    smilingbig replied to momof2students's topic in General Students

    Wow... I remember those day-before-the-first-day-of-nursing school jitters! I'm experiencing them on a different level now, tomorrow is my first day of my LAST semester. And before you know it, you...

  2. What ahould I do???

    smilingbig replied to HCRkam's topic in General Students

    I agree with Daytonite. Where are you in the process of getting into nursing school? How many classes have you

  3. Pre Nursing School Study

    smilingbig replied to brandygirl7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A school that I applied to actually had a study or review class for the HESI. It was a non-college-credit class and the cost was minimal. I actually got accepted to a different school before I took...

  5. The Dreaded Resume

    smilingbig replied to Lunaticus's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Rule of thumb is include all past employment for the prior 10 years. Don't include your GPA on your resume. As a graduate nurse most new places of employment will ask for an official transcript...

  6. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    smilingbig replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

    smilingbig replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is as hard as you make it to be. I am surrounded by nursing students that say you have to sacrifice everything to be successful in nursing school, and I haven't. My best friend in...

  10. Scared of becoming a nurse

    smilingbig replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    I would have to agree with matilda123, what you do with your life is your choice. I also agree that I have come across many nurses throughout my clinical rotations that hate their job. And to me that...

  11. Jobs????

    smilingbig replied to Darkness69's topic in General Students

    While I may not know specifically of any positions that may require little training in the hospital, I can suggest you speak with someone in the HR department to see what they are offering (or you can...
