    Thanks! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to wear new balance, the paperwork we got for orientation says that we have to wear closed leather white nursing shoes, no open backs her toes and K Swiss is...

    What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I can't get it out of my head that I need to find myself in the NICU. I'm not sure why, but I haven't been able to shake it since I started my prereqs 2 years

    does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    If it's what you want, stick it out. It's a rewarding and flexible career and if hands on care isn't your bag, you could go on to become a nurse educator too! I'm sorry to hear that your job isn't the...

    Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    You can learn math. If you seriously suspect a learning disability, seek help on how to work with it so that you can pursue your dreams. You need to have a working understanding of it in order to get...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with someone else that said maybe your facility is just not a good experience. I know plenty of nurse grads that LOVE their jobs, no matter how over worked they sometimes feel. One of the...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    I've actually gotten a head start on this one! I put on a few extra pounds over the past two semesters so I'm taking the time to shed them and be more active because I'll need to have an established...

    Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Khan academy is tremendously helpful even in subjects outside of math. It's also a huge factor to have mind over matter, if you've already told yourself that you'll never understand math then...

    Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    The students are minors and if the parents aren't coming forward the students are still able to report this behavior to the school - I didn't have a teacher like this in high school, but we did have a...

    Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    I didn't read past the second page. More often than not, we see students blaming the teacher unfairly. "I don't get it because the teacher wasn't good". If this teacher threw a temper tantrum and...

    Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    While I think there should be a strict limit to the number of chances that a future nurse gets, I think that if we're going to make mistakes and fail - it's better to do it in school and learn from it...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    If she's a friend and she's been a study partner and worked with you, then cool. But if she's just a classmate that doesn't help you in any way, tell that mooch to do it

    Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    Get yourself a tutor, change your studying habits, practice more, try to make it interesting- find a way to make it make sense because you need to be able to do math in order to do dosage calculations...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Treu's topic in General Students

    Choose the classes that best fit the program that you most want to get into. For the most part, they're pretty much the same across the board: -Anatomy and Physiology for 2 semesters (or 1 semester...
