  1. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    suzw replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    Hard to believe people get so stressed and perturbed, even infuriated about someone walking in a few minutes late. That can't be good for stress levels. The late person is the one missing possibly...

  2. Nurse Managers Interview Help

    suzw replied to brlewis22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This seems to be a common assignment, and I have to say, it has got to be the most annoying assignment ever. The local nurse managers must get so sick of students banging on their door begging for an...

  3. Lab Values Help

    suzw replied to kh2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think about what labs might indicate infection... Also, just FYI, a hgb, hct, RBC, platelets and (the lab that might indicate infection) are all included in a CBC, so I don't think you need to include...

  4. Missed clinical! :(

    suzw replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    So... What was the outcome,

  5. Missed clinical! :(

    suzw replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    yeah, plus if she does have to make it up, it's only a half day or a even just a couple hours for the instructor to plan and show up for (if the instructor has to be on site). IF she has to make it...

  6. Missed clinical! :(

    suzw replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I understand that what they SAID was don't show up if you're going to be 10 minutes late, but that may not be what they meant. I am just hoping she contacted someone and confirmed that before...

  7. Missed clinical! :(

    suzw replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    So you didn't go at all? I think I would've contacted my instructor and maybe the clinical site (but only if my instructor was not already on site) and just gone in as soon as you could get there. Let...

  8. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    suzw replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Oh, and our retention rate is higher than most of the universities

  9. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    suzw replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    I'm not going to read all the comments, and maybe someone has already said this, but I just wanted to point out that my ADN program (as well as many others in my state) has a similar (or better) NCLEX...

  10. My sisters wedding is when I'm in my 1st year of nursing school?

    suzw replied to ateka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously people, she is a senior in high school, so like 17 or 18. Is it really necessary to tell her she is not dedicated enough to being a nurse because of a moment of insecurity or anxiety over...

  11. student in need of help

    suzw replied to boobear0299's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But did you fail just the final or the entire course? If it was just the final but you passed the course, I would let this question go (I agree with others, it was a prognosis question, not evidence...

  12. I can't wrap my head around nursing diagnosis

    suzw replied to unknowngenius10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    They assigned nursing dx problems before you've even started the nursing program, before a single lecture day? Is that a normal

  13. 78 on Teas

    suzw replied to ChavonaScott's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    A lot of schools don't even use the TEAS, though I know nothing about the schools you mentioned. My TEAS score was higher, but my GPA was lower (3.7) and I got in to 3 different schools. You should be...

  14. Can I take NCLEX in a different state?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Awesome, thanks for all your helpful replies! I guess the thing I was confused about was, I thought that applying in the state you want to work meant that you have to take the test in that state. For...

  15. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    suzw replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    To the many people who said "transfer to another program", how easy do you think it is to do that? Serious question, no snark intended. I am in my 5th quarter and we have NO openings in my cohort, or...

  16. 47yrs old in 4days and starting class

    suzw replied to maddyfan4's topic in General Students

    I am 46, and I graduate this spring, but then have to go back for my BSN (sigh...) I am one of 3 in my class of 40 that are 45-46, (we all have young- preteen children at home too). One is also a...

  17. Any RN to BSN programs without a lot of busy work?

    suzw replied to AngelMama's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I feel your pain. I'm applying to a RN to BSN program (UW- Bothell) at this very moment and am seriously dreading all the writing. I don't like writing. I'd rather take an exam every week than write a...

  18. Would it be a bad idea to take General Chemistry, A&P2, and pathophysiology?

    suzw replied to rmc2962's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ummm,

  19. TEAS score for EvCC?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Washington Nursing

    I think 8th is ok. Some things might be on different pages, but if you don't mind digging around it works fine. A few classmates had that one too and it was a minor inconvenience but no big deal. As...

  20. TEAS score for EvCC?

    suzw posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey, is anyone here applying for Everett CC- or is already in the program, and can tell me what a competitive TEAS score is for the program? I asked them, and they won't tell me. They just say it...

  21. Is Pregnancy During Nursing School Doable?

    suzw replied to 2bNurseHammonds's topic in General Students

    I don't recommend it, but if you do decide to do it, aim for a summer delivery, that way (assuming everything goes well) you can take your time bonding with the baby, establishing breastfeeding, and...

  22. Pregnant during nursing school

    suzw replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Oh man, I couldn't even walk fast or lift heavy objects without peeing my pants until almost a month after giving birth, I can't imagine going to clinical a few days later. And if you are planning on...

  23. Any student / RN athletes here?

    suzw replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I have to say, 2nd quarter was a little easier than 1st quarter, and 3rd quarter was even easier still, but I hear 4th (OB and peds, next fall) will be more like 1st quarter again, so I'm going to try...

  24. Any student / RN athletes here?

    suzw replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I was once (before I went back to school FT) a high level competitive cyclist. I did it while working FT, traveling to select pro races all around the U.S. After having a baby 5 years ago, I stopped...

  25. Polio Vaccine

    suzw replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    Will they accept titers? Perhaps you did get vaccinated but it wasn't recorded for some reason, or someone is reading the record wrong. If you were not born in the U.S. it is possible you were exposed...
