  1. Be Sure to Double Check Your NursingCAS Application!

    TriChick posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone utilizing NursingCAS to apply to a nursing program: Be sure to review your completed application after it is "verified", to ensure there are no errors. My...

  2. GRU / Augusta University MSN CNL Fall 2017

    TriChick replied to Keenabeena88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    We had two classes online, they were Biostatistics & Epidemiology and Health Care Policy. We had to find time outside of class to complete the work for those classes. Last semester, both online...

  3. GRU / Augusta University MSN CNL Fall 2017

    TriChick replied to Keenabeena88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can only speak for the Augusta campus, but our schedules were similar I believe. We had lab Mon and Friday from 9am until 1pm (I believe that Athens only had lab on Mondays and just had a longer day...

  4. L&D RN w/ Herpes - Embarrassed

    TriChick replied to Kr_nurse09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If any of my coworkers were the type to think any different of my once learning I had a very common diagnosis, they are not the type whose approval and respect I would want anyway. If any of your...

  5. Are We Still Holding Back Baby's Head?

    TriChick replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With my second child I went from 6 to 10

  6. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Based on your posts, I'm getting the feeling that you have trouble reading people

  7. OB nurses in the military!

    TriChick replied to obnurse406's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In order to get more responses, I would suggest reposting this in the Government/Military forum. There is a wealth of knowledge over there and I'm sure you would get detailed responses

  8. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are nervous about asking the instructor because you are worried you will get in trouble, that should tell you something. It's your call if you want to use online flashcards created by other...

  9. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And obviously, don't use Quizlet for exams. Quizlet cards are often created in a roundabout way from test question banks. If you are needing to use Quizlet to answer an exam question, it's because you...

  10. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many of us who have "counterconstructive responses" have them not because we have short attention spans, rather because we have actually taken the time to read MANY of the posts and threads you have...

  11. MorUniversity: the scrubs from hades

    TriChick replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in General Students

    That's insane. In my program, we are given the color and a few regs (no cargo pockets if possible, etc) and allowed to purchase whatever brand we want that fits the criteria. I chose a pair of Grey's...

  12. Army or Navy

    TriChick replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Haha this all being said, I can't rightfully tell you which service to join because I'm insanely biased:) *whispers* Go

  13. Army or Navy

    TriChick replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Military life is very hard on a family as you will all feel as though some external force is calling the shots and directing your life as a family unit (which it is, to an extent). That being said, I...

  14. Army or Navy

    TriChick replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I just wanted to chime in, not as a nurse but as a Navy veteran. Unfortunately, integrity isn't nearly as built into some service members as the civilian world sometimes believes. You will get some...

  15. Being a hospital CNA has made me rethink my decision

    TriChick replied to majaw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps it's anxiety because it's a new type of situation? As you gain confidence in your ability to handle situations like that, it likely won't elicit the same response. I've had a lot of...

  16. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This! I'm not sure how many times people need to suggest you stop bashing instructors for it to stick? You and only you are responsible for your success. For my nutrition course, I took a format where...

  17. Is NRSNG Academy Worth It?

    TriChick replied to dominicanraze123's topic in General Students

    I just bought a membership last week. I'm starting my direct-entry MSN program next month so I don't have a strong opinion regarding how easy it is to incorporate the material into my studying, BUT so...

  18. Tips for dealing with 4 kids, a husband and a household during nursing school?

    TriChick replied to Mkakids's topic in General Students

    As for school forms and information, perhaps have a little hanging folder or mail holder and get the kids in the habit of placing any paperwork that comes home with them in that as soon as they get...

  19. Tips for dealing with 4 kids, a husband and a household during nursing school?

    TriChick replied to Mkakids's topic in General Students

    Have you checked to see if any of your local grocery stores do order pick up? I know many of them are starting to (including Walmart). For us, it's a lifesaver as I can meal plan, create a list as I'm...

  20. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    In fact, truth be told, you are lucky that one of the instructor's colleagues hasn't already taken screen shots and sent them to her and the BSN admissions

  21. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    TriChick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Ok, I got through most of this thread before getting frustrated to the point that I felt compelled to say something. Report me or not, it needs to be said. You need to chill out. Seriously. You have...

  22. I am ashamed in myself

    TriChick replied to KariT's topic in General Students

    I'm thankful to see some of the later comments. I was worried I was the only one reading the post thinking "this is the definition of cheating". If I had any even REMOTELY identifiable information in...

  23. GRU / Augusta University MSN CNL Fall 2017

    TriChick replied to Keenabeena88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Seach "Augusta University CNL Class of 2018", it should pop up.

  24. Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

    TriChick replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Because the preexisting conditions portion of the ACA has been a source of contention recently as certain Congress members (the Freedom Caucus) initially would not vote for the ACA replacement to be...

  25. Want to be a CRNA, but have to leave husband & kids at home, concerned about childcare

    TriChick replied to fourthtimesacharm's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    An au pair would be an option, although I would check to see how long their arrangements are for. I know that many are typically 12-month arrangements. For every story I've heard or read about a great...
