  1. AS in RN to BS?

    ErinRN2B replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    I personally don't think so. A BSN is becoming a more and more valuable and sometimes necessary asset to have as a nurse in today's market; however, there is a plethora of RN-BSN programs out there....

  2. Psych clinical experiences?

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    That sounds amazing, I would absolutely love to get an opportunity like that. I have no idea what we will be doing for our psych clinical. The city I live in has a small mental health hospital, but...

  3. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    ErinRN2B replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    Regarding the above article... I always keep my wedding band on during clinicals. It's just a simple gold band with some engravings, but no gemstones or settings. Should I be taking it off before I go...

  4. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    ErinRN2B replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    I too have seen that on this site and it's always seemed weird to me. I go to a publicly-funded community college and I can imagine that it would not bode well for them if they started arbitrarily...

  5. I am wating to go into lpn class with a felony

    ErinRN2B replied to keasia's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Seriously? Assault and battery is not a problem to the BON? I have a friend in the class ahead of mine that has had to jump through some hoops with the Indiana BON because she was arrested with she...

  6. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    ErinRN2B replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    I couldn't imagine being kicked out of school for being pregnant. That's inappropriate. By all means, ask for a physician to give to the go-ahead for clinicals, but to terminate someone from a...

  7. AS in RN to BS?

    ErinRN2B replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    Definitely go for the ASN. Not only is a lot (a lot!) cheaper, but if Idaho is anything like Indiana, a lot of schools are phasing out their LPN-RN transition programs. That school I go to, which...

  8. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    ErinRN2B replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    I miss being able to get pink-and-white solar nails, but it's not nearly a big enough reason for me to think about leaving nursing school! That's ridiculous. Like others have said, I just lavish more...

  9. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    ErinRN2B replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    I know of several people who failed out of specific classes (pharmacology, mostly), but no one who has been kicked out because of disciplinary reasons. I think that you'd have to commit a pretty big...

  10. ITT Tech's New Program???

    ErinRN2B replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Wow, I just read this thread for the first time and was struck by the immaturity of some of the posts. Just some of my thoughts... I don't live in Oregon, I live in Indiana (where ITT happens to be...

  11. Harrison College

    ErinRN2B replied to EmOgle27's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Doesn't it concern you at all that Harrison won't accept your transfer credits? I'm not trying to be overly critical, and of course everyone's situation is unique. But personally, I would never pay...

  12. Would love to be Pharm research nurse - not sure how.

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in Research

    I'm in my second semester of an ASN RN program. I have a 3.8 GPA, and I really love school and clinicals. I plan to work as a staff nurse for a year or two after graduation to gain experience, and I...

  13. PLEASE HELP - May be kicked out.

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a 2nd semester student in a competitive CC program. I just started my OB rotation. First day went fine, but the second day another student reported me for seeing "glassy-eyed" and otherwise...

  14. PLEASE HELP - May be kicked out.

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I'm just nervous as hell. My parents will absolutely kill me if I get kicked out of school... I'm not sure I'll be able to deal with this on a mental

  15. Does anyone else use 'lisa frank' school supplies as an adult?

    ErinRN2B replied to katebean04's topic in General Students

    I'm all for Lisa Frank! May have to start looking for some for myself

  16. What's the toughest part of A&PI?

    ErinRN2B replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember my final in A&P 101, which my grade was very dependent on, had a question about the "Turkish saddle." I was so glad I remembered where that was! My instructors for A&P 1 and 2 used...

  17. Could Really Use Some Guidance

    ErinRN2B replied to blueyes30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, if I were you I would pick up a copy of the ATI TEAS study guide at a campus bookstore or purchase the practice test online. Spend some time going over the areas you struggled with and...

  18. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    ErinRN2B replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved Micro. My instructor was AWESOME, definitely the best teacher I've ever had in college. He had so much education and experience and was really passionate about teaching at the CC level. I...

  19. Nursing careers in Pharmacology?!

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    The local University nearest to me, Purdue (I can walk there from my house) has a really good Pharmacology grad program that I spent a while researching online tonight. Their minimum requirements are...

  20. students who don't seem to study and do so well

    ErinRN2B replied to italy's topic in General Students

    Don't let it bother you. Seriously. You said that you've only been in school a few weeks? She definitely won't be able to carry out a routine like that throughout nursing school... And even if she...

  21. Ugh

    ErinRN2B replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    The first time I was giving a fake injection with a real needle I gave an IM injection at 45 degrees instead of 90. Realized my mistake instantly but felt like a total moron - I'll never make that...

  22. Nursing careers in Pharmacology?!

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Oh, I definitely plan on working for a few years after I get my RN to gain experience. A MS program in Pharmacology sounds interesting - I'll research it.

  23. Ivy Tech Fall 2011

    ErinRN2B replied to absngirl's topic in Indiana Nursing

    ^ That's still an awesome score, if I were you I wouldn't be worried. I got into Lafayette's RN program last year with all As and an 85 on the

  24. nclex style questions

    ErinRN2B replied to steele0921's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try buying an NCLEX prep book with the rationales. This really helped me, I used the Saunders book. I've even seen some of the questions from NCLEX books show up practically verbatim on exams. I don't...

  25. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    ErinRN2B replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    #3 is, sadly, so true. It seems like everyone I go to school with (in a CC ASN program!) is immediately "going on to get their MSN." Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the students who...
