    First step complete!

    lifelearningrn replied to MissyBee4983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Don't be shocked about doing well on the GED, just because you quit school early, doesn't mean you're not smart enough to succeed! I'm sure you did great on the math and science....

    Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

    lifelearningrn replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    How very supportive. I don't think one's anxiety over an entrance exam is an indicator that they won't be able to cut nursing school. The time limits and pressure to get a competitive score can...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    lifelearningrn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    And I can actually see why this is the case. Student loans are non-credit based so a kid out of high school with no money and no credit can go to college. The lender has to have some protection, and...

    Am I making a mistake by enrolling in an ADN program?

    lifelearningrn replied to jacky8168's topic in General Students

    BSN students take just as much clinicals as ADN. Honestly, I will never understand where this misconception comes from-- Isn't there a required amount of clinical hours for a school to keep it's...

    Am I making a mistake by enrolling in an ADN program?

    You're not wasting your time. You love your program, see it through. It'll be easy enough to bridge down the road.

    What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    lifelearningrn replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As challenging as geriatrics can be, it's one of the areas I'm most looking forward too... I love old people as much as I do kids!

    What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    lifelearningrn replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm open to just about anything!! I'm looking forward to clinicals to try different things out. I'm also open to public health, doctor's offices, school nursing, hospice-- not much I'm not considering...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    lifelearningrn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    This is not unique to nurses right now- this is happening across the board with non-executive professional and paraprofessional jobs. Wage freezes, hiring freezes, insurance and benefit reductions,...

    lifelearningrn replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    I think you've got too much on your plate with the death of your grandmother, you grandfather falling ill, full time work and volunteering. Something needs to give.. I think if you make an...

    failed my clinical rotation? very worried..

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    It sounds to me like she's saying that you don't go above and beyond. There are people in the world that will do the minimum required of them, and little more. There are other people that will do...

    If they are still doing that in Tacoma when I graduate- I might be taking you up on that--- I'd love to move to the west

    failed my clinical rotation? very worried..

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    At the very least written apologies to the dean, the clinical instructor, and the school (clinical site) is in order. Be sure to also write an essay acknowledging the mistakes you made, the possible...

    Help!!! I can not find a job!!

    lifelearningrn replied to Robin, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Is relocation a possibility? Perhaps you can widen your search that way. Also, have you tried looking at doctor's offices, LTC, Assisted Living, Home Health, etc....

    Pregnant nursing student/worried

    lifelearningrn replied to Sbn1012's topic in General Students

    We can't give you medical advice- but I can say with a degree of certainty your doctor is not going to clear you for work a week after your C-section.. I wasn't allowed to pick up anything heavier...

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    You're making excuses for your careless behavior.. You don't use your cell phone while you're taking care of patients (or children).. hell, even if you were flipping burgers, you wouldn't be allowed...

    has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    lifelearningrn replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    You just have to consider the risk/reward ratio. Is this a true 'once in a lifetime' event? Because unless it's your wedding, or a very sick child, or dinner with the president of the U.S.A.. I can't...

    Took Teas did not pass

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think the acceptances are all done at the Denton campus so the competitiveness might be all about the number of spots available and applicants for each campus. 90 were accepted for Houston and 100...

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Absolutely- you have an excellent GPA and proficient TEAS V score. Assuming you don't have multiple retakes of the important classes, I think you have as good a shot as I did, and I got into a good...
