    beginning nursing school in the fall...scared!

    Annachu512 replied to GaNicuRN14's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school with no CNA experience or anything. While CNAs have a certain advantage when it comes to clinical work, they usually do not have any advantage when it comes to course work....

    In the middle of summer break... 2 semesters left

    Annachu512 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May and cannot wait to get back at it. I have no job and am a stay at home mom when I'm not at school. Love my daughter but I need a break and school is that break!

    Annachu512 posted a topic in General Students

    I am so ready to start back to school..I'm getting awfully bored :/ I'm even thinking this while on vacation at my in-laws. I am just so ready to finish the year and graduate this May. Anyone else...

    Getting bored!!

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    That's one of my problems; I do not have a job. I tried to get one but I have a two year old and the hubby works full time. Needless to say. my schedule is limited. I couldn't even get a call back...

    Job shortage just for ADN or BSN as well?!

    Annachu512 replied to Tally4970's topic in General Students

    Really depends on where you live. I live in central PA and from what I have heard, nobody is having issues around here either. Plus our local hospital is in the middle of a merger with a larger...

    would you work this rotating schedule?

    Annachu512 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to work it a few weeks to see how that would be. Having the 3 day weekend every weekend would be nice. But not everyone could work a schedule like that and stay very sane. As a pharmacy...

    Advice from a sad new grad

    Annachu512 replied to Lamjammcgee's topic in General Students

    We don't have much of a problem here in central Pennsylvania either. The local hospital is pretty good at hiring new grads. Plus there is a merger with a much bigger company that has created more jobs...

    What is your school's grading scale like?

    Annachu512 replied to vc01ca's topic in General Students

    Anything below a 79% is failing for our school. I finished last semester with a 78%.....so lucky me gets to repeat

    Has the job market gotten better for new grads?

    Annachu512 replied to debi49's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Completely depends on the area. I'm in central PA and the local hospital hires a lot of new grads. I have not yet heard of our grads having any issues. But again, that's here. Each state or even city...

    Career Change

    Annachu512 replied to MrTexas's topic in General Students

    You have a lot of great options online to gain the BSN degree after the ADN. With you needing to work, the ADN would probably be a better idea. Just be prepared for how much time nursing school takes....

    Does anyone know of a good nursing school with an evening program in Atlanta?

    Annachu512 replied to MAnowRNsoon's topic in General Students

    I know that there is usually a waiting list and high standards for the nursing schools in the Atlanta area. I had a friend that got into Kennesaw State only because she had a 4.0 in her Science...

    Students who have the summer off: Do you study anything or brush up on past material?

    Annachu512 replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I have not done much of anything for this first month off but I will probably start looking through notes and start reading before too long. The last semester was really draining so I wanted to get...

    Which job should I pick as a new grad RN?!

    Annachu512 replied to copegirl21's topic in General Nursing

    It is certainly your decision but I myself would lean towards the cardiac ICU, especially if you wanted to consider being a flight nurse one day. They require a lot of critical care time to even go...

    nursing exams

    Annachu512 replied to LOLA184's topic in General Students

    Yeah I never change answers. If I'm unsure, I skip it and go back. A lot of the time, another question will clue me on on that past skipped question! After I go back to skipped answers, I check my...

    Ready to get back at it...

    Annachu512 posted a topic in General Students

    Been out of school for a month and just ready to get back at it. As I have posted before, I unfortunately I did not pass the last semester but I was allowed to repeat. It will majorly suck to watch...

    Ready to get back at it...

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    Sounds weird but school is my downtime. I'm a stay at home mom when I'm not in school. At school, I can have a brake from the home life (though I love having so much time with my two year old...

    Ready to get back at it...

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    Thank you! You have to have a positive attitude to survive nursing school. It's difficult but it's what I decided to do and I have to see it through. I ultimately want to be a midwife so I have a lot...

    Horrible Monday, lost job, extremely late to another job interview

    Annachu512 replied to sw1242's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sure you had such a rotten day but I have to agree with everyone. There was nothing wrong with interviewing for what might be a better opportunity but to schedule on the same day or at least that...

    Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    Annachu512 replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    I honestly buy older editions all the time. I honestly really cannot afford to be buying new books right now. Plus, there is nothing worse than buying that book and they decide to go with a different...

    I became a class of 2014 because I failed my last semester...so now I have a year left instead of one semester. But I know a lot of people who had to repeat this level so I'm taking it in stride. I...

    Annachu512 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is simple math but you just have to remember to keep all of your needed information straight. The way we do it at our school is that semester 2 your have to get a 90% 1st try, 3rd semester is 95%,...
