  2. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    FDW630 replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Honestly, who cares?? It is not discrimination, and it is two hours of your life. Nobody is saying you can't become a nurse if you refuse to go along with a tradition that you think is stupid. It is...

  3. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    FDW630 replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Seeing as how the cap is part of a female uniform, it really isn't sexual discrimination. A guy wearing the cap would be about like OP wearing a jock strap. Should they make men wear stockings too? I...

  7. Should I just cut my loses and choose another career path?

    FDW630 replied to nella197's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school looks at overall GPA. My advice would be to meet with an advisor at your school, or the school you plan to apply to for nursing, and see what they look for. That's what they're there for. I...

  8. Pinning and graduation ceremonies when you didn't pass

    FDW630 replied to allisonjdean's topic in General Students

    I can see where you're coming from, but it's no different than someone who didn't graduate high school being allowed to walk and receiving a blank "diploma" instead of the real one that those did pass...

  9. Application Packets.....to folder or not to folder?

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

    What is the difference between mailing the papers in a manila envelope, and mailing them in a manila folder, inside a manila envelope? I'd save postage and a folder. Odds are, the school has a system...

    FDW630 replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    What is a "stress-free final?" Lol. It is a good feeling to not be on the line. Woo for you! Good luck!

  12. Freaking out! Vaccination requirements

    FDW630 replied to blueyes27's topic in General Students

    My school requires the positive titer OR physician's documentation of disease. Do you have it noted in your medical records anywhere that you had chicken pox? That might be enough. Im in the same...

  16. Check-off anxiety

    FDW630 replied to southerngal2108's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice, but you are not alone! I am the same way. I would rather be in clinicals with a real patient than be interacting with a manikin in front the scrutinizing watch of a lab...

    FDW630 replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    Oi Vey is right. I feel you! I only have two kids, but I am also a stay at home mom and my poor husband has no idea. However, I am not super scheduled or organized...but I don't really have to be. My...

  18. Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell

    FDW630 replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Students

    I know plenty of people who would thrive with a preceptor like the OP, but I am definitely not one of them. I don't need skittles and rainbows and hugs, but I also don't need the cold and militant...

  19. C's in non prerequisite courses for nursing?

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

    It depends on what GPA your nursing program takes into consideration. I had the exact same problem...dual enrolled in high school and got two C's because I was a dumb kid. My school looks at overall...

  21. Lippincott Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN?

    FDW630 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is the NCLEX review book that my school recommends. I haven't seen really anyone suggesting it on this site. Can anyone give me any feedback on it? Is it worth buying?

    FDW630 replied to rafaeia's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I've heard several people say that the online practice tests are harder than the actual TEAS. That they scored lower on those. I did have several earth science questions on my test. No mesoderm etc....

  24. I think I want out, end semester 1

    FDW630 replied to Katyvent7's topic in General Students

    Oh my goodness...we had to learn this recently, and I had to stifle a laugh. I don't think I will ever grasp the idea of a nursing diagnosis. I was also never so irritated at having to study anything...
