  1. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    Despareux replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh no! I received a letter from them, too. But I threw it out because I thought I had to be involved in activities that I knew I would not be able to commit to. Darn it! Now I wish I would have...

  2. How did you cover your tuition costs?

    Despareux replied to CSellers3's topic in General Students

    Mostly loans and I receive a grant from my college. I also pay for supplies out of

  3. Not used to getting B's...

    Despareux replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. I have not received any B's, but I haven't started NS yet, so that can obviously change. I received an A- in one of my pre-req. classes and that stung. So I'm expecting a bit of...

  4. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    Despareux replied to bonnevie13's topic in School, College Programs

    We did, and you get log in information so that you may check out your scores from home,

  5. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Despareux replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    As long as it's official, then you are a student nurse. I haven't officially started my classes yet, but I have been accepted into our program, so I am a student nurse--officially, just like

  6. shift differential and qualifying for mortgage

    Despareux replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Renting can be fun! I loved living in those really nice apartments. I was a single mom with just one kid and I made really good money at the time. My apartment had way cooler amenities than even...

  7. What's your plan B "if" you don't make it into Nursing school ?

    Despareux replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably Physical Therapy. Plan C is something in social

  8. How to survive med-surg

    Despareux replied to golosa82's topic in General Students

    For Pharmacology and our Holistics (health/nutrition) course, our tests consisted of mostly NCLEX style questions, and yes, those questions can certainly make you want to rip your hair out. Good study...

  9. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

    Despareux replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before I was accepted into the nursing program, I viewed all pre-nursing students as my competition. The competition can be fierce, considering the selection criteria that schools have developed, the...

  10. So, we're covering 15 chapters worth of info. for test #1...

    Despareux replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    I have to write everything down. I read everything, too. And I draw pictures of concepts and "teach" them to my family. That's how I learn best. You have to find the most effective and efficient...

  11. Question for nurses with school-aged kids (high schoolers)...

    Despareux posted a topic in General Nursing

    While in school, did your children ever feel bad about themselves because they felt they could not perform up to the same standards that you practiced? For example; I am a perfectionist and would...

    Despareux replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. I just ROCKED my final! :)

    Despareux replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I love that feeling. Congrats to you. You obviously worked very hard and deserve a good

  14. Assessing your cohort

    Despareux replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I don't know what I would be classified as, but I'm the one that always sits in front [because my eyesight is bad and hate wearing glasses], listens intently and takes lots of notes on lecture, asks a...

  15. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    Despareux replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program and I think it's strange that we have to take pharmacology to even qualify for entry into the nursing program. If you don't get accepted, those credits are sort of a waste, but...

  16. A&P, Eng composition ,Gen Psych and intro to Soc

    Despareux replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Composition was THE worst class for me. I write pretty good, but I am notorious for rewriting my papers (the entire paper) up until they're due, and sometimes I would rewrite them up to three times...

  17. Teaching Environment

    Despareux replied to 313RNNTRAINING's topic in General Students

    Gosh, I hope not. I'm not in NS yet, but some of my past instructors are also instructors for the nursing program and they were tough, but not

  18. Hardest class

    Despareux replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Students

    Composition II and Oral

  19. Is Pharm really that bad?

    Despareux replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    I loved Pharm because it puts all the other classes into perspective. Not hard at all, just a lot of studying. I agree with PP's, ignore all the negativity and go in there with an...

  20. OVERWHELMED....need advice!!

    Despareux replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For A&P I and II, I used to write out basic summaries based on whatever system we were currently studying, and then double check what I wrote against what's in the book. Helped me earn all A's on...

  21. Is your nursing practice guided by nursing theory and research based evidence?

    Despareux replied to kurume830's topic in General Nursing

    I start NS in a few weeks as a newbie, and I have often wondered the same thing. Can't wait to read everyone's

  24. How to afford nursing school?

    Despareux replied to importman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will only get a Pell Grant if you qualify. I have yet to qualify due to my husbands income, and we have three kids. I use all student loan money. This will be the first year that I take the...
