    Should I reapply to nursing school?

    SopranoKris replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    Can you bridge to RN/BSN when you're done with the LPN? If not, go with the BSN

    SopranoKris replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    OP, I understand the pain of infertility. I experienced several miscarriages and battled IF for years before I was lucky enough to have my son. He had a twin, but we lost his twin. It was very...

    Advice for a prospective Nursing Student

    SopranoKris replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with this! Get the BSN while you're young and have the chance to do

    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

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

    You say tom-ay-to, I say tom-ah-to. Personally, I think you're more interested in proving you're right and not taking into account there are many differences in how programs are set up. Many of the...

    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

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

    Don't you think you're being a tad condescending with your reply? OP wants to go to nursing school with no pre-reqs. And while YOU may think nursing school is "easy", it is a LOT of work on its own...

    $800 phlebotomy course worth it before I start BSN program?

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

    I had a different experience as the previous poster when I did phlebotomy. We worked well with the nurses. Often, we'd draw extra tubes because the docs would invariably forget to enter a particular...

    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

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

    If you don't have a solid foundation of anatomy, physiology & pharmacology, you are going to struggle mightily in nursing school. Quick & fast does not mean quality. The truth is, most 2 year...

    Not all programs require medical insurance to be carried by the student. Ours

    YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

    SopranoKris replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Our program does not round up, no exceptions. So, a 91.9 will never be a 92, no matter how much we whine & cry. We also have no extra credit whatsoever. You earn what you earn. Is it frustrating?...

    Not wanting to take care of male resident

    SopranoKris replied to MileyFans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're going to have to get over this notion that you can't tolerate anything "below the belt" on a male patient. My first semester of nursing school and I've seen a ton of male parts. You know what?...

    Dimensional Analysis

    SopranoKris replied to lil'India's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not sure of the timing of the dosage because you state "2 tsp ac & hs". What does this mean? Let's say you meant to say every 6 hours. There would be 4 doses in a 24 hour period (1 day = 24...

    Feeling Alone in Class

    SopranoKris replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Students

    Not superficial or silly at all. I'm working very hard for my grades. Unlike some of my classmates, I plan on pursuing an advanced degree when I'm done with the BSN. My GPA is very important. The...

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    SopranoKris replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Why continue to post if you've stated you failed and you've moved on and won't be continuing nursing

    Good clinical experiences vs. Bad clinical experiences

    SopranoKris replied to chanandler's topic in General Students

    I feel like I've had both a good & bad clinical experience this semester. What I mean is that I've had fabulous weeks and I've had rotten weeks. It all depends on the nurses I'm assigned to work...

    Just need some guidence on Pharm math test.

    SopranoKris replied to Mainergal2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Lori, believe it or not, I used to struggle terribly with math. I may not live next door, but I'm always here on AN to help

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    SopranoKris replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    She's been asked several times in her many other threads exactly what her daily schedule is that leaves her "no time". She never answers. She's more interested in blaming everything else but herself....

    Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    SopranoKris replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    It's called hyperhidrosis. I used to suffer terribly from this. Try going to your doc to get prescription antiperspirant or oral meds (oxybutinin, Ditropan). Botox is also an option, but it only lasts...

    10 Things You Should Know About the First Semester of Nursing School

    You nailed it, Lori!!! Very funny :) I told our program director that in addition to our orientation, we need a family orientation night. Just so our families can hear from them how unavailable we...
