  1. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thankfully my parents are very supportive. Right now I turned 23 and am just starting back to college. I probably won't be done until I'm closer to 30. My mom is an RN and she didn't get done with...

  2. Anyone NOT feel like they got hit by a truck?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just worked a double (16 hours) last night, slept 4 hours, and kept going all day. I have felt extremely exhausted at the end of some shifts. As I have improved by body mechanics while lifting I...

  3. What to expect on PM shift?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have worked every shift. Currently I am on second shift (2p-10p). And THANKFULLY we are going to all 12 hour shifts at my facility. 2:00: (usually clock in a few minutes early and get report) get to...

  4. Hospital Beep Syndrome

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to hypatiafaerie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (not yet, at least...getting my pre-req's currently) but I am a CNA and I do hear phantom call lights or bed alarms at home, in the car, everywhere. Especially after a long long day. I...

    Post partum! Amazing amazing amazing. My total dream is post

  7. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am currently on both sides of this topic. I work at LTC (as a CNA) and there are two nurses I respect more than any RN I work with, but there are a handful of LPNs that are seriously a joke. The...

  8. Will this be too much at once?

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

    Yeah, I am getting pre-req's done for nursing (ADN then plan to bridge to BSN after a little while). They have a summer course for the PCT so I will most likely do it then. Since most hospitals around...

  9. Will this be too much at once?

    tenn_bsnstudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Currently, I am working as a CNA and in the spring I plan on taking 9-12 credit hours, work 24 hours this week (weekends at home health), and take a PCT course at a nearby hospital since hospitals...

  10. Day or Night shift the..Pros and Cons

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Currently I am a CNT at a LTC facility while getting my pre-req's finished up. Right now I am working 2nd shift. I am debating working nights because its less drama for more money! But I am...

  11. GPA just not good enough

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to rokbe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the school. My sister applied to nursing school back in 2006 with a 4.0 GPA and CNA experience and was worried about getting in. But that was a more popular school. I'm applying...

  12. Anybody in the same boat?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to PassionWithAPurpose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that would be too much. And in my experience the CNA course was pretty easy. Good

  13. Vol State/TSU Nursing Program

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to tenn_bsnstudent's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Thank you! I am just worried with their NCLEX pass rate being so low but my sister pointed it out to me that could be influenced by the quality of students that go there. I would just hate to go...

  14. Anybody in the same boat?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to PassionWithAPurpose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am already a CNA (have been for a year and a half) but I plan on taking the PCT course at a nearby hospital (train you for free, plus hospitals want PCTs more since they are trained in just a little...

  15. You can tell it's a full moon...

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    DEFINITELY a full moon! Everyone has been wild! One woman yelled (and I do mean YELLED) at me twice at the nurses station, threatened someone else, tried to hit another woman's family member, among...

  16. Vol State/TSU Nursing Program

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to tenn_bsnstudent's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Well right now my GPA is close to yours but I am just retaking all my classes this semester to bring it up as high as I can get it. Plus I have a year and a half of CNA experience which hopefully make...

  17. Vol State/TSU Nursing Program

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to tenn_bsnstudent's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Well I have been researching it and apparently TSU has an NCLEX pass rate of 78% and I assume that goes for the Vol State program too since it has TSU instructors. Then that makes you wonder the...
