  1. What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

    BusiestBSN replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    I love Plum Paper on etsy.com! You can design your planner format (weekly layout) & start your planner for whatever month you need. I just ordered an 18 month calendar from Fall 2014 until early...

  2. Should I work while in school?

    BusiestBSN replied to CLin's topic in General Students

    I am a full time student in a BSN program & I work per diem for a few hours each week. I do it for the experience & to pay off some minor bills. I keep up with school work by scheduling my...

  3. Nurse Extern Hiring

    BusiestBSN replied to mk989's topic in General Students

    I would consider making your radius more broad if you have not already. Apply to as many hospitals as you can, especially hospitals you have had clinicals at where you might have

  4. Would you move for a school?

    BusiestBSN replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. I moved 2 hours away. But I do not have kids, so I did not have that sort of

  5. Test taking techniques

    BusiestBSN replied to Jayjormom's topic in General Students

    I loved that book! I used it for my first semester & then sold it back to Amazon after finals. I recommend

  6. ADN, ABSN or PA

    BusiestBSN replied to Jaz2angel's topic in General Students

    I think your GPA does limit you on ABSN or PA, so you may have to go the ADN path instead. It is a good option because you can always advance once you finish the ADN. It will just take

  7. In need of work

    BusiestBSN replied to Tesfanurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Apply to many, many jobs even if you do not necessarily like the unit or the shift. The most important thing is to get your foot in the door. After you get hired and spend some time on that particular...

  8. Good Planner

    BusiestBSN replied to emergenceRN17's topic in General Students

    I need a paper planner for whatever reason so that is what I look for. Some good ones are the Vera Bradley student planner, the Uncalendar, Erin Condren Life Planner and Plum Paper's student planner....

  9. What Do You Eat?

    BusiestBSN replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Breakfast (beforehand because it's super important): brown sugar oatmeal mixed with light almond milk, a banana and 2 cups of coffee Lunch: Peanut butter sandwich, strawberries or grapes, and sliced...

  10. How much education do you plan on receiving?

    BusiestBSN replied to daetor2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already had 2 associate's degrees (one in pre-nursing & one in psychology), so I went straight for the BSN & graduate next spring. I want to eventually become a

  11. Student Advice

    BusiestBSN posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi, everyone! I have a paid preceptorship in the ER this summer that starts next week. I am nervous because I am just entering my senior year of nursing school and this is my first hospital job. If...

  13. Advice for externships

    BusiestBSN replied to sesiliachan's topic in General Students

    My school offers a practicum (preceptorship) during the last semester before graduation. But I still applied to an external residency for this summer at the local city hospital. First, I went onto...

  14. Any Advice for New Nursing Students?

    BusiestBSN replied to jrabbit0811's topic in General Students

    Nursing is the hardest thing I have ever done (I am in my early 20s)... BUT it is completely doable. Think about it. Every semester, thousands of nursing students graduate and one day, it if is meant...

  15. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    BusiestBSN replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    You do sound like a busybody. I saw your post about wanting to give him a heads up, but this sounds like the real reason that you are concerning yourself. Your friends are their own person, they...

  16. Is it really that bad?

    BusiestBSN replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    No need to belittle someone with snark for not having the responsibility of a family. Adults make their own choices. Yours was to have a family and then pursue

  17. I want to adopt a dog from a shelter

    BusiestBSN replied to alexhecht's topic in General Students

    I also suggest looking into a pet daycare. Maybe once a week on your busiest or longest day, drop your pup off so they get a busy day of play. They will come home exhausted and sleep that night &...

  18. Is it really that bad?

    BusiestBSN replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Yes it is intense, but people graduate every semester from nursing school. It is different for every student, even students in the same program, so your experience can differ from ours. I work my...

  19. All nurses/intended nurses welcome!

    BusiestBSN replied to ECU17's topic in General Students

    Take the advice, ECU17. Even if they were members willing to answer, I doubt your instructor wants you to cite the AllNurses website (made up of anonymous posters) as your research source for a...

  20. how did YOU pull up your grade to a 3.0 higher (jun, seniors)

    BusiestBSN replied to Losa's topic in General Students

    I studied my butt off. I did look over your previous post. You should probably talk to your school's counselors, see what they recommend, & make a game plan. This will not be a quick fix. You...

  21. Babies and nursing school

    BusiestBSN replied to brazooke's topic in General Students

    I would wait because does it really matter if your child has a sibling close in

  22. Will a Nurse Clinical Residency help me land a job?

    BusiestBSN replied to super nerd's topic in General Students

    No schools by me offer clinical nurse residency programs for students. Only the hospitals do & they pay YOU if you get selected. This then leads to a job offer for when you pass the NCLEX. So I am...

  23. What do you fantasize about?

    BusiestBSN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    I fantasize of the times that will be experienced after nursing school, when I do not have a constant to-do list that reminds me to study, type up a care plan or review my Saunders book (which...

  24. Study Superstitions

    BusiestBSN replied to USMCRN2015's topic in General Students

    I guess my go to is....listening to rap music while studying - preferably something fast & aggressive. Mind you, if stereotyped, I would look like the last person to listen to this genre. But we...

  25. Reduce clinical anxiety?

    BusiestBSN replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

    I love to make lists and charts, so that is what I do. I list everything that I need for clinicals. This is not just limited to materials, but also any readings or information I need to look up before...
