    Any Double Major Students Out There?

    SopranoKris replied to lux libertas's topic in General Students

    Not sure how you'll manage clinicals & lab time with all the other classes you'll need to take for the 2nd major. Unless you're planning to go on to graduate school, what's the reason for the...

    Our state BON allows us to sit for the LPN after we complete the first year of our ADN. The only classmates taking the NCLEX-PN (that I know of) are those who are already CNAs who will get a...

    The Threat of a "B" on a Transcript

    SopranoKris replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SopranoKris replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I failed my ATI "Predictor"

    SopranoKris replied to madison14's topic in General Students

    Well, your only choice seems to be to apply to re-take the course. No, there are no guarantees that you will be readmitted, but at this point, it's your only choice. If your school was being...

    Nursing school schedule

    SopranoKris replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    We were lock-step. The hardest part was that it constantly changed. So, you could never count on which day you had off. For a few weeks, we were either in class or lab every single day. Then we...

    Fundamental module course

    SopranoKris replied to Ms.futureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had something similar for 1st year nursing students. They were called "workshops" and were 1 credit pass/fail. We were offered Clinical Documentation & Reasoning, Study Skills & Critical...

    University of Phoenix

    SopranoKris replied to Love12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to consider the following: 1. Will your state BON accept a degree from this school and allow you to sit for the NCLEX? 2. Is the extraordinary cost worth it? Make sure you explore all your...

    Uniform Inspection

    SopranoKris replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    We didn't have an inspection line, per se. However, the 1st time we were required to be in uniform, they pulled people aside who weren't properly attired. They were given a verbal warning. Next was...

    Points?

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

    misdemeanor domestic violence

    SopranoKris replied to Hello_Dolly's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Contact your state BON to see if it'll prevent you from getting licensure. Sometimes, a record can prevent you from even getting placement in clinicals. You might need to consult an
