    LVN to 30 Unit Option to BSN

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rice_in_Space's topic in General Students

    How on earth could they put you in an ASN-BSN program if your are not currently an RN? Every college that I've ever heard of you have to currently have an RN license to apply to bridge to a BSN...

    UWORLD is the NCLEX!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to isaura305's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess I don't understand. The screen looks the same??? What does that mean?? I dos Uworld on both the app and laptop and I'm struggling to understand. The screen should not mean a thing. Maybe...

    Narcan and CPR education

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mamackayrn's topic in General Nursing

    That's because they don't understand addiction in its entirety. Even people who run treatment programs don't understand addiction. They want to put a bandaid on it. Here's 10 weeks of counseling....

    The right to an opinion

    NurseGirl525 replied to ElectricCabbage's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, you are right. But when it interferes with the comfort of that dying patient, that's when I'm going to intervene. Just because someone in dying, their...

    CNA attire during interview?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Shanty3710's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Professional attire. Slacks, a nice shirt, and dress shoes. Don't ever go in sloppy for an interview. Scrubs a lot of times can look sloppy. I would never wear scrubs for an interview. To me it...

    UWORLD is the NCLEX!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to isaura305's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, it's not. How on earth do you remember 1, much less 3 questions word for word from NCLEX? I don't remember one. Uworld is much harder than NCLEX and focuses too much on content. I'm glad you...

    Narcan and CPR education

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mamackayrn's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think narcan should have been immediately given to this man, or just any person that falls over? They aren't all drug addicts. Call me crazy but I don't think just anybody should be...

    Lpn to RN Ivytech

    NurseGirl525 replied to LPNsoontobeRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Everest is one of the worst colleges out there. None of your credits will transfer anywhere. Most likely, you will have to start over. Sorry. Ivy Tech is a legit community college and Everest is...

    Which medications are given at bedtime?

    NurseGirl525 replied to klinn08's topic in General Students

    True. Kaplan focuses too much on content. That is not what NCLEX is

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you never submitted to a drug screen before? The toilet water is always blue. There was obviously a reason they were suspicious. You submitted and it was positive. There are always three...

    How to get input and output

    NurseGirl525 replied to Miketheswammer's topic in General Nursing

    Most supposed to be per shift. These are two different shifts, I think. I'm not sure why the OP is having an issue. I wish they would come back and

    Withdrew from BSN to do LVN (lost and confuse)

    NurseGirl525 replied to cutescrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your problem is you went to a private, for profit program. Did you understand the cost before starting? Did that not matter? Think about the enormity of the student loans. This was a blessing in...

    Almost 2 weeks and no results

    NurseGirl525 replied to bummercity's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why have you not tried Quick Results? You can pay $8 and get them in 48 hours if your state participates. What state are you

    Out of school for 18 months. Passed NCLEX on first try with 265 questions.

    NurseGirl525 replied to kentot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!! Now the hard part. Securing a job. It's great you passed, but what about how you will explain why it took you so long to take NCLEX? I'm just wondering how that will go? I hope you can...

    Can you be pregnant in nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to leikela91's topic in General Students

    I had many people pregnant in my program. Several just had to sit out a semester. You may have to defer a semester depending on how it works after the baby. Before the baby is the easy part. It's...

    Half introvert, half extrovert...Will it work??

    NurseGirl525 replied to greenfirelady's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. You must decide if you are one or the other. Sorry. We don't accept mixed types in nursing. We only accept those that can clearly define themselves. I hope you see how silly this is and you...

    Blood Transfusions Question??

    NurseGirl525 replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on the situation. Sometimes, it's as fast as you can get it in, others, it's 150mL/hr. You need to see your hospital policy and what the physician wants. I would clarify the...

    Realistically, do I have a chance at a direct entry-level MSN program? :(

    NurseGirl525 replied to cn4207's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Be careful with going into a direct entry program. You may have a difficult time finding a job afterwards with no bedside experience. I'm not sure who hires Nurse Practioners with no actual nursing...

    Questions from My wheelchair about Nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to Totalnoob's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't know if you honestly could get into a nursing program because they require you to pass a physical which includes lifting a certain amount of weight. Mine was 50lbs. That's where I see your...

    How I passed NCLEX

    NurseGirl525 replied to jamin34and5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I disagree that UWorld is like NCLEX. I did not find one study aid to be anything like NCLEX. I feel they all focus on content way too much. They make the questions way more difficult than they...

    Nurse vs. Kindergarten Teacher?

    NurseGirl525 replied to JustiPasano's topic in General Students

    It's about what will make you happy in life. It shouldn't be about money or time in school. Yes, nurses make more, but you can live off of a teacher's salary. I know people who hate teaching, and...

    Working Out and Working?

    NurseGirl525 replied to suzibk215's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's hard to get back into that rhythm. I'm finally finding my groove after 6 weeks. I've added a little bit of stamina to my body so I'm not so exhausted when I get home. I can't get up at 4am. It...

    To The Girl Thinking of Becoming a Nurse (a note to myself at 17)

    NurseGirl525 replied to BobiJo's topic in General Nursing

    I loved this. I did not see where this was all religion. I got how nursing is hard and all the struggles, but it's worth it. As a new grad, and a newbie RN, I find this inspirational. Coming from...
