    Though I'm suspecting we're just being trolled now, I will say this: social studies (you mean sociology, right?) is not hard for anyone in college. It's just one of those things they make everyone...

    What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm working full time (3 12s) and I'm in nursing school. I relish the day I find, apply and get offered a job that I can go back to 5 8s. Three 12 hour shifts is just not as ideal as it sounds. It...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I still don't understand where all this OT is at. Where is the OT at??? And, more importantly, do I want to work there? Three days a week ultimately is more tiring than a regular, old 5-day, 40 hour...

    Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that people are making light of the OP is more of a function of the prior posts made by this person than anything else. Yes, parabens are gross. I'm lucky I don't have to think about them...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really curious where you seem to think all this overtime is available. Some hospitals go out of their way to make sure you know it's highly undesirable to work OT (also, if you're single, your OT...

    Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    That must be great to have time to prepare and have business casual attire ready to go to school. I'm sorry, but that just means I have to take more time out of sleep. I go to school looking quite...

    Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I think the weirdest thing was that, at the time, we were so entrenched in our white uniforms, that even the hair ties had to be white. That seemed really strange to me as this seemed to be more...

    How to Get a 4.0 In Nursing School (The Easy Way)

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    The OP brought up some good points such as not trying to be a hero and do all the reading. I've seen a number of students think they need to get through the 46 assigned chapters in the first week of...

    Weeding Out.

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to SabineEffect's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ummm...at my school, the first class bio majors take 30-40% of the people are weeded out. For our pre-nursing, however, such a culling does not occur. Bio majors. People who are not necessarily going...

    How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    I agree with much of what has already been said. You may seem mature for your age (honestly, my 19 yo self was not that far from my 22 yo self so....) but there is a lot of self-reflection and...

    Nursing School No Longer Going by Their Own Policies

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to dholly2015's topic in General Students

    Oh the stories I could tell about my own program.... Your school's NCLEX pass rate is higher than mine. Don't worry about these things. At the end, it doesn't really reflect on you because it's up to...

    Compared to things I've seen/heard of at other places, you're fine. Don't worry about it. Just get through and graduate -- that is your only concern right

    Nurses: How far is your commute?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    74 miles one way. In the AM, it takes about 2 hours to get in (LA traffic, y'all). When I leave, it usually takes about 85 minutes to get back home. As others said, it gives me time to get ready for...
