  1. Were you guys allowed the use of a calculator when you took your dosage test?

    Everline replied to Wannabe_Doc's topic in General Students

    Yes. Our instructor supplied us with a simple calculator to

  2. Well there goes the neighborhood...

    Everline replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how the BSN is cheapened by the community college offering it. --Unless by cheap you just mean it costs less. I am imagining that the education would be rather like many other colleges...

  3. I feel like a loner sometimes.

    Everline replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I am an extreme introvert. I am much older than you but I have been an introvert all my life. The only difference between now and when I was your age is back then, I worried about it or tried to put...

  4. How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    Everline replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I will share with anyone who asks me, also. I don't have time to decide who supposedly deserves it or not. I am very thankful to the people who freely shared valuable resources with me without judging...

  5. I've been so busy with school that my dog forgot who I am.

    Everline replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    :-) My dog, a miniature poodle, stays under my desk while I study, too. I actually put one of his beds under there. He is the sweetest. He really helped me get through my first semester of nursing...

  6. Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    Everline replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    Last semester (my first semester), all the patients were fine with having student nurses there. I don't think there were any exceptions to that. Now, some were tired and wanted to be left alone but...

  7. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Everline replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I am only going into my second semester of nursing school and am open to pretty much everything. I think I would really love working in a clinic that offers healthcare to the underserved, particularly...

  8. First Semester Finished

    Everline replied to NursingN.C's topic in General Students

    I am at the end of my first semester, too. Starting in the summer session proved to be quite hectic, but I made it out alive. :-) 1 semester down and 4 to go for me too. I'm in an ADN program and we...

  9. How much are you paying...

    Everline replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    My tuition for next semester is about $960. I bought all my books for the whole program at the beginning of my first semester. So I have no book expenses now. I am at a state

  10. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    Everline replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    What you want to do after nursing school is pretty much irrelevant to your nursing school experience. At least that is how I have found it in my first semester. No one at the clinical site (or in...

  11. Job shortage just for ADN or BSN as well?!

    Everline replied to Tally4970's topic in General Students

    Again, depends on the location. All the hospitals around where I live are hiring ADNs. But, from this forum, I know that is not the case everywhere and in those places you are obviously better off...

  12. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    Everline replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    Over all, my classmates are friendly and helpful. I appreciate them a lot, even though I am a bit of a loner, by choice. There are a few meanies. But I expect that in just about every situation. Some...

  13. "W" on transcript

    Everline replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine never went off my transcript, but they do not affect my

  14. Tablet for note taking?

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

    I use a kindle fire HD with a logitech bluetooth keyboard to type notes in class. It took trying a few apps to find which one I liked best, but after that, it's been great. I can email my notes to...

  15. First Semester Clinicals

    Everline replied to rocababy119's topic in General Students

    I am starting nursing school this summer—in one week, actually. I got my schedule for clinicals and they will be in a hospital. My school has clinical rotations at three area hospitals. I'm sure we...

  16. Number of schools

    Everline replied to patty89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not apply to all eight if you can? Having said that, I applied to one.

  17. Rent vs Buy

    Everline replied to lcraig0011's topic in General Students

    I have to second the idea of having to rent them again. Some books are used for more than one semester. Make sure you know which ones those are so you don't end up renting for more than it would have...

  18. How long did you wait

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

    I waited for one year. It flew by because I was taking classes. I expected to wait one more semester, but I got a seat early. :-) If you are waiting for a ADN program and don't have your BA or all...

  19. Klonopin ?

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

    I had a similar situation where my doctor had given me a prescription for Ativan, which is also a benzo. It was for insomnia. I would take .5 mg before bed when I was going through a period of...

  20. All CSU will soon require same pre-requisites

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

    I don't live in California but this seems really

  21. So excited to move to this board...just got accepted for Fall 2013!

    Everline replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I start in about...yikes...two weeks and I am also thrilled! Good luck to you and have a great summer before all the fun of nursing school begins for

  22. What was your GPA when you got accepted?

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

    pre-reqs = 4.0, overall = 3.83 (I have a previous

  23. Will these grades get me in the ADN program or not?

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

    Why not apply and give it a try? You have nothing to lose, right? You can always take a class or two again if you don't get in. Some colleges are very competitive and others are less so. Find out...

  24. What did the physical for our nursing program require?

    Everline replied to brookedavis20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was a regular physical. My family doctor doesn't do pap smears and I was not required to go to a gynecologist. I have never heard of a nursing school requiring gynecological exams. But as an...

  25. So sick of A&P

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

    I had a great A&P teacher. Yes, I had to study and memorize stuff. But I never felt like it was just a class to weed people out. My teacher was extremely helpful to those who put the effort in....
