    sometimes i change my mind about becoming a nurse!

    BloomNurseRN replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not a PCT (although I have been looking for positions!) but just try to remember that being a nurse will be different. I'm sure it's hard when you're in that position but if it's really what you...

    Accreditation super important?

    BloomNurseRN replied to jduvall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is RIDICULOUSLY important. Acute care facilities do NOT look at you the same if you do not go to an accredited institution. If you want to move to another state, you may not be able to transfer...

    Nursing care plan for postpartum patient with normal delivery

    BloomNurseRN replied to Maedine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too am confused as to what you're asking for help with. Did you forget to post the link or actual question. And as RNsRWe stated, this is a pre-nursing forum. It's not the correct place to ask...

    Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    BloomNurseRN replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Hoosier69! I'm a fellow Hoosier myself! What campus do you attend? I'm a current ASN student in Bloomington. Please feel free to contact me or message me anytime if there's anything I can do...

    What to expect...

    BloomNurseRN replied to jk1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still a student but I love what RNsRWe had to say. I know that I got a LOT more experiences last year just by talking to the nurses and aids and letting them know I was happy to do ANYTHING....

    Length of LPN-BSN program

    BloomNurseRN replied to nursegreenwood's topic in Indiana State University

    I think that is very dependent on the school you are considering. Do you have a specific program in mind? Or did I miss

    Nursing Shoes??

    BloomNurseRN replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you absolutely can only afford something around $30-$40, there are lots of New Balance and Nike in that range that are all white and will get you through. That being said, I totally agree with...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Crazed_NS's topic in General Students

    You are totally normal! This is a whole new experience and I think a little fear is healthy. It keeps you from being over confident and not learning what you need to. I'm getting ready to start my...

    Loans just for living expenses

    BloomNurseRN replied to Doyelfamily75's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh wow, I wish I had advice but I'm not sure I do. If you have maxed out your loans, you may have to just REALLY try to stretch your income out until you can fill out a new FAFSA for next year, which...

    Take Teas before finishing prereqs or after?

    BloomNurseRN replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think it really depends on what pre-req's you've taken and what you're still lacking. I know I took the TEAS before taking chemistry and then of course I struggled a bit with that on the TEAS....

    Nursing School For Older Student

    BloomNurseRN replied to m9791l's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't speak to age discrimination when looking for a job (as I'm still a student myself!) but most schools don't look at age in any way. I know mine only looks at the 4 required pre-req's and the...

    Non-nursing major, pursuing nursing!

    BloomNurseRN replied to fruitypebbles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Obviously I think it's going to hurt your chances if a program you're considering looks at your overall GPA. As you stated though, that's not your only option. I'm currently in an ASN program that...

    How to become a RN with a BS in Biology?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Kelly185891's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think getting an ASN is "moving backward". It's a means to an end. You can earn an ASN, then work while going on to the BSN. We have a few people in my ASN class that already have...

    Pharmacology & Anatomy

    BloomNurseRN replied to NurseStudentTill2013's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I totally felt that way when I passed pharmacology in the spring!

    I'm about to take an exam in a few week's time...

    BloomNurseRN replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Students

    Just be prepared. I needed to have a 70 on my pharm final to pass (I know, not too much but I get test anxiety). I did everything I could to make sure I knew the material. I studied alone and in...

    Where can I find a list of antidepressants?

    BloomNurseRN replied to allysun1's topic in General Students

    This is a pretty good list of antidepressants. Depression Medications (Antidepressants). Once there you can look up individual drugs on drugs.com. You can also go to drugs.com and search for...

    would it really make a difference?

    BloomNurseRN replied to luvmykids0810's topic in General Students

    If I had the chance, and liked my employer, I would definitely do that. It could take some financial pressure off and you wouldn't have to worry about financial aid. And if you have the contract,...

    Nursing Student using food stamps

    BloomNurseRN replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    We do spaghetti once a week. My kids love it, it's cheap, it's easy, it's yummy and my husband always has enough left over for a lunch! All good things in my book.

    Nursing Student using food stamps

    BloomNurseRN replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    It's not easy but it's NOTHING to be ashamed of. I lost my job last year and we're now living on my husband's income and my unemployment. I'm taking my son to the public health department for his...

    Broke and about to be more broke!

    BloomNurseRN replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    Wow. This thread quickly spiraled out of control! I am so sorry. I totally understand your frustration. I am currently a full-time student and unemployed SAHM. I was actually the primary income...

    Need help with assignment

    BloomNurseRN replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm still a student so I can't help per se but you may try posting this under "https://allnurses.com/academic-nursing-research/". That might give you more responses. Good

    Starting in the fall

    BloomNurseRN replied to YELY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could not agree with this more! I know it's easy to want to get it done but take your time, focus on each class, and do your best. Nursing school is not easy but it's more of a different style of...

    ATI reviews

    BloomNurseRN replied to jvd90's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I swear by the TEAS study guide and tell anyone it's worth the money. I got a 74% the first time around and after using the study guide my second time around I received an 84%. I also definitely...

    Average TEAS V Score? Your score?

    BloomNurseRN replied to granolatrees's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took it last year and got an 84%. That was a good enough score for my ASN program and most people in my school were at or above 80%. There were a few with straight A's that got a high 70% score...

    Number and Operation questions on the TEAS V

    BloomNurseRN replied to Staringathemoon's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Honestly, it was a lot of basic algebra and conversions. If you can study the ATI study guide you will be set. I just looked at my results and that's the exact number of each type of math question I...
