  3. Dro p out of program/inability to find job in this wonderful economy

    morningland replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    I've heard from my nursing instructors that nursing has gone through these hiring freezes a few times over the past 15 years and it eventually passes. You might as well continue and finish if you can...

  4. Getting over the poop smell

    morningland replied to babyCNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I carry a mask with me. Usually, that alone is enough to cut down on the smell to where it doesn't gag me. If that doesn't work, put a little dab of toothpaste on the inside of the mask and you...

  5. How not to get ****** at clinical?

    morningland replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I personally think it sounds retarded to open a med in the med room, scan it then bring it to the patients room. How do you REALLY know what you are giving even if you checked it in the med room. I...

  6. Is nursing the way to go?

    morningland replied to live.love.laugh's topic in General Students

    If it's your passion then go for nursing and don't look back. Pay no regard to the economy because our nation is in so much debt and financial trouble that you won't be able to avoid

  10. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    morningland replied to European's topic in General Students

    Nursing... no question... A&P and micro seemed like such scary classes back when I took them but they were virtual cakewalk compaired to the nursing program. In nursing, you can study study study...

  11. should this girl pass nursing school?

    morningland replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    It's funny too because the OP said "oh, I just don't see the potential in this student" where, at the time... she wasn't even a freaking nurse!! How can she see the nursing potential in someone when...

  12. should this girl pass nursing school?

    morningland replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    It aggravates me how some people feel the need to judge other peoples nursing performance. JUST FOCUS ON YOUR OWN PATIENT CARE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. If the student has made it that far in nursing...

  13. Ever dream about school?

    morningland replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    morningland replied to stephaniep05's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well, don't post this on a public forum then because there really are no suggestions. You will be at the mercy of the BON and that is that. There is such a thing as a right judgement by the way....

  15. Got a dui and just got accepted into nursing program what to do!!??

    morningland replied to stephaniep05's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In all honesty, this is a really bad cituation to be in. In my state, you can not get your license if you have a DUI. If you are lucky enough to avoid charges, you are really going to have to make...

    morningland replied to Lawrence F's topic in General Students

    I am almost done with my first year so I can offer some good clinical tips that will impress your instructor. - For starters, understand that you are going to feel COMPLETELY lost and out of place...

  17. Students who freak out when they fail...

    morningland posted a topic in General Students

  21. Is becoming an LVN first instead of an RN a good idea?

    morningland replied to KeeKeePee's topic in General Students

    In my program they only look at your GPA, so your past experience doesn't make any difference. I guess it would be good to get experience first but I don't think it really matters. I was thinking...

    morningland replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students
