  1. I got the job!

    RainbowDash replied to pockunit's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A big fat CONGRATS to you! ANY experience is good experience! I hope you enjoy

  2. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash posted a topic in General Students

    Today I ran out at 9 am to run errands. Errands got postponed so I went to school to pick up the scrubs they ordered me, and my first book (DevPsych). Surprise - didn't we tell you? We no longer...

  3. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I'm turning 28 next month and have birthed FOUR children (!!!!) and my OB decided a hysto was in order due to fibroids and cysts and all manner of ugliness - so that, thank the good Lord, is something...

  4. Being an ugly nurse

    RainbowDash replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would like to make this small statement: the responses on this thread in particular, as well as a few others, have sufficiently restored my faith in humanity. Bless you all for being such...

  5. Being an ugly nurse

    RainbowDash replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To add one last thing, I'd like to offer one of my favorite quotes: "Ugly is something INSIDE a person. You have to decide: am I ugly or

  6. Being an ugly nurse

    RainbowDash replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but in today's society - especially in America - looks are put on much higher of a pedestal than they really deserve. This leads to people feeling self conscious,...

  7. Being an ugly nurse

    RainbowDash replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh my, I posted a week or so ago with similar concerns, only mine were about my weight and not my looks. The advice and support I received were very, VERY helpful. I can tell you that I am a hard...

  8. McGraw-Hill's "5 TEAS Practice Tests" book?

    RainbowDash replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Go with the ATI study guide - it really does help. I had six days to study with basically zero math and science knowledge, and i got 92.9 on reading, 90.0 on math, 72.9 on science, and 83.3 on...

  9. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Good gracious, white bottoms too? I really have no right to complain at all then... and my heart goes out to you!!!

  10. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Yeah I may try that, and yeah the school is SACS and NLNAC accredited - I would never waste my precious time or money on a school that would set me up for failure! Thanks for the tips though - I'll...

  11. Chemistry and I are not friends.....

    RainbowDash replied to tdee17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have to take Chem and I thank my lucky stars, because Chem confuses me to no end. The only sciences I have to take are AP1 and 2, and Micro. I do have to take a worthless English Lit class...

  12. DEP2004 - how was it for you?

    RainbowDash posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So even though I've been accepted into nursing core, they require us to do our pre-reqs while enrolled in the program, actual core begins a year from now. My school does a one class per month format...

  13. DEP2004 - how was it for you?

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

    Thanks! I hope that's what mine is like because that sounds a lot more fun than your typical 10 page APA paper on a subject so dry you could sand walls with it

  14. DEP2004 - how was it for you?

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

    I hope I get to do that! My Grandma is the best person I know, and she's 80 and still kicking butt painting her house and maintaining the prettiest garden on Long Island! That would be soooo awesome....

  15. Stay Away From The Drama

    RainbowDash replied to pookyp's topic in General Students

    I see it all the time, sadly... you'd think since we are grown ups with big girl underoos we should be able to act civil. The school I'm starting next week is the same school I previously studied Med...

  16. School using TEAS as assessment exam?

    RainbowDash replied to Nursing2102's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    When do you have to take it? I studied during a week with a major car accident that totalled my van and I ended up with whiplash LOL... crazy things happen at the worst possible time. So I only had...

  17. McGraw-Hill's "5 TEAS Practice Tests" book?

    RainbowDash replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It's very similar if not perfect, but after you have read the ENTIRE ATI book, done both quizzes in back as well as the questions scattered throughout the text, you should be able to pass. I bought...

  18. Personal Relationships While in School

    RainbowDash replied to RachelZ0918's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like what Ashley said and I would like to add on. My core doesn't start til Sep 3 2013, but I've already been accepted and talked to the Dean of Nursing, who stressed to me the rigors - she even...

  19. GPA worries

    RainbowDash posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so back when I was young(er) and reckless, I always knew in my heart I wanted to be a nurse, but a lot of family said I didn't have it in me. I ended up giving up on a couple of programs I hated...

  20. GPA worries

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

    Oops. Feel sort of dumb now. Was so flustered that it didn't even occur to me. Thanks for the replies

  21. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I actually kinda like our scrubs in appearance, nice navy scrubs and a nice white real scrub top (read: no polos or button downs or other atrocities) and our seal is embroidered on along with...

  22. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I pitched enough of a fit and will be picking up my first two pairs tomorrow. I was extremely upset. The school costs a fortune because it is a private accelerated school - but not a diploma mill, as...

  23. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Yep. ZERO substitutions. And they are literally the worst, roughest, cheaply made scrubs ever invented. I know I sound like a snot - at least I get to GO to nursing school and i AM very grateful......

  24. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    RainbowDash replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    I feel you. My hair is past my shoulder blades and curly and THICK - every hair dresser I have EVER seen says I have the thickest hair they've ever encountered. When I wear my hair down, I spend two...

  25. Smoking and the Nursing Student

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Mamacita, I totally feel for you, I know full well how hard it is to quit especially while stressed. I figure since my first year in my ADN program is the pre-requisite courses, I can try to quit NOW...
