  1. Having a bad preceptorship experience. Need encouragement.

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to regrebs's topic in General Students

    I first want to apologize that you are having the most useless experience in your preceptorship. To try to make it better you might ask if you can shadow X nurse (someone you have seen excel in the...

  2. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    Sorry man, I think a lot of us here (myself included) assume everyone one posting is a chick until informed otherwise. For the clinicals that are like an hour away I'm 99% sure your preceptor will...

  3. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    At my school at least we all meet on campus and go to clinicals together so we dont clutter up the already jammed paring lot with a million cars. You may be able to just ride with your clinical group....

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to megan3485's topic in General Students

    I totally understand feeling like you have no options. You really may have more than you think, you just have to be creative. Finding a college you can afford and you can get into would be my first...

  7. I Must Be Crazy...

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to ruaalien2's topic in General Students

    I would advise taking as many electives that you like as long as they leave enough time for core classes. As far a patho and pharm go I would not take any other electives that semester, pharm is not...

  8. Think I Bombed the NLN-RN Today :'(

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to bella_autore's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the NLN a few weeks ago and left the test thinking "well everything went well, until the test started". I didnt take long at all for the NLN to get my scores back so that was delightful. I am...

  10. Diagnosed with MS

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to NAZIZ's topic in General Students

    My mom has MS and has since she was 2. She has a mild case of MS but that is not to say that it does not affect her. I say as long as you can continue your dream. If you need to take a semester off....

  12. HIV+ student concerned about drug testing while taking Marinol

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to up'n'coming's topic in General Students

    You cannot be discriminated against for HIV status at all. Your drug test might be positive and your medication prescriptions should clear you name. Just in case I would get a letter from your primary...

  13. What are health related programs that are < competitive than Nursing ? Need a career!

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

  14. Texas Nursing Laws.. Need Advice

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to blbacon5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While we are unable to provide legal advise here but it sounds like that would disqualify you from being accepted. Also you have a warrant for FAILURE to pay a speeding ticket, seems petty compared to...

  15. Pre-Clinical Fears

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to student1901's topic in General Students

    If you don't have time to do a CNA class before you start your program I would recommend shadowing a nurse a few times. You can watch them and visualize yourself doing the same thing. Just remind...

  16. Alverno College Nursing Students Out There?

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Student179's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! It sounds like the instructors aren't great but aren't awful. I went for my BS at a school where the nursing students did clinicals at Mayo so I understand most schools in the Milwaukee area...

  17. Alverno College Nursing Students Out There?

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Student179's topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys- I am interested in Alverno but am wary of the poor quality of teaching that has been discussed here. Are the professors just totally inadequate? Poor teaching and testing? Bad clinical...

  23. NLN Pax-rn study guides?

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to Chassy83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the book listed above from Amazon. I liked it and I also got the "secrets to the NLN PAX". Most of it was common sense but it was a good reassurance. I take my test on the 24th of July. WOW...

    Nursesomeday0211 replied to badgerbabe287's topic in General Nursing

    I was interested in Herzing a while ago and I just felt like I was being harassed by the "admissions counselor". It was very much a sales pitch and they were very pushy. I am instead applying to...
