  1. Reprimanded for reporting medication errors and so much more

    flyersfan88 replied to reprimanded's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you, as a fellow student and NOT my instructor, put me on blast and acted that high and mighty, I'd have a problem with you too. Who are you to be posting facebook statuses like that? That is...

    flyersfan88 replied to TaylerCaitlean's topic in General Students

    Some things I've learned in my Accelerated BSN program 1. Most of my class has kids. They have all made it work. 2. Your school will not work around your work schedule, your work schedule will revolve...

  8. Would you miss the first day of class?

    flyersfan88 replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    I missed the first day of class for my brother's wedding. My professors had no idea, and we're a class of 30. I wouldn't worry about it, honestly. Just email your professors ahead of time (no need to...

  9. Nursing school entrance essay

    flyersfan88 replied to amazingdaisy's topic in General Students

    I stayed away from telling them the typical and overdone "I love helping people!!!!1" response as to why I wanted to become a nurse. I used an anecdote, and talked about my goals to change things in...

  10. ABSN students with a bad work ethic

    flyersfan88 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

  11. Unbinding books?

    flyersfan88 replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

  12. caught up in a dilemma

    flyersfan88 replied to Dave_S's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure where the misconception comes from that it is easier to get into a BSN program than an ADN program....but it's not. At least not anywhere near me. And if anything, accelerated programs...

    flyersfan88 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    flyersfan88 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I personally don't think she's lazy or anything like that....I just think it's rather naive to think you'll be avoiding it by being in any one specialty. I have psych nurses in my family that tell me...

  17. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    flyersfan88 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    flyersfan88 replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    We were required to purchase them. The only time I've ever worn it was during our head to toe practicum for Health Assessment, where it was required. We don't go to the hospital the night before for...

    flyersfan88 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    OneNote is free from Microsoft on the app store. All of the eye scrolling features and hand waving gesture features can be turned on and off selectively, so no need to worry about that if you don't...

  22. Iphone or Samsung Galaxy??

    flyersfan88 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

  24. What do you take to clinicals?

    flyersfan88 replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    I can't imagine carrying around a clipboard or tablet....I'd feel ridiculous walking into my patient's room with all of that. I have a pocket sized notebook i take notes in. My rule is that if it...
