    Nursing student lacking passion?

    NurseGirl525 replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    You mean a passion to care for the sick and dying and cleaning up smelly, bodily fluids? No, I don't. I also love the science and medical part of nursing. I'm passionate about pathophysiology and...

    Denial Back Into program

    NurseGirl525 replied to natkoz82's topic in General Students

    Yet again, I have to agree with Lady Free. Everyone has a story and you successfully completed your prereqs. My sister was diagnosed with ADHD in college. She made it through just fine before and...

    Someone please explain

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

    They just want to know if you know the basics. How much remediation would you need before going into the program. So if you don't have the basics down you may not be ready for the more complex...

    Low GPA

    NurseGirl525 replied to nico_2451's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nobody is a naysayer. Just giving this person a reality check. The min GPA at my school is a 2.5 to apply, but if you are not close to a 3.7 and above, you won't be considered. You have to get all...

    How to pay for BSN & CRNA School

    NurseGirl525 replied to bailey1769's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a realistic expectation of what a nurse does? Are you absolutely positive that you want to leave being an architect? What are looking for in being a nurse that you don't get as an...

    Is This Bullying?

    NurseGirl525 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I need some advice. I'm taking the composition of red jello as a class this fall. It's a requirement to get in the program. But I've failed it twice already and it is my dream to be a nurse. I...

    Nursing book bag..help!

    NurseGirl525 replied to NURSEY92's topic in General Students

    Mine will be staying in the car and I will just be taking the ones I need in. I just could not bring myself to get a huge rolling backpack. They look so bulky and like a giant trip

    Is This Bullying?

    NurseGirl525 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Look, please don't judge me because I know it's dumb, but I ate some green jello the night before my interview at a hospital that only accepts red jello. I just had so much anxiety. Now, they want...

    registering in pearsonvue with maiden name

    NurseGirl525 replied to teecee328's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well seeing as how you haven't changed your name yet, don't answer 2 and 3. Your name is the same. Many, many people get married and never change their name and many nurses have never been

    Do I have to join facebook?

    NurseGirl525 replied to lampard's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I honestly wouldn't. Now that Facebook can recognize your face in a picture and automatically tag you, I would not do it. Let me say, I do have a Facebook page but nothing is connected with my...

    Is This Bullying?

    NurseGirl525 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would just like to add this constitutes horizontal or lateral violence. This is a very serious issue and must be dealt with immediately. Do you think ADNs will be phased out over red jello? So...

    School

    NurseGirl525 replied to lisaclayton77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is no accelerated ADN program. I have never heard of part time either. You could look at an accelerated ABSN program. Those do exist. But you still have to get the prereqs done first then it...

    THC

    NurseGirl525 replied to DMDC's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    The fact of the matter is, if you have a drug test you are toast. You have to decide what is more important to you. I know that stinks but until it is legal for nurses I would maybe look into other...

    Can an employer ask this question?

    NurseGirl525 replied to luvhospics's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Please get treated for your bipolar first. When someone goes through a manic episode they do not realize how they come off to other people. They always think they come up with fantastic, creative...

    I am almost ready is it to late?

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

    It's, not too late. I have good friends who are in their 50's. My only question is can you physically do it? A RN has a physically demanding job. Are you fully recovered from your

    As of tomorrow, I'm no longer PRE-nursing!

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

    I start the RN program next Tuesday. My nerves are starting to get to me a little. Trying to get everything done. I have my supplies and books. Med paperwork is done. Just need to get my CPR done...

    Do you think ADN programs will really be phased out?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually in my area it's harder to get in an ADN program than a BSN program. Look at the people who are becoming nurses. People in their thirties, second career nurses. I don't see as many people...

    Should I try out Social Work

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

    It honestly depends on what you want to do. No guarantee that you will get in next year either. Like Ladyfree said you could apply to the PN program or try at another school. But you need to decide...

    Interested In Nursing: What would you do?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ysage94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk with a financial aid counselor to see what would be best at this point. You may run out of time for financial

    What commuter said. All those schools want is your money, nothing else. Go to a community college where someone actually might hire you later

    TEAS V Exam

    NurseGirl525 replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got a 78 on mine which is considered advanced. It was one of the higher scores and it got me in the program. It's not really that big of a

    My poor husband

    NurseGirl525 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I would totally get him the med appt. But maybe not as the present. Just as honey, hey I love you get this checked? Think maybe you are approaching this wrong.

    The real reason your failing in school

    NurseGirl525 replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    This makes no sense. Eventually, the for profit schools will go under. But that is a separate story entirely. Most schools have great NCLEX pass rates or they would not be accredited. Plus, most...
