  1. Is chemistry hard?

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

    Only experience I have with Chemistry is highschool Chemistry, which was eons ago. I'm very thankful my nursing program does not require it, but it is required for my

  2. Any one else applying right now

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

    I got my acceptance letter a year in advance, Fall 2011. I'll be starting nursing clinicals this Fall 2012. Good luck

  3. Retaking course

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

    Retake it. A 'D' doesn't look good on a transcript or nursing school

  4. Has anyone taken these classes in Summer?

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

    I have taken A&P II and Microbiology together, but it was a 16 week semester instead of 8. It is doable, challenging but doable. I can't imagine what it would be like with only 8 weeks with these...

  5. What is the best course of action?

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

    CNA, nurse tech, phlebotomist. Doing this part-time or prn will be a good option since nursing students already have their hands full with loads of

  6. Will I regret Nursing too???

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to mpink74's topic in General Students

    First of all, I just want to say that no profession is perfect. One is not going to like everything about one's job or duties, whatever career that might be. You're going to have good days and bad...

  7. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your definition of "stupid". From reading your post, I take "stupid" as a self-esteem issue. If your goal is to become an overachiever as far as grades are concerned than that is...

  8. Should I get my LPN license while im in nursing school?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to countrychic01's topic in General Students

    Honestly, like the others above have said. I wouldn't bother with LPN school if you're currently in an RN program right now. It would be a waste of time and money. You have your CNA, so I would work...

  9. I am a Nurse

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to farawi03's topic in General Students

    Thank you for sharing.

  10. Moving to a new city without having any job prospect?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to climb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe stating your current situation on your cover letter may help some too. Let them know what you are planning to do and be honest about it. Try and find out who the HR or Nurse managers are in the...

  11. Why did you want to become a nurse/ My Story/Rant

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to jasonc1254's topic in General Students

    Self-doubt and negative self-talk is a nursing school career killer to those that believe in it. I say you need to do what makes you happy. Do what is best for you first and foremost. You need to...

  12. How Do I Toughen Up At Work? Part 1

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

  13. I'm waiting

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to pinkmittens03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck everyone. Keep your chin up.

  14. Swearing: hugely unprofessional, mildly irritating or a normal part of speech.

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

    It is one thing to drop an F-bomb now and then, but to use it all the time is another thing. I personally would not be swearing in front of

  15. wearing makeup to work?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, heck yeah...are you kidding me? Most definitely I will wear makeup to school and on the job. I'm one of those types of women who "need" makeup to look presentable, and thats putting it nicely....

  16. Doing my funky dance!!!

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

    Congrats!

  17. Feeling completely overwhelmed by first days of Nursing School, please help

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

    @ jasmin_sunset i'd buy an nclex book, if you haven't one already. look over the information in relation to what you are studying and break it down, also practice the questions. you can also purchase...

  18. has this happend to you?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to BigMama3's topic in General Students

    @ dawn fitz its a grade. not an evaluation of yourself or your nursing abilities, try to see it that way. i'd accept it and move on.

  19. So I guess it is true...

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

    @ theprincessbride you're a student for pete's sake! if you're going to make mistakes in school, this would be the time to do it. doesn't your instructor get this?? it is really hypocritical to me....

  20. Going back to nursing school

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to tas026's topic in General Students

    I'd find something else. You left for a reason. And, the fact that you aren't upset about leaving nursing school, but are actually relieved, says alot. Just my two

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

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Superdude87's topic in General Students

    Three weeks in and you feel this way?? I'd say its too early to make such a decision about leaving with only being in nursing school for three weeks. Honestly, you need to do what is right for you....

  22. Considering CNA while in RN school...

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

    Sounds like a plan. :) I would check and see if you need to have that CNA license at all. You may be able to just work as a nurse tech at your hospital while attending school. Which is pretty much...

  23. Should I have a baby now or in a few years

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

    You'll need to decide what is more important to you, at the right time. If you have a great support system and can manage school and a family well at the same time, go for it. You could always plan...

  24. Help me figure out a study technique!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to lindsayk728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do what works for YOU. I personally do not like flash cards. Blatantly memorizing info just for the sake of memorizing it, will not help. One needs to understand the material and know it, to really...

  25. Should I take physics in highschool or no? why or why not

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It wouldn't hurt. Is it necessary, probably not. Your prereqs, whatever they may be will be more beneficial to you than accessory science
