  1. First day reality check

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Students

    So today, I sat in my very first nursing class all fresh faced and ready to rock. And then my professors drop the bomb- "those of you who try and work full time will be the ones who do not make it in...

  2. RN-BSN or RN-MSN?

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello :) I am currently in an ADN program with the aspiration of becoming an NP someday. I know I'll need at least a Masters to get there and that there are direct entry RN-MSN programs out there....

  3. First day reality check

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the advice! I do feel it can be done and I don't mind working hard. I'm just afraid of failing out. I did work full time the past two years while doing my prerequisites, but this is...

  4. First week of Nursing School and I am off to a bad start...Help!

    2bNurseCai replied to ShineyNickelRN's topic in General Students

    First of all, I am so, so sorry to hear about your brother. I can't even imagine what you must be going through. As for school, have you considered putting it off a semester to give yourself time to...

  5. Organization and shoe question for new nursing student..

    2bNurseCai replied to ko115's topic in General Students

    I had a pair of New Balance sneakers that I finally got rid of today after two years of working in a nursing home full time, school full time, and generally beating the crap out of then constantly. I...

  6. Anxiety

    2bNurseCai replied to adamsmom2's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That happens to me sometimes- I work in a nursing home. I'll be falling asleep after my shift and think "Did I finish everything? Did I give everything needed on report?" etc. Lately I've even been...

  7. Nursing school and working

    2bNurseCai replied to mcguenzi's topic in General Students

    I'm right there with you! I'm starting a full time RN program in two weeks while working full time in a nursing home. It's going to be crazy, but I think we can both do it!! :) all the best luck to...

  8. First ever nursing assignment

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So today I received the assignments I need to complete for when school starts in 2 weeks. At first I thought this would be plenty of time- but then read the first chapter I need to read and got...

  9. First ever nursing assignment

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for all the support. I know it doesn't do much to get worked up before the program even starts, but I'm kind of a chronic worrier hahaha I was just wondering though- when you are assigned a...

  10. First ever nursing assignment

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Cmor, You had better grades in AP than I did! But it's comforting knowing I'm not the only person who's freaking out. It makes me feel silly cause I know I'm smart enough to do this but part of me...

  11. First ever nursing assignment

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you. I'm also going to look at my objectives list and make flash cards based on that. Also I decided to grab the study guide that goes with

  12. First ever nursing assignment

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Haha thanks, breathing is important And the assignment is just the reading itself, but I want to develop better studying and learning habits other than just reading the chapter. And once I read the...

  13. Are there any nurses/future nurses willing to mentor new nursing students

    2bNurseCai replied to RNintraining72's topic in General Students

    Oh yes, wonderful idea! I could benefit from this as well. Or perhaps new nursing students could "buddy up" with another new nursing student to use as a support system and study buddy when needed

  14. Online BSN while doing RN?

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have read that there are some online BSN programs that will allow you to work on your BSN at the same time as you are getting your ADN. Anyone ever heard of this? Can anyone recommend any schools?...

  15. Finding Focus Amidst Turmoil

    2bNurseCai replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    I am so comforted to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. I too, am not personally connected to the situation, nor am I religious. I spent all night last night trying to figure out why this has...

  16. Pathophysiology

    2bNurseCai replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    Pathophysiology isn't required for my ADN program either. I took it last semester though and kept my book, so hopefully it will help me put some pieces together when I start NS this

  17. Reviewing A and P

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm starting to review my A and P for the beginning of nursing school for the fall. Anyone know of any good (free!) online resources that I could use to self check?

  18. The "one thing"

    2bNurseCai replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I've worked as a CNA for over a year and I've never been really bothered by anything yet. But I know when I start clinical that I will be terrified if/when I work with really bad burns on the face or...

  19. Leadership in Nursing

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Students

    I work in a nursing home where I am the person in charge when I come into work- I work under my bosses license and essentially do an LPNs job. Something I've has trouble with is how to stand up for...

  20. Leadership in Nursing

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how it works. My boss is an RN and myself and other women who pass meds are "RPs"- responsible person. We're technically a level four rest home (that really should be a nursing home given...

  21. Leadership in Nursing

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    I thought about it but I'm so nervous. Anytime I've ever tried to address an aide with an issue, i always end up feeling like some kind of anal retentive person. I know it sounds silly but I have a...

  22. What next?

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Students

    This is premature, but I always love thinking ahead, soooo... I'm starting nursing this fall in a two year community college program. After that, I know I want to continue my education but I'm not...

  23. Continuing education after ADN

    2bNurseCai posted a topic in General Nursing

    I posted this on the student forum as well, but I wanted to post this here too to see if I could get some different answers from those already in the field. This is premature, but I always love...

  24. What next?

    2bNurseCai replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

    I didn't apply for a post Bach RN because I don't have the finances or the credit/loaning power to do so. Also, my GPA when I graduated was only a 2.9 and I think doing it this way gives me a chance...

  25. School Bag

    2bNurseCai replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much!! I've been searching for weeks for a good rolling backpack that wasn't too big or too expensive. This is perfect! Just emailed myself the link :) you
