  1. Nerves are kicking in!!

    FDW630 replied to jenniferkampy's topic in General Students

    I tell myself exactly this when I'm feeling like crap about myself. I look at the students in the semesters ahead of me and think, if they can do it, so can I. I made the President's list first...

  2. Opinion on your uniforms?

    FDW630 replied to green34's topic in General Students

    We have black drawstring unisex bottoms and red unisex tops. Awful fit. The nurses on the floor we had clinical on last semester hated them. They said all that red made them

  3. CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    FDW630 replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    But why would you want to spend time and money at a place that apparently provides poor enough of an education that it can't keep an accreditation? How hard will it be to find a job if you have this...

  4. Polk State College Fall '13

    FDW630 replied to Lilypad22's topic in Florida Nursing

    Also, Garretts by winter haven hospital sells our tops with the patch already sewn on, and Polk students get a small discount. I got mine for $15 each.

  5. Polk State College Fall '13

    FDW630 replied to Lilypad22's topic in Florida Nursing

    Congrats! :) I think it depends on the instructor, but most everyone wore either the basic nurse mates or some sort of sneaker/walking shoe. I have nurse mates because I didn't know what they allowed...

  6. Facebook: Should I Just Give in and Join?

    FDW630 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

    A different perspective: Im under 30, I don't have one and won't. I had one in the past so I am familiar with it. My study buddies in school both have one and have access to our class page so I have...

  7. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    FDW630 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask why it is such a horrible thing for a person to choose a career for the money and security? Not everyone has a dream career to chase. Some people try several different careers before they...

  8. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    FDW630 replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    It must be something in the water fountains. Our head professor (we have 4 each term) actually told me in a sim lab "I don't know what it is about this class but most of you guys are just emotional or...

  9. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    FDW630 replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    Exactly. That's why I keep to myself. The sharing of grades and comparing of projects really stirs up my competitive streak, which cranks up my stress level. Better to just lay low. I have plenty of...

  11. Tech vs. RN

    FDW630 replied to ER Soldire's topic in Emergency

    Yes! This over again. This thread got really petty, really quickly. It speaks more of you than the person you're talking about when you stoop to

  12. How many of you...

    FDW630 replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    We have to take it in our last semester of school, but it doesn't count towards our grade or decide if we pass or

  13. My husband said...

    FDW630 replied to stephanie.'s topic in General Students

    My poor hubs...I'm on summer break but this week was a great example of how last semester went. My sister, who lives out of state, had major surgery this week so I left him with the kids and took a...

  14. Denied for a mistake made by the University

    FDW630 replied to meganko27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, appeal it. I'm sorry you're in this crappy

  15. Did everyone have a 4.0?

    FDW630 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I had a 3.3 when I was accepted, and I just finished my first semester of nursing school with a 4.0 for the semester. Apparently this style of testing is how I think! Your prereq GPA is no kind of...

  16. What is the grading in you school

    FDW630 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    90-100=A 85-89.9=B 80-84.9=C Makes test time

  17. How do I evaluate a sthethoscope?

    FDW630 replied to tinks599's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course the pricier scopes are clearer, but if you are on a budget and a student, the classic II is fine. You miss finer diagnostic details, but you hear more than enough for school and assessments....

  18. Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    FDW630 replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    Yikes. How does that work? Is any grade less than 99-100% considered a B or lower? If we get an A we get a 4.0. Doesn't matter if the A was a 92 or a 100. Anything less than an 80 is failing in my...

    FDW630 replied to Lilypad22's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just took my final this past Wednesday. Never been so happy to be done with a

  20. Rent vs Buy

    FDW630 replied to lcraig0011's topic in General Students

    I would check with someone in the program. In my program, we use the books for all four semesters, so if we rent them, we have to rerent them three times. It was cheaper to buy them. Make sure if you...

    FDW630 replied to Lilypad22's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not a problem. :) Are you in pharm

  22. Polk State College Fall '13

    FDW630 replied to Lilypad22's topic in Florida Nursing

    I cant speak for transition, but for generic I know the fall and spring semesters vary a little in their cutoff scores. I know several people got in with me this spring with 70-72. 79 is a pretty good...

  23. ADN w/ 4 yr old & 9 month old

    FDW630 replied to eagreen1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You absolutely can. :) I have a 6 and 7 year old, and several people in my class have babies at home. One had a baby halfway thru the semester! It will make a few things more of a challenge, but such...

  24. Data Dumping and Nursing School

    FDW630 replied to PookaTown's topic in General Students

    DEFINITELY review a&p. Focus on the cardiac and respiratory systems. I never took a chemistry class in my life, and I don't think it would have helped me. Nothing Chem related so far. :) Same with...

  25. Three months into an accelerated nursing school program...

    FDW630 replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Woohoo for you! Congrats! :) I just found out my final grade in pharm is an A, and I currently have an A in adult health 1 also...that final is Monday. It's such a good feeling to surprise yourself...
