  1. Nursing careers in Pharmacology?!

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I posted a similar thread in the Research Nursing forum but was hoping to get more of a students' perspective so I can start to plan out the next steps of my education. I'm in my 2nd semester of an...

  2. "Too many" nursing programs?

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I had to look something up on my state's BON website today and was surprised by the number of new nursing schools that have just recently opened up and are applying for initial accreditation. Most of...

  3. First semester random drug testing time

    ErinRN2B replied to peasNrice's topic in General Students

    I'm sure it's a urine test. Hair tests are expensive, and I doubt any school would be willing to shell out the extra cash, when urine tests are so cheap. Personally, I've never heard of anyone having...

  4. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    ErinRN2B replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I have no problems with LPNs in general. The vast majority of the ones I've met have been knowledgeable and kind. However, I've had a few issues with some in my class currently. I'm an RN student, and...

  5. Is making friends in school important?

    ErinRN2B replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    There are a few people that I really like in my nursing program, but I doubt we will stay close after graduation. I have a few very close friends that I've had for years before I ever started the...

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

    ErinRN2B replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Stop being so clique-y, you're all grown adults! This isn't high school, and acting like it is isn't

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

    ErinRN2B replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Quit talking about your kids. Half of the women here have kids. I have a kid. It doesn't make me special, and it certainly doesn't make you special. Being exceptionally fertile does not make you any...

  8. Psych clinical experiences?

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I start my psychiatric nursing clinical and theory class on the 22nd, and I couldn't be more excited. Psych is one of my biggest interests and I'm seriously considering pursuing a career concentration...

  9. It's going to take me 3 years to earn ADN. Does that sound right?

    ErinRN2B replied to my3mracles's topic in General Students

    My ASN will have taken me three years to complete. One year of pre-reqs - A&P, micro, chem, etc. - and two years of core nursing classes. I think that this is pretty standard for CC ASN

  10. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    ErinRN2B replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    I envy you. My CC is about the same price as yours; all of the loans I have were taken out to help pay living expenses. That's what happens when you have a family headed by two full-time

  11. Going shopping for school supplies tomorrow

    ErinRN2B replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I work part-time at Target, and they have awesome school supplies. Unfortunately I already spend way too much of my paycheck

  12. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    ErinRN2B replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    I'm honestly kind of embarrassed about the amount of debt I have. Student loan debt scares me. It's not awful

  13. A "chick's" perspective on Men in Nursing

    ErinRN2B replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Another "chick's" perspective - plenty of women hold professionalism in pretty high regard, myself included, and this thread doesn't exactly reek of

  14. quitting while i'm ahead

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

    From one anxious gal to another... Plenty of people have had bad experiences with this or that various psych drug. I know I did. Paxil didn't do anything to help my anxiety, but Xanax turned me into a...

  15. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    ErinRN2B replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    Gorked-out =

  16. LPN / ADN / BSN / MSN. Whats YOUR plan?

    ErinRN2B replied to peacelovestar's topic in General Students

    Are you kidding? I'm 22 and I hardly consider myself a "late bloomer" into the nursing field. There are loads and loads of posts on this site from nursing students in their mid-40s or even

  17. LPN / ADN / BSN / MSN. Whats YOUR plan?

    ErinRN2B replied to peacelovestar's topic in General Students

    I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I have one year left in my RN program. I loved my pharm class and would someday like to work in the pharmaceutical industry doing clinical research trials...

  18. Calling all pen aficionados...please report here

    ErinRN2B replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

    I love this post. I'm a non-repentant office supply junkie. Right now I am loving Bic VelocityGel pens. They feel great writing on a thick legal pad in

  19. Morning routine? What is it on those early morning days... Help!

    ErinRN2B replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    If I have to get up early in the AM, I shower the night before instead of the morning of. Not my favorite thing ever, but it saves time. I make sure the clothes I need are washed and folded and ready....

  20. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    ErinRN2B replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    It always shocks me too. I could have graduated 100% debt-free from my school, but I took out loans to help pay my living expenses. I couldn't juggle working, nursing school, and family all at the...

  21. Top nursing schools in the US (thought this was interesting)

    ErinRN2B replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    Glad to see Purdue on there. :) It's 5 minutes away from my house. I go to a local CC, but hopefully I'll complete my bachelor's at

  22. Credit check - so worried all of the sudden.

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I've recently ran across a lot of posts on this site about hospitals and other places of employment running credit checks on potential new hires. This scares me to death because I have bad credit. I...

  23. What are your future nursing plans??

    ErinRN2B replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I have a strong interest in psych, but lately I've been more and more leaning toward PACU. I spent a little time there last semester and loved it. I would never want to work in L&D after the few...

  24. Credit check - so worried all of the sudden.

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    That's ridiculous, IMO, I'm sorry. Having debt doesn't automatically turn someone into a

  25. Pysch Nursing clinical

    ErinRN2B replied to metricalpound's topic in General Students

    Seriously - become familiar with psych meds now, because you'll see them anywhere you go in your nursing career - a lot. Half the meds I passed last semester during my Med/Surg clinical at a hospital...
