  1. Nursing Student (R.N. Program) but Interested in being a CNA for a Summer Job

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to rmkieft's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Umm..none of the above. I would simply just find a job at a local hospital as a nurse tech. Sheesh, there are so many names for these titles but my understanding leads me to believe they are all...

  2. Feeling sub-par...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above replies. Honestly, you do not need to share anything with them that you don't feel comfortable sharing with them. Its none of their business. If they ask about this or that, a...

  3. Did I catch this guy in a lie?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    Much has been said here, and all I have to say on this is you are worrying about the wrong person. Almost disturbing how one can be so hung up on whether your "friend" is in nursing school or not....

  4. How many hours of sleep do you require

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ICAN!'s topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I feel like nothing if I don't get adequate sleep. My whole day sometimes can be a blur. If I am pressed for time, I can get by with fewer hours of sleep but by no means can I do that consistently....

  5. I'm having nightmares about Med-Surg 1

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    No. An A on a test is not going to help your case. All that shows is that you are a good student and know how to study. If your Med-Surg I is anything like my future Med-Surg I, you'll be applying...

  6. How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Or, out of sight out of mind. If he indeed truly loves you, he stick by your side and be

  7. Turning in my two weeks notice today!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would have a job lined up to take the place of the one that I'd be leaving. Try and find something before you leave your current job. I find that it is much easier finding another job...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to indbletrble's topic in General Nursing

  9. Searching 4 Accredited School

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Seon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. I failed.

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to hello sammi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Brush it off and move on. :) Its hard to swallow Cs and Ds, but its only one grade. You'll get plenty more chances to bring the grade

  11. Would they really???

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to mmc51264's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry this had to happen to you, especially in the last semester? It sounds fishy to me. Why would a school want to fail so many students? My guess, its not intentional but like you said, a new...

  12. Working in Nursing School

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to SHAMBRALAM's topic in General Students

    I agree. Nurse tech, CNA, patient care tech, phlebotomy all good things. Doesn't always need to be in a hospital although that is the preferred route. Find an employer who is willing to work with...

  13. I absolutely HATE it!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Manepride's topic in General Students

    Taught by other students? No. I can understand peer mentoring, but not instruction in the sense that a student would replace an instructor. Just be yourself. If they can't accept you for you, then...

  14. as a prenursing student, do video games and studying mix or bad idea?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    Dude, you need to get your priorities straightened out. Do you want to continue playing the games and not amounting to much or doing much, or cut the games out and work hard and pass the pre-reqs and...

  15. Didn't like being a CNA, but 1st semester RN student.

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ShaynaSmart's topic in General Students

    LISTEN TO ME, please. :) Only YOU will decide if nursing is right for you or not, it is not your instructors decision to decide that for you. To me it sounds like she was trying to intimidate some...

  16. Feeling useless/unsure in clinical/sim lab

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to skulskcc01's topic in General Students

    Start talking. Just do it. Ask simple questions and don't feel bad about doing it. The more you initiate in speaking the more comfortable you will become. Sometimes we just need that little push...

  17. Should I take Pathophysiology online?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Lola34's topic in General Students

    Nope. Then again, pathophysiology is incorporated into my nursing program while in nursing school. I don't have the option to take it separately or

  18. New Mom + Pre Nursing Advice!!!PLS!!!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    Personally, I'd focus on what is needed to get into a program. Get your pre-reqs out of the way asap, and then start applying to nursing school. There is nothing wrong in taking two science courses...

  19. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    If I have the option, I'll definitely take advantage of ebooks for while I'm at school and actual textbooks for at home. My nursing school campus has a lot of stairs, lots! I'll do anything to save...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    I think you've answered your own questions. :) You can always purchase extra books on test-taking skills and critical thinking skills. Of course, get an NCLEX review book(s). But, I think with NCLEX...

  24. Should I continue my nursing training?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to angel2012's topic in General Students

    I'd imagine this would be something you'd need to discuss with your school. At my school attendance is mandatory and without a doctor's note an absence will not be dismissed and will be counted...
