  5. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    clucito01 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Hidden costs are outrageous! But I guess with school you have to pay in deep before you can start getting "real grown up" paychecks as I call them! At my school starting from the moment I first...

  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    clucito01 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Thank you for being there for me when I found out I was getting held back a year! You were probably the only reason I stayed somewhat - and it's still questionable to this day - mentally sane! Thank...

  9. What are your nursing school uniform colors?

    clucito01 replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    My school is royal blue for the top & pants with our patch on the right sleeve. We look like giant blueberries! :) But I totally agree with you about the admiration part! I'd see the nursing...

  11. ADN=RN

    clucito01 replied to Birdbr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You do what you want! Don't let anyone sway you into it! You may regret it in the end! BUT, with that said I know that here in the KC area a lot of hospitals are strictly hiring BSN grads. Mainly...

  12. Depressed about student loans :(

    clucito01 replied to skulskcc01's topic in General Students

  14. Are you insulted????

    clucito01 replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    First off if you are truly happy with being a CNA then more power to you! Those nurses should NEVER have insulted you for your choice! Sad to say many nurses only get experience as a CNA during their...

    clucito01 replied to okredrobot's topic in General Students

    You look around the classroom before spring break and think "Man, we all look like zombies!" And when you come back from spring break everyone has their hair cut & colored, eyebrows waxed, and...

  17. Help dismissed from RNprogram

    clucito01 replied to olliefos's topic in General Students

    I agree! But I do understand that some classes are harder than others! I didn't meet my 73% test average in Patho last semester and was absolutely devastated when they told me that I had to sit out of...

    clucito01 replied to ooomonkeys's topic in General Students

    clucito01 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Students

  22. Waste of Time?

    clucito01 replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students
