  1. Is it possible to work full-time and be a full-time nursing student?

    RunBabyRN replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen people do it, but I don't know how they made it through, honestly. I'm married, and started the program working part time, but my boss scheduled me every second I made available (which I'd...

  2. I need help with note taking

    RunBabyRN replied to xomanderrzxo's topic in General Students

    I take all of my course notes on my laptop. I keep things very abbreviated in a way that I understand. I still do a lot of note cards, and yes, they're time consuming, but they work for me. I can't...

  3. The Threat of a "B" on a Transcript

    RunBabyRN replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with these guys. A B in algebra isn't as significant as a B or a C in a a prereq. Competition varies, but very few candidates have ALL As. I don't think a lot of schools would let you retake...

  4. Nursing not for me?

    RunBabyRN replied to mermaidmotel's topic in General Students

    Aw, hugs! What is it that you don't like about clinicals? Do you feel like you're inept? That's SUPER common among nursing students. I have classmates who cried every day on the way to clinicals,...

  5. New nursing student

    RunBabyRN replied to grneyes908's topic in General Students

    I didn't care much for the questions at the end of the chapters in ATI. I kept all of my notecards that I created over the course of the program, and am going over them as I study for the NCLEX, as...

  6. Sonoma State University Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to mswtruth's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, UCSF has a program, and that's where I hope/plan to attend. It's a masters, though there's talk of it becoming a doctorate in 2015. We'll have to see. I need a good break before I go back to...

  7. I failed my ATI "Predictor"

    RunBabyRN replied to madison14's topic in General Students

    They only gave you one attempt? Harsh! We always got a second attempt if we didn't pass ATI exams on the first try. I'm sorry to hear you have to retake the course, but at least you'll be...

  8. In need of advice

    RunBabyRN replied to CurlyLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting a bachelor's, as you mentioned, will cut you off from financial aid. Unless you plan to use your liberal arts degree, I wouldn't continue with it. How long it will take will really depend on...

  9. New grad job interview in psych

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks for the advice! I was offered a full time position, as a psych tech on nights until I'm licensed, then RN on PMs. Debating taking it... I have an offer at another hospital in my desired field...

  10. HELP!

    RunBabyRN replied to alimarie89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do you have other experience that you can word to translate to nursing? Wording can be everything. What about volunteer experience? Any associations you're a member of? Good

  11. If you could do it again, would you?

    RunBabyRN replied to 47inBrooklyn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I knew the market was going to be tough when I got out of nursing school. I've been in health care a long time, so I was there when the nursing shortage ended, and have seen the after effects. I...

  12. How long did it take you to get your first RN job?

    RunBabyRN replied to coffeemama0112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated Saturday, was offered one job in March to start once I'm licensed (per diem, in my desired area of nursing), and was offered another today to work as a tech then as an RN once I'm licensed...

  13. City College of San Francisco Nursing Program vs.Ohlone College Nursing Progam

    RunBabyRN replied to jing04's topic in California Nursing

    OP, it sounds like your gut is telling you which way to go- listen to it! There's a reason. :) I don't know what's going on with CCSF, but those kinds of situations make me worry, and I know I...

  14. Took my nclex today.. Did the Pearson vue trick....

    RunBabyRN replied to MinelaBabic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds like the good pop up! Hopefully you'll have good news confirming ASAP!

  15. Is csulb beneficial?

    RunBabyRN replied to rosamulan's topic in California Nursing

    Only you can determine if it's worth it. Few people get a bachelor's in 4 years anymore, regardless of the field. Last time I checked (and when I was accepted at LB), their program was down to 2...

  16. Texas Pre-Nursing Student, very worried about grades

    RunBabyRN replied to hopeful4thefuture's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Time to assess the situation. Why are your grades as they are? What can you do to improve them moving forward? Can you take fewer classes or cut down on work hours to focus more on getting your...

  17. To be or NOT to be

    RunBabyRN replied to toesandbows's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked at how these school pick their candidates? Some school go off of a lottery system, so everyone that qualifies is in the pot with an equal chance with everyone else. Like mrsboots87...

  18. Nursing school schedule

    RunBabyRN replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    Our class started with 24, so I'm guessing we were "lock step" (never heard that phrase before, but we didn't have any choice over when our classes were, and we were all in at the same time). We had...

  19. respiratory therapist to nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to imranramji786's topic in Nursing Career

    I've never seen a school that has a bridge from RT to RN. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but they're extremely rare if they do (or perhaps not well-regarded or accredited, like

  20. respiratory therapist to nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to imranramji786's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you considered looking at the schools in your area? That will likely be the best way to

  21. Looking past graduation and nclex!

    RunBabyRN replied to Acton's topic in General Students

    You'd have to contact the state to which you'd plan to move and find out if they accept your NY license. From there, Craigslist, Google, Indeed.com, Monster.com, all of those can be good resources....

  22. I'm a South Korea Nursing Student.

    RunBabyRN replied to Yea Ji, Oh's topic in General Students

    There is a forum for international nurses on this site, which you may find helpful. If you choose to pursue your education in Korea, you will need to contact the state to which you'd be moving to...

  23. Failed out of nursing program. What do I do?

    RunBabyRN replied to 123blah's topic in General Students

    I think it's time to take a deep breath and reassess. Look at your options, look at what went wrong, and what you really WANT at this point. If you DO want to try again, what will you do differently...

  24. What do nurses think about doulas?

    RunBabyRN replied to emde's topic in General Students

    It's not for everyone, but sometimes people who do want a non-medical birth need someone in their court that can navigate on a basic level the types of things that one will see, and have that person...

  25. anyone else struggle with Algebra

    RunBabyRN replied to 30pls_rn_in_trng's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you take the placement test? Usually they'll place you in the proper math to set you up for
