    Sad...and jealous?

    jesskidding replied to caprisiosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before I applied and was accepted into my ADN program I felt the same way you do every time a friend of mine got in. Just re-apply for next year. Don't stress about it. What's done is done. Just...

    My friend was fired - Was she wrong?

    jesskidding replied to ravenshroud's topic in General Nursing

    I think firing her was little much. A write-up or warning could have been effective. However, I do think that she should have said "NO" to the RN who asked her to give the meds. I hope your friend can...

    What do you do about MA, GNA, etc calling themselves nurses?

    jesskidding replied to flymomrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Good idea. I didn't think about that. You know, before I could have cared less or not even have known the difference, but now that I have been working so hard to become a Registered Nurse....it...

    jesskidding replied to flymomrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Again, where is the "beating a dead horse" emoticon when you need one!? Someone posts about this just about every week! It's always a good idea to look through older threads on this issue than start a...

    Did getting into nursing school seem like a life altering event?

    jesskidding replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Of course it was! I have been working towards nursing school for so long and to finally get my letter telling me I was accepted was the best feeling! However, I will be celebrating more when I...

    We have chocolate brown scrubs, any style or brand. Just as long as they are choc. brown and our school's patch put on the sleeve. We have to wear white shoes though. I was pretty bummed out about...

    What happened!!!!!

    jesskidding replied to Steveo.O's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you didn't get in. If you are wanting to re-apply, I would suggest re-taking the TEAS and trying to get a higher score. A 79 would not get you into the program I am in. Since there were only...

    Still can't obtain employment at the hospital... been outta school for a month.

    jesskidding replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think AHA's BLS is much more in-depth and advanced than the Red Cross. I believe that AHA's is geared more to the healthcare professional than the average person. If I were not involved in the...

    Is this academic dishonesty?

    jesskidding replied to Jessicias85's topic in General Students

    I don't think so. I wish I had something to go by. I just opened all my books and started reading. I have no idea what the reading assignments are going to be, but I wanted to get a head

    Compassion required???

    jesskidding replied to jellyfishmafia's topic in General Nursing

    Ummmm....sure? I guess you could be a good nurse, but I wouldn't want you caring for me or my family. Good

    In regards to pre-req's, should I take two Psychology classes in the summer?

    jesskidding replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych classes were some of the easiest class I have taken. I think you will be fine taking them together. I would, however, wait and take Sociology in the fall. Sociology is completely different (I...

    How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    jesskidding replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW! That must be some CC you are going to! $1,000.00 for a Nurse Aid class? The NA class at my CC is $120.00, and that includes everything. You might want to look somewhere else for a less expensive...

    How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    jesskidding replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Almost every nursing program in North Carolina requires you to be listed on the NA 1 Registry (at least the ADN programs). I think it's good experience and it gives you a good idea if you will like...
