    My resume's a hot mess, and so am I.

    hooliebug posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey everyone, I need to put together a new resume for job applications, and it would be nice to have something up-to-date to show potential NP preceptors for graduate school. I have some questions...

    Looking for Online Microbiology Course withLab

    hooliebug replied to gmacri's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've never heard of a fully online microbiology class. It has a lab component that absolutely cannot be done online, so you're going to have to take an actual class somewhere. A lot of community...

    Question!Please answer or give thoughts

    hooliebug replied to AddictedToCoffee4657's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you have a bad case of FOMO. Try not to focus on how great everyone's lives appear to be on the surface (everyone always posts about how great things are going on Facebook and Instagram)...

    Any Advice?

    hooliebug replied to AddictedToCoffee4657's topic in General Students

    Like you, I used to panic, stutter, and forget to breathe during presentations. Fortunately, you do so many presentations during nursing school that you start to become desensitized to the pressure...

    Graceland University

    hooliebug posted a topic in General Nursing

    Although I've been accepted into a local ADN program, their administration is atrocious and I'm honestly considering biting the bullet and going for my BSN at Graceland University. Any KC area folks...

    Accelerated Program. Is it worth it?

    hooliebug replied to Strader612's topic in General Students

    Hi. I am an actual student (in my senior year, last semester) in an accelerated 18-month BSN program. I'm 30 with a fiance and 0 kids, and I have the added benefit of not having to work for us to...

    Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

    hooliebug replied to RNFall2017's topic in General Students

    Getting a super trolly vibe from OP. Is there any way to report him/her to the moderators? S/he is being inflammatory for the sake of being

    Help

    hooliebug replied to SeanSilver's topic in General Students

    Male nurses are awesome and I love them. I wish there were more of them. Don't let the fact that you're male and loved by your coworkers get to your head though. In my area (KC MO), new graduates...

    Has ATI Testing helped you during Nursing school?

    hooliebug replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

    I think it's garbage -- overtly difficult, not reflective of how you'll actually do on the NCLEX. The school I attend decided to abandon ATI for Kaplan and I definitely prefer the

    Found out I'm pregnant and school starts in a week!!!!

    hooliebug replied to Nyunyu's topic in General Students

    I can't speak to being pregnant in nursing school (or even having kids) but if you decide to accept the spot your school has offered you need to be honest and upfront about your situation before you...

    Getting attached to patients

    hooliebug replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Remember why you're there: to help people, not add to their distress. Giving all of yourself to someone for 12 hours and then snatching away that sense of all-encompassing comfort you've created at...

    "Book Smart, No Common Sense" Is nursing for me?

    hooliebug replied to LittleLibra's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last semester of my senior year (accelerated BSN program) and I can safely say 90% of the people in my class (myself included) are bumbling, awkward, and self-conscious when it comes to many...

    Applying to NP Programs Senior Year

    hooliebug replied to csat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would wait until after you graduate from your BSN program and pass the NCLEX before applying to graduate programs. Many graduate programs require potential students to have a current unencumbered...

    Do I even have a shot for CRNA schools?

    hooliebug replied to DSP17's topic in General Students

    You may want to get in touch with a few CRNA programs/schools that you're interested in to discuss your concerns. Some may not care what your non-nursing GPA is like -- unlikely, but you never know....

    Jobs before applying to nursing school

    hooliebug replied to onelovefob's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure many jobs like what you're describing exist; however, I get emails from school constantly about volunteer opportunities in hospice/long term/acute care facilities. I imagine these...

    Starting nursing school at 37...

    hooliebug replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a class of ~46 students. Most of the class is young (early to mid-twenties) but there are at least 10 of us in our late 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. It's definitely not uncommon nowadays to have...

    Help on TEAS test

    hooliebug replied to ddrftw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a ton of TEAS prep books floating around you can check out that may help guide you in what to study for the science portion of the test. When I took it years ago, I went to my local discount...

    A&P 1

    hooliebug replied to Djamesho's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd agree with the above comments; ask questions if you don't understand something (even if you get the stink eye from people in class -- staying quiet only hurts you in the long run), study every...

    Taking both General Biology & General Chemistry

    hooliebug replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hah, I just answered this question on another thread. I'm currently in nursing school and I don't recall feeling "prepared" for Anatomy and Physiology, even after taking Introduction to Biology and...

    What science classes helped you prepare for Anatomy & Physiology?

    hooliebug replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently in nursing school. Biology may help a little. I took Anatomy and Physiology separately over two semesters; from what I remember, there may have been a brief review over cellular biology...

    Graceland University

    hooliebug replied to hooliebug's topic in General Nursing

    I declined my spot; all of my eggs are in the Graceland basket now. I just found out tonight that I have an interview with staff members on Tuesday, yay! [RANT] I was initially told by MCC that I got...

    Immunizations

    hooliebug posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, real talk. I have no idea where my immunization card is, so I'm guessing I have a lot of vaccine titer tests in my future. Is this something I can stroll into a lab and request all willy-nilly...

    Any MCC-Penn Valley Nursing Aug 2015 Applicants?

    hooliebug replied to Lilacs For Mom's topic in General Nursing

    No offense taken! I am honestly hoping that everyone who got accepted is talented and brilliant and smart because I'd rather not be in this program with literal mouth-breathers, you know what I mean?...
