  1. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    studentbear replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this thread went an interesting route. Came here to contribute my anecdotal experience as a former anti-vaxxer and somehow we've entered

  2. Need help with this situation!!

    studentbear replied to Jay1900's topic in General Students

    You need to speak with an academic advisor as well as the financial aid office at your school. Things like that vary widely school to school and program to

  3. what would you do? Private or public!

    studentbear replied to Elm773's topic in General Students

    I would personally attend the private school. You mentioned that you don't have any loans, yet, and if you don't mind obtaining some then I don't see any reason to delay your education further. If for...

  4. Has anyone volunteered abroad?

    studentbear replied to raynbabe07's topic in General Students

    I volunteered for a week in Costa Rica last winter through International Volunteer Headquarters. The cost I paid included lodging with a host family and 2 meals per day, plus support from the local...

  5. Trying to decide best schooling path for me.

    studentbear replied to kmd104's topic in General Students

    What about a traditional BSN instead of ABSN? The required GPA is usually a bit lower. If you have all your gen ed done because of a previous degree, you may be able to enter in at the junior

  6. Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

    studentbear replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

    I'd like to think of myself as an average student-- I'm not always 110% prepared and I don't get straight A's. I got A's and B's last semester and I just try to concentrate on retaining this...

  7. Care plan help: Imbalanced Nutrition (Less than body requirements)

    studentbear replied to Varsityblues's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What else is this pt suffering from aside from the weight loss/nutritional issues? What other issues do they have? Remembering ABC= airway, breathing, circulation, is there anything that relates to...

  8. Study Help! Stressed....

    studentbear replied to Van1025's topic in General Students

    NCLEX style practice questions (I have an app that I use that you can trial for free-- I think it's called RN NCLEX Mastery or something like that) and learn to skim read. There are some great videos...

  9. Absn 24 month long vs absn 16 month long? Which is better

    studentbear replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would you have to work if you moved? Either way, I'd probably go the stay with parents route because having expenses covered alleviates a lot of stress/is less to think

  10. Nursing Student Friendliness Versus Friendliness of Students in other Majors.

    studentbear replied to Healthnutiam's topic in General Students

    It felt cutthroat when I was at a community college completing pre-reqs but I haven't had that experience now that I'm in my BSN

  11. Nursing school and working a 9-6

    studentbear replied to joymarie_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a state university BSN program and a close friend of mine is a community college ASN program across the country. Neither of our programs would work with schedule your job requires. At my...

  12. Is this normal!?

    studentbear replied to stressedstudent14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second what other PPs have suggested about front loading for class by doing the reading prior. Do you have access to the slides prior to class as well? That could help prepare

  13. Power points in nursing school? And number?

    studentbear replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Our med surg professor forbids us from recording and she informed us that if anyone did record her, they would be going against the honor code and there could be some pretty serious consequences. Just...

  14. Orientation tomorrow!

    studentbear replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! That's so

  15. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    studentbear replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    I make friends fairly effortlessly and it still took me about a month into nursing school before I found my group. And even then, it was only because I had already connected with one of the people in...

  16. Trouble with A&P I

    studentbear replied to guest517's topic in General Students

    A&P was rough for me, especially physiology. I failed a bunch of exams in A&P 1 but somehow just barely passed. A&P 2 was easier than 1 for me. I actually had to retake A&P 1 because I...

  17. Not letting grades define you

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    I'm not talking about having the "C's get degrees" mentality. I know that this material is important to grasp because it's so that I can pass the NCLEX, be a good nurse, take care of patients...

  18. New Nursing Student Must Haves and Advice From Current Nursing Students

    studentbear replied to CreativeUsername's topic in General Students

    I am nearly wrapping up my first semester as a nursing student, so I'm certainly no expert but I've included some recommendations for items from your OP. I included links because I always found it...

  19. Not letting grades define you

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    That's a helpful perspective. I just study whatever each professor says we need to know and learn it as well as I can. I focus a lot on the "why" behind

  20. Not letting grades define you

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    This is good advice, thank

  21. How am I gonna pay for this???

    studentbear replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I didn't read through all of the replies, so I apologize if someone has already said this, but definitely go to your school's financial aid office. They will have the most accurate information for you...

  22. Forget financial aid if youre an adult over 50

    studentbear replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Did they say why you don't qualify for federal student loans? And have you tried disputing the decision that you don't qualify for financial aid on the basis of your cost of living (i.e. it sounds...

  23. Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    studentbear replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is the hardest thing I've ever done academically second only to prepping for my GED (a task that was incredibly intense at the time since I did not have a standard K-12 education.) I'm...

  24. That wasn't cool

    studentbear replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in General Nursing

    Ay, go on over to Reddit OP. They have a subreddit for everything. A nursing forum, however, isn't the

  25. Do you get Study Guides before midterms and finals ? my teacher doesnt believe in that 😫

    studentbear replied to mariawong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my first semester of my nursing program and it varies professor to professor on who gives out study guides. Our health assessment professor (except for the final) and research professors don't...
