  1. What should I do while waiting?

    RubySlippers06 replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    If it were me, I would start making an assessment as to why I failed out of the first program. Was it due to time management, study issues, etc.? Then, I would make a plan on how to work through what...

  2. Is nursing school worth it?

    RubySlippers06 replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When everything is all said and done, I will be roughly $55-60K in debt. Personally, I would try your hardest to not go over $50. Look into going to a BSN program instead of MSN. It will be cheaper...

  4. Current Navy Nurses - Question

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Government, Military

    That's what I have been hearing. I spoke with a Navy recruiter who told me I would probably be able to get a waiver. However, I don't know how much truth was in that. Thanks for the

  7. Frustrated with the Admission Process

    RubySlippers06 replied to honeyrose29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I am sorry! That is a terrible system! I would probably apply to other programs around my area as well as that one. Just make sure their NCLEX pass rate is

  8. I just want the letter!

    RubySlippers06 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anyone else on here going insane? I'm checking my email obsessively and, still, no letter! Everyone is telling me not worry, blah. It is unavoidable. My GPA and TEAS score were above average, but...

  9. I just want the letter!

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. I just want the letter!

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now, I am having to force myself to not purchase my books off Amazon. They are supposed to send out an email with info in about 2.5 weeks and they register us in the courses. None of this has happened...

    RubySlippers06 replied to nella14's topic in General Students

  13. Social help, not fitting in

    RubySlippers06 replied to nursepeaches's topic in General Students

    (((((HUGS)))))) You seem to have a tone of great comments (sorry, didn't read them all). I just want to add that you will be thankful you had the extra study time. I am really social and have a...

  14. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I feel like this thread just needs to die... I am so sick of seeing it, but I cannot stop myself from reading it! OP, I hate to see that you are getting reamed. I know how much words can hurt....

  15. Would this be smart?

    RubySlippers06 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't buy them now, if you have a whole year. First, what if you are not accepted into the program you buy books for? Second, what if they change the book? I would go with the above advice and...

  16. BSN or ADN?

    RubySlippers06 replied to SweetSouthernLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are also a TON of threads asking this question. You may find some more info in those. I would go with what you get accepted into. Will your hospital offer TA for the ADN or bridge program? I...

  17. please help me..im confused.

    RubySlippers06 replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had to take the ACT or SAT, so I cannot give you information on that. However, I would suggest getting an ACT review book. Most will give you a run down and explanation of the math and...

  18. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

    RubySlippers06 replied to Poly123's topic in General Students

    YAY!! I was just about to add a comment. Have you youtubed nursing videos? Empowern has one about being an introvert nurse. Even as an extrovert, I found it really helpful. You may want to check it...

  19. What Do You Eat?

    RubySlippers06 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    You know, I actually have no idea what the brand is... I take it out of the box and put it in a container as soon as I buy it. I get it in bulk at sams club :) It is amazing and both of my kids love...

  20. What Do You Eat?

    RubySlippers06 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    That is completely disgusting and awesome! I never would have thought to try that. I'm small 5'1, 115ish and I eat A LOT compared to other girls I see. I am definitely writing that one down. Anyways,...

  21. TEAS vs Kaplan Entrance Exam

    RubySlippers06 replied to RjSmithTec's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I was pretty upset getting an 82 on my TEAS. The adviser told me, with my GPA, as long as I did above average on the TEAS I wouldn't have a problem getting in. I did get in, but I had a lot more...

  22. Any student / RN athletes here?

    RubySlippers06 replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I do not do anything competitively anymore. Once we aren't as tight on the budget, I do plan to start competing in fitness competitions. However, I do still enjoy working out 1-2 times a day for a...

    RubySlippers06 replied to loverofall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, too, am planning to become a CNM/FNP and looked into getting my DONA cert. Do you need to work and make money while in NS? If so, it may be a good idea to get your CNA. Also, you will need to work...
