    Starting nursing school in 17 days!!

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

    So you are doing your prereqs? These sound like prereq classes. The only place we had a dress code is lab where we had to wear scrubs. Now in the program, we have a dress code. Regular scrubs for...

    Violation of labor laws- looking up pts prior to clocking in

    NurseGirl525 replied to telee73's topic in General Nursing

    It's an OSHA law. You are not covered under Workmans Comp if you are not clocked in. So any little injury is not covered and then you are out. So say you got tendonitis in your wrist from being on...

    NurseGirl525 replied to treeye's topic in Patient Education

    I had to get my immunizations and tigers a couple of weeks ago. There was a student in my doctors office. I let her do it because I will be the student soon. She did amazingly well. I will admit I...

    NurseGirl525 replied to mag426's topic in General Students

    We have a cohort that stays on a schedule. Our advisors register us. There are limited amount of seats in the program. At my school you just can't register for classes. The only person that can...

    Yes, it will. I would wait until I found a job and checked their policy. It's hard enough to find a job. Why make it

    Hep B Booster

    NurseGirl525 replied to len1011's topic in General Students

    We just have to have our first dose done by sept. I'm confused why you have to have a titer done if a doc signs off that he is immunizing you. That's all I have to do. I just had a titer drawn...

    Frightened by Apparent Ineptitude

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

    I was going to say we registered for our classes at orientation. Our advisors had to go in and change our programs so we could get the nrsg classes. We wrote ours on paper and then the advisor put...

    Drug Seekers

    NurseGirl525 replied to KYARNP's topic in Emergency

    So, you think that the people who are calm are drug seekers, as the people who are crappy about their pain? This kind of thinking demonstrates my point exactly. If I was nice, there is no way I was...

    Drug Seekers

    NurseGirl525 replied to KYARNP's topic in Emergency

    I grow weary of these posts and I will tell you why, I think the drug seeker label is way over used. Anyone anymore coming to the ER with nausea and vomiting is considered a drug seeker. I had...

    Galen Nursing or any other places?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nina78711's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your school needs to be accredited for several reasons. I don't know if this is a for profit school or not, but stay away from those places. Your credits won't transfer and no one will hire you. So...

    My Nursing Future

    NurseGirl525 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Nursing Career

    Take care of yourself first! I would not let it go inactive if you plan on returning. It's a small fee to pay to keep it active. I stayed home with my son until he was 8. I could have probably...

    Anyone attend/graduate Chamberlains nursing program in Chicago?

    NurseGirl525 replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, no, no. Run away from these type of school. They are for profit. They could care less if you graduate. They want your money, that's it. Please continue at your community college. And do not...

    Nursing requirements

    NurseGirl525 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    I would call the person that takes care of all of the paperwork for the nursing program. They may not let you in for liability reasons. What if you contract Hep B at

    NurseGirl525 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it! I passed my final prereq which was College Algebra. It was my first class online and it was a subject that I am not very strong in. I struggled big time with it, but my end goal was just...

    To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school does a points system. They look at 4 classes and Teas only. There are 20 seats available in the RN. And either 20 or 30 in the LPN. Those of us in the RN got all A's in the required 4...

    How long ago did you graduate from the ASN program? How many times have you taken the NCLEX? Instead of constantly moving around to get more time, you may not be understanding basic nursing concepts...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ONCRN2017's topic in General Students

    My ex husband does not have a college degree and makes a boatload of money. If you become good at a trade, that is honestly where the money is. College degree does not equal money. It just means...

    4.0 is the golden ticket!

    NurseGirl525 replied to kwilson251's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school also goes off a points system. I got all A's in the classes they look at. I got a B in one of the classes they didn't. I think I got a B in my last prereq but I had already been

    And that what I am saying, they are just so desperate for any answer, they will listen to defunct science until a true answer is found. It is sad in my opinion that this is what happens, but it does....

    It depends. I would think anyone could be potentially be your patient, especially in a hospital. I just wouldn't order while working. Do it outside of work. You can't tell people they can't do...

    How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    NurseGirl525 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    You have another problem also. You have been kicked out of a school for academic dishonesty. I don't know of another school that will not look at that. That is a huge no-no. I also don't...
