  1. How have you changed since starting school?

    I am not the same person that I was when I started nursing school. There are so many ways it has changed me. I see everyone around me in a different light. I consider the feelings and needs of...
  2. Older student/ New nursing student

    There are people of all ages in my program. No one seems to care about age, whatsoever. As to taking time to catch on, I find that everyone, even the "young" ones, have those moments. I have never met...
  3. Best path for second career

    ADN programs have nursing pre-reqs. They are mostly likely close to the same ones you would take for a BSN program, especially since you already have a BA. You can apply to both BSN and ADN programs...
  4. How soon to pursue RN to BSN transition?

    I think it's ok to take a break. I think I'm going to take a semester off. Not sure yet. I graduate in a few weeks and I am tired, lol. I'm probably going to go straight to MSN, as I have a BA...
  5. Is this a Scam?

    I second the suggestion above. Get the HESI comprehensive review book. With that, you will get practice questions you can do online. Study the HESI hints and do review of content you are shaky on. I...
  6. isn't it wonderful? Congrats on getting there and best wishes as you finish nursing school! I am graduating in 8 weeks, so I know that feeling. There is the amazement that it is almost time to...

  8. Professor tested us on the wrong topics

    I'm confused as to how complications are not on the syllabus for a nursing class that covers
  9. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    No. I got an A in A&P 1 & II and nursing school has not been a breeze for me. Having said that, I have done well in nursing school but I don't think it's related to how I did in pre-reqs...
  10. 30 stages of nursing school

    Aw, I love this! I'm at stage
  11. It will be worth it in the end.

    The ADN is not the "newer version" of the LPN. To the OP, I'm glad you are continuing on with your education. Keep
  12. I beg you to get help. Reach out to someone. The other posters have given you numbers to call. Please call and speak to someone who can help you get through what you are feeling right
  13. Puppy and nursing school?

    A puppy? Probably not a good idea. I adopted an adult dog just before nursing school started. He was already house broken and well through the puppy phase. I had to do some work with him due to...
  14. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    I'm sorry you are going through this. I can't tell you how many times I had to swallow my words, keep my goal in focus and push forward through a very difficult clinical day and instructor. It's not a...
  15. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    My last med-surge rotation was interesting in that my instructor was well known in the hospital. Because of that, nurses went to her with opportunities for the students. We got to do A LOT of things...

    Excellent! Keep it
  17. Why did you decide to become a nurse?

    I never wanted to be a nurse until I got sick and saw what a difference there is between a compassionate nurse and one who is cold and unfriendly. It made such a difference in my recovery. That made...
  18. Be Prepared

    This is very program specific. Not all programs have these rules or run this way, obviously. So you can't make a blanket
  19. OMG, is it only the second day of nursing school????

    I'm in my fifth semester and graduating in December. I barely remember my first day of nursing school. But I do remember that whole semester was me and a book as a constant companion. We had so many...
  20. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    I'm sorry this happened to you and I would most probably fight for those points, especially considering how many were lost. This makes me glad we take computerized tests at my school. We take our test...
  21. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    I love nurses like you. Thank you for giving a student that opportunity. Having said that, I would have had to step out as we were not allowed to do any invasive procedures without asking our...
  22. I am really trying to understand how you think this is ok to say or do. This post scares me. I hope you educate yourself and remove yourself from that position, whatever it is, if you are unable to...

    My school required us to get certified before beginning
  25. What's the deal with my nursing program?!?

    It was about the third semester in my program that they started to expect a lot more out of us. I remember thinking my teachers were so cold, as they didn't seem to care if we passed or failed. People...
