  1. Medical Missions for Nurses?????

    LiLev replied to jinjewl32's topic in General Nursing

    There is a volunteer forum on this board that may be of help if you read some of the older

  2. 9 Pre-reqs, 9 A's - BUT GPA real bad

    LiLev replied to Benj2610's topic in General Students

    Have you checked with your school from 18 years ago? Some States and/or Schools have an academic forgiveness for classes that were from that long ago, of course it can't be one of your required...

  3. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    LiLev replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think its about average, of my classmates willing to discuss their age we've found the youngest to be 26. I think it takes a bit of maturity to be a nurse and not many 20 year olds have it

  4. Is the first semester really the hardest?

    LiLev replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Hang in there; if your program is like mine you will never have that same instructor for clinicals again so it HAS to get better

  5. Did I just get thrown under the bus? Or I'm a bad nurse?

    LiLev replied to proudauntie415's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, as a nursing student I kind of thought we could count on the veteran nurses to help us through our freshman year because we do lack experience. Hope this is the exception and not the

  6. Block IV, are the odds against me?

    LiLev replied to dena.quaranta's topic in General Students

    Hang in there! Now you know what to expect on tests so you should do

  7. HELP with CARE PLAN by tomorrow!!

    LiLev replied to DSCCnsg14's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am new to care plans myself but my instructor would consider alcaholism a medical diagnosis. To find the etiology of the acute confusion think " what about alcoholism makes the patient confused?"...

  8. Help? What is the difference between a "A.S." and a "A.A.S" in nursing?

    LiLev replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In California AAS usually means that it is a "for profit" school and classes may not transfer to a state 4 year university so check it out first. For example, if you get your RN degree from Kaplan,...

  9. How many must make 80% or better on each exam?

    LiLev replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    Our school is 80% average on all tests, so if you do bad on 1 test you can make it up by doing well on the other

  10. Going Back To School For Nursing - Need Advice

    LiLev replied to GoingBackToSchool's topic in General Students

    There are some programs that give the grades in your per-requisite sciences (Micro, Anatomy, Physiology) the lions share or even all of the GPA consideration weight. As for the bachelor's degree...

  11. Graduation!!!

    LiLev replied to RoyalRN2B's topic in General Students

    congrats!

  12. I quit! :(

    LiLev replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    Hang in there! Think about it in semester chunks. You can handle anything for 16 weeks. You can do it, the more obstacles thrown at you the better it will feel when you overcome

    LiLev replied to Bouncyball's topic in General Students

    Thanks

  14. NEED INFO: ADN school not accredited yet, ADN-BSN schools that will accept still?

    LiLev replied to WhitneyLemke's topic in General Students

    I think if you do it online you will be able to find a school to accept you. Here where I live I think Kaplan students, for instance, can get accepted to the University of Phoenix but I don't have...

    LiLev replied to Bouncyball's topic in General Students

    Coco.nut, sounds like a good idea about the computer. How did you make a drug database? Like Access or just in a word document? I'm always looking for time management

  16. The rolling backpack debate

    LiLev replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    Get the rolling backpack. You only have 1 back and its got to last you the rest of your life. You'll probably get to use the new bag you got as well because the backpack probably won't hold...

  17. There is always one..

    LiLev replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    I think we're in the same

  18. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    LiLev replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    Not everybody is like that. Sure, there are some things you reserve for only the people closest to you, but you need to build a relationship with these people because you will be relying on each...

  19. Student Clickers?

    LiLev replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    We have them but the school owns them and just hands them out before class and picks them up after. We didn't pay anything for them and the school changes the batteries, too. Also, I got to a...

  20. Waiting list in CA

    LiLev replied to LVN needs help's topic in California Nursing

    I live in San Diego and I'm pretty sure its the same as L.A. in that all of the State Funded (meaning community college and CSU's) have done away with the waiting list. The new system is a point...

  21. 2012-2013 HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    LiLev replied to edrury0927's topic in General Students

    I applied and haven't heard anything yet either. There was an unknown inquiry on my credit report on July 17 but I'm not sure if it was them or not. It didn't say HRSA or US Goverment or anything,...

  22. Orientation(s)?

    LiLev replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    We had eight weeks of orientation, meeting one day a

  23. Need to work to afford RN program, advice appreciated

    LiLev replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    I am in a similar situation and my adviser told me "you can deal with anything for 16 weeks" which is the length of our semester. When she put it like that my anxiety went away because she was...

  24. Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

    LiLev replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm actually taking a pay reduction to be a nurse but it seems worth it to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile rather than just making money for its own

  25. I hate microbiology

    LiLev replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    LOL. That's what I was
