Nursing school is a serious challenge for most everyone. After reading so, so many posts here about the tough issues mothers deal with, my heart goes out to the moma's challenges I read about . I really, reallllly don't understand how seemingly the...

A wonderful and helpful old thread but still applicable... >>>>> Nurse-To-Be-Joy said: "I'm not yet in nursing school (will probably start next fall), so I'm curious about this. Are we gonna be half naked with our lab partners? What ...

Love the helpful suggestions! May I ask: in most of these posts when posters say they are "getting ready to start NS", does it mean in a four year BSN program they are now at their junior year and will be doing Nursing-only coursework and clinicals?...

Hmm. I've never heard anyone from any state relay to me that there is a 'personal' objection. There is a considerable difference between "Well it was just their 'personal' decision to not complete the recommended vaccination schedule for little Sara...

Juh_Lee -- you don't know how inspiring your post is - so appreciate you sharing with us!! You go ahead and work that path YOU made now young lady ;o)!! Blessings:yeah:

Hi -- after my informational meeting at the meet-n-greet, we were told by two different staff members, or rather they casually 'suggested' -- take the NLN-PAX early in your pre reqs in case you need to retest etc. I am really wondering if many take i...

Very cool to hear someone say that it isn't hard! Hopefully my amazon.com order will arrive soon so I can actually look at the study guide etc. Thanks very much Cayenne06.

**Really, really surprised to have read what I have through older threads about this issue. I've read any published study/research online I can find about the BSN/AN-RN issue; searched through info at the library, read biographies, periodical journ...

Woot; congratulations!! Post here from time to time about your journey please. Its fun to see your excitement about the equipment etc., I get that 100 percent ;o)!

:yeah:Naenae - so awesome; grats on your upcoming position!

Yes Pamleper, agreed...getting into even the prereq courses seems a challenge ;o/ Best wishes for getting lucky and finishing up those classes you still need! And btw Aflack41 -- sort of derailing this thread a little, but am curious. Have you been...

Sundance - thanks so much for sharing all this; really helps:). I think I've decided only to take any of the non-science pre reqs online. I was interested to see you write that the anatomy part of the TEAS V didn't seem super difficult. I guess obvi...

Wild guess...really wild...but are they disposable but the NH is trying to use them longer/more than recommended ie re-use ie save buckaroo's?? Gross. I'm sure anyone who has a Nursing license is well aware of the difference between simple disinfecti...

I'm sure when you get the tour you will be able to ask questions and/or get the application package for that school. Most have some sort of entrance exam -- TEAS, etc. They will be the best source for you to find out about the specifics. Don't wor...

RCBR - wow, I so appreciate your commentary to the op. Very helpful for all of us. I have my suspicions that there are a myriad of outstanding LPN's out there - both experience-wise and bedside-manner who choose not to go on with studying for the RN...

I saw that movie and of course we all know Hollywood's version of life is not reality even when based on true stories, however, the situation portrayed was of a patient either in withdrawals with high anxiety etc - he was combative or for whatever re...

I can't count how many of the following types of posts I've read here and on other sites in the past six months: "...I have a decent offer in an LTC, but am interviewing also for a hospital position. I know I need to get experience really however/whe...

"...because in order to gain (extraordinarily MORE) than recoup uncovered costs of the uninsured..." -- There, fixed that for ya (not really you, but that often used phrase or explanation). I have no doubt disguised in many of the healthcare rate hi...

naw, to the hells, no. i will work another non-healthcare job at the same or better rate if i need to for however long i need to. my nursing training will never be a waste; i will use it in other capacities volunteering to help those who are in need...

Thanks everyone - so many great people here who take the time to share info and experiences. Yup, I think it is going to be more than a little complex for her to do this, though she is no stranger to working hard. I admire her. For myself, my childr...

Thanks so much for the information AngieFaye76! allnurses.com is such a great forum to come and get info we need, and lots of encouragement as well on specific topics. I am still in pre req's -- still haven't decided about LPN or RN. I have family i...

Loved your last post Boston; helpful tips except for one. I say BS on the single mom criterion/slam, though I know there is absolutely no way to defend against it... aside from being hired and working your position in just as responsible a way as th...

Cstatic - your post stated you didn't think people were perhaps getting the information they need about 'appropriate' dressing for different circumstances. I think that although there may truly be exceptions as you mention; the majority of people do ...

Viva and others; thanks for sharing these tips. I truly found it hard to read/hard to believe many of those situations are actually happening. In today's job market especially - seriously get some advice from mom,dad or a trusted friend. Maybe t...
