  1. Should I allow tuition costs to dictate my education? HELP please!

    RN9742 replied to unbalanced's topic in General Students

    RN to BSN programs are a dime a dozen, I say go the the most affordable one you can fine that will meet your needs. If you wait till you are working as an RN, you may get lucky and be a a facility...

  2. Elsevier and Chromebook.

    RN9742 replied to rldubz's topic in General Students

    With pageburst I think you will be fine, however my school also uses the online resources for the textbooks, (evolve) and they do not work properly on my ipad. You could check their FAQ section or...

  3. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    RN9742 replied to lissart's topic in General Students

  4. What was/are the 3 things that got/get you through nursing school?

    RN9742 replied to crushlush's topic in General Students

    1. Prayer 2. Caffeine 3. An amazing support

  5. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    RN9742 replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    The most uncomfortable thing I experienced, was a male student listening to my heart/chest sounds... We compromised, I placed the stethoscope in the proper place for him (for the ones near my breast,...

  6. **advice please**nursing school with 3 kids (2 with special needs)

    RN9742 replied to LissaOh's topic in General Students

    It depends on a few factors, but I would say it will be extremely difficult without proper child care. My classes and clinicals have frequently either started before my daughter needed to be at...

  7. Nervous about the after graduation unknown!

    RN9742 replied to Katja508's topic in General Students

    A year? That's crazy, it will definitely not take that long in the STL area, most places hire fairly quickly, and want to get you interviewed and orientating to your new position as soon as possible....

  9. Nervous about the after graduation unknown!

    RN9742 replied to Katja508's topic in General Students

    The job market, even for adn's is not that horrible in STL, I would quit applying for jobs you obviously cannot take though. Most places do not fill RN jobs with students who have yet to even...

  10. Supplies

    RN9742 replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Students

    Really? You would not make it in my school, most instructors do not allow us to use the dynamap! In fact I don't even know how to use one (although I suspect I could figure it out) but I can take a...

  11. Just got into nursing school

    RN9742 replied to fcaruso1's topic in General Students

    I am a week away from my 36th birthday, have 4 kids, a dog, a cat, and a husband (aka kid no 5). I am also a few months shy of finishing nursing school. :) I chose an ADN program, because it is local,...

  12. Need RN credits transfer help so badly to a college that will accept them.

    RN9742 replied to tupamoto's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I would appeal for re admittance in your current school. Worse case they say no, but you will never know if you do not try. It's my understanding nursing classes do not transfer, especially...

  13. Nurse jobs that allow modifications?

    RN9742 replied to hayleyyelyah's topic in General Students

    In my experience it really depends on how extreme the modifications are. Honestly my school is more strict than the facilities we have been in! I must abide by school guidelines until I am done with...

  14. Should I retake Anatomy?

    RN9742 replied to MFarina87's topic in General Students

    I personally would not retake it, but I see no harm in reviewing information. I got a C in both parts of A&P, and have done exceptionally well in my nursing courses. For me A&P reminded me of...

  15. Licensure and Work Question

    RN9742 replied to kimmie24's topic in General Students

    Do you mean before graduation, or before completion of all of the required courses?! I only ask because I don't see how you would be allowed to sit for boards if you have not even completed your...

  16. Best alarm clock tone for an iphone?

    RN9742 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    With the clock on iOS you can set several alarms, and set them to repeat on whatever days you need. I have three alarms set for clinical days that are about 15mins apart, then I have one for lecture...

  17. How many NClex questions did you practice during nursing school?

    RN9742 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't keep track, I usually do them when studying for exams, and choose whatever topic the exam is on. How many I do depends on how much time it took me to get through all the material for...

  18. What is your grading scale?

    RN9742 replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    A - 93-100 B - 86-92 C - 80-85 Anything less than 80 is a failure, when figuring final grades they go to the hundredth place and round up to the nearest whole number, so after it is all said and done...

  19. NCLEX eBook

    RN9742 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does anyone have any of the comprehensive NCLEX review books in ebook format? I generally like ebooks, but when it comes to textbooks sometimes I prefer hard copy. I have one nclex comprehensive...

  20. Studying during break...

    RN9742 replied to rosyariana's topic in General Students

    I mostly plan on enjoying the break, but I do plan to do some practice nclex questions here and there to keep things

  21. BSN vs ASN

    RN9742 replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    As someone who researched BSN vs ADN in my area, the ADN program had a much better reputation, and hospitals were more likely to hire grads from it than they were from the BSN program. It turns out...

  22. Should I miss the first day of nursing class?

    RN9742 replied to brianna1's topic in General Students

  23. Should I miss the first day of nursing class?

    RN9742 replied to brianna1's topic in General Students

    I would contact your instructor, explain the situation, as well as your director. In most case missing 1 class is not that big of a deal, especially for a valid

  24. Should I reapply to nursing school?

    RN9742 replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    You could, but why would you? By bridging you would be able to skip the nursing classes you have already taken in your LPN program. No point in taking courses you already took. You would have to find...

  25. Should I reapply to nursing school?

    RN9742 replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    Can you delay your admission to the lpn program? In your situation I would probably apply again for the BSN program, and possibly see about delaying the start of the lpn program until after you hear...
