1. Why get my BSN?

   krcs replied to KatieJ91's topic in General Students

   It really depends on your goals. I'm getting my ADN right now. If I want to specialize down the road I'll of course have to get my BSN but really I just want to get the ADN and test the waters...

2. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

   krcs replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

   You asked why people dropped and for the most part we answered. By the nature of the action you're inquiring about of course the answers are going to be down and dirty. Someone feeling the need or...

3. 1st day clinical. I know nothing? is this normal?

   krcs replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

   Every hospital has different equipment so it's hard to prepare students for everything. What I have been doing is when I'm paired with a nurse that you can tell is open to teaching, I ask as many...

4. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

   krcs replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

   I agree with others. Anticipating the stress of nursing school is one thing and living it is another. Your entire life will change once you enter nursing school. I am about 6 weeks in and went through...

5. Has Anyone Considered Chiropractic?

   krcs replied to aboxofrain's topic in General Students

   Yes I'm a chiropractic assistant and I love it. Unfortunately the room for growth in my role is minimal so it was either pursue chiropractic or take a different route. I decided nursing for various...

6. Has Anyone Considered Chiropractic?

   krcs replied to aboxofrain's topic in General Students

   I currently work for a chiropractor and I'm a first year nursing student. I do have conflicts with some of the traditional methods of healing but the main thing that we have to remember is that there...

7. Is it just me???

   krcs replied to dsb_fam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Micro will either make you paranoid or it will make you realize there are bugs everywhere and you've made it this long with them and they didn't become more dangerous or prevelant over night. For me...

8. Nursing School Blues??

   krcs replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

   witty_online_monker. You just described my experience to a T. I felt fairly incompetent. I didn't exactly have a Scrub's moment where I cried in the supply closet like Elliot but I definitely was in...

9. Lost it today

   krcs replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

   I know how you feel! I went through this. I got sick and pretty much had a breakdown(like we can afford to be sick with all that we have to do!). I had to drag my tail to class when I'd rather be...

10. Nursing School Blues??

    krcs replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    I'm glad this thread popped up because I sure needed it. I have the blues myself and I'm only a few weeks in. I'm so used to being a perfectionist and doing everything perfect all the time. It's...

11. negativity in nursing school

    krcs replied to honey bell's topic in General Students

    In my class there is no negativity. I think it varies. I talked to a friend who is in the same school as me but has different professors and the class dynamic for her is so different from my...

12. Am I being too hard on myself?

    krcs replied to krcs's topic in General Students

    I'm definitely a perfectionist and I think this is why it bothered me so much. Most of my classmates seemed thrilled at their performance and suggested that it went off without a hitch. Maybe they...

13. Nursing School vs. A&P - how much harder is it?

    krcs replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    A&P(Especially the P side) was hard for different reasons. Some things it was just hard to wrap your brain around in that class for me. Nursing school so far is cut and dry. You do this for this...

14. Am I being too hard on myself?

    krcs posted a topic in General Students

    So far I've been doing fairly well in nursing school. Aced all the tests and felt pretty confident. But then clinical day came and I fell short. I wouldn't say it was a total bust. I performed the...

    I started August 27th. I've been lurking around here but finally decided to sign up and post. So much work. Been through 3 weeks and have taken two written exams, two lab skill tests and had my first...
