    Good Writing Skills Are Essential

    rubato replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can't hit the "like" button enough! I can't stand reading the poor writing on here. In my comp 1 and 2 classes, I would have to read some of my fellow students' work. It was torture trying to get...

    Has anyone else had problems with for profit nursing schools?

    rubato replied to aqua82's topic in General Students

    This is the really horrible part of the whole thing? You spent how much on your education and they aren't even accredited? Just a horrible thing to do to you

    Please Help - I have no where else to turn

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

    I am so so so sorry this happened to you. I don't know for sure that I would have handled it the same way, but it's highly possible. Having someone threaten to kill me is kind of my breaking point!...

    Hair & clinical

    rubato replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Yeah, mine too. Guess I'll have to figure something else out. I'm going to my stylist next week. I'll get her to show me a bun that's actually attractive on me (I have big

    A way to not work?

    rubato replied to Nurse2BLife's topic in General Students

    Can it be done? Maybe. Here's what you have to look at: Does your husband make a decent living that it's possible to live off of? Can you cut some living costs (sell the new car that has huge...

    I cant spell and school

    rubato replied to rvd4now's topic in General Students

    I usually don't respond to any posts that don't use punctuation and capitalization, but you asked about language specifically, so I'll answer. I think not being able to spell or use punctuation will...

    When do clinicals normally start?

    rubato replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Okay, please ignore my answer above. Duh. I wasn't paying attention apparently.

    RN to MSN, skip the BSN?

    rubato replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Students

    I was considering this as well. Then, I found out that if I want to go for CRNA I might as well forget the MSN. They are now requiring a doctorate. Not gonna happen for me. I think if you ultimately...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

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

    ImKosher, well said. I think the two key points are drive and especially discipline. Some people just aren't disciplined enough to go to NS. It's hard, but I'm not a rocket scientist. Yes, I might...

    What will you do with your RN license?

    Torn between a Nursing or Nutrition degree because of my beliefs regarding medicine?

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

    It sounds like the nursing degree might be best for what you plan to do with your future. Being able to have lots of options is better than being stuck with only one. And, since you don't plan on...

    Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

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

    I am absolutely hating online nutrition! I don't feel like I'm learning anything at all. And, even though I still have an 88% in the class, I got my first ever F on a test. I just like being in the...

    Course load or course overload???

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

    I've taken up to 18 credit hours in a semester and gotten a 4.0, but I pretty much gave up my life. I have a hubby and child, so after school, studying and taking care of family, there was no time...

    Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    I'm not a nursing student yet, but will be starting in August. I don't really think it's supposed to be

    Should it be this hard?

    rubato replied to Chaotic94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm probably going to sound a little harsh, but this is what struck me when I read your post. You have so many excuses. I'm sorry, but there's just an excuse for everything. You need to get over all...

    Should I take these classes together?

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

    Same here. From the time you get your acceptance letter until first day of clinicals isn't 6 months. I talked to them at orientation and they said that it's fine as long as I've had the first two and...

    What are your summer plans while waiting for nursing school to start....

    rubato replied to nylady07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, Stephalump, not everyone is a Vegas person. My hubby and I don't like it at all. Too many people, too hot, then too cold, and I'm just not into it all. As far as my summer goes, I'm taking 4...

    I'm so excited to start!

    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    I am still in 4 classes this summer, but after orientation last week I just can't wait to start NS. My new school scrubs are washed and ready. I got my Danskos in the mail and have been wearing them...

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Stephalump, Yeah, I was worried about being forgotten the 2nd year too. I will try to remember your "hot mess" comment. It might be good to be forgotten for my first semester. No, the skin test...

    Any hope for Nursing school? Getting nervous about applying next year in January.

    rubato replied to kcee91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really need to talk to an adviser or counselor at your school. My school has a minimum requirement of 2.5, but people didn't get in with 4.0s. I just had to talk to the counselor to find out just...

    How did you save on textbooks? Ebooks or not?

    rubato replied to CinDRnyc's topic in General Students

    I buy my books used on Amazon and then sell them back to my school for more money. Great scheme I have going here. So far, I've made money every semester. It's not much, but anything
