    testing this Thursday....so nervous!

    LoveNeverDies replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am relaxing. Here and there I am running through lab values, or reviewing the set up for drug calc., and a few questions here and there from PDA. Nothing that is making me feel crammed or trying to...

    Failed, venting, don't know what to do =\

    LoveNeverDies replied to Eithanhunt's topic in General Students

    Usually when students say they are being targeted specifically I think they are trying to rationalize. However, your instructor sounds absolutely horrid. Did you get talked to about your progress...

    Is cheating a double standard?

    LoveNeverDies replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    My instructors would occasionally throw out questions, or adjust scores based on class outcomes. If they adjusted everyones scores the same way, and you still received a score of 74% you did not meet...

    testing this Thursday....so nervous!

    LoveNeverDies replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am also testing Thursday at 8 A.M.! Man these nerves can get to you. I put a lot of belief in positive thinking, so I am going in confident that I will pass. You can take water and snacks, I am not...

    Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    LoveNeverDies replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    It is funny how things turn out sometimes. I had 2 women in my class give birth. One returned to class that same week without any problems. The other took a full week off and had some difficulty with...

    Textbooks

    LoveNeverDies replied to hotmessmanda's topic in General Students

    I bought all of my books through half.com. I do not like having highlighted books so I bought New or Like New. After I was finished I either kept them, or sold them back for roughly what I paid. A few...

    Is nursing school worth it?

    LoveNeverDies replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would consider an accelerated BSN. I did an ADN program (luckily I did get a job as soon as I graduated) which cost about 6,000$ and got a scholarship that covered the majority of that. My RN-BSN...

    Aspiring CCU Nurse

    LoveNeverDies replied to Lillian11's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I just got hired into an ICU as a New Grad. I bought a reference book on amazon (there are many so just search through a few). I plan on taking notes during my orientation shifts. Before I start, and...

    When should senior nursing students/new grads apply for jobs/take the NCLEX?

    LoveNeverDies replied to KNofal1's topic in General Students

    Depends on your location. I applied a few weeks after graduation, thinking it would take a while because some people still had not heard back that applied before graduation. I had an interview and job...

    What is a Calling to be a nurse?

    LoveNeverDies replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    I would say that I felt called to be a Nurse. I am a very compassionate person, I enjoy helping people in any way I can. My family recalls me saying that I have wanted to be a Nurse since I was five...

    Sooooo much debt already

    LoveNeverDies replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I am quite young and worked throughout school to pay for it. Many of the older students in my class did not work throughout the program (most had kids which I consider a full time job anyway). But my...

    Nurses promoting faux alternatives to medicine

    LoveNeverDies replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    I am huge into alternative medicine and nutritional medicine. However, I do accept the limits of these treatments and I would never promote it as a "Nurse". If I am talking to friends or family about...

    Skills Checkoffs and Anxiety

    LoveNeverDies replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    I do not like being watched and graded. Although my anxiety is not that severe, what I did was just pretend they weren't there. I actually just completely blocked them out of my head and talked to the...

    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    LoveNeverDies replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I find every comment you have posted thus far distasteful. You have not acted like an adult a single time that I can see. Maybe just maybe these girls are horrible but from what I can tell you...

    Are married women bullied less at work?

    LoveNeverDies replied to EmilyEmily's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dont be the victim, her own insecurities are at play here. Review your own actions and see if you have caused any of this, if you are sure you have not then do not pay mind to anything they say. I am...

    BON approval and accreditation

    LoveNeverDies replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Depending on your state and future goals it can vary. Most states will not allow students to sit for NCLEX if they have not graduated from an accredited school. Many BSN programs will not accept...

    Low HR

    LoveNeverDies replied to joe007's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If I was in a situation where I felt uncomfortable I would question it, at least that way you can understand the Doctor/Preceptors point of view. However, I have a resting heart rate of high 30s-40s,...

    What is the problem with nursing school?

    LoveNeverDies replied to joe007's topic in General Students

    OP, it is terrible that you had that kind of schooling. There is a school near me that has a similar set up to what you describe and no hospital around here will touch those graduates with a 10 foot...

    Sooooo much debt already

    LoveNeverDies replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I think you are the best person to decide how your debt is going to affect your future. However, I have seen many of my friends take out roughly 90k for a bachelors degree, in multiple fields with low...

    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    LoveNeverDies replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    OP, it is quite unfortunate that you are in this situation and you have been given great advice from the other members. Glancing at your past post history it seems you have a habit of wanting to...

    Nurse jobs that allow modifications?

    LoveNeverDies replied to hayleyyelyah's topic in General Students

    OP, I would first like to say that I really adore piercings and tattoos as a form of expression. Heck, if I could I would have facial piercings/rainbow hair/and tattoos. However, one of my goals is to...

    Food in the ER

    LoveNeverDies replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    In my clinical this past Wednesday a family member said almost the exact thing, (he'd been there maybe an hour and a half) and my Nurse looked at him and smiled and said "I've been here since 5:30, if...
