  1. tucking scrub pants in shoes

  2. I need a second (or third, or fourth...) opinion

    I'm kind of mind-blown that you'd drop out of entire nursing program because you aren't happy with your grades. The point is to become a nurse, and that's hardly in jeopardy 4 weeks into school....
  3. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    My best friend is heading to PA school and decided to get her required health care experience through working as an MA. She has a Master's degree in another field, so she's far from a traditional MA...
  4. ADN now or BSN later?

  5. tucking scrub pants in shoes

    I feel old. Is that a "thing?" Tucking pants into high tops? When did I stop knowing what the current "things"
  6. Completely enraged!!!

  7. Ugh so upset!!

    As someone that's accidentally overdosed on thyroid meds (physicians mistake, not mine ) I can attest to the fact that it isn't a benign error. It could kill someone. So you're right...don't downplay...
  8. What happens when the majority fails?

  9. regret the nursing school i choose to attend. do you???

    I'm not sure what your reasoning is for considering dropping out. Are you afraid you're going to fail again? What would make the accelerated program
  10. Choosing between two programs

    I don't have any advice really, because my experience would've be applicable to your specific choice. But I'd like to point out that you wrote an essay on the greatness you've heard about the BSN,...
  11. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    To the OP, I have three little kids and a husband and all the gown up junk that goes with it, so I can't really compare it to anyone that has fewer responsibilities.... But I probably spend about 40...
  12. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

  13. Completely enraged!!!

  14. Completely enraged!!!

  15. Can I still become a nurse with a disease

  16. Nursing and then medical school?

    Yes, if you were to get into medical school, make it out, and get matched into a anesthesia residency, you could do it. Med school doesn't care what your degree is in, as long as you have one and the...
  17. Would you miss a week of classes for a PRN tech orientation?

    I'd do it in a heartbeat. It'll definitely make life more difficult for a bit, but in my area working in a hospital during school is pretty much the only an ADN will work in acute care after...
  18. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    I'm feeing grumpy so I'll be positive for a short moment. Yesterday was a great day! I got a 95 on my first test of the semester and checked off on the very last of my IV skills! I got to spend about...
  19. Where do YOU sit in class?

    How hard I worked to get into the class really has no bearing on where I sit...I don't see sitting further up as getting my value or claiming my spot or anything like that. I'm close to blind in one...
  20. You wanted to point that out 3 weeks after this thread died? Mhmm. I did get a great chuckle out of the idea that every man should be the head of household based on genetics. Worth the "bump."
  21. How on earth...

    During first year I just didn't prepare for class B. I'd show up with no clue about the material and just catch up afterward. This year we have little quizzes and activities to force us to prep, so...
  22. I'm going to have to get on board with everyone else...you cannot work as a CNA and count it as clinical hours. My school has no rule against clinicals at your work place, but during your work hours,...
  23. Marijuana and Nursing School

    It's about maturity, not experimental drug
  24. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Hey Bro, None of us will have all the details because we weren't there. If you don't want opinions without full facts, then you failed by starting a discussion about it with a bunch of
  25. Failing....? Your school's policy?

    My program is an integrated program that only starts once a year, so there's no retaking one class the next semester. If you fail a class you fail out of the program and have to reapply. Up until...
