    Nursing Clinicals

    rubato replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    My first semester is 9 credit hours and it looks like I'll be in class, lab or clinicals about 30-35 hours per week. It certainly isn't like the regular pre

    At what age do you plan on retiring from nursing?

    rubato replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    Since I won't even start nursing until I'm 44, I'll probably die nursing! From what I've been reading, it might actually kill

    Elle, I am an older student also. I get the whole cocky thing too. I am not cocky. I just know who I am. Anyone who doesn't at 42 needs some work! ;)The 19 year olds are all intimidated by me which is...

    Another 42 year old going into an ADN program this fall. I've been married for 19 years, and have a 12 year old son. I was a personal trainer, then a stay at home mom, so it's my first real time in...

    Favorite System

    rubato replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Endocrine is my favorite. Musculoskeletal is #2 because I'm a personal trainer, so I love muscles and I'm a klutz so I'm always breaking

    Starting school tomorrow...just came down with shingles!!!

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

    I can't offer any medical advice but just wanted you to know how sorry I am for you. Of course, if you can stay in the class somehow, you need to do it. But, I wouldn't want you to go to school and...

    rubato replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but I just had to add my 2 cents in post above. I don't have to squash it if I don't want to. It is worth getting worked up over. But, I'm done

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    rubato replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    The problem is that retarded and stupid are not interchangeable words. If you think someone is stupid, you call them stupid. If you think they're REALLY stupid, you call them retarded? That's wrong....

    Too FAT to be a nurse?

    rubato replied to Prtar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your school accepted you at the weight you are. That should tell you something. If you think that you would be a better nurse at a lower weight, start working on it while you're in school and get the...

    Would you rather? An Application Process Discussion

    rubato replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    In my school, I had the hardest A&P professor, by far. During the semester I felt bad because I had to work harder than people with other professors. But, I learned it! And my A looks a lot better...

    I got dismissed from Nursing program at west coast university I need help!!

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

    I have to agree with the advice you are receiving. I would try to work more on the English and find another school. This one does not want you back and you will just be causing a lot of drama and...

    Would you rather? An Application Process Discussion

    rubato replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    My school had a GPA based system mixed with ACT scores and an interview. The interview was worth 40% of the final score, but the only way to get in to the interview was with the ACT and GPA. So, the...

    I start NS in the fall. This summer, I'm taking 3 classes and have talked my professors into letting me finish 2 weeks early because we're heading to Europe at the end of the summer!!!! Can't wait. We...

    How much is your degree costing you?

    rubato replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    MY ADN with books is about $10,000 through my CC. I got a full scholarship through my honors program, so I only have to pay for books. Haven't gotten my book list for this semester, but I've heard...

    Yeah, backpack and heels won't work. I like my heels and will be wearing them on non clinical days on occasion, so I'll be sticking with my tote

    Should I wear support hose?

    I was curious about these. I have lots of pairs from my marathons. But, they're all in ridiculously bright colors. Hot pink, apple green, etc... Will anyone see

    Is taking 4 classes in the summer too much?

    rubato replied to stagha's topic in General Students

    We aren't you, so we can't answer that for you. Each person is different. I took 9 credit hours last summer and had no problem. There were 2 women in one of my classes who were taking 10 credit hours....

    I think ImKosher was just stating something that a lot of the students think, but would never say. It's an unfortunate truth. I have to admit, my first semester of college, I thought they looked very...

    How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

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

    Finished the semester with another 4.0 in all 6 of my classes. I had a scare in college algebra and ended up with a 90.05 % because I did so poorly on my final, but it's still an

    What are the reasons?

    rubato replied to CinDRnyc's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that AllNurses discourages you, but this board is here for everyone. And, a lot of people like to have a place to vent. They can't do it at work. They can't do it at home. Their friends...

    Anatomy and Physiology....HELP!

    rubato replied to Mkr2012's topic in General Students

    I actually recommend taking it over the summer. My summer courses are 4 days a week and, in coming to class that often, I retain it better. I took Chem over the summer and loved it. To be done in 8...
