    Pre-nursing student fears??

    BeachsideRN replied to kat12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Strongly considering a career in nursing, can you give me advice?

    BeachsideRN replied to aek1's topic in General Nursing

    For nursing school you will have to be in the same spot for 2-4 years depending on the program. Have you considered an LPN program? They are typically shorter with fewer pre reqs. Do some research....

    BeachsideRN replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    OP do you happen to have access to a copy of the student handbook. That may be a good place to get guidance on your school's specific re-testing, or positive test policy. However, I don't think I...

    Initial Drug Test

    BeachsideRN replied to Damiapa's topic in General Nursing

    6 months? And still in your system? That doesn't seem right at all, unless you were a really, really heavy user. Do you take any meds that may cross react? I think protonix, aciphex and some of the...

    No. If you had documentation of an Rx the test would be reported to the school as negative. The school has no access to your medical record outside of what you disclose. You are still protected by...

    Since you don't have documentation you will be reported as a failed drug test, positive for benzos. It may be in your best interest to withdraw from the program before they get the result and start...

    Anyone planning to start a family before Nursing School or has?

    BeachsideRN replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
