  1. Share your motivation, please!

    lovedijah replied to NightNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds corny, but my Husband. He's in the Air Force. While he loves his job NOW, I know this life is taxing and very hard at times. I just want him to have a "choice" and not have to renlist...

  2. Financial aid at community colleges as second degree student

    lovedijah replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school. I got Stafford loans as a second degree student and had well over 120 credits. So long as you arent maxed out, you should be able to get them. Even now, I'm at a technical...

  3. TEAS V Science Section

    lovedijah replied to Tenshi_No_Shikatsu's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Ive heard stories of people saying there are things on the TEAS test, not covered in the ATI. Things like weather, clouds and rocks. Which I guess is possible because that's under life science. I...

  4. Just a quick question about your clinical schedule????

    lovedijah replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    There is only 25 of us. We all go to the same clinical site, at the same time. For the entire program the clinical is on the same days, at the same time. Our classes are also on the same days and...

  5. Organization for Nursing School

    lovedijah replied to Michaela, RN's topic in General Students

    I use a single subject notebook for each class, and I have a folder for each. I debated on binders, but I've always been rough with binders. Papers would fall out or rip. I like that in using a...

  6. How long is your commute to nursing school?

    lovedijah replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in General Students

    School is about 40 minutes away. Clinicals are about

  7. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    lovedijah replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What can you major in these days that gets you a guranteed job? Someone please tell me. Not education, nursing, engineering, you can barely get into the military. Heck at this rate, why even go to...

  8. What will you do after you graduate and take NCLEX?

    lovedijah replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    Hoping to finally start our family! LOL. When I zone off from school work, I am most likely pinning nurseries on pinterest. LOL. It's bad. I need to

  9. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    lovedijah replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two hours away, you are looking at a four hour driving time there and back. I'm sure people have done this, but it's not ideal. How long is the program? I suppose you could rough it for a year. But...

  10. Cliques within LPN classes

    lovedijah replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had my orientation this month and it was definately "get in where you fit in". HAHA. Younger. Older. Talkative people. Guys. The instructors said that first semester you get randomly paired with...

  11. Im scared out of my mind for Anatomy

    lovedijah replied to NurseLizzy13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P now over summer session. It has been a challenge. I will read the stuff over and over and over, and still I don't get A's like I normally do. I agree with what other people have...

  12. School withholding transcripts, diploma and threatening to not send application

    lovedijah replied to Trixyp's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree. Call an

  13. Nursing school + working - WWYD?

    lovedijah replied to WorkingTowardsBSN's topic in General Students

    I'm in a similar situation. I have decided to take the job and promise myself that if it gets to be too much I will leave the job. I am lucky that I don't "need" to work, but the money and experience...

  14. Not even a word of English

    lovedijah replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Initially I said, "It is what it is, maybe we as nurses need to adapt somewhat". Now I think I may have been slightly off. When I was a server, it was common for us to get people who didn't speak...

  15. Question about student nurses

    lovedijah replied to shortNsweetRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be concerned. This situation sounds like a free for all, and at the end of the day- it's you who will have to answer for her shoddy practices if things go wrong. I'm also shaking my head that...

  16. Nursing and Emotions - Need advice/encouragement

    lovedijah replied to NurseSara0214's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is such a tough issue because people view crying differently. Some people view it as being "weak", some people see it as being "compassionate". Some people won't mind you crying about...

  17. Not even a word of English

    lovedijah replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a touchy and sensitive topic for people. Interesting post. I have actually lost jobs for not being bilingual. Or maybe I shouldn't say "lost", but speaking another language would have given me...

  18. Direct entry Msn for non-nursing BA?

    lovedijah replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Students

    I am in your situation as well. I live in Georgia. I graduate from LPN school next year and have a bachelors already. Ideally, I would have gotten a BSN from the gate- but it didn't work out that way,...

  19. A&P

    lovedijah replied to Texasharp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have the chance to take A&P alone, I would. If taking it alone will hold you up or delay you from graduating (or whatever your goal is) I would take it with the other classes. But in a...

  20. Financial Aid

    lovedijah replied to bunnyfungo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone else to do the appeal. My school approves lots of appeals under the terms the student can only take classes required for the degree. As long as you haven't maxed out in federal...

  21. Start Early and Pay More or Wait and Pay Less?

    lovedijah replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would hold off and try to go for the scholarship. I only say this, because you are working now. Worse case scenario to happen is you will pay out of pocket. Yet if you wait, you can save money- so...

  22. Taking ADD medication

    lovedijah replied to damrcngrl95's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree with the previous poster. As long as you have an rx for it, you're fine. Nothing they can really say or

  23. Should you arrive on time or super early for job interviews?

    lovedijah replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I had an interview recently and the other person arrived 30 minutes early (during my interview). The hiring manager was so annoyed and kept going on and on about "This guy is taking it too far. He's...

  24. Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    lovedijah replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've always said some people need diaries. Not everything is meant to be shared with the world, or everyone that you've known since 8th grade. My cousin profiled her divorce on Facebook even "checking...

  25. Why are people so ignorant?

    lovedijah replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some people are just miserable (and evil). I wish I could say more, but I can't. Some people just get no joy in seeing others happy. Some people act as if someone else being happy, is taking away from...
