  2. Networking in Nursing School

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to RN_Mo's topic in General Students

    Don't just apply to hospitals - follow up on the application in a week or two. If there is an e-mail contact for the recruiter, that's even better. Years ago I followed up to an opening by inquiring...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to CCua's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  6. Fluids and Electrolytes made easy...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rosyariana's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I love the "...Made Easy" series. This is what I've been doing - read the textbook (once), read the corresponding "...Made Easy" book, then read the class slides, and it all pools together and has...

  7. Class communication

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Hbrmom81's topic in General Students

    WhatsApp is a good texting app that doesn't actually use your text quota (for those who don't have unlimited), so people are more accepting of it than when you ask to group text, which sounds an awful...

  8. Kicked out by half a point

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MAckles's topic in General Students

    At my school, if you flunk out with a grade less than 70 (77 is a "C" the lowest grade you can get and still pass), you simply cannot re-apply, you're done. But if you flunk out with a grade better...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    This is my experience after first semester of nursing school, and talking to other students about the various clinical instructors: some of these ladies are thoroughly insane. Numerous members of my...

  12. Alternatives for students that fail out of traditional nursing schools

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

    As terrible as it was to see the absence of 15 or so people from my first semester who obviously didn't make it to second semester, those people didn't really surprise me. They struggled all through...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to jt003's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I kinda know when an exam is coming up because the whole class is fretting about it

  16. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in General Students

    Can't one of your fellow students whip out the camera phone when one of these attacks happen? I mean, you can't fight evidence like that. Your clinical instructor would totally have no

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to colletteerinthe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Everyone on this board gives high praise for a book called Fluids & Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy - I've only read a few chapters so far, cause like you, i'm also second semester and didn't...

  18. Reflect on this! IMPORTANT!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to WeAreOfPeace's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They got rid of the HESI at my school a few years ago. We don't use it for entrance exam and we don't use it for exit, either. Instead, we have a proctored ATI assessment at the end of the...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    Think about the money. No, not the money you'll be making when you are done with all this. The school loans you'll have to pay back if you don't stay focused and make it through. That

  21. Things only a fellow nursing student would understand...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    This is why I love powerpoints - in my prior academic career, back in the 90's into early 2000's, classes were still taught using overhead projectors and *gasp* chalkboards. We had to write down...
