  1. Reality check: Are my expectations high?

    BusiestBSN replied to lewisac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you get to nursing school (especially a top ranked one like you said), it will be different than high school or general college. Most of these students are very bright, type A and used to a 4.0...

  2. Nursing School

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

    Why not just do your gen eds at a community college? Plenty of people do and then transfer to a 4 year university for nursing school. It is better on your bank

  3. About That Avatar...

    BusiestBSN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I've said it before... AN provides the luxury of staying anonymous. Facebook does not. When I had one, it required me to use my actual name and wanted me to fill out all of my details (school, work...

  4. Fundamentals instructor doesn't teach.

    BusiestBSN replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    On the bright side... at least this is for Fundamentals & not a harder class such as Med Surg. I know of students who cry wolf with all instructors. It occurs any time they get a bad grade. These...

  5. Open to advice for new nursing student/visual learner

    BusiestBSN replied to runforme82's topic in General Students

    I am visual and like using "charts". With each powerpoint, especially in courses Med Surg, I make a nursing process chart for each disease. By seeing it in this "chart" format, I am able to recall the...

  6. The Value of AN

    BusiestBSN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think AN is a lot like the real world. People ask for advice & either do not want to take it or get offended by what is provided back to them. This is a particularly useless way to react...

  7. Three months to kill before Nursing School... what to do

    BusiestBSN replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

  9. Research...ugh

    BusiestBSN replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    @Julesmama28, I have a lit review sample from my research class. If you PM me, I can send it to

  10. I can't get over my failure...

    BusiestBSN replied to jead1's topic in General Students

    You are repeating one year... You will definitely be a nurse by 30! Learn from your mistakes rather than continually trying to relive

  11. Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    BusiestBSN replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Oh no, you even did it at the end of your post! I find that when I put myself in the patient's position, I would much rather have a nurse who acknowledges my situation & shows sympathy ("I'm...

  12. Nursing school

    BusiestBSN replied to ssinurse2015's topic in General Students

    I have a proctored ATI exam at the end of each course. I find a lot of faults with ATI for some courses when contradictions occur. But I have found it very helpful with dosage &

  13. Cadaver Work

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

    I went to a cadaver lab and got to "play around" on different bodies. It was a very odd feeling but after 10 minutes, I was fine & found it interesting. Enjoy your

  14. Anyone in a school where there are literally 3 students per instructor?

    BusiestBSN replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    It just seems odd that you "signed up" for this University BSN

  16. VA valor program

    BusiestBSN replied to Julesmama28's topic in School, College Programs

    That is awesome! I wish my school had it. I eventually want to work in a VA hospital, so that sounds like an amazing

  17. VA valor program

    BusiestBSN replied to Julesmama28's topic in School, College Programs

    I have not, but that sounds really interesting. Can you explain what it

  18. Please somebody help me

    BusiestBSN replied to mgonzalez4's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Bowie is probably the closest school in terms of commuting. But Maryland has many other (awesome) BSN programs: Maryland, Salisbury, Towson, Notre Dame, Hopkins, Coppin and Morgan. You may be able to...

  19. Joining the military as a nurse

    BusiestBSN replied to jvacc's topic in Government, Military

    Have you spoken to a recruiter yet? My SO is currently in the military (deployed) and SoldierNurse22 gave you the best rundown on what to expect. I want to emphasize what she said on selectivity. It...

  20. Get into Emory...check! Now where to live?!

    BusiestBSN replied to ccurry's topic in Georgia Nursing

    North Druid Hills is really nice, my brother lives there and attends Emory for his graduate degree. He said traffic is not bad & it is a safe neighborhood. Not to mention I loved the area when I...

  21. Has anyone ever caught you in the act??

    BusiestBSN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I trace my SO's. He has the biggest & most beautiful bulging veins I have ever

  22. When attending a traditional BSN program, are students told they're better than ADNs?

    BusiestBSN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I attend a traditional BSN program & have never been told to or coerced into thinking this way. I only ever hear about this "concept" of superiority from certain ADN nurses or students who assume...

  23. ATI anyone?

    BusiestBSN replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    My biggest problem with ATI is sometimes it does not match what my instructor (or textbook) says. This would not bother me but we take the ATI proctored exam at the end of every course. This is...

  24. Hospital Job???

    BusiestBSN replied to rawilso1's topic in General Students

    What is your resume like? I know I tailored mine around how my previous experiences fit into nursing type duties. Example: I was a daycare teacher for awhile. So on my resume, I put something like...

  25. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    BusiestBSN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    I wish I was as bad ass as meanmaryjean but I am too sentimental. I will probably keep one set of pants/top in a box somewhere in my house. I will pull them out throughout my life to recall how...
