    lifelearningrn replied to hufflebinks's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow- we had a similar project in leadership but we had to create a webpage for our unit.. budgets weren't part of it so we had a lot of license to play around. Do you have your choice of any kind of...

    difference between associates and bachelors in nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to kswenson's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My BSN programs classes that the ADN program students in my area don't take. 6 credit hour comprehensive physical assessment class and lab Community health (+90 clinical hours in community) Research...

    BSN and Obamacare

    lifelearningrn replied to Steve123's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're so right. Why should nurses take all those stupid fluff courses. Like a 6 hours a week course/labs of intense Health Assessment. And all the Community Health fluff, what's all that for? And...

    80% BSN by 2020??

    lifelearningrn replied to Guest757854's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in the Texas Medical center, where this is a very realistic goal- in fact more hospitals have almost all BSN

    Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I see all of y'all going through so much studying and preparing for this test. I'm wondering if there is anyone that threw caution to the wind and went in cold? I ask this because from our very...

    Is NP School as Bad as Undergrad NS?

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks everyone for replying. It makes me feel like I have something to go on now as I consider grad school in the future!

    Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry about the double post, I didn't mean to do that. I'll probably practice my Saunders questions leading up to the exam (I haven't been given the okay to schedule yet).. just because I feel the...

    DNP seems like a waste...

    lifelearningrn replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think anyone who has earned a doctoral degree of any sort deserves the title of Doctor. It's not exclusively MDs, though they seem to think it

    I Made it Through!

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone! About 3 years ago I came to this site to help decide if I wanted to go into nursing! I made the decision, was a member of the Pre-Nursing board for 2 semesters, and the following two...

    YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

    lifelearningrn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Just to put things in perspective. Grade 74.97%. Grade needed to pass, 75.00%, no rounding. People fail but a tenth of a point or less more often than one might thing. That A would have been awesome,...

    Any BSNs who went for an MPH?

    lifelearningrn replied to 321kza's topic in Public, Community Health

    I'm looking into OHSU's MPH, which is a fully accredited online program offered from the SON. I was hoping people here would have a little experience with this program but I can't seem to find much...

    Reading for pleasure

    lifelearningrn replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    Reading for pleasure is difficult in nursing school.. especially if you're like me, and HAVE to read a book cover to cover as quickly as possible. The way I've managed my reading addiction is I read A...

    I am Really Enjoying My Hospice Clinicals (Community Health Class)

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am currently doing a rotation in Hospice. I love the whole purpose of it. The interdisciplinary team. Working with the families. I really feel like people deserve to have all the support and care...

    Received my 3rd rejection today.

    lifelearningrn replied to iono101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there other programs out there? The school I am in only looks at first attempts for the science prereqs too. There was another school I was going to apply to that wouldn't accept you if you had...

    What is general skills lab etiquette?

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

    I read your post. It's pretty ambiguous if you're in a program where ET intubation is even in the scope of practice. The skills lab director in my lab runs the lab like a tight ship. If you're not...

    HESI Every SINGLE Semester?

    lifelearningrn replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Like others have said, the end of semester HESI exams are specialized to the subject. We have one for Concepts (fundamentals), Adult 2, OB, Adult 2, Pedi, and we just had the exit HESI. Our passing...

    To much time wasted on classes that have nothing to do with Nursing!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to Mschwab316's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you want to be a trained monkey, or an educated individual? Anyone can be taught to start an IV, insert an NG tube, and take a temperature. You need to know how to write properly, so yes, those...

    nurse told me prereqs are the hardest part

    lifelearningrn replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would be an absolute no. It's not just the difficulty level, it's the fact that nursing classes don't curve grades, don't give bonus questions and rarely 'give' it to you if you are 'close'....

    PLEASE HELP Before they kick me out!

    lifelearningrn replied to FutureRNKat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm assuming you've missed lectures, not clinicals, correct? I think any school that has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to lecture attendance needs to be challenged. People get sick. People...

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    lifelearningrn replied to SaraStevenson's topic in General Students

    People definitely should take whatever road makes sense for them. I hope that those in ADN programs taking BSN level classes, at the very least, can transfer those classes if they bridge. I don't know...

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    lifelearningrn replied to SaraStevenson's topic in General Students

    I think most community college (or even diploma) programs will somehow transfer-- but the classes earned at the technical, for-profit, and/or unaccredited programs, generally will not. It's all about...

    Difference between BSN and ADN

    lifelearningrn replied to SaraStevenson's topic in General Students

    Your ADN program offers complete and separate full semester classes in OB, Peds, ICU and community health? How about full, separate classes in research and management? Heck, we also had semester long...
