  1. Did I make the right decision going for a ADN and then BSN?

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

    I chose to get my ADN first because it's so much cheaper. I will be debt free this way. As others have said, the "right" decision is different for everyone, depending on your particular circumstances...

  2. Giving away grades - unethical?

    Everline replied to bravera's topic in General Students

    When I was in my pre-reqs, I had professors who would give extra points for volunteer activities or for bringing canned goods to food drives. I thought it was a bit strange, as I had never encountered...

  3. Jealous that I have no life

    Everline replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    Honestly? My first thought when I read this was, "Suck it up, Buttercup." I don't understand these posts complaining about having no life. What was your expectation before you started nursing school?...

  4. How is having a dog during nursing school?

    Everline replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    I adopted a dog in February and started nursing school in May. He is five years old. I think it really depends on the breed and personality of the dog. I was worried about how he would do when I...

  5. Nursing is nothing like a hotdog

    Everline replied to Midwest Mark's topic in General Students

    Love

  6. Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

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

    I vote no. I just don't think its necessary, especially while taking A&P and Chem. I never took one and I haven't yet thought "Gee, sure wish I took a medical terminology class!" But then, if you...

  7. Nursing students and immaturity

    Everline replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    I find that ignoring it is the worse thing you can do, as they assume you are one they can act this way toward without any repercussions. You may in fact show in your face the discomfort, yet you do...

  8. Took NCLEX-RN on October 2nd, Got good Pop up & Passed with 75 questions. My advice.

    Everline replied to Chelle2013RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everline replied to seanynjboy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I love seeing good news! Congrats and best

  10. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Everline replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    44 years young.

  11. I regret forever not going to medical school

    Everline replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Get over yourself. Sorry, but this is rather pathetic. You made your own self feel low. Regrets like this are a waste of time. You aren't even 30 yet and you are talking like it's over for you. Please...

  12. Most difficult thing about nursing school?

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

    Let's see. I'm only in my second semester of nursing school and I'd list the following: *the emotional aspects of clinicals *the massive amount of information/reading that is given and needs to be...

  13. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    Everline replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    I have a MacBook pro and a kindle. My MacBook stays home and my kindle travels with me. I absolutely love them both. I prefer Mac (I have an iPhone and Apple tv, etc.) The Kindle was a gift. I never...

  14. Age of a late bloomer

    Everline replied to lilbrice25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 45 and in my second semester of nursing school. I can't help but smile when people in their 20s and 30s want to know if it is "too late" for them or if they are "too old". Um, no — unless you...

  15. Anyone doing well 1st semester?

    Everline replied to CeeCee82's topic in General Students

    I did very well in my first semester. But I studied a lot. I don't know how people can just wing it. I have to actually study. I'm in my second semester and so far so good. But I never get to a place...

  16. Would you miss a week of classes for a PRN tech orientation?

    Everline replied to futureofnursing's topic in General Students

    That's a tough one and really depends on your school's attendance policies and your ability to catch up with lecture or clinical learning that you will miss. At my school that would be very close to...

  17. Where do YOU sit in class?

    Everline replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I'm an A student. I have tried both sitting in the front and the back. It made no difference in my grades. But I prefer being in

  18. When do you usually finish your tests?

    Everline replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am never the first one out and never the last one out. Last semester, our instructor gave us tests where we couldn't go back to a question after answering it. At first that made me nervous, but I...

  19. Should i read any books to get a head-start for nursing school?!

    Everline replied to Marsha238612's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no "head start" for nursing school. Lol. Just kidding. Kind of. I suggest "getting a head start" only if your instructor gives you a list of chapters to read before the first day of class....

  20. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    Everline replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    My opinion? 35k a year? No, it's not worth it. Sorry, but that is outrageous! Once upon a time, I had student loan debt (no where near what you may end up with, though). I somehow managed to pay it...

  21. Something not to do on a job interview

    Everline replied to KelRN215's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My kid is not a Millenial either. She is part of what some are calling "iGen". It will be interesting to see how things go, collectively, for her

  22. Something not to do on a job interview

    Everline replied to KelRN215's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a Gen X-er. My parents never even helped me with my homework let alone go on interviews of any kind with me. I was a latch key kid from the age of 7 and left home at 18 to figure out life for...

  23. nursing school bullying

    Everline replied to greatestsummerever's topic in General Students

    He's ignoring you. Not saying it's nice the way he is acting, but unless there is some more to this situation, this is not bullying, IMO. It's actually the opposite of bullying as it was defined back...

  24. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    Everline replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    I would make the same choice. You will get your BSN either way. Go the least expensive

  25. e-textbooks

    Everline replied to khuber's topic in General Students

    I used to hate e-books. Nursing school changed my mind. I bought my books in a package set that had all the regular textbooks along with the digital versions. I thought I'd never touch the e-books,...
