    how many of you actually read all the chapters?

    rob4546 replied to gearedup's topic in General Students

    I guess I was the weird one. I read everything that was assigned, and some that wasn't, up until my last semester. By that time the material was just the same but written by a different author. I...

    Needlestick Injury d/t careless error. Seriously rethinking if I'm cut out for this.

    rob4546 replied to smaritania47's topic in General Students

    I don't see why you would think that you are not suitable for nursing because of this mistake. Well except that your nerves are probably friend and am ready to be done with school. We have all been...

    Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Since we are speaking of the capstone project, in previous posts people state that they put all their papers together and edit it for submission. Is this a paper or project that shows your growth...

    rob4546 replied to CastMemberR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking the better A&P classes wont get you more money, it will get you through nursing school. Studying 7 days a week isn't out of the ordinary. 15 hours over the class time for each class?...

    Horrible Clinical Experiences, Questioning if I Should Quit

    rob4546 replied to jackieui's topic in General Students

    I really think you should look closely at your performance in school and clinicals. I may not understand fully, but the first time it was a nurse that was picking on you. The second time was a...

    rob4546 replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    Decision to cheat doesn't count as life happens..... Yep! People often get worked up by others actions and forget that it has nothing to do with their life/situation. The only way this would...

    This is the stuff that you should celebrate so that you can finish out your nursing school education on a high note. Congratulations and good job. It seems like a minor realization, but very...

    ADN vs. BSN

    rob4546 replied to FutureNurse0550's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do a little research on recent posts here on AN. This is a common question and is asked and answered often. It really depends on your local job market. Will you be able to get a job as an ADN? In...

    Hostility

    rob4546 replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    Were we in the same class? Sounds like we were. Our class had 3 people like this. One person regularly dropped the F-bomb in class or in private conversations with staff if she didn't like something...

    Is this college worth the price?

    rob4546 replied to Onmyway14's topic in General Students

    Out of my price range for sure. My ADN program cost me about 4,000.00 with financial aid and my BSN will cost me 12,000-14,000. No way would I pay 44,000.00 no matter the amount of clinical sites....

    rob4546 replied to HelloWish's topic in General Students

    I don't think that this is neurotic at all. I regularly scrub shoes in the garage and do not wear them in the house at all. In fact I do not wear scrubs that I wore throughout the day in the house....

    rob4546 replied to Summers3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my nursing program we had to sign a paper stating that we would not lift anything heavier than 40 pound. Stamina is something that you will develop over time, and exercise does help. There are...

    rob4546 replied to losthorizon43's topic in General Students

    Same here. It worked out to be 4 weeks after census. It prevented people from signing up for classes, getting their financial aid and then dropping classes. My financial aid office was very open...
