Great points! Thanks so much for your advice. I try to take certain situations and sort of compare them to what I'll have to deal with as a nurse, and you are absolutely right this is one of
Hi everyone! I'm currently in nursing school getting an ADN, with plans to transfer into a BSN program. The chem class sequence required is "Principles of Inorganic Chem" and then "Principles of...
You're absolutely right, it is an opportunity to practice an important skill for nursing. I'm sure I'll deal with plenty of personality types I'm not a fan of, and you're right, this is a good time to...
I could not agree with you more. I am very close to my parents, and out of respect for my mother, I attend when I can, because for whatever reason this matters to her. But I keep my personal life...
Exactly! Thanks so much. I said nothing, just stood and took it. She saw me give my mother a look, and from that point forward, the rest of the night, she followed me around, tried to talk to me more...
I can completely relate to you, and honestly, just like everyone else on this thread has stated, you have to make it your absolute MISSION to prove that you can do it, because you can. If this truly...

Actually, that's exactly what my mother said. She's also 15 years older than me and in my opinion that makes her being competitive even more ridiculous and
Thanks so much for all of your replies and good for all of you for pushing through and proving people wrong. I really needed the pick me up from people who are going through the same things I am. I...
I think it's disgusting. I don't want to get super political here, but it's such a vicious cycle. There are no jobs for people without education, yet they make education impossible to afford... and...
I've looked into both in the past, and from what I've heard and read Trinitas is extremely hard and needs your total devotion to be completed, Muhlenberg seems to be the preferred choice for most...
Hi everyone! I've been looking into RN-BSN programs, it's great to read positive things about Rutgers! I initially thought this school was not an option because I heard Rutgers' nursing program was...
I really am sorry that you're having a hard time, but I find it to be a bit much that you would come into a thread about NEW nurses only to make incredibly discouraging comments. We're all aware of...
