  1. Get your BSN or "Get Out"

    Everline replied to APRN.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems extremely silly. But yes, they can do that. And ten years is good notice. It still strikes me as extremely

  2. "Many of your classmates will not be nurses"

    Everline replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Students

    Number 4. That is

  3. Just started nursing school- are instructors playing a mental game with us?

    Everline replied to Caitlin23's topic in General Students

    This is a question you will most likely ask yourself many, many times during your journey to graduation, without ever being able to come to a definite answer. Enjoy nursing

  4. Anxiety and doubt

    Everline replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    It's totally normal. I am in my third semester and I certainly have my moments and so do my classmates. I've had to learn to talk back to myself. For instance, instead of reminding myself that so many...

  5. Grade Anxiety

    Everline replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I can actually relate. I really understand where you are coming from because I have a similar outlook. And IMO, grade anxiety, especially regarding getting into grad school, is much different than...

  6. What do you do when you want to quit?

    Everline replied to Nuked's topic in General Students

    I certainly have had moments when I wondered why in the world I got myself into this thing called nursing school. At this point I just have way too much invested and gone through too much to quit....

  7. Hospital life and non clinical careers

    Everline replied to Flstudent2014's topic in General Students

    I'm curious...what did you imagine it would be like in the hospital before you started nursing school? What did you think patient care involved? You seem rather shaken. If you don't need the job and...

  8. Buying VS. making drug cards; need advice

    Everline replied to Burno's topic in General Students

    Whatever works best for you. Find out what that is and do it. There is only so much time in a

  9. Is there really a huge amount of horizontal violence(bullying) in the profession

    Everline replied to dulcet's topic in General Students

    I haven't experienced any bullying in nursing school. As concerns undesirable experiences (because I have had very good experiences, too), I have encountered disorganization, incompetence and some...

  10. Sim Chart

    Everline replied to mytwoboysmom's topic in General Students

    Meh. It's ok. Not my favorite thing in the world, but I'd most likely feel the same way about any other "student EHR", too. My sentiments pretty much mirror what Blue Felt Fedora said: "It is what it...

  11. How long do you study each day?

    Everline replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I'm really not sure. I don't keep track. It's at least 3 to 4 hours a day, every day. Usually more. It depends on if I had hours of lecture or clinical that day. If it's a day off, I usually use it as...

  12. What was/are the 3 things that got/get you through nursing school?

    Everline replied to crushlush's topic in General Students

    1. Having a visible check-off for each week that goes by. I usually have a card that I tape to my wall that simply has a number countdown "week: 16 15 14...". I cross off the numbers as the weeks roll...

  13. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Everline replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    Yes, I think you can rest easy on this one. I have never seen or touched my classmates' genitals, nor have they seen or touched mine. We have to insert catheters and do peri-care on actual patients...

  14. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Everline replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    Um, no we didn't examine each other's genitals. We used mannequins to learn peri care, catheter insertion and etc. I don't think you have to worry about

  15. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    Everline replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    It's shocking to me when I read about people coming out of school with a debt like that. I live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house that cost around that much! You should be concerned, IMO. I had a student...

  16. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    Everline replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a MacBook Pro. I had a computer without a CD drive before (in my first semester of nursing school) and it was a problem for me. If you don't care, though, I'm sure the Air will suit you just...

  17. Did you keep all PAPER notes?

    Everline replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    I've kept some stuff, tossed some other stuff. But when I'm done with school at the end of the year, I'm tossing it all out. In fact, if I was going into my last semester (preceptorship), I'd probably...

  18. Offering money to switch clinical sites? Ethical?

    Everline replied to chewychipsahoy's topic in General Students

    What in the world? I cannot figure out why you would make an ethics issue out of such a thing. Are you upset about your own clinical assignment and mad that someone else has money to switch theirs? I...

  19. What are you doing during the break?

    Everline replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I am loving my vacation. I've been relaxing, but also studying for next semester at a leisurely pace. I'm doing NCLEX review questions each day—at least 50, and reading content reviews for topics...

  20. Prejudice in Nursing

    Everline replied to registerednurse3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know exactly what you are talking about, OP. All we can do is press forward the best we

  21. Should I retake Anatomy?

    Everline replied to MFarina87's topic in General Students

    No way I would repeat that course under those circumstances. It's not necessary,

  22. Kno vs VitalSource E-book

    Everline replied to ltran's topic in General Students

    I use vital source. It has its occasionally glitches, but overall has been a great

  23. Does anyone else's school do this??

    Everline replied to Mom2ballerinas's topic in General Students

    I always know my grade before it is posted because we do computerized tests that give scores and rationales immediately. It's still nice to see them posted, though. Sorry you have to

  24. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    Everline replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    This definitely seems like an RN-BSN online program. If so, this person more than likely already passed the NCLEX. I personally wouldn't do something like this because I want to feel good about my...

  25. BSN vs ASN

    Everline replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    In some places, there is hardly any difference between the two these days. Some of the ADN programs look eerily similar to the BSN programs, with just a few classes difference in terms of nursing...
