  1. Anyone else hate group projects?

    RN9742 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I am not a fan of group projects either, however I do understand the need for them! It helps you learn to work with others, even if they are difficult. I agree with the advice about trying to find...

  2. abuse or just a mistake

    RN9742 replied to nassir's topic in General Nursing

    It may not be abuse, but for some people it is an extremely painful process. Had this happened to me I would be horrified, my body does not react well to having a foley put in initially. When I had my...

  3. ADN program at Chamberlain College

    RN9742 replied to CMiracle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In all honesty, as a parent of 4 children, I think online course work is even more difficult then being on campus. I know it may seem more flexible, and to some degree it is. However the sheer volume...

  4. Anyone here had any trouble finding a job after graduating from Chamberlain?

    RN9742 replied to Kuniklo's topic in Chamberlain College

    First I wanted to let you know that posting this in the student section likely will not get you the answers you want. You may try posting it in the Missouri section as well. Secondly, I am a current...

  5. looking for a new nursing school

    RN9742 replied to romaric's topic in General Students

    If you have the means, looking into a credible private college may be an option for you. Chamberlain in St. Louis, MO has a good reputation in the area, it was formally Deaconess Nursing School, and...

  6. Overachievers and All Star Students

    RN9742 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I have found, (as well as adopting this practice), that those who do well, and seem to accomplish it all, are very well organized! Something I so admire, and have been striving for. I keep a schedule,...

  7. DO U HAVE......

    RN9742 replied to EILEEN456's topic in General Students

    We have to wear royal blue scrub pants, and a white top with the school crest on the right

  8. very badly behaved ped client

    RN9742 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    She was not judging the family however, the child was indeed acting in a very disrespectful manner. She simply was asking if it was wrong of her to expect respect, and wanted to know how to handle the...

  9. very badly behaved ped client

    RN9742 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    As a parent of 4 children, one of which has a birth defect that has us at the hospital so much I call it my second home... This is totally and completely off base! I think the OP asked a legitimate...

  10. Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

    RN9742 replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One works in a Take Care clinic, ran by Walgreens. She often works 12 hour shifts several times a week. The others work in hospitals. All are on their feet most of their day walking too and from with...

  11. Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

    RN9742 replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you cannot make it through clinicals, I am honestly not sure how you would make it working as a NP. All the NP's I know work way beyond any of the hours an average RN does (Which is usually a min...

  12. Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    RN9742 replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as someone who is currently a stay at home mom/nursing student :) I say stay in the BSN program! If you need more help financially visit your financial aid office, they will be able to point...

  13. swollen lips...should I reschedule interview?

    RN9742 replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably Ice that lip as much as I can over the next 24 hours and go to the interview anyway. If it still looks bad tomorrow, you can explain it when you arrive. It really is not something...

  14. Military Husband:Are Nursing CreditsTransferable To Different Nursing Schools?

    RN9742 replied to Care215's topic in General Students

    I personally think the bigger issue would be even getting into a new nursing school each time you move. The majority of them are very competitive, and difficult to get into. As for classes...

  15. Balancing school with motherhood & a deployed husband.

    RN9742 replied to ashleighannb's topic in General Nursing

    In the time until he leaves, I would make it a priority to make friends! You are going to need all the help and support you can get. Also assuming you are on a decent size base, or near it at least,...

  16. How did you cover your tuition costs?

    RN9742 replied to CSellers3's topic in General Students

    I will be paying for the same program with a Grant, Loans, and as bad as it sounds my husband's leftover grant money! We are both in school and he gets a surplus of financial aid, we have decided his...

  17. Group project

    RN9742 replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    I have no real advice for you... I would say, keep all emails in case someone tries to blame you. This is why I don't like group projects, and I am hoping I will not have to worry about them at my...

  18. Relocating to St. Louis, which neighbourhood?

    RN9742 replied to hpynurs2b's topic in General Nursing

    With traffic depending on what kind of hours you work, it will most likely be at least a 30min drive to Belleville from most parts of St. Louis (especially with all the road construction lately). I do...

  19. necessity of laptop, smartphone, etc?

    RN9742 replied to blissfulinsanity's topic in General Students

    I personally have found my laptop a valuable tool since being in school period. Mostly because I can take it anywhere, and sometimes studying outside of the house is nice. I honestly do not use it in...

  20. Touchless Self Contained Cath

    RN9742 replied to amyjo9972's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to mention... if the ones you are using are the self lubricating ones, where you need to "pop" the water bag to get them to lube up, make sure you get the catheter covered well with the...

  21. Excited about school but...22 weeks preggars

    RN9742 replied to bach09's topic in General Students

    My biggest concern would be... If you do not defer and it does not work out as planned, will you then lose your place completely? It may be wiser to defer your admission till spring if you would risk...

  22. Is anyone commuting really far away?

    RN9742 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    I will be in a similar situation, driving 45mins to an hour or better on one of the busiest interstates in the area. I am not looking forward to it. Unfortunately I will not have any kind of dorm...

  23. Poor nurses

    RN9742 replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    We are quite frugal to be honest, and we do not have many extras. My husband used to make 30 dollars an hour, when he lost his regular full time employment 2 yrs ago it was a shock to our entire...

  24. Is this even possible while in nursing school?

    RN9742 replied to Malory371's topic in General Students

    My first question would be, how stressed or pulled in every direction have you felt while doing all this in High School? If it has been tough for you now, it will only be worse in College. I know...

  25. Chamberlain graduates from St Louis work prospects

    RN9742 replied to lilidra10's topic in General Nursing

    The St. Louis campus no longer offers the ADN program at all. The online program is actually through a campus in Ohio I believe. (Although I thought they had done away with it as well recently, but I...
