  1. FNP vs CNS??

    Ash81386 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The university in which I completed my BSN offers an MSN in FNP and CNS and I am ready to continue my education. Here is my dilemma: From my understanding, the FNP is incredibly competitive. I...

  2. School supplies?!

    Ash81386 replied to aml1109's topic in General Students

    I just graduated and I must say... As far as the printer goes, my dad bought me this big, giant canon printer/scanner/copier (and I think fax also?) that only prints black and white... At first I...

  3. Tennessee RN's...HELP!!!

    Ash81386 replied to rdlanders's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Did you ever get your questions answered? Because I'm wondering the same thing now! I have lived in TN all of my life but went to nursing school in AR. Well, now it's time to go back to TN, and Im...

  4. All Graduates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ash81386 replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    Congrats!! My pinning is May 10 (i believe) and my graduation ceremony is May 11. I cant wait, so I know you probably cant either!

  5. *Desperately need some advice - I hate my new job*

    Ash81386 replied to shellybean's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Mr.DNP23 I worked as an ICU tech for 2 years as well. On our unit the techs doubled as the unit secretary (ours only worked like M-F 8-5!), so we would admit new patients & put their charts...

  6. ADN or BSN. Advice.

    Ash81386 replied to jnette2011's topic in General Students

    From what I gathered from working in a hospital (Im only a senior BSN student but worked as a CNA also), there is no difference. Others (coworkers, physicians, etc) would not even know if you are a...

  7. The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Ash81386 replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I started out working as a tech, but it seems that all it got me was hands on experience. That came out wrong. The experience is VERY valuable. What I meant is that I don't think this led me to a...

  8. Clinical professors...

    Ash81386 replied to rei-chan's topic in General Students

    I agree! It's NOT that I don't do my own research-- trust me, I do! I AM in charge of m own learning. However, you should be able to interact with your instructors. I don't expect any of them to be my...

  9. Nursing Games is taking its toll

    Ash81386 replied to ImKosher's topic in General Students

    BY* less than 1 point, I

  10. Nursing Games is taking its toll

    Ash81386 replied to ImKosher's topic in General Students

    They admitted 90 of us, I believe. With our class, they changed the required passing average. We lost around 20 the first year, gained a few LPNs, lost a few more... I believe our class of 90 is now...

  11. Nursing school and working PT???

    Ash81386 replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    I think this just depends on the individual person! I worked as a PCT for only 8 hrs a week for 2 of the yrs and was ok. But senior year came along and knocked me on my bottom! I always felt faced...

  12. Clinical professors...

    Ash81386 replied to rei-chan's topic in General Students

    I've noticed a lot of my instructors have not worked in a hospital for years and years as well. It surprises me, since healthcare is ALWAYS changing. But my school is very big on "evidence based...

  13. Feeling sub-par...

    Ash81386 posted a topic in General Students

    I imagine I'm not the only one in this situation, but I'm finding it extremely hard here lately. Before nursing school, probably like most of you guys, I was a straight A student. Now that I am a...

  14. Feeling sub-par...

    Ash81386 replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    It's not so much that I expect ppl to "pay me back". I just feel as if I have been bending over backwards to help my friends out and when I ask for help I get stupid, smart alek-y comments in return-...

  15. Feeling sub-par...

    Ash81386 replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    In case anyone was actually wondering.. I basically had my breaking point today with these "friends" They are always on me; "Do we have a quiz? do we have a test? whats due? Wanna get together &...

  16. Feeling sub-par...

    Ash81386 replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    I actually practiced NCLEX questions for the first test (and I read the book) and I made an 82, which ended up being higher than some of my friends that normally make straight A's... But for this past...

  17. CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    Ash81386 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear that PCTs are thought of as lazy & don't want to do hard work. I'm already IN a BSN program (about to start my second yr) and working as a PCT in the ICU. I am NOT lazy, i am...

  18. is it safe to go to school in memphis?

    Ash81386 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not quite sure which would be better, but they are both big cities. And which nursing school are you referring to? University of Memphis? Southwest? Tennessee Tech? Baptist College of Health...

  19. is it safe to go to school in memphis?

    Ash81386 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it's safe to go to school in Memphis. There are good parts of town & bad parents of town, just like any other area. I live there but recently transferred to school in Jonesboro AR....

  20. Comments about personal appearance

    Ash81386 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Once I was heading into a supply closet & a man stopped me in the hallway and said "Excuse me... Do your parents know you're up here playing

  23. Has anyone ever put down your career choice?

    Ash81386 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    The other day I was sitting in the hall waiting to go into a pilates class (i needed 1 extra hour & figured what the heck?) and there was 2 girls talking about possibly doing nursing, but it was...

  24. Does RN school get easier or harder as the semesters go on?

    Ash81386 replied to rnintwo's topic in General Students

    last I heard we had lost 19. Somebody told me the number was now 23, but the last number I actually heard a teacher say was 19.

  25. Ashamed of nursing school

    Ash81386 replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    There was a girl I worked with that told me she was in nursing school already. So we got to talking, and she finally admitted she wasnt. So time came around for us to apply for the program, and she...
