    Which is the best nursing program for a mom?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Annie_L's topic in School, College Programs

    Those are all super expensive. How are you going to pay for it? Do you not have to work

    I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

    You are focusing on the wrong things. Who is doing the drug testing and the fact you don't think it's a big deal. You were kicked out of the program. You may very well have torched your career....

    Is college of the mainland any good?

    NurseGirl525 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Students

    Lol. I'm sorry. You are focusing on the wrong things. Look at accreditation, pass rates, the quality of instructors, the cost.... The smell or looks should not concern you. Unless, they don't...

    What to do about incompetent school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to moongirl90's topic in General Students

    Well then, just quit. The same advice I gave somebody else. Either you came this far to graduate and be a nurse, or you let outside forces make you quit. It's your money, your time, not ours. You...

    I'm starting to think this field attracts a lot of crazy people

    NurseGirl525 replied to swirlies's topic in General Students

    I say, quit. It's that simple. I work with incredible nurses and had an awesome one in clinical today. You can't hang? Get out

    Nursing School Nightmares Book Project

    NurseGirl525 replied to RNSF's topic in General Students

    So other people will be writing this but they won't get any of the money? You will be profiting from other people's ideas? Is that how I'm to understand

    What ABSN Programs will accept a low overall GPA of 2.5?

    NurseGirl525 replied to RNMonkey's topic in General Students

    They are all extremely competitive to get into. You need to find some programs and look at their requirements. Some ASN programs will have a min gpa to apply, but will go off a points system. They...

    Tuition for nursing school...

    NurseGirl525 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I would say lesson learned. You could have chosen a cheaper school. Nobody can guarantee you scholarship money. Especially an advisor at another school. You knew the cost going into this. I'm...

    Please help, super conflicted!

    NurseGirl525 replied to FSUMurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ICU. I currently work in a Level One Trauma ICU and I drive an hour each way. It's mainly interstate so it's not so bad. Next month, I will be moving closer but it still would be about 30 minutes...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nona moh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you eligible for a Pell Grant if you are not a US citizen? Do you file taxes here? You are very confused on the Pell Grant. It does not cover all of your tuition if you are going to school...

    Confused on How to even Start Toward Nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to Frixell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to find a college with a nursing program and complete their prereqs. Each school is different on what they require. They also differ on what entrance exam they require. Hospitals these...

    Accounting to nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to ILNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm also curious as to why you want to switch, especially to a CRNA. It's going to be a long and expensive road. Have you talked to financial aid at any school yet to see if you have any left?...

    BSN vs RN...is it worth the tuition difference? I already hold a BA if that matters

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mkakids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, you need to understand the difference here. The ASN or BSN are the degrees you hold from college. The RN is the license. An ASN and BSN are both RN nurses when they pass NCLEX. You...

    Why would you give this up??

    NurseGirl525 replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    I'm 40 and I'm going to be doing bedside on nightshift. I'm a PCT now. It doesn't kill my body and I love it. We use lots of different methods for turning patients that don't kill out back. We...

    Thinking about quitting (yes, one of these)

    NurseGirl525 replied to aperry245's topic in General Students

    I think first try meds. If that doesn't work, consider another career. You will have people's lives in your hands. You can't be having panic
  17. NurseGirl525

    Any advice/study mechanism before taking the NCLEX?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kitty333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome advice as I will be prepping to take mine hopefully in

    Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    NurseGirl525 replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't see it as a big deal. I wear fun headbands. Unless it's against company policy, do what you want to do and don't worry about anybody

    NurseGirl525 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We are docked in increments of 15 minutes. One morning I ended up being a couple of minutes late because I was confused on where we were meeting. The hospital has an absolutely ridiculous place for...

    NurseGirl525 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    Struggling with some doubt...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    School is teaching you how to take the NCLEX, nothing else. They are not training you to be an actual nurse. You will learn that on the job. Schools make their money off of pass rates and they get...

    How do nurses work with each other in the hospital?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nyletak's topic in General Nursing

    Why do people think it's so unpleasant to toilet a person or bathe them? It's truly not a big deal. Think about it, how would you feel if you were incontinent? Would you be embarrassed and...
