  1. I did it! (Graduated!)

    Everline replied to Levitas's topic in General Students

    How wonderful! Congrats and best wishes to

  2. Going crazy

    Everline replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do what's best for you. That is my advice. A long time ago, I took out student loans and was saddled with payments that I had a hard time making. I finally paid them off and was determined never to...

  3. anyone in five semester nursing program??

    Everline replied to sweetiepie92's topic in General Students

    My ADN program is a five semester program (after pre-reqs/gen ed classes are completed). Our fifth semester is preceptorship. There is no shorter option, unless you are bridging. If they reduced it to...

  4. I'm tired.

    Everline replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Two more clinical days and about three weeks of classes, exams and sim labs left. Yup. I'm tired. Next semester will be my third semester out of five. These days, I leave clinical and want to go home,...

  5. I want to become a nurse but my gpa is low

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

    I don't understand these kinds of questions. If you are having a hard time passing pre-reqs, why is it you think you would be successful in nursing school? With a GPA of 2.4 (ish), your academic...

  6. Sorry, but no..:

    Everline replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Years ago I used to work for a social service organization that did not want you to use "patient" or "client", no matter if you were one of the many nurses that worked there. You couldn't even use the...

  7. How long were your pre-reqs?

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

    The ADN program I attend requires 24 credits of pre-reqs, seven of which you can do as co-reqs. But who wants to do that? I have a previous degree, so some of mine were done. (I was so happy that I...

  8. First semester nursing student - Mixed feelings after practicum

    Everline replied to Burno's topic in General Students

    I had an LTC experience similar to yours. It's okay not to like every clinical placement. It's all part of learning about yourself and what might or might not be a good fit for you. You will move on...

  9. Anyone doing well?

    Everline replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    I'm doing very well and grateful for it. I have an extremely supportive and encouraging husband and a daughter who leaves me sweet notes that I get when I come home from school. Plus she gives me good...

  10. Scared I'm one of those students.

    Everline replied to hopeful2015's topic in General Students

    I felt the same way my first semester. I can really relate. I currently have a few weeks left in my second semester and I can tell you, things get better. That is not to say that it is easy or that I...

  11. One thing

    Everline replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    I love how everyone helps each other out in school and in clinicals. I love that, although there are some difficult aspects, there are also really great learning experiences and times when instructors...

  12. I Feel Done

    Everline replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    Nursing school definitely has its challenges. But there are some wonderful times, too. I hope you begin to experience more of the good times (the ones that make you feel confident and hopeful). I try...

  13. Are these true or false rumors about LPN

    Everline replied to mcclot1993's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Last time I went to the doctor, a woman I thought was a nurse gave me an injection, irrigated one of my ears and told me she gives meds. It was only later that I found out she was a medical assistant....

  14. BP cuff not required?!

    Everline replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    We also did not have to purchase a BP cuff. I bought one for practice on myself and friends before my first semester practicum. I have never used it otherwise, not in the lab, during simulation or at...

  15. Feeling lost, a little advice please!

    Everline replied to dslothour's topic in General Students

    I'm also in my second semester of nursing school and often feel unsure, too. In clinicals, I get pretty nervous but this semester seems a bit better than last. Sometimes I think about preceptorship...

  16. Do my last semester of pre-reqs matter since I'll get a decision after the fact?

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

    Yes, for many colleges and universities, admission offers are contingent on final grades. Sometimes it even says that in acceptance letters. The best thing you can do is find out if that is the case...

  17. Muslim nursing students

    Everline replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    This is the reality in some places, unfortunately. It's easy to talk about legalities and such. But when it comes down to it, hijab is not going to go over well at all in some places. Sad really. I...

  18. nurse told me prereqs are the hardest part

    Everline replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hard to compare them. They both have their difficulties, just in different ways. I find nursing school to be much more stressful than pre-reqs. But they are both

  19. Loneliness in nursing school

    Everline replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I feel for you and I am so sorry you are going through this rough time. I wish I had some particular advice to give. All I can say is hang in there. Just wanted to send a virtual

  20. Muslim nursing students

    Everline replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    How many problems you will or will not have is highly dependent on the area in which you will be a nursing student and eventually a

  21. Macbook Pro + BSN Program?

    Everline replied to jottmers1's topic in General Students

    I have a MacBook Pro and have no problems with compatibility in my nursing program. I know people like the Air, but I had some CDs I wanted to use, so the MacBook Pro was perfect. I'm loving the...

  22. Amazing Sim Lab

    Everline replied to Esme12's topic in General Students

    Yes they do, thank goodness. They try to emphasize that simulation lab is the place to NOT be afraid of making mistakes. But it's very humbling, that's for

  23. What is general skills lab etiquette?

    Everline replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    If there is anything I've learned so far in nursing school it is to not jump ahead of myself. I concentrate on what they are giving me at any particular time and I try to be as good at it as I can be...

  24. Amazing Sim Lab

    Everline replied to Esme12's topic in General Students

    ]I think we have about 13 or 14 simulators representing different age groups and situations. We also have one that has amazing and very realistic heart and lung sounds. I always leave simulation lab...

  25. 3 Science classes, will it be too much?

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

    I took my science classes one at a time. I have no doubt I could have pulled off taking some of them together because I don't work outside of the home. I just plain didn't want to put myself through...
