  1. TAMUCC FNP 2018

    ashulee89 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very frustrated at this point and I'm trying to find anyone else in a similar situation. I applied for Texas A&M Corpus FNP program for 2018 in April. It's been almost 2 months and my status still...

    ashulee89 replied to bexspn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats on graduating! We'll be taking NCLEX the same day! Our school required us to pass all of our ati exams. For pharm, I made a chart that they recommended in one of the videos when you go and...

  3. Burnt Out and Needing to Vent

    ashulee89 replied to cupcake2013's topic in General Students

    I can't say I understand what you're going through completely, but I can relate to most. You are overwhelmed. Try your best to look for an outlet. When I feel overwhelmed I cry my eyes out and then go...

  4. Weight gain?

    ashulee89 replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    I'm in level 3 of 4 levels and I haven't gained anything. This semester is the hardest by far so we'll see what happens once i'm done. Where I live we have a 24 hour gym that i go to. I am NOT the...

  7. Confused on Infusion Rate problem...

    ashulee89 replied to ashulee89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for the reply. After taking a well needed break to go work out and clear my head, I started to try and think in simpler terms. I came up with 25mg divided by 2.5mg/hr which equals 10 hours/...

  8. Don't you just love your non-nursing major friends/family...

    ashulee89 replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    I was going to post on here not to underestimate an online test. I'm an e-learning nursing student so all of my exams except the final are online and it is very very hard even with a book. BUT, we're...

  9. Stethoscope Question.

    ashulee89 replied to Murse270's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the Cardiology III. Love it. Get alot of compliments on it as well. Bought it on Medisave and they have free engraving as well. They give you "points" for purchasing certain items. So when my...

  10. Advice on Med Surg

    ashulee89 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello All, I've been reading alot of questions on Med Surg that have been posted in the past and decided to post some questions of my own to see if I can get any help. I am currently in the online...

  11. Discouraged about clinicals

    ashulee89 replied to I<3PedsRN's topic in General Students

    I've been there. I think its normal to feel down when everyone else has moved on, but i think the best thing to do is focus on yourself. Take it one day at a time. Focus on your 5 rights and the...

  12. Truly Stressed, and Depressed

    ashulee89 replied to hellonurse831's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Its unfortunate that you failed, but fundamentals is NOT a walk in the park. I'm not sure about the rules of your particular program, but I just wanted to post to tell you to hang in there. In my...

  13. Feeling incompetent

    ashulee89 replied to mestrada's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know how you feel. My first test for the semester I was trying to read entire chapters. It is impossible to do that when working 6 days a week along with other responsibilities. I think its...

  14. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    ashulee89 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I usually make Bs and have been known to see the occasional C. I work hard and study hard. This in no way makes me stupid, but everyone is entitled to their opinions. As others have said it just means...

  15. overwhelmed

    ashulee89 replied to Easgaskins's topic in General Students

    This is certainly alot for one person to have on their plate. I dont have any kids, all I can really offer is to take things one day at a time. I work 6 days a week and often feel like I don't have...

  16. Nervous about Med-Surg

    ashulee89 replied to juju81's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I feel the exact same way right now. I just finished up level 1 nursing, we were in a nursing home which wasn't more than CNA work and PO med passes. Now I'll be moving onto level 2 which will consist...

  17. Freaking out - may have to withdraw

    ashulee89 replied to esokitty's topic in General Students

    I can't imagine what you're going through and I'm really sorry this happened. If it were me, I'd DEFINITELY talk to your instructor and see what she says before you withdrawal. Even though this is a...

  18. How to deal with a toxic/negative clinical instructor who is insecure?

    ashulee89 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    First off, sorry that you have to go through this. I do hope that it gets better. Honestly, I've been told by several about the nurses that "eat their young" and that I should expect it. I just start...

  19. Why do nurses have to be so mean to nursing students?

    ashulee89 replied to patty554's topic in General Students

    I can understand what you mean about the attitude thing. I started my clinicals last week and our nurses aren't exactly nice. I spoke with a nurse a while back and she told me "Honey, we're the type...

  20. Anyone make it into nursing school with below a 3.0 GPA?

    ashulee89 replied to Dre2416's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did :) I stressed EVERYDAY because I had a 2.7 GPA. Scored high on my HESI though. Had alot of people give me the whole "oh i dont know if you will make it..." speech. All I can say is that it...

  21. Terrible clinical site!

    ashulee89 replied to KianaM's topic in General Students

    I think there was a similar post about this. It sucks, because I start clinicals in one week. But the way I see it, I would NEVER let anyone sway my decision for what I want to do for the rest of my...

  22. Ahhhhh! I need re-inforcement!!!

    ashulee89 replied to ajstegall's topic in General Students

    I say just go for it! While thats ALOT of stuff you have on your plate in a small time frame, write everything down, prioritize, etc. Thats the only way I keep myself from freaking out. If I don't,...

  23. In need of encouragement!!

    ashulee89 replied to uwa2012's topic in General Students

    I think if the tests you are failing are tests where you must write out answers or write reports. Then yes, go over and make sure you are not making grammatical errors. That always helps, I agree. But...

  24. Getting your CI's attention

    ashulee89 replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Students

    I'll put my two cents in here :) Honestly, this may be the complete opposite of what you feel right now. For example, I know at my job(non medical) my boss doesn't see a need to hound me to do my work...

  25. Does your school seem disorganized?

    ashulee89 replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    Lol Jasoncl1974. My spiteful, emotional, disorganized, scatter brained self just realized something. Did you join this forum JUST to seek out a 2 year old post to criticize women? Wow. If that doesn't...
