  1. Lancaster General School of Nursing

    tas026 replied to tootsie2184's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I currently attend. It is a good school, but can be challenging (as expected). The only problem I have is with some of the administration (not instructors). In recent years, the school has been...

  2. Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

    tas026 replied to SuburbanGypsy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I may be wrong, but I've heard that a lot of masters degree programs require that you have experience in the field. Again, that's just what I saw when I was doing my research. I've also heard that...

  3. Just a few weeks into first semester of nursing school and having second thoughts.

    tas026 replied to Superdude87's topic in General Students

    I would stick with it, at least for now! I don't know about your school, but my school wouldn't give out any refund for classes at this point, so it would be pointless to drop it. Use the rest of the...

  4. Overwhelmed Student....

    tas026 replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are not in a room full of A's! Trust me. There are probably so many other students out there in your boat or even worse off. There were a lot of PCA's in my class during 1st semester, and they...

  5. Should I forget Associates and go straight to BSN

    tas026 replied to Nursing 2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also suggest you do BSN u less it is really important that you work as a nurse for those last two years. I am currently ADN and I am just out of high school. I applied to college before a lot...

  6. RRT student starting my first rotation next week

    tas026 replied to Pa02's topic in General Students

    Hello! I'm in nursing school, so I don't know what to expect exactly with respiratory, but I can tell you a bit about clinicals in general. Come prepared the best you can. Research anything you don't...

  7. New to forum and need some advice :)

    tas026 replied to sweettooth012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is a great career, but I honestly wouldn't refer to it as flexible. Especially if you plan on working in a hospital setting (which I see you do). Even though many jobs allow you to work three...

  8. what nursing schools do you suggest?

    tas026 replied to purple23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New York University has a great

  9. Ongoing debate....what should i do chem and a&p 1 in summer

    tas026 replied to AshLPN2RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they are 5 week classes, I would suggest you hold back on taking sciences during the summer. I don't know how it is for your school, but at my school the 5 week A&P and chem classes are set up...

  10. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    tas026 replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be worried about your age! I am just finishing my first semester, and I'm right out of high school. There are more people in my class that have taken at least 1 year off of school or more than...

  11. Adult Med/Surg ATI test -- advice? Did you pass?

    tas026 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how people actually studied for this! In my school, we had to take 2 practice tests before we took the proctored exam. On the first practice test, I got a 50%. On the 2nd one, I got a...

  12. why is med/surg so difficult?

    tas026 replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Med-surg is our first semester, and honestly...I find it sort of easy. I don't know how it is at other schools, but I've heard our 3rd semester is the hardest. In that semester we do ER, OR, and...

  13. Attendance policy at your school

    tas026 replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    My school takes attendance, but they don't hold it against you. They only take attendance so that when someone comes in and says, "I don't know why I'm failing, I try so hard!" and they check the...

  14. Accepted to 2 year nursing school and pregnant

    tas026 replied to junebugger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend doing the nursing classes, working 20 hours a week, and taking care of 3 children (one with disabilities). I am a firm believer in the phrase, "If there's a will, there's a way." If...

  15. Saw adviser today!

    tas026 replied to MissyBee4983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! Study hard, and don't fill your plate up too much! That's really hard. I know my local community college takes 68. My school has probably 200 in each semester. I hope you get in as quickly...

  16. 2.0 Science gpa (anat, physio and micro) but 3.3 gpa overall

    tas026 replied to HopelesswanbeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried looking into nursing schools that aren't junior colleges? I go to a 2 year nursing school, and I have a friend who went to JC for 2 years and got a 4.0 GPA. The school was so...

  17. Nursing with cancer

    tas026 replied to Faith2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm glad to hear you are okay! I go to school in Lancaster General. I'm getting my associates and then doing my bachelors while working. Right now my school has the ADN and ADN to BSN, but they...

  18. Nursing with cancer

    tas026 replied to Faith2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be able to attend clinicals you have to have your doctor perform a physical exam on you. If you are not in remission from cancer, you probably will not pass the exam. My best friend had cancer and...
