  1. Mean director

    I've been offered a school nurse job starting next school year. I met the head nurse over the whole district recently at an event and boy-oh-boy is she a crabby lady. She was so unhappy about...
  2. Mean director

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the good advice. Emergent, this is a new school in the district so I'm not replacing someone who left. I think I'll go ahead and try it. There are a lot of...
  3. Tired of never feeling good about nursing school!

    I guess I'm the oddball. My school is not like that at all. I was expecting it to be, though. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we are all treated with a very high level of respect....
  4. I don't want night shifts

    It all depends on where you live. I'm in the S. East and if you are an RN here you can pretty much choose where and when you work. The "nursing shortage" is alive and well here which makes it easy...
  5. I Can't, I Have Lab

    I've had that schedule too! Crazy! What is perplexing me this semester (first semester of nursing school) is that I'm in lab from 8-2 one day per week and get one (1!) credit for it!? And I am in...
  6. ADN=RN

    In my area, an ADN RN will be easily hired and is qualified for management positions. In my town, we have one CC and one university. The graduates from the CC are in demand over the university...
  7. New Student

    I agree with MN-Nurse. You may hear that 75 or whatever is passing and will get you out of the class, but you need to work for all A's to have a good shot at getting accepted into a nursing program....
  8. Have you ever been paralyzed by fear?

    I'm 44 and got accepted to start in January. I'm nervous too, but I did well in prereqs so I'm confident!! You'll do great!!
  9. Be a nurse or not?! HELP ME PLEASE!

    No one, nurses included, likes cleaning up poop. But fortunately lots of people, you included, can get used to it so it doesn't seem so bad. We all (even nurses) are opposed to things like poop...
  10. Taking an algebra course online. Good idea?

    I took College Algebra in an online 8-week course last year. That thing was hard! I worked by tail off and ended up with a B. I know I would have done better had I been in a classroom with a...
  11. Stay at home mom...scared to go back to school

    I was a stay at home mom for 16 years (still am) and went back to school one year ago. I was scared! But I have totally rocked! My GPA is 3.85. Just decide to succeed and you
  12. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    A&P 2 Final tomorrow. Start Micro in a few weeks (fall). That's it for me. Nothing left to
  13. I Need Help Really Bad!!!!!

    The original post is almost 4 years old, but I just have to post. Don't put your hope in karma. There is no such thing as karma, so why would you "believe" in it? Put your hope in Jesus and he will...
  14. What do you listen to while studying

    Firework. Katy Perry. "Cause baby you're a firework Come on show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst...
  15. I think everyone has the right to major in anything they want for ANY reason they want. If she wants a nursing degree but never plans on using it, she has that right. She's using it for a stepping...
  16. Answer this question please...

    The medical world loves to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate! So I would chose the vaccinate choice. In my family and with my kids, I am very choosy when it comes to vaccines. After extensive...
  17. My four children are 16, 14, and twins 12. They are each 22 mos. apart in age. When people ask me about my kids the conversation always comes back to the fact that they are so close in age. My...
  18. Could it be...don't have to take Chemistry? :)

    I just found out today that the RN to BSN program I'll be looking into at some point in time just removed chem from the prereq and replaced it with an elective. It's my state's university. Wow, I'm...
  19. 2year RN vs BSN

    Check around in your area. It's different everywhere. In my area we have two schools: the CC and the University. The hospitals here will hire an ADN RN from the CC over the BSN RN from the...
  20. Could it be...don't have to take Chemistry? :)

    No chem required from my school which has an extremely high nclex pass rate (top 5 in state). I got a 97 final avg in AP1 with zero chem background (and none in high school either). The hospitals...
  21. Prenursing while a CNA

    I dont have kids but I DO have great study habits. That's what it takes! Great study
  22. Try to get into a daily study routine. I noticed that I was able to get many things done in my life that were part of my "routine". So I scheduled daily study time and I keep it part of my daily...
  23. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Because the pay is good, the job is in high demand in my area, the training doesn't take too long, and I like taking care of
  24. I was awful at the microscope. So bad that I thought it was over. So bad that I was embarrassed to ask for help! So I mentally checked out, pretended I knew what I was donig, then went home and...
  25. I got my acceptance letter today!!

    Oohh, that sounds very interesting! My school doesn't have that. Tell me
