    Will being on anxiety medication hinder me from becoming a RN?

    rubato replied to Amdecl6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just remember, you'll have to take a drug test once you've been accepted. At that time, if you show up positive for something, you will, in fact, have to explain it. I would think it would be fine...

    Husband rant...kinda long.

    rubato replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    I am a control freak, super organized, cleanliness nut. I talked to hubby and son multiple times before this journey began, but alas, it was a mess. The thing my husband told me, and that I try to...

    IV fear

    rubato replied to new2here's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not like your first day of nursing school will involve IVs. Don't worry. You will start by watching it, then, you'll get the basics of the mechanics of it, then you'll learn to do it on a...

    Winter Break

    rubato replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    My house is actually still clean from Thanksgiving break (all I did was clean and cook). So....I will be exercising like a mad woman. I have gained 10 lbs this semester and am pi**ed about it. So,...

    What classes are you taking in spring

    rubato replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I took 9 credit hours of foundations of nursing, along with 2 honors contracts. I just wasn't prepared for how much extra work nursing school took. Now I know and just really don't know if I'll be...

    private college or community college

    rubato replied to Aggie35's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose community college. My school has a super high NCLEX pass rate, is cheaper and the graduates are very hire able. It is VERY competitive around here to get into my community college, but the...

    To have a baby or not to have a baby

    rubato replied to MamaD0719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I will be the lone voice of descent (sp?) here. I would want my kids kind of close together and I think you'd do better being in prereqs pregnant than in nursing school pregnant. I also...

    Starting Nursing School at NAU, what books do I need?

    rubato replied to squeakercarp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree with GrnTea. I am finishing up my first semester of nursing school now. While I don't use all my books very often, I like to be able to go to them to reference things and answer questions I...

    Spring schedule too much?

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

    I've taken up to 18 and managed. Yes, you can do it. Will it be fun? NO! I was fine with it, but I love school and, apparently, don't have a

    Can a teacher do this?

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

    My biggest problem with a lot (not all) of the younger generation: teaching for the test. Ridiculous. I was trying to be helpful with my earlier advice. Your instructor is not going to guide you to...

    East Coast to West Coast

    rubato replied to traumanurse2b?'s topic in General Students

    That's a tough situation. Like you said, ultimately you'll be the one making the decision, but if it were me, I just don't think I could live without hubby that long. There are nursing school's...

    No-one to a Someone.

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

    I would never, in a million years, say that you can't do something. But....you will have to really push past all the reasons you gave for doing poorly in the past. I would have been a horrible...

    Can a teacher do this?

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

    Of course not. I was only addressing the questions posed by the OP. I was also addressing her later comments. I would not want that type of professor either. We have one or two like that in my nursing...

    Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    rubato replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you are being treated this way. I was that woman in my prereqs and hated how people treated me because of my grades. Now that I'm in nursing school, and my grades aren't the best (Bs), I...

    Can a teacher do this?

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

    I don't think anyone is trying to be super negative. I can say with certainty that I am not. However, the OP asked if it was bad teaching and everyone is just trying to explain to her that it is her...

    Fall semester is almost over. How did everyone do?

    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    To all you first semester nursing school students, like myself, how did the first semester go? Was it tougher or easier than all the hype made it out to be? Did clinicals go your way? Did you learn a...

    Can a teacher do this?

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

    My suggestion was to read all the chapters. I don't think I was being vague at all. Read the chapters. All of them. From beginning to end. Maybe read them a 2nd

    Have you ever caught someone cheating?

    rubato replied to TipToeLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had a cheater in my CNA course. I didn't turn him in until the 3rd test. In fact, we all turned him in. He came back into the room after talking to the professor and threw things against the wall....

    Question about Bedside Manner

    rubato replied to lilemma's topic in General Students

    You do not need to be outgoing to be a good nurse, but I do think that touch is powerful. I am not a touchy-feely person at all. My first patient, I was funny and polite and attentive with,but when my...

    If you were granted just one wish what would it be?

    rubato replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    My one Christmas wish would be to make it through nursing school with my marriage intact. I have never had so many fights with my hubby. If only he's understand that he is doing everything

    Potential Nurse, but scared to do it?

    rubato replied to bulldogs2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 17, it's really hard to know for sure that you will be making the right choice. Trust me, I'm 42 and just now getting into nursing. My past career was personal training and I hated it. But, your...

    I wish they did, but I doubt it. Yes, it's completely unfair. I just hope you can all figure something out, because it
