  1. Failed my 1st math proficiency test

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    Thanks....I think my instructors were actually sad for me. I have great instructors. Another thing I keep thinking about, I am the Vice Prez of our class, and I keep thinking how bad it would look...

  2. Failed my 1st math proficiency test

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    No, I don't think I need a tutor. I think I just need to be more careful. Don't get me wrong, I understand why these tests are so important. I understand that a misplaced decimal point IS a huge...

  3. Failed my 1st math proficiency test

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    Thanks for that advice, I'm sure it will come in useful. I'm going to sit down with the instructor and personally go over the problems I missed. I've been told that the test will be the same next...

    nadjjaa replied to daniele72's topic in General Nursing

    HUH???? Where do you work and can I apply online?? Serioulsy, 10K a month? What kind of nurse are

  5. Patches left in public

    nadjjaa replied to amgo24's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yikes, what if it was a Nitro patch??? Hello,

  6. Mom's in the hospital... (it's a little long)

    nadjjaa replied to nursejohio's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I don't think I'd say anything about the other pt because you may not have all of the facts, nor should you unless you are a nurse or student assigned to that pts care. I think it's good to...

  7. Failed my 1st math proficiency test

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    Actually, the scary part is that I didn't screw up on the dimensional analysis part, and I knew my equivalents....I was simple math errors (we can't use calculators), a misplaced decimal point and a...

  8. ER last night

    nadjjaa replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I thought the same thing until the end. He treated her the very same way years before in his class. Dropping a class is different from one's decision to die, but the principle was the same:...

  9. IM new!?!?!

    nadjjaa replied to Redstarr681's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not anywhere near you, but I would start by finding out, online, what schools are in your area. Search for community colleges, or technical schools, most of them offer a CNA course. Most...

  10. CNA before RN

    nadjjaa replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Students

    Working as a CNA will probably give a person a slight leg-up. But if you're a stressed-out nursing student, it won't transform you into a cool-headed one. Being a CNA before you were a nurse will...

  11. Stethoscope help

    nadjjaa posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm starting the nursing program in January and thinking of buying a good stethoscope.....but I don't know what to look for. The prices are all over the place. I don't mind spending a couple hundred...

  12. Stethoscope help

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the money now and could go for the more expensive scope...if that's the one I'm going to end up buying in the future I might as well get a good one so I don't have to buy another one after...

  13. Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    nadjjaa replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sure this has been said many times already but here goes. No way would I have a home birth. I guess that people opt for home births because they feel more comfortable and relaxed in the home...

  14. Anyone taking the TEAS?

    nadjjaa replied to NurCrystal22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure you get the study book that's provided by the people who administer the test. I only had to take the reading and math portions, but I was never concerned about the reading portion, just the...

  15. Medication Aide - good as pre-nursing class?

    nadjjaa posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just full of questions tonight... I was thinking of getting my Med Aide this fall (I start nursing school in the spring). Will this help me at all in nursing school? Or is it just a waste of...

  16. Medication Aide - good as pre-nursing class?

    nadjjaa replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    It's unlikely that I'll ever work as a Medication Aide if I get the cert. My question was, will the knowledge I receive (about medications, etc) in the classes help me at all in nursing

  17. How many times did you apply?

    nadjjaa replied to JessVanDyke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied once and was accepted. BUT from what I've heard, it's quite common to be put on a waiting list or rejected because it's hard to get in. My school doesn't have a waiting list, they take the...

  18. Weeding out of nursing students

    nadjjaa replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm pretty lucky at my school. Except for a few loony teachers, getting into the nursing program is pretty straight forward. 110 applied, 40 made it in, based off four major things - Whether...

  19. Did you live off of student loans while in school?

    nadjjaa replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    I used Sallie Mae. My tuition loans are through them, and they give you about 10 years to repay, starting 6 months after graduation. The loan I took out to pay for my living expenses they're giving...

  20. Did you live off of student loans while in school?

    nadjjaa replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    But if you can't pay as you go, then YES, live off loans. In my case, there was no way that I could afford to pay as I went through school and pay my bills. Debt and a desire to do SOMETHING with my...

    nadjjaa replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    PS....my best friend is $35/hour....swedish massage and stone therapy massage. If anyone is in the Lawrence, KS

  22. your first massage...what was it like?

    nadjjaa replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    My best friend is a massage therapist. At first it was kind of weird, having my best friend rub my butt (LOL) and stuff, but she's a professional and after a few minutes I didn't give a damn what she...

  23. Welcome to the new Nursing Student Assistance Forum

    nadjjaa replied to RNPATL's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, I was just wondering this....I am going to take the TEAS test in April and I'm absolutely freaking over it, because I am terrible with math. I mean, I can balance my checkbook and figure...
