  1. NICU vs. cardiac?

    studentbear posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have a strong interest in working in the NICU and understand that I am well-suited for it because I work in a methodical/systematic way and am very detail-oriented. I have experience working as a...

  2. Nursing.com Bundle

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone have experience with the nursing.com bundle which covers content for pre-nursing through new grad? It's 2 years of access and is about $492. I just wrapped up my junior year of nursing...

  4. Need help deciding where to go (MA)

    studentbear replied to strawburrymilk's topic in General Students

    First of all, I'm 30 and will be 31 when I graduate next year with my BSN. Please try not to put pressure on yourself to hurry up and finish you degree! I definitely sympathize with you, believe me....

  5. Boston --> SoCal. How competitive are new grad residencies?

    studentbear posted a topic in California Nursing

    I'm going to try and sift through the new grad residency program threads but wanted to make a post in the mean time. I'm set to graduate with my BSN over a year from now (May 2021) hopefully with at...

  6. Chemistry

    studentbear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never taken chemistry and I'm really nervous about it. This is the class description: "Introductory course open to students without previous background in chemistry. Introduction to the nature...

  7. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    studentbear replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Tangentially related.. how do you find what your state requires for clinical hours? When I looked it up, it said that states "recommend" hours, but couldn't find actual requirements. I thought schools...

  8. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    studentbear replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm in Boston. I had my mental health clinical yesterday with no word on future cancellations and we were supposed to have maternity clinical today, but I woke up to it being canceled. All simulations...

  9. How many more times....

    studentbear replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    It's easy to get discouraged by the first exam. I don't think I passed my first fundamentals exam (our minimum is a 77%) but I finished that semester with A's and B's. I'm now 3/4 of the way done with...

  10. Nursing school and anxiety

    studentbear replied to Bleblenurs18's topic in General Students

    What you're describing is imposter syndrome and believe me, unless your cohort are unusual af, many/all of them are also experiencing it. I've been a CNA for several years and while I have lots of the...

  12. Graduating in one state but testing in another?

    studentbear posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm set to graduate next year and planning to relocate to another state across country shortly thereafter. I know sometimes it can take a little time to get an ATT. I'm wondering whether it would make...

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

    When you say "apply from the start," you mean register with Pearson Vue

  14. SNA chapter

    studentbear posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Forgive me if this sounds petty. I want to join my school's SNA. On the first week of this semester, I asked the president of our chapter when the meeting would be. She said she didn't know yet. I...

  16. Boston --> SoCal. How competitive are new grad residencies?

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I wonder how competitive it is compared to Boston area hospitals. We're a pretty small city but have several ABSN, BSN, and ASN programs nearby. I was recently told by a clinical...

  17. West Coast University graduates

    studentbear posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hey, I'm considering applying to WCU (specifically their LA campus.) I'd love to hear any and all first hand experiences from graduates of their BSN program. I'm generally very skeptical of for-profit...

  18. Please critique my study system

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    I tried to make this short but unfortunately that didn't work out (TLDR at the bottom.) I am returning to my BSN program after 2 years off-- I completed my first semester (fundamentals, health...

  19. Please critique my study system

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    Is ANKI similar to Quizlet? I typically use Quizlet which I love because I can put it in "test mode" which turns all of my flashcards into practice

  20. Red flag?

    studentbear replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That's gonna be a no from me dawg. But seriously, unless you're hard up for $$$ I'd run the other direction. Trust your

  22. West Coast U - Los Angeles

    studentbear replied to priiuuss's topic in School, College Programs

    Commenting to follow because I'd also appreciate hearing from other student's first hand experience. I'm curious about WCU's attrition rate because I've heard rumors that they will boot students from...

  23. West Coast University spring 2019

    studentbear replied to EWKstudent_nurse's topic in California Nursing

    I'm considering applying to WCU and would love to hear first hand student experiences. I am generally very skeptical of for-profit schools, but the only other options in the LA area for a BSN degree...

  24. Has anyone else had to withdraw from their program and then return several semesters later?

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    I'll try to be as brief as possible with the backstory for brevity but this post will probably be quite long. I had some health issues during my second clinical semester (fall 2017.) Near finals, it...

  25. What should I do first

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

    I know ABSN is more rigorous than BSN, but almost all of my BSN classmates work. Many of them live with family but many of them do not. Our program discourages working above 20 hours/week but I know...
