So, I'm going to speak with this person in the HR dept. of the hospital at which I applied for 3 different nurse internships. I have 2 classmates -both married- who recently applied, went and talked to a specific person in HR and now they are both hi...

I have my very first clinical day coming up in about a week from tomorrow. I have a pretty good idea of what I need to know/gather for pre-clinical, I just don't know what I do once I get there that morning. Report is first, then vitals(we're suppose...

Thank you to all who left me some great advice and tips. I'm going to be reading this thread over and over until Tuesday! Lol

So, I'm in the first semester of my nursing school program and the school does this free dental clinic for kids every year and I volunteered to get some practice and start doing things out of my comfort zone. I've never worked with kids before, espec...

I am also in my first semester of nursing school and it has definitely been overwhelming! I was just griping to my friend earlier about how I can't seem to find the time to workout like I used to and how frustrated I am with the amount of studying an...

So I'm wondering if anyone else had the same idea as me and decided to start a blog about their journey through the pre reqs and/or through nursing school? I'll be starting my second semester of pre reqs this fall and I started a blog because I thoug...

Okay, so my best friend knows a girl who's best friend has been an RN for 10 years now and she brought me up in conversation I guess and told her how I just received my acceptance letter and was excited and how I've been a straight A student and was ...

I had to pick up my letter yesterday from my CC because they emailed me saying they sent it out last week and it was returned to them! I was so panicked and anxious the whole drive there. She took the letter out of a folder and it wasn't even in an e...

Congratulations to everyone!! Were all gonna kick some butt! Let's do this! :-)

I got in to the RN program at my CC in the panhandle! Just found out yesterday. I cried tears of joy I was so relieved and thrilled! Go us!! Good luck to everyone! :-)

Thanks and a big congrats to you as well! :-)

Withdraw, if you honestly know you won't have the time that is required to study properly and thoroughly. I took a day off work here and there while taking classes to get more study time in and that is the ONLY reason I made A's. But I know you may n...

Just say, 'No'. People are afraid to use that word. I find that it works quite efficiently.

I am (hopefully) starting the program at my community college in the spring of 2014 and will graduate spring 2016. Doing developmental psych and pharmacology over the summer now. And health math in the fall just as something to do to keep me fresh an...

I would take it over the fall but if I want to have all my pre Reqs completed so when they look at my application they see I just completed them all, then I have to take it over the summer. I've taken extra days off from work through the summer just ...

Is anyone else doing this? I had someone tell me today they are taking it right now this spring semester and its overwhelming. Not to mention taking it in a shorter amount of time over the summer. I'm also taking dev. Psych with it. Am I insane?

Got a 92% overall. I did very well on the grammar, math, and reading(100%, 94%, 92%, respectively), but I was really bummed out about the vocabulary(82%). The reason being, most(about half-three quarters) of the words/terms asked about in the vocabul...

Yes this is my problem. I paid to take the hesi for the second time and its tomorrow and I completely forgot to register in the health science building. I'm going to show up of course at 8:00 and figure out what I can do to register to take it on a d...

I'm only taking microbiology & the lab with two other classes, so technically it's only 3 classes but lab counts as a 4th, and I work full time. I AM overwhelmed. I study every moment that i am not working or sleeping or in class, no joke. And i ...

Every pre req I've taken can help me in some way with preparing for nursing school EXCEPT this darn music class I had to pick as an elective!! It's consuming all my time and I hate it lol.

Nursing home, dr. Office, nursing aide or a caregiver. Any of these will give you some kind of experience in the field and/or with patients. But probably not a lot of patient care/contact unless you work in a nursing home/home health care.

I know some areas differ in their demand or nurses but I think very few would not be able to find any job at all. Maybe you will have to look around and it may not be the job you want, but a job nonetheless. I live in Panama City, fl and there are SO...

I was very excited but also worried that I won't be excepted. That ill have all A's on my final report and a high hesi score and someone will still beat me for the spot. But all I can do is my very best and pray for the rest! Lol

How would you go about doing that? I had no idea you could. That's pretty great though.

Does anyone have this problem? Okay here's my thing: I don't have a problem being busy with school and studying. I work 40+ hours a week and attend school full time in order to complete all the pre Reqs prior to September to make it in time for the n...
