  1. Not passing 3rd semester ADN

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to eesh1978's topic in General Students

    It might be a different phase at your ADN program. At mine, it was the 2nd semester that weeded out 1/3 of the class. That was the infamous med surg 1 course. I'm lucky because I failed 2 exams...

  2. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Hi^5. Rutgers here too. Graduated with my BA in Psych, with a focus on pre-med path. Couldn't quite cut it past org chem, so the gravy train died there. So unlike what some other members think, I...

  3. Male and Gay?!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've only had one instance. It was with the African students. I think they're very homophobic over there so when they come over here and it's a different environment, they're not used to it. They...

  4. RN to MSN, skip the BSN?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Students

    Same here, and I asked this very same question in another thread with no response, so hoping someone with experience can answer. It's kind of a catch-22 with the whole missing the BSN, which puts you...

  5. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    You really are out of touch. The implication that CC credits don't transfer to all private university was because you considered it inferior. Now you're evading that by saying you didn't actually...

  6. Seton Hall University (SHU) vs The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) nursing programs

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to cdcruz97's topic in School, College Programs

    congratulations on TCNJ. I applied and didn't get in . But to echo what amoLucia said, I would pick TCNJ over Seton Hall simply because of the tuition and

  7. Straight to the MSN, skip the BSN postlicensure?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    And also, this appears to be kind of a weird route to take now. Everyone wants a BSN...so if I go RN-MSN, I would need experience working first before I can be taken as a legitimate contender for any...

  8. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    That's not what I said. I said people don't perceive them as nurses...just as a graduate nurse isn't perceived as a nurse. I've heard the joke before...Licensed Pretend Nurse. That's what I'm...

  9. I give up!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    the drama won't end...it never does. Look at some of the posts on here. this is a microcosm of what's out there. You will be working alongside some of these people. In one of my clinical...

  10. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Here you go. It's obvious to me you are seeing what you wrote as completely different than how I'm seeing it, so I'm not going to belabor the point. Maybe it's harder to judge how sincere your...

  11. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    I understand the technicality of it, that a GN is in fact a nurse, as stated in the title GN, but when you tell friends and family members you're a "nurse" - that's implying the whole yard (graduated,...

  12. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    I was going to stop responding, but this right here is what appears to be the problem. You make it about you. You threw out that

  13. Test taking ABC's life threatening priorities or How to read a book efficiently. -HELP

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    don't fall into the trap of ABC's, cause it's backfired on me on several exam questions. Really know your prioritization. Like in one of our exam, the question was on end of life care, and it...

  14. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    See, now you're just being pompous. There is no 'confusion' here. And at no point did I say an institution being prestigious is not challenging - it is in fact you who is saying an institution that...

  15. Will I fail my clinicals??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to givxnchy's topic in General Students

    at my school, we're not allowed to take blood sugars/chem strips in clinicals. I'm guessing because so many things can go

  16. Straight to the MSN, skip the BSN postlicensure?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm graduating with my RN (wow that was a fast 2 years) from an ADN, and I have a bachelors in a non-nursing field, so I want to do the RN-MSN route, but I have a few...

  17. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Actually it is. Your attempted reversal of my question doesn't work. A prestigious private university has more to do with its reputation for being 1) expensive (hence, the sons and daughters of...

  18. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    They don't accept CC credits because they can charge for you to take their credits. That's the only logical reason. You honestly think a Bio course at a private university that costs double the...

  19. Missed clinical! :(

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Sorry to burst your bubble, you're no different than the Hardees employee. Everyone is replaceable. Everyone. Tardiness was a huge problem at the hospital I worked as a secretary. The schedule will...

  20. Stressed about grading scale

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Success89's topic in General Students

    In my program, 93 > is an A. you go below that and it's straight to B-ville. No

  21. Is there any up from rock bottom?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to clover89's topic in General Students

    If it's something you want to do, you simply have to work hard for it and keep at it. I couldn't pass organic chem to save my life during my first round at university. I flat out got an F, I was so...

  22. I need all white leather shoes for my program. Any suggestions please?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to unknowngenius10's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have the same ones. Highly recommend it. If budget is a problem go to Payless they have white leather sneakers without logos on them. My program doesn't allow perforations in the shoes, but I've...

  23. Dear Nursing Students: We Need to Talk About Homework Help

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can't say I can relate to this, we don't have interview assignments. Edit: What I mean is that I've never seen this type of homework so I'm not understanding the post - are you saying members post...

  24. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    A floor that is short staffed has float nurses from other units, or the unit gets a break from bed control until the next shift and the new guards come in. If that particular hospital doesn't have...

  25. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    ER nurses work long hours too, sometimes covering when there is short staff or when there is a local disaster. All it takes is one bad car
