    itsmejuli replied to propeace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stop thinking about it and go to nursing school. I'm 48...I don't care that I am often times the oldest in the class. Who cares? I'm there for me...not anybody else. I'm glad more men are going into...

  5. Challenging Classes

    itsmejuli replied to coffeeaftermidnight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The most challenging classes for me are those that don't really hold my interest. Ethics and American Government were extremely boring classes for me, but I got A's in both. I'd rather take a science...

    itsmejuli replied to Chris99mu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    itsmejuli replied to RB2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Microbiology 2010 (TIPS)

    itsmejuli replied to cheezn4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is a tough class, lots of memorizing just like the A&P classes. I probably devoted an average of 10 hours a week to these classes. I liked learning the material in these classes so studying...

  12. I hate when my school ______

    itsmejuli replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    itsmejuli replied to RNwannabeme's topic in General Students

    Think about it.....the second nursing dx is "risk for". Have you been using an NCLEX book to help you study for your exams at school? You'll get really good at prioritizing when you practice lots of...

  17. How prepared were you for your first clinical?

    itsmejuli replied to D.R.A.'s topic in General Students

    I had no medical background at all when I started clinicals. We did our first clinicals in an LTC where we did only patient care and vitals. I was very nervous so I partnered with another student who...

    itsmejuli replied to Elleveein's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    itsmejuli replied to studentMay2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If I was doing this research article I'd go into a hospital and interview 3 people. The first would be someone in budgeting, next would be a nurse in utilization review and then a floor DON. This...

  21. The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    itsmejuli replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

  22. Nursing School Horrors

    itsmejuli replied to jrosemoore's topic in General Students

    If it were me I'd quit the program and go elsewhere. I expect to get what I paid for, a proper education. I'm not going to fork out thousands of dollars for a lousy education anywhere. Buyer

    itsmejuli replied to david18's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a 48 year old woman and I have yet to figure out where this so-called stereotypical gay male nurse idea came from. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of male nurses being stereotyped as being...

  24. Is it too late to send a thank you?

    itsmejuli replied to suzyq1107's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go ahead and send the thank you, especially considering that you had a 3rd interview today :) Send to both the NM and recruiter you spoke with on the phone. Good

  25. How often does the interviewer not follow up?

    itsmejuli replied to prinsessa's topic in Nursing Career

    Whenever you have an interview you should follow up with a thank you letter or email thanking them for the interview. If you don't hear back in a week or so, then it does no harm for you to follow up....
