    Virgilio replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    Virgilio replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in General Students

    I did the same thing just last week. We probably read the same article a few weeks ago. The Kinko's that I went to cut my soft bound books but, like you, couldn't cut my hard bound. Luckily they...

  5. Last minute studying for Pre-entrance exam! Help..

    Virgilio replied to HollyIsabelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure that you can do all of the math presented in that NLN-PAX book. Skip the vocabulary, none of those words will be on the test. Make sure that you can do the reading comprehension, I mean do...

  6. Has anybody here ever had to repeat a nursing course?

    Virgilio replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I decided to drop out of my ADN program in the 90's while in the final semester. After 13 years and a reasonably profitable career in another field I'm going back in January. So I'll be repeating...

  8. Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    Virgilio replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    For what it's worth I dropped out of nursing school in the 90's, when I was in my early 20's for many of the same reasons that you are describing. I followed other opportunities and happily earn pay...

  9. Anyone else feel like you are in that book, the emperors clothes?

    Virgilio replied to mas28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would get pretty tired of long johns or under armor after two to four years of clinicals, but I think that would work. If you go with the shorter option then anything but white boxers or boxer...

  11. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Virgilio replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

  13. Group projects

    Virgilio replied to NICU:)'s topic in General Students

    I'm going to offer a slightly different take on this subject, I've found in life that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. There's also an adage that applies here: "Grant me the strength to change...

  14. Breaking it to the boss...

    Virgilio posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the moment has passed that I had been dreading since I got hired, knowing that I was going to pursue nursing school. I've been here for less than a year so timing was everything. I've delayed...

  15. Breaking it to the boss...

    Virgilio replied to Virgilio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't tell you what a relief it is to have that behind me. Of course, a positive response from my boss is not necessarily a guarantee of the reality of the next 2 or so

  16. military service male nurse

    Virgilio replied to PinBall's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One thing I didn't realize about the post 911 bill until I started using it is that the 36 months refers to time spent in class and will last you for four years. In other words, if you attend class...

    Virgilio replied to Brkc56's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered online schools? I have a BS and I work full time as well. I also have a mortgage, two kids, day care bills, work benefits, etc. In short, no way I can quit and I have no...

  20. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    Virgilio replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in agony for waiting, this is a huge crossroad for me. I work in manufacturing now and make a decent salary, but I was a paramedic when younger and I want to go back to healthcare. I'm only...

  21. Ages of male nursing students?

    Virgilio replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll be starting an ADN program in the spring, which means two summers will go by. I'm 38 now, so I guess I'll be 40 when we graduate. That's plenty of time for a second

  22. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    Virgilio replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I was about to open a new thread on this subject. I dropped out of nursing school in the 90's and got a degree in something else. I kept all of my old textbooks, though, and they have been great...
