also,...

  3. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    My total student loan debt is about $75,000. The debt amount is not hard to accumulate when there isn't any financial aid extended and the only way of paying for the expenses is with student loans....

  4. ATI STORM!!!!!!!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to KAYBDT6's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Every bit of content you have learned will be on that exam, including dosage calculation problems and pharm. I am not sure of the percentages in each category. You may want to research it on ATI’s...

  5. ATI TRICK!!!!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to KAYBDT6's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are ATI exams that need to be taken at the end of each nursing course (not all schools do this). It is a predictor of how well you will do in that section on the NCLEX. I have found the...

  6. help the school messed up my grade and now stating i didn't pass!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to nursemoe09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do you keep records of your grades? If not, perhaps the instructor will give you your tests scores and checks off again. Then I would compare the numbers with the syllabus to see if I indeed earned a...

  7. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I could not have said it better Miss Gwen. I have an undergraduate degree in business and decided the LPN route. My scores are high enough to get into the RN program, but the way the cirriculum is...

  8. How young is too young to teach LPN students?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to dblpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think you bring up an interesting point. When I was working on my first undergraduate degree, I had instructors who were TA's (Teaching Assistants). They were young graduate students working...

  9. ATTN: IVY Tech students!!! Need your input.

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For those of you who are applying to one of IVY Tech's nursing programs, can you please indicate: The grades of your courses (Anatomy and Physiology 1&2, Psychology, and English), your TEAS test...

  10. Too much estrogen! Women! Ahh!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ZanatuBelmont's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In reading your post, I did not find any malice in your intentions. You apologized to the girl several times and she still decided to leave upset. She made the decision to leave and now those are...

  11. Question about A&P

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks like BSCI 20020 Bilogical Structure and Function 5 maybe your Anatomy and Physiology course since the title of the course is biological structure and function. A&P discuss the structure...

  12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1. I am sorry that you are not passing Med/Surg and Dosage Calculations; perhaps if you attended class more often, you wouldn't be in this predicament. 2. If you are going to use large...

  13. Fundamentals completed

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I felt like Fundamental s was a course that “skimmed” the surface of what was to come. We covered a lot about five chapters a week (about 20 chapters for an exam). The problem I have is that I...

  14. I was wondering if some of you nursing students can answer my questions.

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to TCLA's topic in General Students

    First, are there any courses you do better in than others (it doesn’t matter the courses)? For me, I am stronger in sciences and math. The reason I do well in those areas is because I am interested...

  15. " Evening students do better on exams then day students" ?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Do you suppose classmates in the day class have friends who attend the evening class? If so, then perhaps they care discussing with their friends the questions on the test. There was another poster...

  16. New RN Student.

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Linznow's topic in General Students

    If you are having difficulty with College Algebra, I would most certainly get that down first before worrying about Med/Surg. I say this because as you know, you will have Dosage Cal and Pharm...

  17. Question about Nursing school

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I have to say our instructors work really hard in presenting the material and preparing their students for both their exams and the ATI practice exams. They pass out copies of the Powerpoint lecture...

  18. Has anyone gotten a private loan recently?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to booklovinrn's topic in General Students

    I got my private loan through Sallie Mae. My Equifax score was a 774 at the time. I have a mortgage, auto loan, and two student loans. I also have one Visa card and an AMEX card. I applied online...

  19. Can I start taking classes for RN to BSN program even before im an RN??

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to alwaysbroken704's topic in General Students

    Look into your school’s requirements. Most generally the nursing courses build upon one another so I doubt you would be able to start any of those courses prior to finishing your associate’s...

  20. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Congrats on being accepted into your program. There are a few pointers I would like to make about nursing school. First, don't go into the program with the expectation of having straight A's....

  21. Need your support guys.........I Feel like a real pansy!!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to malestudentnurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Today, a fight is a lot more involved than just a fight. I have a brother-in-law who was involved in a bar fight about three years ago. It sounds like the same situation. Another guy swears my...

  22. I was denied a maternity leave.

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    Who told you this information? It sounds to me like they are engaging in discriminatory practices. Have you begun going up the chain of command? If anyone needed to take a leave of absence at our...

  23. Update on Transgender nursing Student

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    does the school accept openly gay students into the program? if so, then how can the school say that your gender reassignment “would go counter to the schools morals and values”. most public...

  24. Mom & Dad were right: I'm a screw-up

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to suture_self's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursing school is much different than any other major. I earned my first degree in Business Administration. Often times the exams were written in a manner that one, who studies, can easily find the...

  25. Is info in class covered too quickly?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Nicole2010's topic in General Students

    My nursing instructors do the same thing. They go over the procedure once and we have check offs the following week. Our lab is open Monday thru Friday from 8-5 (unless there is a class using it)....
