    Happy belated
  2. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    Hello All, Yesterday we were told that the school could not secure any clinical sites for maternal-child health and that we only have four lab days for the entire semester. Previously, we've heard...
  3. I was ACCEPTED today!!!

    Awesome! You will do great. Stay organized, read, and practice questions until you can't stand it and you will have no problems. When you feel stressed and overwhelmed (and you will) just think of the...
  4. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    The fact that I am being reprimanded for my schools competency is vexatious at best. I ignored the first few posts but they keep rolling in. And to call me the problem schools like this exist simply...

    What on God's green Earth are you talking
  6. 47yrs old in 4days and starting class

    Congrats on furthering your education and entering the field of nursing! There are some in my program in their 50s and 60s (no, really) so you've got nothing on them. You will do great. And please...
  7. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    Thank you so much. This is almost too much information, haha. It will take quite some time to have all this memorized. Thanks
  8. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    I heard the program was 'awful', but I never looked up the actual statistics. I got my bachelors degree here and just stuck with it as I support myself solely and have no way to move to another school...
  9. How would you break these up?

    It's in healthcare management and administration. The BSN at our school requires it, but not that

  12. How would you break these up?

    In absolutely no way and am I saying that you're making it up but she had to have been joking and forgot to say just kidding - or something. I've never had chemistry, am not required to have chemistry...
  13. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    I understand. But please note that when I used the term finagle, I was not implying fraudulent documentation or anything of the sort. They claim that that state knows there is a shortage of clinical...
  14. How would you break these up?

    As a pre-req? Wow. Chem isn't even required to graduate the nursing program and my
  15. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    I do know that as of this year, up to 50% of clinical hours can come from simulation. And I'm sure they are going to finagle it somehow on paper to give us our hours. I believe we have 11 simulations...
  16. How would you break these up?

    If you are wanting to finish in two semesters: College Algebra, A&P, Micro and then: Statistics, Chemistry. Alternatively, College Algebra, A&P and then take Micro, Chem, and stats. I...
  17. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    Thankfully I haven't put much money in. Firstly, the program is not expensive; just under 10k, in fact. Also, I have an academic scholarship, my job's benefits include paying for 6 credits twice a...
  18. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    According to the BON, in 2013 255 students took the NCLEX from our school and only 154 passed yielding a 60% pass
  19. Held back a semester

    Think of the silver lining. If you passed by a hair, you'd have continued on and likely struggled throughout the rest of the program. Now, all the information you learned will be reinforced and you...
  20. I only feel bad for the people with tattoos. I used to think they were exceedingly unprofessional but let's be a little progressive here. A tattoo should not represent someone's competency. Obviously...
  21. Eating healthy

    I'm in my third semester and I still need help with this. Looking forward to the
  22. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    Honestly I get so much attention that I can't stand it. And I'm not talking about getting 'picked on'... It's like people are obsessed with the three of us in our class of 40. I know that probably...
  23. Anyone else feel this way?

    I don't mind it. It's advantageous in more ways than one. We are still at a point where people 'love to see men in nursing' so, in my opinion, it's not a bad
  24. Med Surg & Micro!!!!!

    My program in FL doesn't include/require bio, chem, or med terminology. Micro, however, is a corequesite. There is also no pharm either; crazy, I
  25. Did anything really help you pass nclex?

    I envy you. My program's pass rate is in the 60s. And they take 80 students three times a year so that is a lot of students failing. I'm half way through the program and am very fearful of when the...
