Hey ya'll, so here is my dilemma. I am a pre-nursing student, all of my pre-reqs are done and I'm ready to apply to nursing school. However I talked to the advisor at my school and was told that there is a slim chance I will get in. (I actually appre...

Alright so I had my meeting with the academic advisor at Neumann and I will not be going there (but this is my choice). First off, they sent me a letter that I would be starting nursing classes in Fall 2014. Couldnt wait to start. Then I go talk to m...

during my CNA clinicals, toward the end of the shift we would start to twiddle our thumbs because there wasn't much else to do- so we would clean underneath the patients fingernails, give manicures, get them involved in activities, etc. This was at a...

I've been wondering the same thing. I just got accepted to the part-time program at Neumann for Fall 2014. I've been doing some research on this website about the school and I have only seen one person post a negative comment on how the staff doesn't...

I start clinicals this Fall and am trying to mentally prepare myself now! I just found out that I have to take a nursing class during the summer, Fundamentals to Professional Nursing. So I definitely plan on taking a week vacation sometime relatively...

I've been accepted to Neumann's part-time BSN program and I start this Fall also! I saw in the acceptance package that we have to take Nursing 205 this summer. I'm curious to see what times they offer this class and what this class is all about. I th...

thank you so much to all of those that have given great advice and mostly, supportive encouragement! I am just frustrated (as one posted mentioned) and am certainly NOT trying to knock anyone that got in/who have a 4.0 GPA. I'm only expressing my fru...

Is this the total cost, between housing, food, books, supplies, etc? I still think thats a lot of money and you could get just as good of an education elsewhere for a LOT less money. Why burden yourself with that amount of debt after graduation, if y...

My thoughts exactly! I would just make it all about the patient. As long as you're professional, I don't foresee any issues. For example, when I am in the doctors office, I am thinking about my health/what I'm there for and what the doctor/nurse are ...

Just you sharing this story tells me how GREAT of a nurse you would be. I work in a nursing home and there are too many nurses who just don't genuinely care. I'm not sure why they chose nursing as a profession but you clearly have a lot of compassion...

A lot of my instructors do powerpoints and I, too, like other posters suggested, print them in the "handout" form (3 slides per page) so that I can make my own notes on the right hand side of the paper. I just recently took Applied Clinical Math and ...

Although I'm not a nurse yet, I work in a nursing home, so I get to see first hand the life of a LTC nurse everyday and they are definitely not just doing ADLs. I think thats a huge misconception by a lot of people. Obviously they arent doing what a ...

Hi guys! I'm having a bit of a scheduling crisis and have been troubleshooting for quite some time now and figured I would come to this site for some advice. Brief synopsis: I'm 24 years old, not married, no kids, live on my own with boyfriend, we sh...

I did anticipate some of this but some if it I did not because my companys rules for the tuition assistance have been changing as well as other aspects of my job/school. Luckily, I have pretty understanding bosses that are trying to help me figure ou...

in response to the shifts at my work: i work in rehab at a skilled nursing facility, I used to do transport but now am doing all of the therapy scheduling so its a lot of office work. I am required to work normal business hours but am a wee bit flexi...

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!!! It truly means SO much to me to hear from others that have gone through/are going through the same thing as me! I would definitely choose nursing, no doubt in my mind whatsoever! You've given me som...

Thanks for all the advice and support! I should clarify that my clinicals are either 6:30-3 or 2:30-11, I do get to pick which set of hours I would like (per my Nsg counselor). The deadline to apply for the nsg program is Feb 15th, so I am trying to ...

????????????????????

Hey everyone, I felt the need to post on here because I am feeling really really discouraged. I am currently taking Intro to Microbiology (Summer semester) and am failing. I have taken 3 out of 6 tests so far and have failed each one, but they are ge...

Thanks you all so much for your input! I actually did have to drop the class, I would rather have a W on my transcript than an F! I started recording the lectures (as I did in A&P) in the begining and it was no help to me. The inability of paying...

hi everyone! so as of right now, i only have 2 pre-req's to complete before i'm able to apply for the nursing program for next fall. i have to take microbiology and english composition. my question is...should i take microbiology this summer, its a...

Hey guys, I'm about to start a CNA course that lasts about 12 weeks. (I'm also a pre-nursing student still getting my pre-reqs done at the same time) And I also want to note that I do understand after my first semester of nursing clinicals, I am eli...

I work at a Genesis Healthcare facility in Delaware and they also have facilities in Philly as well, I believe its called Liberty Court. I'm not sure what part of philly you're in, but Genesis owns ALFs, LTC/SNF's, etc..so that could be worth looking...

I currently work at Genesis Healthcare, but not as a Nurse...yet (I'm currently a nursing student). As another poster commented, it absolutely depends on your facility. Every facility is different in that some facilities have better management than o...

hey ya'll, i will be taking the hesi a2 exam soon prior to entering my colleges lpn program. can anyone suggest a study guide that they found helpful? i've heard on this site that many folks recommend the hesi admission assessment guide, edition 2 (1...
