  2. How many in your class Started/Finished

    SoulShine75 replied to carilyn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We started with 32. Coming upon our last semester we only have 20 left. I'd say about 6 of those ppl failed and the rest dropped or were encouraged to b/c they weren't going to pass. It's a small...

  7. Being Sexually Harrassed

    SoulShine75 replied to markymark's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above post. The recorder could be used against you. The one thing that WILL stand up in court is documentation. Write down everything you can remember...dates, times, the weather...

  8. Silly question...about applying to RN programs?

  9. Hospitals Helping With Tuition?

    SoulShine75 replied to klynette's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just applied for a scholarship through my hospital and they will pay everything 100% as long as you maintain a B average. I think less than that they will pay a lower percentage. The catch is you...

  10. 2 yrs for pre-reqs? Does that sound right?

    SoulShine75 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me a year and a half (including summer) to do my pre-req's. I also took A&P II with NSG 101 and Micro with NSG 203...don't do that. It was crappy. I passed, but it was still crappy,...

  14. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    SoulShine75 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Judging by this conversation, it appears to me that Myrtle is a new and unorganized nurse who was falling behind and stressed. Myrtle was looking forward to her break due to her stress and was spoken...

  15. Info session left me feeling down

    SoulShine75 replied to Crouton2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you're feeling down and that things may not go the way they should. I know it's discouraging. Go ahead and try and if you don't get it the first time consider it a blessing. You really don't...

  18. What Was That ?

    SoulShine75 replied to vapnstudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Isn't it funny how you never feel like you know the answers on tests, but yet you pass anyway? I do that all the time...leave a test thinking I guessed at all of the answers and get a good grade. Why...

    SoulShine75 replied to Ekklesia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting those classes out of the way was a huge blessing for you. I just completed my 3rd semester of my ADN program and had to take med micro with it. Ugh. Talk about wishing I could turn back...

  20. Need nursing school advice (what to expect)

    SoulShine75 replied to leslieinla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Leslie. I guess it depends on the kind of support you have. Are you married or in a relationship where your partner or family can help with the home and kids? I haven't worked at all while in...

  23. Which is better, handwashing or hand sanitizer?

    SoulShine75 replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

    Ofcourse as everyone here has been taught...you should always wash if visably soiled and probably use sanitizer as well. We did a study in our micro class and discovered that using the sanitizer with...

    SoulShine75 replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Vicki. Try not to be too hard on yourself. You did everything you could have done and unfortunately it was left to luck only. I just don't understand those lottery systems. It seems like there is a...

  25. Preferred Nursing Shoe?

    SoulShine75 replied to Linz8's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
