    My predicament

    Skips replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    eh...I don't know. You should probably just stick it out. You're almost halfway there, like I said before. You've made it this far, why not just finish? and uh...I wasn't accusing you of program...

    Need a Ladies/Woman's perspective, please.

    I flunked out of clinical today..

    Skips replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    I can. Just because she's not on the job, doesn't mean she couldn't find a reliable way to take the pulse. This was clearly a misstep in communication. Communication could make or break a patient's...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    Skips replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My state is similar to this. There are less and less hospital jobs available that are preferring ADN RNs vs BSN RNs. BSN prepared RNs can get a hospital job a lot easier than an ADN RN. However,...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Skips replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    While I do agree that you made a mistake, I do not feel like you should have gotten kicked out of the program. I apologize. I hope you can work yourself back in. Best

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Skips replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, but it's very unprofessional to have your cell phone out during any clinical experience. I'd say you should be reprimanded for it. In my program, I would have been in huge trouble for

    My predicament

    Skips replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    If you are willing to take more time and spend more money by going to the BSN program, I'd say probably take it if you are that unhappy with your program. However, you are almost halfway done! You're...

    Fall semester is almost over. How did everyone do?

    Skips replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second semester of actual nursing school, but I began clinicals this semester for the first time. I am quite happy with how this semester has been! It's been completely stress-free. I am...

    Can a teacher do this?

    Skips replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand your frustration. Are you in nursing school yet, or are you doing your pre-requisites? Each instructor teaches differently, and prepares students differently. Some are more helpful than...

    Have you had a Hep B titer?

    Skips replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I had to for my school's health & safety requirements to attend campus. My titer was negative, even though I had a previous series done, too. Luckily, it was positive after this series. I...

    The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Nebraska and North Dakota were the only 2 states in the entire United States to have unemployment rates below 4% in September. This is why I feel very

    How many semesters is your program?

    Skips replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

    This thread came back, I guess! (: I am in a BSN program, 4 years, 2 semesters per year...so, 8 semesters. I am a transfer student from a community college, so I needed 7 semesters at my current...

    The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Skips replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, I didn't think you were arguing. I just believe that some people can handle a hospital job during school, and some cannot. I am one of those that cannot at the moment. I do not believe I...

    Debating if I should change my major??

    Skips replied to Lhazlewood's topic in General Students

    Stick with your nursing major. Having a BSN can get you into public health as a nurse. Good luck!

    The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Skips replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I'm choosing not to work while I am in nursing school because I have the blessing and support to focus solely on my grades and getting scholarships. That is my priority right now. I am not interested...

    If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    Skips replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but I'm in nursing school. This is my first degree in college. I would have gone into elementary education or high school english, but I changed my mind. My dream job would be...

    Yup, I failed...2nd year, first semester! Need advice

    Skips replied to UmmIbrahim's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wait it out and finish the program. You might as well take the advice the school gave you. Dropping out wouldn't do any good. A later graduation date is better than no

    This semester of nursing school not going well for me - unbelievable

    Skips replied to Nogoodmood's topic in General Students

    Well, I hate to sound mean...but it really does seem like you're not following your instructor's directions. I think you need to think about this situation. Why don't you park where your instructor...

    Common Misconceptions About Professional Licensure
