  1. How many nursing schools should I apply?

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

    I applied to one because at the time this was the only school whose pre reqs I had completed to get into. Luckily I got in. But I definately had plans to apply to four schools for spring if this...

  2. Skipping a rotation and still graduating?!?!?

    lovedijah replied to veggie530's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other poster. How did they run out of space? Unless other students failed the class in other semesters, and have to take it now. Even then, you would think they would account for this...

  3. That question all nursing students get: why do you want to be a nurse?

    lovedijah replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I feel so "typical" saying this.. but I wanted to help people, make a decent living and have a portable job since my husband is military. I didn't want to be a teacher, so nursing seemed like a way...

  4. Uniforms

    lovedijah replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Ours are OK. If I had a choice, I wouldn't wear these. But I've seen things more terrible. My friend had a white uniform and to me that seemed so weird. I would never wear a white uniform unless I HAD...

  5. Am I insane to try this?

    lovedijah replied to Jennie.K's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would hold off on the EKG class and put all your energy into the other classes. That way you can have the weekends for you and the kids and hopefully to catch a breather from

  6. I would give anything...

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

    I can relate to you. I'm 26 and feel like nursing is "IT" for me. I finally know what I want to do. Before I got my acceptable letter I was so nervous and felt so upset about the possibility of not...

  7. Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

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

    I think it really just depends on what class you're taking. I wouldn't take a class that you think will be difficult, online. For instance, the only section open for A&P was online.. so I took it...

  8. More expensive, shorter program, or wait for longer, less expensive program

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

    My husband went to Drexel for engineering, so we love Drexel! Great school! But I wouldn't pay 41,500 for a BSN, unless it was my last option. Do you want to get a Master's someday? I imagine you're...

  9. What did you take to orientation?

    lovedijah replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    Mine is July 10th. We haven't been told how long it is, just a start time and that we need to bring our drivers license. I was just planning to bring a pen and

  10. Anyone registered for Fall 2012 classes yet?

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

    We register next week. I'm taking Intro to Pharm & Clinical Calculations, and Nursing Fundamentals/Clinical. Good plan! Hope everything works out for

  11. Working nightshifts

    lovedijah replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked nights, I slept as soon as I got home. I'd get off at 7 and sleep until about 12 or 1. Then I'd take a nap at night before work. I always felt so weird on that

  12. The education level of nurses: the general trends

    lovedijah replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    My previous degrees were in sociology and education. I'm a LPN student. Our course is very similiar to ADN's in terms of clinicals. Med surg 1-4, maternity and nursing leadership. They just take more...

  13. Lying about a med to a psych patient

    lovedijah replied to cel58's topic in Emergency

    You people are better than me. I worked in a group home for people with severe mental disabilities. We had no restraints. The only thing we could do is call the police to take them to a hospital or...

  14. Nursing and sexual abuse history

    lovedijah replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to your situation, but for some reason.. I don't fear the situations that may arise. I agree you should continue to talk to your therapist, but also consider volunteering. I feel bad...

  15. How many times can you take the teas

    lovedijah replied to JBISHUN21's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It depends on your school, honestly. I know its confusing.. but it really does. You may be at a school where they will only take scores from their test center. At which case.. though technically you...

  16. How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    lovedijah replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    I start in August. For me it helps to think about what I'm nervous about and decide if I can do anything about it. I'm nervous about the math involved. Im going to borrow a math book and go over...

  17. Accepted into the LVN program!

    lovedijah replied to txhopeful13's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats!!!

  18. Do I need to take microbiology before taking teas? :(

    lovedijah replied to futurenurse2016's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I imagine you'd be taking version 5. Microbiology is not covered on the TEAS. Let me rephrase that. You could probably benefit from taking microbiology, but microbiology is not covered on the test...

  19. How many times can you take the teas

    lovedijah replied to JBISHUN21's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    At my school, you can take it once a semester. But only 3 times. However, if you register through ATI I've *heard* it's 3 times a year. Not entirely sure. I really think it depends on your school....

  20. I'm never goin to reach my destination

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

    Often times there is a long road from where we are NOW to where we want to BE. I wish I had the magic solution on how to come to terms with this.. but I don't. The bigger issue is- you're doing...

  21. Good Samaritan Law

    lovedijah replied to Kyasi's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a waitress a man started choking at work. Another waitress ran over and started beating on his back and the steak bone came flying out. Long story short, the man then complains the waiter...

  22. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    lovedijah replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    It irks me some people just don't get it. All this talk of "But I don't understand", "The male nurses have seen it all". Not everything is meant for you to "get" or "understand". Some things are...

  23. Are there really enough jobs???

    lovedijah replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    THANK YOU! Education- No gurantee Engineering- No gurantee Anything else you can think of- No gurantee You can barely get a job at McDonalds these days. Easier said than done, but perhaps new nurses...

  24. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    lovedijah replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I see no problem with it. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with a male nurse/doctor or

  25. My rose colored glasses got knocked off!

    lovedijah replied to mikala3's topic in General Nursing

    I am still only a student, yet this feels like my last job. A HOT MESS. I don't think it's nursing, I think it's your job. As the PP said.. if you have your golden year of experience- get out of there...
