hey, get out of LTC. It is backbreaking work, understaffed, and unprofessional. I used to work as an aide in LTC and hated it. I would never go back. Work at a hospital, much better and more help. Lighter work in my opinion. It will also inspire you ...

I am so sick and tired of America and their stupid politics and war on drugs. I am considering moving to Canada or going into home health or case management so that I will not have to worry about this on a random basis. Drug testing is a violation of...

That is some straight BS!!!! That is discrimination. I am sorry this happened to you. It does not make any sense to me. I hope you find a new job.

I have 9 weeks left. I seriously am dragging my feet at this point. I do the minimum on my assignments and I procrastinate. My last class is critical care and I am halfway done with Practicum (L&D). I cannot wait until this is over. I am going th...

If you can't take it, then quit. This is very unfair and nursing jobs are too plentiful to deal with that crap(despite what people say on here about finding a job. If you have 7 interviews that sounds plentiful to me) . Honestly I would omit it, if t...

Congrats ! So happy for you. I am so sorry about your dad and brother, stay strong! I am going to take your advice for studying. I graduate in december. Congrats again !!!

Awww how wonderful, you are so sweet and seem like you have a great heart. Yes i agree that prayerful is most powerful. That is what helped me through nursing school in the first place. I am happy you did not give up and stayed positive. Congrats. Co...

Okay so Peds yes, maternity (OB) No. At least for my school anyway, our class instructor made her exams very straight forward in OB. Anyway for Peds I bought one of those color coated flashcard books from walgreens and I filled it out front to back w...

I am not sure. I am in the same boat. He says he is planning to pop the question soon and he wants a baby very badly ! I am 21 and he is 23, well I really want to wait until I am married but I would not mind if we were engaged. I am going into my las...

I am starting the last semester of my BSN August 31st, I can not wait to be free ! lol I am nervous about where I will be doing my practicum and just getting through critical care. I am about ready to start saving for my boards and I've been bugging ...

Yea group projects suck ! Most of the time everyone does their part because everybody wants to pass, there may be 1-2 people who slack off but that is inevitable. I get pretty into it though and it turns out okay. In the beginning im like ugh, but th...

Go for it !! It is nobody's business. Don't ever let something like this stop you. I believe in you. You will have tougher things to worry about as you get through the program. Go for it ! Your sexual orientation is not a road block, it is who you ar...

That is a lot to take on. I think you should focus on one of the sciences at a time. Since these are the classes nursing programs generally look at. I took 18 credit hours as a freshman pre- nursing major back in 2011, and only had a 3.0 so maybe I a...

Congrats ! I'm so proud of you girlie ! I have one more semester to go in my BSN program. I am going to buy kapan this fall and study for about 1 hour a week until time draws closer. Then I will bump it up to 5 hours a week etc. I do not want to ove...

Yes !! All the time. He is my best support system besides other nursing students. The worst is when I get frustrated with him on exam days. I yell at him and say "you don't understand !" Then after I pass I feel so bad but he knows the routine haha. ...

Hello ! I am a BSN student and I gradate in December. I am beyond excited and it has been a very long road. I am only 22 but I have been rejected from a program before and have struggled with so much trying to make it though, as I am sure we all have...

Thank You! Yes I have to take one step at a time. If I don't I will go crazy.

Yes I really need to start looking. I have always heard good things about Saunders and Kaplan. In my school they have an optional NCLEX review course. I am not going to take it because I cant afford the extra credit hours. I think I will do fine with...

My biggest challenge at this point in my nursing program (4 months and 3 weeks left to go) is just trying to find the motivation to study!! Also, there are some people who love to act as if racism doesn't exist, but I also find it hard sometimes bein...

I have 4 months and 3 weeks left. I'm over it.

Yes I felt that way before. I was rejected from one nursing program and did not even bother applying to another. The BSN program I am in now rejected me at first, and this was after 2 years of pre reqs (I transferred so it took longer).I was devastat...

Yes you can have a social life if you manage your time correctly! I am in a sorority and I also work at a hospital and I have been able to manage. There will be times when you will feel like crap because all of you friends are out having a good time ...

Hello, I am in my 3rd semster of my BSN program and I am only halfway through. I am so depressed and I am feeling like I will never see the end of this. I am having so many financial hardships and it is ridiculous. I am always stressed and very tired...

If your so upset then go get a BSN. You are ignorant and know good and well nobody takes gym classes at a University. Im also pretty sure everyone has to take Psych. Its more than a few electives. Try leadership and assessment and critical thinking/T...

A nursing degree is not a waste of time. It really depends on what you want to do afterwards. Some people want to be a floor RN and thats it, so the ADN would be the better choice. If you want to go into management and advanced practice nursing then ...
