  1. Got my Fall 2012 MTSU Acceptance Letter!

    badwolf posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I wasn't expecting to receive anything until mid-April, but I got my letter today! At first I thought it must be a rejection since it came so early, so I read it twice before calling my husband to...

  2. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

    badwolf replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

    Just ignore them and don't deny yourself the use of good equipment just to make someone else feel better. Their stuff may be fine, or they may have to double back and buy again if they aren't getting...

  3. Questions about supplies

    badwolf replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    Unless you have gotten information from your school about their requirements, I would wait to buy anything other than your basic school supplies. They may have a certain type they want you to buy or...

  4. Book you can't live without.

    badwolf posted a topic in General Students

    Just curious, what non-textbook have you relied on most during NS? I don't want to jump the gun and buy anything I don't need, but want to start window shopping. Sorry if this is a repeat post....

  5. Advice for a pre nursing student?

    badwolf replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in General Students

    A&P I for me was a lot of memorization (mostly anatomy). Flash cards and printing off diagrams to label were my best study tools. My best advice for starting college is to enjoy the new social...

    badwolf replied to badwolf's topic in General Students

  7. Last Free Weekend

    badwolf replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    This is my last free week! Like everyone else, I plan to clean and organize. When my financial aid comes through, I will shop books and supplies. I need to freeze crock pot meals, but we will see if...

  8. Which Specialty?

    badwolf replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

    I'm staying open until I have done some clinicals and worked as a CNA. All of the nurses I know say that what you think you want to do usually

  9. Not impressed and depressed

    badwolf replied to BitterSweetSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that this will sound mean, and I'm sorry. My first impression of you from the OP is that you have a chip on your shoulder and that won't get you anywhere. Be positive and let your work speak...

  10. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    badwolf replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Has anyone else gotten "when you're a nurse I will be calling you in the middle of the night when my kid's sick" Hahaha, so funny. But seriously, don't call

  11. Why should we pick you?

    badwolf replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I had that question. Here is pretty much what I said: "When I decided to come back to school to be a nurse, I put my heart and soul into that goal. Since starting my pre-reqs I have worked hard and...

    badwolf replied to unicoRNurse's topic in General Students

  14. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    badwolf replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Haha, I haven't even started nursing school and I get this kind of stuff all the time. I was meeting friends to go on a road trip and the first thing my friend said to me, at 7am, was, "I have blood...

  15. Is dating or flirting with an another nurse or patient is acceptable?

    badwolf replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to know how to keep your name clean, in any job, go to work and do your job! Don't worry about social stuff. The patient thing seems like a no-brainer to me. Socializing with coworkers...

  16. New nursing student, what should I expect from my classes?

    badwolf posted a topic in General Students

    So, I've been really focused on getting into nursing school and getting my CNA certification, but I haven't really thought to get any feedback on what to expect from my upcoming classes. My first...

  19. What are you going to miss the most...

    badwolf replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    The rest I can live without, but the reading, I'll miss that! I panicked the other day because I didn't feel like I had read enough this summer. Now I'm calculating how many books I could fit in...

  20. Organization for Nursing School

    badwolf replied to Michaela, RN's topic in General Students

    It's already been said, but I'll say it again, you have to find what works best for you. I am starting my nursing classes in the fall as well, but I have developed my organization and note-taking...

  21. Almost done w/ pre reqs.. question!

    badwolf replied to jordanhenning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Research what schools you want to attend and double check their requirements. My school has a nursing adviser, if your school of choice have one, set an appointment with them. I met with my adviser...

  22. Fall 2012 Jitters!

    badwolf replied to PedsHopeful's topic in General Students

    I'm mostly excited, but nervous too. I haven't had a job all summer and am trying to get a CNA job right now. I think that if I can work I won't think about school so much. Tomorrow I send all of my...

  23. Prenursing student--confused?? What are my options?

    badwolf replied to sixela21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not totally sure, and I'm sure others on the site are more knowledgeable, but I looked up the RN-MSN programs at some of my local schools and they require you to have had a certain amount of...

  24. First day of CNA class......

    badwolf replied to DreamChaser81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I started Monday too! I feel like a deer in the headlights from all of the information. My class is on a rotating schedule so some of the students have been there for up to four weeks. That's the most...
