  2. Frustrated EN student

    windsurfer8 replied to djkaytee's topic in General Students

    Ask people on the ward for tips. Yes you are "expected" to be able to manage your time. Maybe you won't be able to cope..who knows. More than likely when you have to stay 2 hours late to complete...

    windsurfer8 replied to cherilyn05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    windsurfer8 replied to al-sheikhh's topic in General Students

    "Many people are telling me"??? What people? Unless for some reason your school requires you to be a CNA then there is no need. I was never a CNA and had a job lined up before I

  5. Horrible Clinical Experience

    windsurfer8 replied to emstobsn2017's topic in General Students

    "residents sit in their feces". EVERY resident? You have evidence to support this? "suppose to have 4 CNA". You have evidence of this nurse/patient ratio? Where did you get this evidence? "Nurses...

  6. Low Gpa, help what should i do?

    windsurfer8 replied to Winterr23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Difficulty of nursing school?

    windsurfer8 replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    You are speaking in non defined terms. "easy" "hard"" ..subjective words. Forget all that...do you want to be a nurse? . If it is "yes" then if classes are "hard" or "easy" does not matter. You...

  8. Lifespan Psych - an observation

    windsurfer8 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Meaningless class"? Much of what you "learn" in class isn't the material. You learn effective study habits. You learn time management. You learn how to complete assignments (like a doctors order)...

    windsurfer8 replied to nanyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The best part is OP is asking people who may or may not even be nurses to complete the homework. On this site...CNAs, LPNs, RNs, NPs, Nursing students, and probably some lawn care experts. Here is...

  13. Nursing Student to EMT

    windsurfer8 replied to anonjmous.78's topic in General Students

    Quitting things often develops a pattern of quitting. You would be smart to FINISH nursing school. Then you build upon success. Just because you graduate nursing school does not mean you have to...

  14. 34 yr old starting out...help

    windsurfer8 replied to katylady22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Nursing student in East Tennessee

    windsurfer8 replied to Zachtaylor1221's topic in General Students

    What do you mean "too supersaturated"? You mean no jobs available or what exactly? I have been a nurse 10 years. 2 years med/surg and 8 psych. Those initial 2 years med/surg have been invaluable...

  16. Radiology or Sonograpy then ABSN?

    windsurfer8 replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in General Students

    "If I BSN in radiology or sonography". huh? How do you "know" ABSN is "not a competitive" compared to BSN. The "A" means accelerated and you take the exact same classes. It is basically you are...

  17. Certified background check drug test

    windsurfer8 replied to ipac's topic in General Students

    You "might have smoked pot"? Either you did or you didn't. "Helpful information" is not always nice. Stop smoking weed. If you make a mistake when nursing they can order a UA on the spot and if...

  19. So I kind of messed up

    windsurfer8 replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Then why would they test for it if it doesn't matter. If they test for it and you pop hot you better have a prescription. Your mom "suggested" you take Ativan? Is she an MD? Did she prescribe this?...

  20. Just Squeaking By

    windsurfer8 replied to JoJoGirl's topic in General Students

    The reason you are "in this situation" is your own making. Only you can get yourself out. If you become a nurse are your patients going to receive C level care? Apparently you want this to be your...

    windsurfer8 replied to browtif2's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My problem is the wording of the original message. What are you asking? "Do they provide different care is there knowledge base less?" Define "different care". "knowledge base less?" Knowledge of...

  22. How is nursing school?

    windsurfer8 replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What difference does it make if it is "hard" or "easy"? If you truly want to be a nurse then the amount of work required to earn a BSN and become eligible to take the NCLEX does not matter. You...
