  1. Instructor won't allow us to use our own calculator for math test?

    Marsha238612 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    You're supposed to know how to set up the problem and not compute it in a "high tech" calculator and get the answer. A regular cheap calculator is all you need. That exactly what we got for our math...

  3. How to know if Nursing is right for you?!

    Marsha238612 replied to MrsPine09's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm sorry for being a Debbie Downer, but you owe too much money in school loans, and pursuing another career path will only increase that 100k debt. If it's plausible to go to CC and pay classes as...

  5. GN to NP in <1yr

    Marsha238612 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Work in pajamas!

    Marsha238612 replied to Indyrn00's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought scrubs kinda resemble pajamas either way. That's one of the reasons I want to be a nurse (sarcasm). Sent via my iPhone using allnurses.com

    Marsha238612 replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM an I trying to eliminate the path I'm currently on. I'll be starting with the LPN route but I'm not stopping until I get my BSN degree. The way I get my BSN is MY choice....

  11. Is there really a huge amount of horizontal violence(bullying) in the profession

    Marsha238612 replied to dulcet's topic in General Students

    I haven't felt any type of violence/bullying whatsoever in nursing school. If instructors are exercising their right to be strict, they can, and I've never seen that as bullying/violence. Just be...

  12. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Marsha238612 replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't understand why the confusion and the arguments of why a BSN degree is necessary. BSN nurses are the preferred option over ADNs. A BSN curriculum consists of more theory, more papers to...

  13. Young nurses

    Marsha238612 replied to pumasoccer_89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have received comments about my age before but I just smile and keep doing my assignment. There's really not much you can do to make the patient believe you're actually more mature than they might...

    Marsha238612 replied to KimHanson's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  16. Should I accept?

    Marsha238612 replied to LetsgoHawks's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd take the job if I were you since you can gain valuable experience. It is a long commute but you never know it might just be worth it. You're currently working in retail where honestly you're...

  17. Ati proctored fundamentals test

    Marsha238612 replied to k78frem's topic in General Students

    What score do you need to get for those tests?! Because in orientation they talked to us about them and if we don't pass with a certain grade(which I forgot) then we'll be terminated from the program....

  18. A selfish nurse

    Marsha238612 replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    The title of this post reads "Selfish Nurse" but wait you're not a nurse yet, you're a nursing student. Anyhow good for you on being so studious, but it takes soooo much more than that to be a...

    Marsha238612 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students
