    Feeling a little lost.

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

    I took Bio I and II for my AA and and I can say Bio I was mind boggling hard. The concepts were almost impossible for me to wrap my mind around. Bio 2 was a little easier. Geology was challenging, but...

    Changing schedule and not telling me

    lifelearningrn replied to nurse nessie's topic in General Nursing

    What if they'd have scheduled you a shift when you thought you were off? Bad news! I'd definitely talk to whoever makes the schedule. Also, out of total curiosity.. how do you make working SIX hours...

    To be a nurse or not to be a nurse?

    lifelearningrn replied to lindsayk28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you're dead on. Perhaps it is a generational thing, or a socioeconomic thing, but doing what you're 'passionate' isn't an option for a great number of people. I don't think my dad was ever...

    anybody move to TX and regret it?

    lifelearningrn replied to Ms.RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    More labor unions in Texas? We have some safety labor laws, child labor laws and such but as far as workforce regulations, I'd say they overwhelmingly favor the business and not the employee. There...

    anybody move to TX and regret it?

    lifelearningrn replied to Ms.RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Houston from Alaska.. that has to be a shock on the system. I've lived in Houston since I was 6 (32 years) and when I graduate I'm getting out of dodge and going somewhere else to live. Alaska isn't...

    I lost my job.

    lifelearningrn replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It looks to me like they took an easy route to reducing a full time, full benefit position... the fact that she offered to let you work per diem, imo, shows that. They want you there to do the work,...

    To be a nurse or not to be a nurse?

    lifelearningrn replied to lindsayk28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I don't think you need to have grown up with a burning desire to be a nurse to become a nurse. I really don't think there is anything wrong with looking for a career that can be stable and...

    My friends won't be in my study group!

    lifelearningrn replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Your friends will find their way (be it in or OUT of nursing school).. don't worry about them. I think you will find that you'll gravitate to people that you CAN study and share information with. It...

    lifelearningrn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you look at the sticky on top of this forum there is a thread called, "A&P- From my brain to yours"... she has some wonder notes that break things down really, really well! Go print those out....

    bio vs ap

    lifelearningrn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Bio and while some of the concepts we covered in Bio is in my current A&P class... A&P is definitely going into way more detail and using more of the medical terminology that we didn't...

    Am I eligible for a license with my background?

    lifelearningrn replied to Boomer32's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There is a forum here for nurses and potential nurses with criminal backgrounds. There is a lot of information there and I suggest taking the time and going through the threads there. I've read...

    Microbiology problem, 3 credit course OK!?

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

    I think what they are looking for is the lab along with the lecture. A lot of schools offer 3 credit science classes as well as classes for "non-science" majors.. which are often only 3 credits. Did...

    Residential hospices - open door policies?

    lifelearningrn replied to HealthShepherd's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think converting the home into a hospice is unrealistic.. but allowing people to stop in and browse and visit the memorial does. If it were a bed & breakfast, maybe.. but not a place where...

    have you taken any of these classes online: Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology

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

    It really depends on the instructor how vigorous the workload is going to be. I took Sociology online and it was a pretty easy A... I had an awesome professor though. You may want to check Rate my...

    Hope for New Grads in the Future

    lifelearningrn replied to kvisintine's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not a profession that will go obsolete nor can it be outsourced. While there may be times of hiring freezes and such.. the future lookout for nurses, imho, will always be for the most part...

    rejection is making me lost

    lifelearningrn replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, I think you need to cast your net out a little further.. don't put your eggs in one basket. The more schools you apply to the better your chances of getting in. Second, and I may be...

    Advice on how to beat procrastination.

    lifelearningrn replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a horrible procrastinator. Last semester I was taking 5 classes and a lab and procrastinated the work on every one. (Got it all done on time) My sociology instructor (online class) gave us until...

    lifelearningrn replied to I_love_yoga's topic in School, College Programs

    The school has less than a 60% pass rate and the admissions councilor lied about it and basically gave her none of the information she was asking for. Without knowing anything about this school, just...

    Affairs between staff members spouses

    lifelearningrn replied to pielęgniarka's topic in General Nursing

    No f'in way I'd go anywhere near nurse 2 if I were nurse 1. Her actions are morally bankrupt and HR should know so of a positions opens up somewhere else one of them can be moved. Nurse 2 deserves to...
