  1. Failed at pre-nursing and pre OT. What to do now?

    windsurfer8 replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are you asking? Are you asking if you should be a nurse? I would say no. Your post is top ten most negative and depressing post on here. You have absolutely nothing positive you say about...

  2. do i have no hope?

    windsurfer8 replied to btf4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See...I like that post. You had a challenge and you made a decision to become an RN and figured out how to do it, instead of asking people to feel sorry for you. Instant gratification is not...

  3. I failed a prereq

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

    If you are going to quit nursing due to one failed test then you should for SURE quit. If one obstacle makes you quit then you are in the wrong career field. A person who truly wants something uses...

  4. do i have no hope?

    windsurfer8 replied to btf4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should do whatever you want to do. You can certainly give up and we all have the right to do whatever we want. I am not sure what you are asking for? Are you looking for people to pat you on the...

  5. is nursing really worth the debt

    windsurfer8 replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have "run into many nurses" who are not bright? How did you prove this theory? What do you base "bright" on? Are you arguing schools should lower their admission standards? You seem to be...

  6. private school or wait another year?

    windsurfer8 replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    You want to "get the BSN out of the way" so you can move on. Slow down there speedy. You need to take one step at a time. No matter how much you want something you have to accomplish what you can...

  7. Should I be a nurse?

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

    who are "a lot" of nurses? here is the deal...it doesn't matter if the prereqs are basket weaving. They are required and are not going to magically disappear. And guess what..doing work that you...

  8. Should I be a nurse?

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

    Varonte..here is my question. Why would being a nurse be dependent on prereqs? You need to KNOW it to BE a nurse. If you don't want to even do the prereqs then what interest do you have in being a...

  9. Objective Opnion: Nursing? Yes/No

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

    You have good grades. You could do an ABSN program. Why are you going to take CNA courses? If you have decided to be a nurse the quicker you get to it the quicker you are done. I would start...

  10. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    windsurfer8 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    You are surprised by the "negative" responses. What makes a response "negative"? Saying it is wrong to knit in class? If someone asks if it is appropriate in a professional class setting to "knit"...

  11. Should I be a nurse?

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

    You need to either quit or study more or change the way you study. Bad grades are unacceptable to get into nursing school. Period. You either find a way to succeed or you don't. No one is going to...

  12. ABSN with no medical experience?

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

    That is kind of the point of the ABSN programs. I did mine in 2006 and my previous bachelors was business. It is the coursework that is the key to ABSN. I had 21 hours a semester. I spent 90% of...

  13. Concerned about our curriculum

    windsurfer8 replied to cantwaittograduate1's topic in General Students

    First stop blaming your instructors. It will accomplish NOTHING. You need to be clear with understanding what they require for you to get an A. Nothing more and nothing less. In nursing school you...

  14. So I have a few questions about my GPA.

    windsurfer8 replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    First you should be happy your mom actually cares. Most parents these days could care less about what their kids do. Second she had a 4.0..you may want to listen to her. Lastly...you studied 5...

  15. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    windsurfer8 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Ready2baRN. You say "they should be used as a source of information and guidance for the students and not for the instructor to just stand in front of class and read off it for 3-4 hours". Ok?...

  16. Which classes should I take, and will I make it?

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

    "difficult" is a subjective term and cannot be answered. What you consider "difficult" may be totally different than what I consider difficult. How do you define the term? By the amount of study...

  17. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    windsurfer8 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Right..you don't care what others think of you...so that means everyone should be just like you. Hey..lets just get rid of all professionalism. Why not just do handstands in...

  18. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    windsurfer8 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    If you don't like spending the money then stop spending the money. Powerpoints work to get across information. This isn't a philosophy degree you are trying to earn. There is a lot of information...

  19. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    windsurfer8 replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    First if you become a nurse don't call yourself a "male nurse". It makes you sound stupid and ignorant. It is a very serious profession and not a joke. You would be a nurse. I have been a nurse...

  20. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    windsurfer8 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Are you going to knit when a doctor is giving you orders? If this is a serious post and not a troll then you need to go get counseling on how to grow up and act like a professional. When you are...

  21. failing english 101

    windsurfer8 replied to reka2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It makes no difference if it is "the teacher". You are responsible to earn the grade. If you become a nurse you will work with doctors who are very difficult and hard to deal with. Oh well..you...

  22. 2.5 gpa hello will i get into nursing school

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

    It doesn't help that your post is almost impossible to understand let alone read. There are consequences to bad grades. You can find a job in a service field or something which does not require high...

  23. Should I go to nursing school

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

    Should you go to nursing school? Well if you want to be a nurse that is how it is done. If you don't want to be a nurse then I would say maybe there are better majors out there. Or jobs. Like marine...

  24. I feel so stressed! Any words of support?

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

    Words of support? GO

  25. Did I take the bait (for profit school)?

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

    Ok..so every check your husband gets is from the taxpayers. Should you have to account for every purchase you make to make sure you are not "wasting" it? You get socialized 100% free health care...
