  1. When does this get better?

    brittany_micah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in May of this year and was a Student Nurse Associate on a pulmonary unit all through nursing school. But I had my heart set on working in cardiac or ER. So you can imagine how stoked I...

  4. Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  5. Being badgered by clinical instructors

    brittany_micah replied to perfectpractice's topic in General Students

    I too have had one of these instructors. She was known to test hard on our drugs before we gave them, I'm talking about mechanism of action, every side effect, how to counter act it and on and on and...

  6. Child care assistance while in program?

    brittany_micah replied to Stasi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was in the same situation. I dont know if your state has head start, but I would check into that. Other than that...I had to take out student loans last yr and this yr to cover childcare. It sucks...

  7. So sad

    brittany_micah replied to CHRISTINE HEARTS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Accept it and move on!! No one expects you to be perfect on your first nsg test! They are hard and different from any other kind of test. Learn what you missed, meet with your teacher and see if they...

  8. How to organize you work as a new nursing student

    brittany_micah replied to sdupont4931's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above post. I bought the bigger 1.5-2 inch binders, 4 of them (for each semester) during the semester I used one for each class then merged it all together including lab stuff. I have...

  9. OK Truth Time!! Who Else Had To Get Readers(Glasses) Yet???

    brittany_micah replied to tex42cares's topic in General Students

    I have always had perfect vision, I'm 25. After my first semester of nsg school I realized that the board was looking blurry...I went to the eye dr and explained I had never needed glasses before she...

    brittany_micah replied to chaplainjanie's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I am going into my last year of the nursing program at RSCC and you are right it is cheaper and highly respected!! We have a great reputation and although hospitals may not say it, many nurse...

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    CONGRATULATIONS Jtodd!! I bet you are on cloud 9. Be honest, how awful was 3rd

  13. Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I feel your pain, I've been waiting for a full week (a message every day) for financial aid with no returned calls. Thats great Pellissippi is better in that aspect, I'm sure they are busy in their...

  14. Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Lindsay please do not judge the nursing program because of other administrative offices. Financial aid is the WORST! They never answer the phone, they never have their stuff together, you are...

  15. Roane State, Nursing Program, Anyone waiting on a letter for 2011?

    brittany_micah replied to cl14's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  16. Roane State, Nursing Program, Anyone waiting on a letter for 2011?

    brittany_micah replied to cl14's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    During lab you can wear any colored/character scrubs, whatever you like. Or you can dress professional (no jeans, etc.) with your lab coat and picture id. During regular clinical you will wear white...

  17. Pellissippi or Roane State?

    brittany_micah replied to GavinsMom's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I disagree, your GPA does not matter at RSCC. They only take into consideration the classes that are required to get into the nursing program (A&P 1,2, Micro, Dev psy, college algebra, etc.) They...

  18. Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

    brittany_micah replied to LindsayWH's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I may be partial because I am a current RSCC student, but RSCC is well established where as Pellissippi is still in pilot mode. Also RSCC has an amazing reputation, even better than some of the...

  19. Roane State, Nursing Program, Anyone waiting on a letter for 2011?

    brittany_micah replied to cl14's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  21. 2nd year Medsurg 2 and transitions

    brittany_micah posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It seems like I have heard horror stories about every semester, first was awful because you didnt know how to study or what to expect, 2nd was awful because it's med/surg and lots of info, now I hear...

  22. 2nd year Medsurg 2 and transitions

    brittany_micah replied to brittany_micah's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I have since heard that out of those 30 students some of the instructors did not think they should have passed 2nd semester so they continued to "weed out" Idk how true that is, but THANK YOU for...
