  1. Career Change & Telling Your Boss

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I quit my job and picked up nannying jobs to pay my bills. I never could have managed my career job and courses together- my job just took way too much brain power and I would have had nothing left...

  2. Free and/or low-cost technology for school

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

  3. ABSN programs: a few questions

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to ripsky4501's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really truly varies. I applied to two programs, one that didn't require much to apply and one that required several letters of recommendation, personal statement, and interviews (although they said...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    A friend fell and hurt her back. While getting x-rays and scans for that they realized she had a major vessel that was 95% occluded. She was totally asymptomatic and in good shape. She had surgery and...

  5. Getting a C in Anatomy :(

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She's being told that because of her very inappropriate response to another member's post that she didn't like. I know you can't see what that response was because it has been edited and removed by an...

  6. Select all that apply :(

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    Instructors are now being told that they should have at least 10% of the exam questions be SATA. It stinks, but the more you do them the better you get. If your school uses elsevier you can buy an...

  7. Should I make a stink about this?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you "make a stink" about this and have even a fraction of this attitude with your professor and you were at my university you would have been hit with an incivility reprimand faster than you could...

  8. Free and/or low-cost technology for school

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    We used post-it notes and labeled the models, then we took pictures. We studied pictures with and without the post-it note answers. That way we were studying from the models we were being tested with....

  9. Getting a C in Anatomy :(

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't normally comment on posts like this, but I've seen some of your other postings and I have to say- if you want to go into nursing you need to grow a thicker skin. I don't always agree with...

  10. Free and/or low-cost technology for school

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    https://products.office.com/en-us/student/office-in-education Sometimes you can get access to the office suite for free. When I had to replace my laptop during school a fellow student sent me this...

  11. ABSN+MSN or ABSN

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to apop1's topic in General Nursing

    There's no specialization and I would recommend working first before deciding. There are so many options, some that you may not even be aware of yet. I did a 2nd degree BSN program and I had a friend...

  12. Best BSN fast track degree ?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to emilyleah's topic in General Students

    I just want to point out that there is at least one program that is truly less than a year. I had graduated and passed boards before the 1 year mark of starting school. My school says it's an 11 month...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Some of the nurse residency programs accept nurses that have less than a year of acute care experience. That could be another way to get your foot in the door in a

    Drexel's should be open for next fall- they do rolling admissions. I found this by googling "Jefferson fact application deadline" FACT - Thomas Jefferson University - Thomas Jefferson University i...

  15. ABSN vs MSN-E

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to asdfjazz's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a 2nd degree ABSN nurse. All my instructors emphasized the fact that we should get experience before continuing on in any type of masters/doctorate programs. Just because programs will accept you...

  20. I failed my 1st fundamental of nursing exam

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to stepmelisa's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up too hard about this- that will only make things worse. One exam grade can't determine what will happen the rest of your time as a nursing student. Use this as a learning...

  21. Med adm. via n/g tube, simple question.

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Insanotron's topic in General Students

    Per Potter and Perry you are supposed to crush and administer each medication separately and flush between each medication (whether or not that is really done is a different story). Look at steps 11,...

  22. Clinical Rotation Gear Inquiry; Thank You

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Ruder's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My school "gave" us the classic II ( we paid for it as part of a very large lab fee). It was good for school and is my back-up one now. As for the penlight buy a large and cheap pack off Amazon. They...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Shonlg's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I passed my exit HESI the first time with close to 1000. My best advice is to focus on areas you are weakest and pay particular attention to safety, fundamentals and leadership. There is also a HESI...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    I took it as a 5 week summer course and like others have stated- it was fill in the blank. We used post-it notes and labeled the models and then took pictures. We studied pictures with and without the...

  25. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I did the shortest accelerated 2nd degree BSN program in the country. It was 87 credits in 4 ten week quarters over the course of 11 months. We took 21-24 credits a quarter. I also commuted an hour+...
