    Books for class

    rubato replied to Jonny-anderthal's topic in General Students

    I did not use all of my books the first semester. I should have never purchased 3 or 4 of the 10 we bought because I never opened them. But, I buy used on Amazon and then sell back to my

    5th time nclex taker

    rubato replied to mnelmac's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes, the nicest thing you can do for a person is tell them the truth, even if it hurts. Some people are not meant to be nurses. They can keep pushing for it forever, but it's just going to be a...

    I'm going to be drowning in my last semester!

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys. I know we all have a lot on our plates. We'll get through it! :) The marathon isn't my first, otherwise there'd be no way I'd do it right now. I am really hoping to not have to give it...

    I feel like I am learning to be a nurse on my own.

    rubato replied to MzSS's topic in General Students

    But, you kind of DID say whether it's right or wrong by saying in an earlier post that schools that have lecture are hand holding and spoon feeding. So, you did, in fact, make a

    Tips for staying healthy in nursing school?

    rubato replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    I also recommend weight training, but don't think it will help boost your immune system. It will, however, help you with your metabolism. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn in...

    I feel like I am learning to be a nurse on my own.

    rubato replied to MzSS's topic in General Students

    While I think we are all adults and should take the responsibility to learn, lecture isn't hand holding. It's just one way of teaching. I am grateful that my school wants to TEACH me. I am responsible...

    4 years in a CC??!

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

    My 4 year ADN was FULL time (15-18 credit hours per semester plus all summers), so I understand what you are saying. But, I paid for my ADN with a merit scholarship, am getting a job, and will get my...

    4 years in a CC??!

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

    I worked my behind off and got all my prereqs in in 4 semesters (2 summers included). Then, my nursing degree is taking me another 2 years. Then, a year of full time bridge for the BSN. I feel like I...

    What should I say?

    I would send an email asking for an official, in person meeting. That way, she can schedule it around her busy

    ATI 2013

    rubato replied to Iamaboyandanurse2b's topic in General Students

    Mine is all the 2010 version. Our school is so angry that ATI is not faster about getting their updates in place. We are all (faculty included) worried about what this means for our NCLEX pass

    What are you looking forward the most on Thanksgiving?

    rubato replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I'm looking forward to spending my last Thanksgiving with my family for awhile. I'm a senior student and next year, I'll be working. I'm sure I'll have to work on the holidays from here on

    Dear Cheaters

    rubato replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    I'm a 2nd year ADN student. One of the 1st year students apparently cheated on a test and now, both grades of students are being punished for it. We're not in trouble, but the school changed some...

    ADN student feeling discouraged and seeking advice from working RN's

    rubato replied to rubyagnes's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm graduating with my ADN in May and will bridge to BSN in August. I just got hired as a CNA at a hospital and they also interviewed me for a future RN position. They want to make sure I am going to...

    I want a medical job!!!!

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

    Not all states allow you to become a CNA after the first year of school. Mine doesn't. We were required to have passed our CNA before applying to the program. I didn't get a job until just now and I...

    Worried about paying off student loan debt

    rubato replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    I think this is the biggest mistake you could make. Work extra shifts, have no life and pay those suckers off fast. You will be out of pocket less money and it will all be over sooner. Paying extra...

    blowing veins during IV starts

    rubato replied to queenjulie's topic in General Nursing

    This is all great advice guys. I'm a student still, but I LOVE starting IVs. We have started them on our fellow students a lot, but I've now had success 3 times in clinicals. I have had pretty easy...

    As a new grad RN, would you take an Assisted Living position

    rubato replied to Nola009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's a toughie. That pay sucks. I am working as a CNA in a hospital right now while finishing school and make $13.75/hour. In my case, if I don't get hired right away in a hospital, I'll just keep...

    How to take blood pressure

    rubato replied to vgny914's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My systolic is usually 80-90, so going up to 200 on me would be a bad idea. I don't think I'd go up that high on someone unless I knew that they ran high

    Worried about paying off student loan debt

    rubato replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    I'm really shocked by the $100k amount. Some of these private schools are such a horrible scam! I am in an RN program and will then bridge to a BSN at a state university. My total loan cost will be...
