    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    I have an interview next week for a CNA/tech job and don't know what to wear. I want to make a good impression because the job is on the floor I want to end up working on when I graduate nursing...

    What to wear for job interview

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I have a couple of pairs of slacks and some nice blouses. I always try to look presentable (not too much makeup, hair neat and clean, and clothes pressed), so no worries there. I will see what I can...

    Is Taking Two Prerequisites and Working F/T Too Much?

    rubato replied to Babs41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can do it. As long as you make the time you need to study. Can you study during the kids nap time, or during some down

    Staying organized

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

    We all receive a block schedule from our program with a weekly list. I then also have a monthly planner book that I use which I then add all the "non-nursing school" items into. My husband then puts...

    The Thrill of Observing my First C-Section!

    rubato replied to lifeisgood48's topic in General Students

    It's a beautiful experience, but I enjoyed being a part of the labor and delivery better, personally. It was just so amazing to watch them work so hard and be so thrilled with their new baby. Not a...

    Social Butterfly or stay to self?????

    rubato replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    We have our cliches also. I am polite to those people, but don't reach out to befriend them. I am very social with everyone else. We go out after tests, meet up outside of school hours to work on...

    rubato replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I'm graduating in May also. I'm having such a great time this semester and am working hard to put my perfect clinical location together for next semester, since it's my last. I'm nervous about...

    Retained info.

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

    The quick answer is "all of it"! I have used tissues, bones, muscles, renal, hepatic, cardiac, nervous, etc...... in nursing school. I still have to remember all those stupid cranial nerves,...

    Taking 20 credits next semester.

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

    I took 18 one semester and handled it with no problem. Now, I'm taking 13, with 10 of them being nursing and it's hard!!!!! Nursing school is different than prereqs. Really

    Nursing graduation ideas - unique situation

    rubato replied to Flemingac's topic in General Students

    OP, that is a fantastic idea! Your mother must miss her own mother terribly and more so during a special moment like graduating from school. I think it's the perfect

    Yoga teacher training - Can it benefit my nursing practice?

    rubato replied to 078207's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I think it will benefit your health but not your career. I'm a personal trainer and truly don't see how I'll be more marketable d/t that. It did help in anatomy/physiology

    Starting 1st semester on Chapters 17, 20-22 & 34 in Fund. book?

    rubato replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    What class DOES follow the book exactly? Even Comp 1 didn't follow the book chapter for chapter. I was taught all over the place and from various books my first semester of nursing school. It was the...

    Do you eat well/exercise while in the program?

    rubato replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Super healthy student here. I run 3-4 days a week, lift 2 days a week and go to zumba 1 day a week. I eat paleo and have to bring my food with me everywhere I go so that I get enough to eat. I think...

    Routes for Applying to Nursing School with a low GPA (2.3)

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

    A lot of schools don't take people that get much higher GPAs than their minimum requirement. Your saving grace will be if you can find a school that only looks at pre req GPAs. You will need to do...

    rubato posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Has anyone ever attempted the NCLEX without studying? What was your outcome? I'm a REALLY good test taker. I also retain info really well. I am debating not studying and seeing how it goes. Worst...

    I cannot focus on studying today

    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    I have a test tomorrow. It is huge. But, I can't study. Every time I look at material, I feel drawn away from it. It's OB, and I just don't care about OB. It's our last test before the final, and it's...

    CRNA vs. RN

    rubato replied to CallMeDoctor2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Funny and pretty true. I saw how much they made and thought "Wow, maybe I'll do that", but when I shadowed a CRNA, no thanks. Almost no patient interaction, same exact job every day, but fabulous...

    To study or not to study????

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

    I am not trying to prove anything. I just wondered if it was possible. I would like to take the test as soon as I can and from what I'm hearing from friends, they're putting it off a month in order to...

    To study or not to study????

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

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I know that to some it will seem like a chance at wasting money, but I might really be okay doing it this way. I haven't taken my exit exam yet (will in May), but I...

    LPN or RN program?

    RN! Unless you want to work in LTC or a doctor's office. In that case, you may not want to waste the extra time and money going for an

    Failed. :(

    rubato replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take those prereqs for the BSN while you wait. It certainly won't hurt you and you can put your time to good use. I recommend going for BSN even though I'm going to a CC. I am bridging immediately...

    Obamacare vs. The Affordable Care Act

    rubato replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is why I decided to have a child, even though we are totally over populated. I decided that all the stupid people were breeders and producing more stupid people. My son, who is 13, knows more...
