  1. You're not even offering any money?
  2. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Well after my extensive research (aka a glass of wine and too much time on AN), I saw absolutely nothing that seems "mean." However, I'm no longer emotionally involved in any of the topics that were...
  3. Dismissed from ADN program need advice please

    Well it seems like you gave avoiding reality a shot and it didn't work out too well, so the only thing left to do is face it and push on through. Desperation doesn't do anything for us but convince us...
  4. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    That's very true and something I've been trying to practice lately. I'm very, very bad at that Lol. And now the rest of my night is going to be wasted looking through every post HM-whateverthe#is has...
  5. Ok, so the app only showed up until "anal gland secretion" and I opened this thread competes freaked out as to why a nursing student would have anal gland secretions on her shoes and what on earth...
  6. I'm so sorry you're going through all of that. I struggled with postpartum anxiety after all three of my children were born, and I know for a fact I could not have gone back to stressful job 4 months...
  7. Most difficult nursing pre req?

    I had the toughest time in Microbiology, but really I don't think the material was difficult, it was more a case of a really tough
  8. Questions about supplies

    Abigail, I LOVE the emergency kit idea! I'll be making one this weekend, for
  9. Let's Do this thing

    I would definitely do more prereading if you can! Those first few weeks of reading seem to be more brutal than normal. I think it's because it isn't quite so in depth so they can cover so much in...
  10. Texas state history class pre-req

    Yeah, I don't think you're going to be able to save money that way! Like the PP said...I'm sure it never even occurred to anyone in the legislature that someone WOULDN'T want to learn about Texas!...
  11. First day of Nursing School..

    Keyboards are super cheap. BUT I've found that, while typing is faster than writing, I simply do not retain it as well as if I write it. Typing for me is kind of like driving to your house - no...
  12. LPNs Often Fare Better Than Some Degree Earners

    I agree with this. My step father has been a welder for 30 years and his body is wearing out. Fortunately, he owns his own business so he was able to hire in someone to do it for him. Many good paying...
  13. No life?? Really? I need advice, please.

    I've only taken a summer session on NS so far, so I'm not overly experienced, but here's my two cents. First of all, let me make the all important disclaimer that everyone in different. Some people...
  14. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    Fantastic! Thanks! I have a few more idea now
  15. First day of Nursing School..

    Thanks! Granted, there was a flash food and I left my house to go to Walmart before school and the roads home ended up being closed. So I had to buy scrubs to wear and pens and paper to use, and gum...

    That's awesome! Good luck in the
  17. First day of Nursing School..

    I 'm just gonna tell you how I'm feeling.. gotta make you understand... I was thrilled on my first day of school this summer because I was on time. My alarm went off in the am instead of that...
  18. Let's Do this thing

    I'm the exact opposite - I've always been a speed reader (well, at least since I learned to read) and I naturally skim and get the jist that way. Wee were assigned 30 chapters of reading before we...
  19. Background Check Blue clearance card from BON

    I received mine in 6 days, but that was back in May before the new student rush. I've heard anything up to 6 weeks. Have you called? That little card seems like it could be easily lost in the
  20. Texas state history class pre-req

    Clep? Texas has a set list of courses we all have to take to graduate. They don't care where you're from or where you're going...you have to take them. I don't recall having to take Texas history....
  21. Questions about supplies

    Hmmm..... Uniforms, shoes, stethescope, drug guides, NCLEx study books, a good planner, scrubs for lab (required for us), rolling backpack, lunch stuff (box and Tupperware stuff), water bottle,...
  22. I am reading my syllabus correctly???!!!??? Foley Cath's

    Hah! I would be freaking out for sure if it was required! We had to practice bed baths, feeing, oral care, and vital signs and that's about it on each other, and even the vital signs we practiced on...
  23. We start out doing 5 hour clinicals in an LTC and then move into the hospital for our 12 hours around week
