  1. Exhausted... lost all momentum... one more to go...

    grpman replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    Lol, I've got nothing for ya. No advice at all. But I do hope you make it. Anyways, let us know how you cope b/c I might need to use your techniques

  2. What type of school did you choose for nursing?

    grpman replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The real issue isn't what is better in general, but what is best for you. If all is equal, more education is usually best. But life never presents us with such clear cut options. A BSN is coveted...

  3. Male Student looking for advise/info

    grpman replied to Drotondi1518's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have a 3.4 gpa with about 120 hours. Half of those I took when I was younger and I made poor grades. The other half I did well on. I aced my pre-reqs and did well on the entrance exam and was...

  4. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    grpman replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a smoking, obese, unprotected sex having, wild partying nurse can take care of me all day long if all that is left outside my hospital door. I'd rather have him or her than the thin,...

  5. Singled out nursing student

    grpman replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    As I read this post I've tried to put myself in your shoes. If I was the only white guy in a class of all blacks and couldn't make friends I might would have the same feeling that you do. But I'd...

  6. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    grpman replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    The title of the thread is "1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??" If you didn't like the terms "weed out" you probably don't like the term "cut." It also implies removal by someone else. My question is...

  7. A&P 1 and Microbiology

    grpman replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A and PII and Micro together and did great in both classes due to nothing more than studying. I am married, work full-time and have 3 kids all under the age of 10. I wouldn't say that these...

  8. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hey Lisa. I was hoping someone else would post a reply b/c I have no clue how to answer. First, I have no idea what would transfer. I'd call the school for that one. Secondly, I'm not sure how how...

  9. Community College? You must be stupid.

    grpman replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    99% of the posts are great and offer a lot to think about. But that 1% seems to contain an elitist attitude that is nothing more than humorous. I think a thread should be started by doctors who say...

  10. extra classes

    grpman replied to shannpct's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had an adviser tell me not to take any of my sciences together b/c of how hard they are. It would have taken me over a year to complete from that point before I could even apply and then play the...

  11. micro

    grpman replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's all about the teacher. I actually enjoyed the harder teachers and felt I learned more. Micro was as close to fun as I can get while shelling out money for tuition and listening to one person...

  12. I think I made the wrong decision....:(

    grpman replied to iwanttobeanurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I can't tell you what you should do, but you do have youth on your side. The way I see it, have fun. You have plenty of time to change your career path if you want. Cops, firemen, nurses,...

  13. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    grpman replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    This is a lot like asking someone if they would like to have sex without getting their name first. Sorry, but it's just not a social

  14. Singled out nursing student

    grpman replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    Most things that we dread aren't nearly as frightening after time. It's amazing how a week or two can change everything. Stay the course and be friendly and I bet all will work itself

  15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    grpman replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I'm sure that there are some universities that are much harder than community colleges. But if you aren't in the Ivy leagues or at Cal at Berkeley, don't come braggin! Your 4 year, online, no...

  16. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    grpman replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    I think semantics can be a tricky game of verbal judo especially when typing short replies and not speaking face to face. "Weeding out" to me meant that people were removed from classes due to not...

  17. Please Help...should I self report?

    grpman replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you google "Health Practioner's Monitoring Program allnurses," your post is the second entry to pop up. I like that you are upfront and say what has happened, but do watch how you word things in...

  18. What were the gender ratios in your nursing classes?

    grpman replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in Men in Nursing

    Lol I'm thinking nobody is wanting to answer your question or totally got thrown off by the word heterosexual. Here is my theory on why. The man who gets lucky in nursing school doesn't want to get...

  19. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    grpman replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    There are always more than one reason why people don't make it through nursing school, but I think the weeding out process helps schools to say that they have an exagerated success rate. The school...

  20. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I think a hand written letter from Obama isn't worth an "A" in your sciences. I'm saying it isn't even worth as much as a decent nln score or total gpa. However, if you score exactly the same on...

  21. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I spoke with Cpr To Go and she told me that there is one slot left for July 11th and several left for July 25th. She is with AHA and has taught a few people I know who work at major hospitals in...

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If med term is a req. then this is the first I know about it. And nope I haven't done my physical, bought books, nor ordered my scrubs. How mainy uniforms are you guys buying? Just

  24. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    @girlshunt2-I took statistics this past spring so it must have been someone else. I am curious about my tba dosages class now that the issue has come up. I hope my classes don't overlap too. But,...

  25. Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    grpman replied to girlshunt2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I haven't been on here in a while and it looks like a few of you made some posts since then. It's good to see a little activity to remind me that you guys are still around. Well, I can't remember you...
