  1. financial aid and course load

    phuretrotr replied to Alexandra19's topic in General Students

    To make things even easier, you might look into if your school offers any online english/art classes. You generally need a few more of these classes for a BSN which you may pursue later in your...

    phuretrotr replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    phuretrotr replied to tmzmckinney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. All Men Shift

    phuretrotr replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    That was not directed towards you but towards the OP. I only quoted you because I think your feelings match those of the majority of nurses on this forum. However, we are not going to lie down and...

  9. All Men Shift

    phuretrotr replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    As do I. And I certainly would not go on a nursing forum (or anywhere else for that matter) and exclaim how much better it is to work with/be around a certain sex, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity,...

    phuretrotr replied to UofLRN16's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Pearson vue trick ? work if you phoned to schedule

    phuretrotr replied to srg1186's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Vitals

    phuretrotr replied to ahughes821's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I first started learning how to take BP, it helped to watch the needle bounce. One thing you have to be careful of is that even though you can see the needle bounce, it is NOT the actual systolic...

  13. Can i ever become a nurse?

    phuretrotr replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, a D in psychology, at least I would think, would be overlooked if you excelled in your sciences classes (i.e. A&P, Microbiology, Chemistry, etc. etc.) I think it is an important...

  14. All Men Shift

    phuretrotr replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I noticed a huge difference in the past month in regards to the unit culture when we had an all female shift this past month. When working with all females, the shift just seems way way better. The...

  18. I've passed the NCLEX-RN and you can too!

    phuretrotr posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It feels quite unreal to be able to call myself an RN now (and I honestly feel like an impostor still) BUT I have done it and you can too! I thought I would give you all my experiences and study tips...

  19. The stuff they didnt teach

    phuretrotr replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had some of those oddball diseases. You don't know if it is right or not but I just suggest to go with your gut instinct... That usually works because you don't know what you know

    phuretrotr replied to Sbrewster's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    phuretrotr replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to reiterate that your speciality choice may change, it is very true! BUT, don't omit that speciality entirely. I went into nursing school thinking all I wanted to do was peds. Dead wrong. I...

    phuretrotr replied to Beaks1981's topic in General Students

  25. Did you keep all PAPER notes?

    phuretrotr replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students
