  1. 2.52 cumulative GPA, and I already have a BS. Can I get into nursing school

    Griffin123 replied to jwhn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with the individual school. Bring your transcripts and speak with an admissions adviser. Many schools only look at the last 60 or so credit hours. You can check with the traditional 4 year...

  2. Is it possible to work during an ABSN program?

    Griffin123 replied to INN_777's topic in General Students

    I would say no. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it SHOULD be done. At the very least I would not work in the first semester. This way you can get a feel for what will be required of...

  3. What's your opinion?

    Griffin123 replied to MDS3's topic in General Students

    In my program Peds seems to be A LOT easier. I don't know if this is fairly common or not,

  4. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Griffin123 replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    If I get kicked out of nursing school? Easy. I'm moving to Mexico and majoring in

  5. OB clinical experience ... a male perspective.

    Griffin123 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I just finished my OB/Peds/Newborn Nursery clinicals last month. Had to watch a circumcision. I think I had sympathy

  6. What to do about talkers!

    Griffin123 replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wire each seat in the classroom with electrodes. Each button delivers a mild shock to a corresponding seat. Therapeutic and

  7. Withholding Transcripts...

    Griffin123 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    I don't think the school can do anything since you've already graduated and they've sent your information off. At the very least I would write a letter to the BoN and the state's Board of Education...

  8. Withholding Transcripts...

    Griffin123 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    I would also contact your state's board of education. If it were me I would also give serious thought about writing my state representative as

  11. How can I not feel so overwhelmed at clinical?

    Griffin123 replied to unbalanced's topic in General Students

    I'd say try to stick it out, but if she marks you unsatisfactory (or some equivalent of it) for your clinical, then consider asking for a different instructor. If another instructor shares the...

  12. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Griffin123 replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    Easy there, Panama Red. Just because I think saying "...on occasion I indulge in smoking marijuana for the calming effects it has on my situational anxiety and sleep issues." and "I am fervently...

    Come now, Caribbean Character, a person that abuses illegal drugs occasionally is the perfect person to have a job that involves...passing out

  14. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Griffin123 replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    Supporting Mexican drug cartels by paying cash for an illegal drug is OK. Seeing a doctor to ask about treatment options for a condition that nearly every human being in our country has experienced...

  15. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Griffin123 replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    Well, if professionals self medicate it must be ok, then. Sounds legit to

  16. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Griffin123 replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    This pretty much says everything I was going to say. See a doc. You're not the first person in the nation with anxiety or sleep issues. Chances are excellent they'll have something for you other...

  17. Where are you starting your clinicals?

    Griffin123 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Our first semester was at a long term care facility. I hated every minute of it. I didn't mind peri care or the smells but I hated to see the condition some of the patients were in. I had 4...

  18. Serious anxiety about nursing school

    Griffin123 replied to hazel30's topic in General Students

    Hi there Hazel. I'm a second semester nursing student. I saw your post and wanted to add my 2 cents. If things do get too crazy, ask your school if they offer a part time nursing program. If they...

  19. Do I have any options?

    Griffin123 replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Absolutely there are options! The trick is to do a lot of research. Off the top of my head, here are some of my thoughts: - Do not take out educational assistance with your employer. - Check into...

  20. Phlebotomy Certification Course + prereqs

    Griffin123 replied to lexie18875's topic in General Students

    I had to learn what GrnTea said the hard way. It's true. Now, if you just need some random elective to fill in for your 4 year degree or something then that's cool. But it won't help you in nursing...

  21. Going into finals week upset and stressed out.

    Griffin123 replied to EMT89's topic in General Students

    I haven't found anything to calm my nerves. 2 weeks left in my first semester. I have a 75% in one class and 80 or above in my other two classes. But, if I make anything less than a 75% in any...

  22. I am sucking at skills :(

    Griffin123 replied to Cydney86's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way. They say some people are visual learners and some people are auditory learners. I personally don't feel comfortable until I do something a thousand times. Repetition is the only...

  23. should i take other classes along with nursing courses

    Griffin123 replied to hkramer's topic in General Students

    It is possible. It is not smart. I do not believe anything in Nursing is "hard". There are just varying degrees of time consumption required. Make no mistake, if you do all the reading, studying...

  24. Lost my first patient today

    Griffin123 replied to RyleeMendez's topic in General Students

    This said everything I was thinking and more. Very nice

  25. Part time work and Nursing program?

    Griffin123 replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I personally don't recommend it at all. Lots of folks do it, but I don't recommend it. Things can get pretty hairy especially in the first semester. My honest opinion is to complete the first...
