    Can I still become a nurse with a disease

    rubato replied to trew1020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm surprised that people don't know it's autoimmune. Any time your body attacks itself, it's autoimmune. Celiac is not just the inability to tolerate gluten, it's that the body attacks its own...

    When do you usually finish your tests?

    rubato replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1st or 2nd out the door. Was straight A until nursing school (this 3rd semester is KICKING MY BUTT). I cannot keep going over the test, and when I'm done I'm

    Can I still become a nurse with a disease

    rubato replied to trew1020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Celiac disease is, in fact, an autoimmune disease. I have it as well as Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is another autoimmune disease. I am in nursing school. Neither of these diseases is spreadable....

    Where do YOU sit in class?

    rubato replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    In our class this year, there are some incredibly annoying people in the front row. Think they know all the answers and don't allow anyone else to try. Then, in the back, we have the jokesters who are...

    What has your most hectic day/week been so far?

    rubato replied to barcode120x's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd semester. In our 2nd week I had to do prep over Labor Day weekend, 12 hour clinicals Tuesday, SIM lab all day Wednesday, lecture Thursday and Friday as well as going to the lab during...

    Starting to thinking nursing is not for me..losing that drive

    rubato replied to Yani_5412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are all common problems. I'm grateful that my fellow nursing students all work hard to make sure everyone knows what they need to succeed. I knew what I needed to transfer to the BSN bridge...

    Can my hospital force me to go back to school?

    rubato replied to AshleyElizabethRN's topic in General Nursing

    The OP stated that the employer would not pay. It would be an out of pocket

    failed first nursing test

    rubato replied to dawnand1son's topic in General Students

    I always get Bs on my first tests, but I did get a D on a test once and still made an A that semester. It was tough, and I had to put more into my study habits and asking for help, but I got it

    How did/Will you pick out your study group?

    rubato replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    I am not in a study group. I am great friends with a lot of people in my cohort, but after trying twice to form groups, I just couldn't deal with it. We either talked to much, or they asked stupid...

    Flu shots as a student anyone?

    rubato replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, it probably has a lot more to do with the stress of nursing school and being exposed to sick

    How do you "keep up"?

    rubato replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I go over powerpoints with book open skimming. If I don't understand a concept, then and only then do I read the book. There's just too much and not enough time in the day. Plus, I really don't need...

    What has been your favorite prerequisite?

    rubato replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is on top followed by College Algebra. Gotta love us science and math geeks.

    Flu shots as a student anyone?

    rubato replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    We all get flu shots every year and it is a requirement in nursing school (at least if you want to go to clinicals). It is also a requirement if you want to work at most hospitals. The evidence I have...

    UGH!!!!! Leave me alone, I'm trying to study!!!!

    rubato replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    It doesn't sound like he's sabotaging you, he just doesn't "get it". They never really do. I'm in my 2nd year and last year was a big ol' shocker for my hubby and son. When mommy almost had a mental...

    Serious anxiety about nursing school

    rubato replied to hazel30's topic in General Students

    You will need to prioritize, organize and give up a few things. Your family will have to lend a hand. You will have to get child care more than you used to. And, you will lose a little sleep. But, you...

    What we're getting outselves into

    rubato replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in General Students

    I'm also a student. It is funny when I sit around listening to my fellow students gripe about how hard nursing school is. Yes, it is hard. But, it's temporary. Let's focus on the career path we are...

    rubato replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are stuck with a lousy professor you have two choices: 1. Drop out and retake it at a later date 2. Teach yourself. Tutors, online studying, spending extra hours in the library, or whatever it...

    Math & Science difficulty

    rubato replied to futureLVN40's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math is not really that important. You need to be able to multiple fractions, and put those problems together for drug calculations, but that's about it. Science is SUPER important. If you can't...

    Advice on best path to RN for an old guy in CT

    rubato replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    Here's my 2 cents, for what it's worth. You have a bachelor's degree, so I'd put all effort into either a traditional BSN or an accelerated. You have a decent chance of getting into your first choice,...
