  1. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    One1 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    If a prospective nursing student would let his or her professional or academic goals be determined by the very widespread (and subjective) opinions of total strangers, then I believe this student...

  2. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    One1 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    Here is my take on this: I entered ns with a 4.0 in all prerequisistes and a 3.89 previous Bachelor GPA. I am in an accelerated BSN program and it is very challenging. To me, it is more important to...

  3. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    One1 replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    No, I do not regret having stepped foot into nursing school. It is tough, incredibly demanding, challenging, and will push you to the edge of your capabilities, but I absolutely love everything I...

  4. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    One1 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    I am in a program like yours. We had an orientation meeting the week before classes started. On day one, there was some time spent discussing syllabi and some general course/program guidelines and...

  5. Can I have multiple ear piercings?

    One1 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    In our case, it is absolutely the school and not the facilites where we do clinicals that dictates how it wants its students to represent the school. We have strict guidelines, from number of earrings...

  6. Can I have multiple ear piercings?

    One1 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    It will depend on your school, see if you can find the clinical guidelines before you get your ears pierced again. At my school, you are only allowed one earring per

  7. How did you memorize path of bloodflow in the heart?

    One1 replied to mysticpenguin's topic in General Students

    2 Things that helped me to learn it in the beginning: 1) Arteries = Away from the heart 2) Try before you Buy (this is thanks to a former teacher of mine) = tricuspid before bicuspid (mitral) valve....

  8. starting before I start????

    One1 replied to nikisashabell's topic in General Students

    Honestly, you should enjoy your last weeks of freedom before starting nursing school instead of studying already - rest and relaxation are luxuries once you start. Personally, I would not recommend...

  11. i was kicked out of nursing school

    One1 replied to student_nurse_11's topic in General Students

    Not to put you down, but do you really need to ask other nurses how to write the possibly most important statement of your nursing career? Do you feel that by copying other nurses' suggestions your...

  12. Are there any acceptable absences?

    One1 replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    Also consider that a make-up clinical might cost you $. Talk to the school once you find out that you got

  13. too sensitive for nursing??

    One1 replied to angeleyez3506's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Being compassionate and caring is not a weakness. The nice thing about nursing is that there are so many fields in which you can work. Nursing is not limited to hospitals and assisted living. You...

  14. Trying to transfer to another RN program with an undeserved Fail

    One1 replied to wishingupon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Honesty & integrity are in the "job description" of every nurse and failing to mention your previous nursing program is dishonest. Maybe you can set up appointments in person with admission...

  15. Does this seem like an insane amount of prereqs?

    One1 replied to milo2145's topic in General Students

    Sounds pretty normal for a BSN program. You have your standard science prerequisites plus the gen ed classes for the Bachelor. Once you start the actual nursing program you will most likely only take...

  16. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    One1 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated program similar to yours right now (lengthwise) and I could not imagine having a baby while being in this program. I have two toddlers at home and that is plenty challenge for me...

  17. Putting all my eggs in one basket

    One1 replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no right or wrong, you just have to decide on a strategy that works best for you. If you only apply to one school it will decrease the number of prerequisites you will have to take but...

  18. How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

    One1 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    If you can't go without sleep then get your sleep and sacrifice something else in your schedule (preferrably not studying though ). I get 4-5 hours of sleep a night, and try to sleep in one day of the...

  19. Am unable to get in Nursing program

    One1 replied to Classylady85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind though that an accelerated BSN program is a whole new level of challenge even compared to a regular nursing program (which is in itself already challenging enough). If you struggle with...

  20. The Suicide Tourist

    One1 replied to JRD2002's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: If you search for "physician-assisted dying" or "physician-assisted suicide" you should find much information. There are also some great books out about the topic. Oregon was the first...

  21. Not going to nursing school

    One1 replied to weirhead69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you that nursing is not all about the angelic vision of a caring, selfless woman (have I hit all the stereotypes?), but I think that you better DO have some serious passion for some...

  22. Any suggestions on what to use to carry all of these books?

    One1 replied to Kymber7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to wait and see if you really need to have all your textbooks with you in class. For most of my classes I leave my textbooks at home and only bring my laptop and a small folder to hold...

  24. Just Visited a NS: Impressions?

    One1 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Have you looked if any of the schools are maybe CCNE accredited? I am more familiar with BSN programs and their accreditations. You might want to contact a community college advisor and discuss...

  25. Just Visited a NS: Impressions?

    One1 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would keep my fingers off this school. You would pay $20,000 for a "degree" that you cannot do anything else with should you want to further your education, and the school is not even...
