  1. Can you be pregnant in nursing school?

    You can do it. It may not be easy but it can be done. My school was pretty strict about absences. One classmate made it through with her pregnancy and postpartum needs. Another classmate gave birth to a baby who needed a lot of medical care and she w...
  2. What the heck is an NP 1 vs. an NP2, etc.

    I have seen RN1 and RN2 in job ads which is shorthand for the years of experience. For that employer, RN2s have over 4 years of experience in that specialty.
  3. NCTC 2016 Fall Entrance Exam

    I also highly recommend changing your allnurses name to not include your real name.
  4. NCTC 2016 Fall Entrance Exam

    I wish I could remember what subjects were on the ADN entrance exam. What I do remember is being shocked at the cutoff score for my class's entry: 75%. I believe there were 60 students to start. That cutoff depends on how many people apply and how we...
  5. The most frustrating part of NS..

    I watched my grades carefully. Once I passed the point of no A in one class, I adjusted its priority. I am happy with my As and Bs. Celebrate!
  6. Please Help Me!

    Go back a step and don't drop your unit labels. If you keep your labels on, you should be able to see which steps still need to be done to get what you need.
  7. NCTC Spring 2015

    Hi Irish_Mist, I am a first semester student in the transition program at NCTC. I also have a previous bachelor's in an unrelated field and intend to get my BSN. I am only one class short of the BSN prereqs and will have that completed by the time I ...
  8. The Dark Side of Passion

    You are not too old for martial arts. My father took up aikido in his late 40s and took it beyond the first degree of black belt. Yoga is a great idea too. Do what you need to do to avoid burnout. Good health to you!
  9. I've been a nurse since.....(fill in the blank)

    This reminds me of the rap lyrics, "I've been spending hundreds since they had small faces!" I started in the nursing field when Steve Jobs was still alive. Osama bin Laden, Moammar Gadhafi, and Kim Jong-il were still around. The Fukushima Dai-ichi n...
  10. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Search Facebook groups for NCTC ADN Spring 2016. It is a closed group, so request access. One of your classmates or fellow nursing students will approve your request once your name is matched up with the class rosters.
  11. Any lpns with previous bachelor degrees on here?

    I have a BA in an unrelated field. LVN since 2011, expected to complete ADN/RN in 2016. Hoping BSN completion in 2017.
  12. a "friend" looked me up on the BON?????

    I would personally avoid a boundary stomper like that at all costs. I would also never stick around in a moms group where I am disrespected like that. Keep the friends, lose the passive aggressive boundary stompers.
  13. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    If anyone has the assignments for this week can you please post them or message/email me? I am just reading through the first three chapters of fundamentals of nursing until I can access the nursing group on Angel. I think I saw Exercise #1 on the ma...
  14. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Email the program director to request your name be added to the access list for the ANGEL student nursing group. As a reminder, allnurses.com does not allow the use of (professor/faculty/third party personal) names on this site.
  15. To all that fail the NCLEX Please Read!!

    Ooh, it comes with 900+ free questions and the paid version comes with 1500. Thanks again!
  16. To all that fail the NCLEX Please Read!!

    That is steep for an app but we pay more for books that are less convenient... I may check it out to see if there is a version that works for my needs. Thanks!
  17. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    I know it wasn't addressed directly to me, but orientation is Tuesday the 19th at 9am. I just don't know exactly where... I will be arriving early to get a new student ID. The last weekday I had off, I learned that I was unable to get my ID done beca...
  18. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    It just needs to be renewed before it expires, so it is still good this month and next (until the expiration date).
  19. What are the risks related to foot care for a diabetic patient?
  20. Which Littmann Stethoscope to purchase?

    I know this may sound pound poor as opposed to penny wise, but if you can treat your stethoscope like you would a pair of glasses, then compare the cost of each, the Littmann Cardiology III really won't seem that expensive after all. Until it gets st...
  21. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Hybrid transition students who are curious: I just heard the first in-person day, after the orientation on the 19th, is Monday, August 25 at 1pm - 4pm (healthcare assessment 310 section, orientation).
  22. Butinski

    Interruptipus Buttinski, I know that guy!
  23. Time to move on

    Yes. You can be the best person for the job, but the job isn't the best job for you. I keep telling myself this is why they pay us the big bucks.
  24. Which would you do for your own nails and why?
  25. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    I used to pronounce Dramamine as if it rhymed with "drama queen." Some corrected me and said it sounds like "dram a mean" instead. I took his word for it.
