  1. 3.9 GPA, cant pass Nursing school tests!???

    Emilynn09 replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Does your school have a tutor or something who can help you with test taking skills? Perhaps it's just that you are not a good test taker and that a little refresher in that department might help you...

  2. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    Emilynn09 replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Screw her! How would she know? That's ridiculously unfair of her to assume that of you. Do not let her get to you. It sounds like she's just being mean. How sad for her that she has such an...

  3. Making Notecards for Clinicals?

    Emilynn09 replied to kahne#1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The OP should ask his/her clinical instructor, every instructor I've had so far has wanted us to keep our phones in our pockets so we can text her or receive texts about going to lunch, post...

  4. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    Emilynn09 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Ew. That doesn't even sound comfortable!! Maybe I'm old... I'm 30 so, I guess I'm not hip anymore.

  5. Anyone starting Chamberlain RN-BSN February 28th? I have questions!

    Emilynn09 replied to AliciaRN2008's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm going to be following this thread. I am looking into this school for my BSN or MSN once I graduate and get my RN sometime at the end of this year beginning of next

  6. Making Notecards for Clinicals?

    Emilynn09 replied to kahne#1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Get two little spiral books and keep them on your person while in clinical: RNotes, and MedNotes. I love them both, and they've been super helpful to

  7. Unitek College

    Emilynn09 replied to Sasha67's topic in California Nursing

    Kaplan has both LVN and ADN-RN programs. The location in San Diego is the only RN program they have though. To to best of my knowledge they do not offer any online nursing programs at that

  8. Kaplan San Diego ADN Jan 2010

    Emilynn09 replied to gdoubleu's topic in California Nursing

    I loved Pharm! The instructor IS truly amazing. She really does make a great effort. We are truly lucky to have had her as an

  9. Standing out in nursing school

    Emilynn09 replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    In your psych rotation, can't you just nicely ask them not to follow you because you aren't comfortable with it instead of getting so angry about it? I bet they don't even know it bothers you so much....

  10. Online Pharmacology Class

    Emilynn09 replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    None. It was a requirement in my program so I took it as part of the curriculum. So, I never looked into taking it otherwise. What area are you in? Have you tried googling for online pharmacology...

  11. Male OB Frustration

    Emilynn09 replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am not comfortable with a male practitioner; doctor, nurse, etc. performing intimate duties on me. I have always asked for a female when it came to scheduling a well woman exam, or any other kind of...

  12. Online Pharmacology Class

    Emilynn09 replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't recommend taking Pharm online. It's A LOT of information, and I'm not sure that I personally would want to risk not knowing that information well for NCLEX purposes. It's a tough class, and...

  13. ...So working & going to NS is out of the quest?

    Emilynn09 replied to Thirdwatch's topic in General Students

    It's possible. I don't work because I don't have to, while I think it would be a good idea to network and get my foot in the door somewhere, I personally don't think it's worth risking my grades and...

  14. Was the Nursing program your first choice?

    Emilynn09 replied to can'tdecide's topic in General Students

  15. Questions for Married Nursing Students!

    Emilynn09 replied to 5LR14's topic in General Students

    I would say our biggest challenge is getting laundry done; neither of us likes to do it and sometimes it gets backed up quite a bit and turns into an entire day's affair. I take Sunday off from...

  16. Doomed to fail

    Emilynn09 replied to carlarenee02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If that's what you want to do, then quit. To be honest, and I don't mean this mean or snarky in any way so I hope it is not misunderstood that way, BUT, it seems like you have the wrong attitude about...

  17. Nursing Books

    Emilynn09 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Students

    You could sell them back to the book store on your campus, or post fliers on campus for other students to contact you for

  18. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    Emilynn09 replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    http://www.is.lsu.edu/home.asp?level=CO&online=0&nid=101 That's the link to the courses, they have quite a bit of options and the prices are fairly reasonable for distance

  19. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    Emilynn09 replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    Try LSU. They have a lot of independent learning courses that are available to the public. When I got my BS degree (non- nursing), I was short for a literature class and I signed up through LSU with...

  20. Not Able to Become A Nurse

    Emilynn09 replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    This is great!! A lot of nursing is self motivated learning. There's only so much they can cover in lecture, and in clinical... your time there is limited. It really is a lot of self learning and...

  21. Doomed to fail

    Emilynn09 replied to carlarenee02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just because you pass with a minimum grade, or with a B or whatever not A grade you got, doesn't mean that you will be a bad nurse. A does not = Good Nurse. Keep going! It sounds like you are doing...

  22. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    Emilynn09 replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    I use my cargo pockets on my scrubs or it goes around my neck. It just depends on what I'm doing I guess. It just stays where I put it last until I need it

  23. Med_Surg

    Emilynn09 replied to arelis's topic in General Students

    Fluid & Electrolytes DeMystified is pretty good, and so is Med/Surg DeMystified, and the Made Incredibly easy series. There are also self teaching books for nursing labs and stuff out there. Hit...

  24. What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

    Emilynn09 replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    This is my situation as well, and I have no option to move closer to school because my husband's job is up here. However, I don't necessarily have too much issue waking up in the morning. You really...

  25. Not Able to Become A Nurse

    Emilynn09 replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    If you passed nursing school, then you'd also need to pass NCLEX to be able to work as a nurse. I'm sorry you are so stressed out over
