  1. This long journey has finally come to an end! :)

    Congratulations! It is such a weird feeling of having nothing due, huh? I didn't know what to make of myself last summer
  2. passed my program

    Congratulations!!! I will be done in 2 days and I cannot wait. Study hard. And keep up with what you have been doing - you will do
  3. Petrified I will fail out!

    I actually wasn't very stressed out about failing out. Please don't let you believe that nursing school is cake. It's certainly not. I just took it semester by semester and day by day. Module by...
  4. Foot in the door...

    Congrats- great story! I have no medical experience and I am in my final semester. I am scared that I won't find anything- as I haven't any luck finding a PCT or dietary aide
  5. How many have you lost this semester?

    Semester 1 -- 4-5 Semester 2 -- 6 Semester 3 -- 2 Semester 4 /final semester -- 0 (I think and hope we will all make
  6. Catholic hospital

    There is a Catholic hospital that I would really like to work at in the future. I am not Catholic, nor have I ever attended a Catholic school in my past. I did a semester of my clinical rotation at...
  7. CNA question...

    I would say 'yes!' I am just finishing up my nursing program and I really wish that I did pursue a CNA training course/class before the program. It will allow you to become more comfortable and...
  8. I received pretty much the same reviews in the past. Basically, you just continue on and try to better yourself. It gets easier with time and familiarity with the facility you are in. The best thing...
  9. I don't get it

    I wouldn't stress over it too much. Do the best you can in your path - and don't let others bring you down. I am in an ADN program right now and I am aware that I will need more schooling (I am...
  10. Catholic hospital

    Thanks for the replies. I just found it weird that everyone I knew that worked there had attended a Catholic school in the past. I am sure it is just coincidence and there are others who are not...
  11. NCLEX review board game

    My friend bought me this game from B&N. I was kind of ticked because they jipped me out of a dice and player pieces . So, I have been playing with monopoly pieces:bugeyes: I usually play with my...
  12. How do nurses practice giving shots?

    In Sim lab, we practiced on some sort of jelly-like bag. I sort of wished they at least has a dummy, so we could have practiced injecting bodily landmarks. The first injection I had to give was IM. My...
  13. Senioritis

    Not the only one. I am doing my readings, but nothing is sticking! I have two more tests left. I am really scared that I am going to screw this up. At this point, I just want to pass. I feel so burnt...
  14. age?!?

    I go to a community college and I think the youngest person in my class is going to be 22 soon. The oldest student is in his 40s. Most of people in my class are probably around 26-33. Alot of us are...
  15. I should be happy

    Congratulations! Celebrate your hard work and acceptance into the Fall 2013 program. A semester later is really not all too much later. Live your life at your own pace- not a timeline that needs to be...
  16. I was so clueless when I started out (I am still clueless in some areas lol...but it's a continuous learning experience.) A good number of people in my class were familiar with the basics due to past...
  17. Start RN-BSN right away?

    I graduate May 2012. I really was (and still am, actually) torn about whether to pursue the BSN right away or wait. I have applied to a few RN-to-BSN programs just in case I decide to go right away....
  18. I graduate this May 2012. But, I am enrolled in a Kaplan course my last couple of weeks in May. I have done about 3,675 questions (actually more, but I only count questions where I have read the...
  19. Just took the NCLEX

    Awesome, congrats! I am glad Kaplan has been good to you. I have purchased the study course/resources/books. I hope it really helps me
  20. what would you do if you were in my shoes???

    Well, for one, I would not recommend doing the associates program (at least for that sort of money!) I am in an associates nursing program and from day 1, the teachers have told us that the job...
  21. Was the Nursing program your first choice?

    I had two nursing schools in mind when I decided I wanted to pursue nursing. I already have a bachelors degree, so part of me sort of wishes I went with the accelerated second degree nursing program....
  22. Pinning Ceremony Attire

    I am probably in the minority, but I have no interest in attending pinning ceremony. I have spent way too much money in this program. It would cost me another $100.00 more (at the minimum) to attend...
  23. C=degree

    I hope that employers do not look at GPAs as a sole factor in the future. There is too much wrong with that. In our program, 83 and above is a 'C.' At other programs around the area, 80 and above is a...
  24. Depression in final year.

    This must be some sort of last semester syndrome. I am feeling extremely depressed, scared, and incompetent my final semester. Clinical has always been a challenge for me. But, I am also losing...
  25. 4th semester in ADN program...in need for advice

    You sound alot like like me! I am also a 4th semester nursing student. I was pretty on the ball my 2nd semester because I had a strict instructor- so I had to be. My 3rd semester was a breeze because...
