    Jealous much?

    rubato replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    Yes, grades don't matter. That was not the point being made. The point being made was that these are the same people you will be competing against for jobs (with your resume, interview skills, and...

    How in debt were you after Nursing school?

    rubato replied to lilwonder's topic in General Students

    A big ol fat 0!!!! I worked my a** off to save enough money to pay cash for my living expenses and books and got a full ride for tuition plus a little extra. Once I get my ADN, I'll still have cash...

    Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    rubato replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Give me a break. Who walks up to someone working out and questions their attire? DO NOT go to the gym if you are worried at all about

    Brown Mackie

    rubato replied to Boomersooner9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I have read on here I would run away. But, I have no personal knowledge of what type of program they are, just what their reputation

    Jealous much?

    rubato replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    I share my grades willingly. I just don't worry about it. Of course, my first semester of nursing school didn't go as well as I would have hoped, so I wasn't sharing 97s or anything like that. If...

    I'm not going to lie...

    rubato replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Everyone has their own path and their own reasons. You're making the right choice for you, and no one should argue that. Just like those that choose to go straight for their BSN are doing what's right...

    Failed 1st Fundamentals Test

    rubato replied to BillieP's topic in General Students

    That's a huge percentage of failing grades. I have to agree with the above poster that there is something wrong. I think our average for our first test was 89% or something ridiculously high like...

    Should I still pursue Nursing as a career even if I'm not excellent in math?

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

    As a nurse, the math you will need is division and multiplication. If you break down those huge, long calculations, it's just a long row of fractions, and really, that's just division and...

    Onsite online nursing program

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

    Just make absolutely sure of accreditation. Too many horror stories on here. Then, make sure that you are capable of learning online. I am not, and I know this about myself. Then, find out about the...

    So tired! Do we get used to it?

    rubato replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    We started 12s this semester in clinicals. I love it! I have a whole extra day to study that my fellow students don't. Of course, yes, I'm exhausted at the end of the day, but mostly, I'm completely...

    Advice on A&P

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

    This was absolutely necessary for me. I had to go to lab, touch them, pull the top muscles off to reveal the inside muscles. It was the only way I could learn. I only had to do that with bones and...

    Just Started Nursing School!

    rubato replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    I will give you some advice from one of those nursing students old enough to be your grandmother (well, almost). I am just as scared about fitting in and finding my place as you are! I know that it...

    A lamb in a den of wolves!

    rubato replied to Jinx322's topic in General Students

    I've changed my view after my first semester. I was assigned to a nurse my first day of clinicals who treated me like I didn't exist for 8 solid hours. She wouldn't talk to me, didn't want to show me...

    Uniform color requirements

    rubato replied to Spika RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Unfortunately, it sounds like you are stuck with black. I would hate this, but can understand all of your reasons. I get super warm too and couldn't possibly wear sleeves under my scrubs. And, yeah,...

    Favorite scrubs brands

    rubato replied to thelittledoe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Koi and only Koi. I haven't found another company that makes scrubs that are super comfortable and super

    Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    rubato replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I have my own version of this from running marathons. Running 26.2 miles is too overwhelming to think about, so I just kept telling myself "You can do anything for 10 minutes." or "You can do anything...

    Non compliance

    rubato replied to delaynenicholson's topic in General Students

    I come from a family of unhealthy people, on both sides. I only offer advice when it's asked for. But, it frustrates me. I'm a very healthy person and could really help people learn. They just aren't...

    Nursing School "Special People"

    rubato replied to nolanewb's topic in General Students

    nolanewb, It sounds like you've got things figured out. Good for you. Yes, there are those that cause more drama, but sometimes, they make the best friends in school. You will know what's right for...

    Any Other Mid-Life Students?

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

    42 here. I'm not alone in my school either. At least half of us are over 30, with a few in their 50s. Almost everyone has children. Not everyone knows what they want to be by 18. Some, like me, got it...

    Has anyone had the first exam yet? EEEEK!

    rubato replied to KimmyKat45's topic in General Students

    My first exam grade was an 84. Big shocker for me. But, I learned from it and did great on the second exam. I learned that the rationales are soooo important. Just try to figure out EXACTLY what the...

    Second Thoughts..???

    rubato replied to msmarcia's topic in General Students

    It's normal to feel that way. On our first day back this semester, it was shocking how many of us had the thought over winter break that being a stay-at-home mom was awfully nice and what were we...

    I feel like they should change the title of this site to "reasons why my job sucks"

    rubato replied to hershdawg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nursing student here. I love reading the rants and vents. I figure if I'm getting the the inside scoop of the under staffing, under appreciation, annoying families, ignorant patients, unsupportive...

    I had my melt down about this time last semester. It got a lot easier after that. Hang in there. Sorry you're having such a rough

    How many hours/days per week do you spend in clinical?

    rubato replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester, and we have one day a week, 12 hours. I'm excited to see what a real nursing shift feels
