    Pax exam, special accommodations

    NurseGirl525 replied to Blance2's topic in General Students

    You specifically said in one of your posts that your disability was not documented. If it's not documented, you can't do it. You also stated that the reason you wanted a calculator was to ensure you...

    Prior history of verbal abuse

    NurseGirl525 replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Students

    OP, there is nothing wrong with taking meds for the depression. I do. I don't feel drugged at all. One time I forgot to get it refilled and on the 5th day without that medication, I was a mess....

    Thinking about quitting nursing school

    NurseGirl525 replied to LucyJan's topic in General Nursing

    I understand people graduate high school early. I was young and graduated at 17 because I started kindergarten when I was 4. But when did you get the prereqs done? I'm having a hard time...

    APHY 101 - Ivy Tech Topics

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

    The only reason I think it's harder is trying to do it in half the time. Also with Psych 101 you will have at least two major projects to do. The final project takes some time, at least in my...

    Prior history of verbal abuse

    NurseGirl525 replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Students

    Ok, now that you said it wasn't a teacher I can now tell you my story. I'm sorry just read a lot of posts on here that make me cringe. I was married for 15 years to a man who told me I was stupid,...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Katlove10's topic in General Students

    It's hard but realize this isn't forever, just a small part of time. Are you making some time for fun? I always go out and try to have some fun on the weekends and spend my weekdays on school. I...

    Pax exam, special accommodations

    NurseGirl525 replied to Blance2's topic in General Students

    Are you kidding me right now?? You have no documented disabilities, and because the tests are timed, you think you need a calculator? I'm sorry take it like the rest of us. We all have to deal with...

    Prior history of verbal abuse

    NurseGirl525 replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Students

    What do you mean you were verbally abused? A teacher yelled at you once or was this an ongoing, abusive thing? I find that people now days seem to think getting reprimanded when they were wrong is...

    Advice on getting into Ivy Tech Nursing Program

    NurseGirl525 replied to sscherf's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure since they changed the requirements. I'm currently in the second semester in the program there. I had all As in the prereqs and got a 78 on the Teas. I have only known a couple of...

    Un-supportive Influences!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to TakilaNasirRN's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I'm failing to understand your issue. Is this your life or everyone else's? Take control and do what you need to do for you. If people don't understand, sucks to be them as far as I am...

    Days like today, the sun's out but I only see grey clouds

    NurseGirl525 replied to AcuteHissyFit's topic in General Students

    It's not easy. I've had days where I've walked in about in tears because of feeling overwhelmed with being a single mom and maybe I yelled at my kiddo or something dumb like that. One of my...

    FLAME ON!

    NurseGirl525 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what to do, this is my third job and I have been bullied at every one of them. I think it's because I'm young and pretty. Or, how do I study for A&P? Should I take these classes...

    How do you know if Nursing is right for you?

    NurseGirl525 replied to astormofswords's topic in General Students

    Confidence in nursing is important but it can be learned. Everyone has the jitters at first but you ease into it and gain confidence. You just don't want to show your lack of confidence to your...

    Am I going to a bad school or is it like this for everyone?!

    NurseGirl525 replied to DoulaJessie's topic in General Students

    This is college. I'm in a four semester RN program and this is how it works. Wait until finals when you have to know all the information for one cumulative test. This is to easy. It takes a lot of...

    It's all too fast.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lina1's topic in General Students

    It sounds like to me you are very intimidated at your clinical and are messing up the basics and just walking away. You should not have walked away from drawing the blood. You can't be scared that...

    NurseGirl525 replied to OneWish's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have fibro. It was a long journey to get to where I am right now with the right meds and routine. I spoke with my physician about what he thought of me becoming a nurse and he was very supportive...

    Any nurses or nursing students out there who have cerebral palsy?

    NurseGirl525 replied to bella201's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Feeling a bit down

    NurseGirl525 replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

    Don't feel bad. It was a mistake I'm sure thousands of others have made. I said even though I'm a woman, I'm not very familiar with my lady bit parts. Lol. I don't look down there. Unless you...

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

    Just an FYI, Penn State is a great school. I'm from PA so I know how good it is. If I still lived there that is where I would go. Most BSN programs though use the HESI as an entrance exam. You...
