  7. Nurse Externs?

    jeninthedesert replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Normally, you have to complete at least one block of nursing courses before applying for Externship. CHW still hires externs as far as I know. Ditto what SnarfGirl said. I think in a lot of cases NE...

    jeninthedesert replied to carsonallen1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    jeninthedesert replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am in the RN program at Apollo in Phoenix. I attend school with several classmates who work full-time and are raising children. It's hard, but it can be done!

  10. Where Is The Motivation on Retaking NCLEX?

    jeninthedesert replied to Jazzy_nurse_SF's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been told that Kaplan has a great NCLEX review course, but I've also been told it is pricey. Maybe that is something you could look into? If not, I would find a good study partner (perhaps...

  11. Current/past students...what is your schedule?

    jeninthedesert replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am in school Mon-Friday during the day. Not all of it is in the classroom; we do clinicals during the week, too. I work PRN because my school schedule just isn't flexible. But, every program is...

    jeninthedesert replied to tripp3horn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You will be fine. I have a classmate with adult ADD and he is medicated for it. He's doing very well and keeping up with the rest of the class. And, I was a 4.0 student until nursing school. I...

  17. Do friends outside of nursing school give you a hard time?

    jeninthedesert replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    I've lost contact and have been out of touch with a lot of people. Nursing school is more time consuming than anything I've experienced. While it really isn't that difficult, it does require a lot...

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

    jeninthedesert replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Yes, yes, yes!! I get tired of the comparisons after an exam. I don't want to hear everyone swap answers and try to figure out how everyone did. I have enough information taking up my brain

    jeninthedesert replied to SiennaGreen's topic in General Students

    jeninthedesert replied to smirkingvag's topic in General Students

    My nursing program requires that all visible tattoos be covered. There are a few guys in my class who are covered in tattoos, but they just wear long sleeves to keep them

  21. Should I quit nursing school?

    jeninthedesert replied to In-the-sky's topic in General Students

    I think every nursing student goes through this at least once during school. Don't quit yet. The hardest part is getting through school. I get nervous about clinical skills as well, yet somehow I'm...

  23. A new phone prank

    jeninthedesert replied to verper's topic in Nursing Humor

    I do have a sense of humor and I hate to be the downer, but, yikes! I might not think that was so funny if I were trying to talk to a doctor or family member about a patient who was not doing very...

  24. CNA Issue

    jeninthedesert replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have said something to her/him in private, but not in front of the patient. And, I would have reassured the patient like you did. Like Batman said, it's unprofessional and rude to...

    jeninthedesert replied to craigm's topic in General Students
