    Number ONE on waitlist. So frustrating

    DolceVita replied to tag2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! That is why I was able to get my place -- I had done everything (CPR, 2 step TB, titers and vaccinations). My local public health did the vaccinations for free, charged $15.00 for the TB...

    Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    DolceVita replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a woman in my class who is over 60. I would rather have her as my nurse than most people in the class. She is wise and kind (pretty smart too). As for the energy -- she has more than me...

    I have 3 days of clinical so I bought 3 set of scrubs. I could wear business casual on the data collection day but throwing on scrubs is much

    Backstabbing/Gossip in Nursing School

    DolceVita replied to silverhalide's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If I had someone on tape like that I would play it back to them in front of other people. I don't really care if someone doesn't like me. There are people in my class who use up all of my tolerance...

    Health form ?

    DolceVita replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    Barely asked anything at all. A few yes/no questions and a place for the MD to say she thinks I am fit enough. There is NO chance I am sharing a detailed medical history with my school. They have...

    Backstabbing/Gossip in Nursing School

    DolceVita replied to silverhalide's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep they are a little childish at my school. If we have an event you have to hide the list of attendees. Why? "I'm not going if she's going". This applies to our volunteering events in the...

    Backstabbing/Gossip in Nursing School

    DolceVita replied to silverhalide's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This happens at my school I don't think I am necessarily the subject of it but maybe. There is one woman who seems to get a lot of awful remarks/gossip. My rules on gossip: If it is about me --...

    DolceVita replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    OMG that is so true. I have had the same thing. One person even thought to challenge my use of disabled parking. What I loved even more was, when someone met my mother (I look after her) they...

    DolceVita replied to Cindy 17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't take notes in class or when I am reading -- but I know this doesn't work for everyone. I just pay very close attention in class. Also, if I am particulalry tired in class I will record the...

    Why can't I get hired?

    DolceVita replied to judy37312's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I would hazard a guess that, as you will be an RN in a year, they think you won't be staying (especially if they only hire RNs who have BSNs). Perhaps don't tell people you are in nursing school but...

    Any Men in Nursing Student Clubs Out There?

    DolceVita replied to Daithi's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There is a national league for male nurses - ALMNAA. You should get in touch with them. Someone was going to start a chapter where I live but they decided that there was enough of a gender division...

    I think it is a pity that a community college is not more accessible. Some non-traditional students who would be fabulous nurses don't have the best
