    My Friend the nursing student

    strawberryluv replied to gia466's topic in General Students

    How about just taking out loans? If she is smart and confident that she will pass (which I doubt she won't), she could take it as a little borrowed money and pay it back when she makes money as an RN....

    What are my options?

    strawberryluv replied to chloe247's topic in General Students

    I second the person that says wait and sit in a school using the G.I. Bill. All the online hoops you're thinking of sounds costly and counterproductive. If your aim is to be a RN, BSN then just go to...

    Motivation/Inspiration

    strawberryluv replied to jfantacone09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can do it! Put everything you've got. If you need to make flashcards, watch countless videos on the topic, draw diagrams in your room, and even listen to audio lectures of the material while going...

    strawberryluv replied to Graduation2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If your last semester is in September to December. I would start studying around October. I wouldn't overwhelm myself studying too soon for it because I don't want to burn out. I would start by...

    online/live reviews vs review book

    strawberryluv replied to Tinkx RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am actually pretty good at self-study with review book throughout nursing school. I never had to attend review sessions or felt the need to join a study group. But for the NCLEX-RN, I chose to...

    Nursing students not happy to hear about how tough it is to get started as a nurse

    strawberryluv replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    It's crucial to get a way in by working at a facility. At the long-term care facility where I currently work, I am a shoo-in for a position there as I have been working there as a CNA for one year and...

    Can you succeed in BSN programs without Chemisty?

    strawberryluv replied to meganthe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, you don't need chemistry. I have not used my chemistry knowledge. But invest in a good pathophysiology textbook and that can make or break you. Pathophysiology is crucial, chemistry is...

    strawberryluv replied to SarahOsorio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math in nursing school is very basic algebra. It is just math you need to convert dosages which are often really just moving decimal places or simple dimensional analysis. Graduated high school with...

    strawberryluv replied to NjRN_1004's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks. I was searching up how to best create a study plan with Hurst and saw this thread. I plan on following exactly what you do and going over your Quizlet flashcards. I, also, have NCLEX 4000 lol....

    I give up!

    strawberryluv replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think you should tough it out. Study hard, pass the exams and look past the other unnecessary stuff. Get what you need out of that institution and never make a donation as an alumni if you must....

    Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    strawberryluv replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    What's the big deal. It's just a title. What really matters is if this person is employed and calling themselves a nurse AND performing registered nurse functions without a license at their clinical...

    Worried I won't get into a BSN Program

    strawberryluv replied to lsinger95's topic in General Students

    I definitely think you should go to whatever route is cheapest. The college experience is important and I totally think you should seek out the school that can give you that experience. I mean, why...

    I'm in my program, second year but did not take one prerequisite? What should I do?

    strawberryluv replied to beachlover1989's topic in General Students

    I say DO NOT take it. AP Classes are tough! They are the equivalent of college courses at the lower level. Don't waste your money by taking a class you don't have to! You need the time for focusing on...

    strawberryluv replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    I can't believe there are people who are correlating test questions to actual knowledge of the material! Just because someone gets 7 out of 10 questions right doesn't mean they don't know 30% of the...
