  1. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    Streamline2010 replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    Mine doesn't We literally have lectures 8AM to 11AM, then 12PM to 3PM-4PM, and that is consistent M/T/W. By the end of the day W, you can't walk from sitting in un-ergo fiberglass chairs for three...

  2. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    Streamline2010 replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    That's nice if that's true. I'm not a student at your school. But I do know that all schools, if they don't outright lie at times, will strategically omit information. And apparently no nursing...

  3. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    Streamline2010 replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    Some random thoughts in no particular order: 1. The type of student in the student body has changed. You have diversity that never existed to the same degree before. Since the economy tanked in...

  4. Ughgh!!

    Streamline2010 replied to JNUR20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took one of my pre-reqs at a very expensive private school, just because they had seats open and the community college course sections were all filled. Cost me a lot of money but it kept me on...

  5. Students getting kicked out of Dade Medical College & Keiser?

    Streamline2010 replied to Bebet39's topic in Florida Nursing

    SOMEBODY pays the bill or the kids get kicked out: That's how it works in the USA. Higher ed is not free here. There are good reasons for attending a private school or a for-profit, vs. a...

  6. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Streamline2010 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL! That's what I call developing the proper patient response! Whatever happened to that training, or was it always only something they taught the doctors? I recall a friend who went to MD...

  7. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Streamline2010 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    People who think of community college as not-real-college are certainly behind the times. Gee, where I live, the community college has the most academically rigorous freshman and sophomore level...

  8. Is nursing really a profession?

    Streamline2010 replied to RN Marx02's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but a female engineer is always an engineer, not ever a slop-cleaning Mommy-servant-girl. Sorry, but nursing does not have nearly the autonomy nor the dignity of engineering. And engineering...

  9. What do you WISH someone had told before hand about nursing school or a test?

    Streamline2010 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    If you are task oriented and don't want to be everything to everyone, then look more at LPN or surgical tech or diagnostic sonographer or PT or something, not RN. RN training, at least in...

  10. im selfish? hmmm

    Streamline2010 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've gotten that same reaction from people all of my life. I'm Protestant, surrounded by working class Catholics. My usual response is that I have a sterling silver flute, a beach towel, a classic...

  11. How did classmates who didn't get into nursing school react when you got in?

    Streamline2010 replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    There is nothing wrong with you, but they have Crab Bucket Syndrome. See

  12. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    Streamline2010 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't bite your head off. I just stated a practical fact: IF you want to have a career, AND your heart is set on that, then you make vocational training and establishing your career and...

  13. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    Streamline2010 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no moral issue to be learned here, folks, Move along. There's nothing to see... USA is a free country. People can earn any degree that they want and then use it. Or, they can get a...

  14. Theme song to your Nursing career?

    Streamline2010 replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn, Oh the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn, Oh the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn, and the doctor said it would do no harm, SECOND...

  15. how hard is the math in nursing programs? how about the HESI exam?

    Streamline2010 replied to codyiscool's topic in General Students

    My school is really hepped up on us being able to do math without a calculator. We had to pass a math test in semester 1, and we have another one in semester 2. That said, the material has been:...

  16. my personal advice to the students currently in school aka future nurses...

    Streamline2010 replied to passredskins1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    True, that. In nursing, you need to learn it all and carry it around in your head. The material from fundamentals or growth & development or whatever doesn't go

  17. As a Nursing student, would you prefer to have a room mate or to live by yourself?

    Streamline2010 replied to RN_student23's topic in General Students

    1st choice: Alone. 2nd choice if forced to: Roommate who is another nursing student. Nobody in a standard degree, because they don't have to work as hard and have free time for

  18. Nursing for non-nursing Bachelor Degree Students

    Streamline2010 replied to cliffmatics's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's the reality of it. All the hard stuff is in there. Diploma RN, associate degree RN, and BSN: All sit for the exact same NCLEX-RN. Most people nowadays do not finish an associate degree RN...

  19. Warning potential nursing students

    Streamline2010 replied to superduperawesome's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aside from not being accredited and possibly not having competent instructors, i don't see where you got anything much different from the typical nursing school experience everywhere. nursing is more...

  20. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Streamline2010 replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You forgot: Demand a poop specimen so they could check for parasites. fwiw, the hospital that I do clinicals in has a clearly stated lift limit of 35# per person. That is a much more realistic...

  21. Is it only hard for Asn and Bsn nurses to get hired?

    Streamline2010 replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in General Nursing

    I think RNs of any flavor should get used to the idea that they might not get to work in a hospital. Hospitals are shortening patient stays and downsizing staff and are closing units and...

  22. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    Streamline2010 replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I used a GED math review book, and Cliff's Notes general Biology, since I'd never taken more than 1 semester of 9th grade biology. I used the McGraw Hill nursing pre-entrance exam book, the HESI...

  23. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't become a CNA, and I won't become a CNA, unless I decide to settle for just a CNA $8/hour job as a new career. For those displaced workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign...

  24. Getting an associates degree when you already have a Bachelors Degree in another fiel

    Streamline2010 replied to DawnMP3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    At least some of those masters degree programs that bridge a non-RN baccalaureate degree holder to masters in nursing have you completing the BS RN degree requirements along the way. Probably not all...

  25. What to buy/read before starting nursing school!

    Streamline2010 replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/nclex-hesi-study-507271.html That thread is worth taking a look at, because there is a list of typical values, results, and such. I've only been...
