  1. Motlow College 2015 Applicants

    MilliePieRN replied to Medicine68's topic in School, College Programs

    Good luck to all, I graduated last yr. It has it's (major) flaws, but it was worth it. It does take 4 days a week and consumes your

  4. Should I continue nursing school?

    MilliePieRN replied to ElsieO's's topic in General Students

    I graduated last yr. The stress from school is way worse than the stress from work. It's hard work, and stressful, but it's a different type of stress. If it was like always being in nursing school,...

  5. Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    MilliePieRN replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    I honestly think it will be very, very difficult to begin homeschooling and go to nursing school (I definitely couldn't have done it without my kids suffering, it is pretty stressful to be a new...

  6. Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    MilliePieRN replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    I graduated nursing school in May and am now a nurse working nights. I homeschooled my 3 kids through it all and still do. It's totally doable depending on how you choose to homeschool. My kids are...

  7. Best in TN - Please give info

    MilliePieRN replied to middle's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I only know about Motlow and it is extremely competitive. I believe you'd have to bring your gpa up significantly to be accepted into the program (even with a fantastic hesi score). Your sciences have...

  8. Best in TN - Please give info

    MilliePieRN replied to middle's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Yes, they do. (RODP online for sure, not sure about other types of online transfer

  9. Did I do this dosage problem right?

    MilliePieRN replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No, your answer is wrong. You need to read the label and first see how many mg is in each ml. Can you see where you went

  10. Question about this dosage question.

    MilliePieRN replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How many mg would be in 2tsp? 10mg. The answer is

    MilliePieRN replied to Frenchie,RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The 4th day is clinical and it won't be on your schedule. It will be around 6am-2pm (or 3) usually depending on clinical site. There will be 6-8 of you in each clinical group and you'll have different...

  12. Destroyed by previous experience. Should I try nursing again?

    MilliePieRN replied to albedo's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad, new med surg nurse (licensed for 3 weeks). I'm in my 4th week at work. While it is stressful it's not the same type of stress as nursing school. I look back at school and think about...

  13. How long does it take to get used to it?

    MilliePieRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    How long does it take to get used to 12h shifts and working as a nurse? I just started my first job last week. Worked 3 12's in a row and it about killed me. I'm definitely a wimp. My feet are...

  14. Laptop vs Paper

    MilliePieRN replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    I used my laptop for the entirety of nursing school and made all (except 1) A's. I think it helped me stay organized and made it so much easier to study. I used keywords to search multiple sources of...

  15. Help! Medical terminology books?

    MilliePieRN replied to Lmomma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not sure about a book, but this website is great for a quick reference! Common medical terminology. Suffix, prefix, and root

  16. Help studying for exams for classes

    MilliePieRN replied to jarnoldpcpro's topic in General Students

    Test Success was a book that I found helpful at the beginning of nursing school. It helps get you into the nclex testing

    Yes, I made a 1171

  18. Starting Motlow (Smyrna) May 2014 Pre Requisite I want to know what to expect!

    MilliePieRN replied to Relentless_87's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I didn't think the prereqs were terribly hard. I made all A's in them. Work really hard on vocab and english, that's what get's people in trouble on the entrance exam. Only thing that will help your...

  19. RN EXIT 2014

    MilliePieRN replied to YourHero's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I agree, they seem to love throwing in non-important information. I had a question with lots of lab and abg info and none of it had anything to do with the answer…. I took it today.

  20. I dont know if I can keep going

    MilliePieRN replied to OnedayIwillbe's topic in General Students

    I am finishing up my last semester of nursing school. I homeschool my kids also. I have a 14yo and 11yo twins. The first semester was the worst for me. Semesters aren't all that long, and this is...

  22. Motlow Applicants 2014

    MilliePieRN replied to Frenchie,RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    There is no need at all for a cardio stethoscope. I used the lightweight my first year (borrowed from my mom) and she bought me a master classic for Christmas, so I've been using that my second year....

  23. Motlow Applicants 2014

    MilliePieRN replied to Frenchie,RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Stethoscope (the lightweight littmann is more than sufficient and pretty nice, people do just fine). A bp cuff (bought mine on amazon), any old watch with a second hand, pen light are the essentials,...

  24. What if the test answers are not right?

    MilliePieRN replied to vonnieb63's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would choose "c" on this question. What was the correct answer? ETA: the reason I chose "c" instead of noting time is because it specifically said nursing action "for the client" and airway is a...

    MilliePieRN replied to Frenchie,RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    For our class, the first 3 semesters Smyrna and Mcminn folks had to drive to main campus a lot. 2x's per week or more the first while, but this semester (4th) they are doing lab on our home campus....
