  1. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your advice! I will be sure to study my hardest and stay out of the drama! I'm just worried I'll make one little mistake and get thrown out (like many of the posts I've seen on here)...

  2. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    It's a relief to know somebody else has had this concern before :) I will definitely take your advice to heart, especially understanding & applying vs. simply memorizing part. As a Taylor swift...

  3. Anyone have any advice/knowledge about Millikin University in Decatur?

    happyinmyheart replied to millikinblondie94's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Where I'm from, they consider where Millikan is located, "the armpit" of IL. However, I have heard nothing but excellent things about their Nursing program! It is looked upon highly, and their masters...

  4. Family member hurt my somewhat fragile new grad confidence

    happyinmyheart replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It could have been something so dumb that it's not in your control. For example, if you were nice, kind, smart, and perhaps attractive. Then maybe the wife might have preferred a nurse that she wasn't...

  5. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    happyinmyheart replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

  7. Northern Illinois University Admission to Fall 2014 Program

    happyinmyheart replied to zivinice's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know a lot of people who took the Accuplacer, because a lot of them opted out of it from doing so well on the ACT. Most of the applicants accepted (that I know)have a GPA of a 3.8 or higher....

  8. Student Uniforms

    happyinmyheart replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Red top with black pants (can only be bought through our nursing program, no other brands). These are our school colors so it works well! White, black, or gray shoes are allowed

  9. Excited about starting nursing school this spring

    happyinmyheart replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Students

    It's awesome reading these threads!! I don't start until next spring. But as a young 18 year old, I'm terrified that giving it my all won't be enough. I'm always afraid that I'n not smart enough to...

  10. PVT no longer works

    happyinmyheart replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "NCLEX now only offered 3 times per year" Makes it harder for nurses to pass the exam- resulting in less of a surplus of

  11. Northern Illinois University Admission to Fall 2014 Program

    happyinmyheart replied to zivinice's topic in School, College Programs

  13. Is it normal to not graduate "on time"?

    happyinmyheart replied to greenbean14's topic in General Students

    Everybody in my Nursing school graduates in 4 and a half years immediately, unless they declared their major as Nursing when they were a high school senior & got accepted early. No

  14. Pre-Reqs. How hard was it for you?

    happyinmyheart replied to helpmeimpoor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That definitely falls under a "study everything" category :) My first tip would be to get organized. Write all homework, quizzes, exams, and due dates in your planner. Analyze the syllabus to figure...

  15. Pre-Reqs. How hard was it for you?

    happyinmyheart replied to helpmeimpoor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My number one piece of advice is to figure out your teacher's "style". This is hard to do until after the first test. But after the first test you should know how future tests will be given. I study...

  16. Pre-Reqs. How hard was it for you?

    happyinmyheart replied to helpmeimpoor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took 16 credit hours of pre-reqs last semester and 16 credit hours of pre-reqs this semester. I've managed to hold a 4.0, but I study a tonnnn. How hard the class is depends on the subject, the...

    happyinmyheart replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    How drastic is the difference between the NCLEX passing rates? If there's a small distance I would choose the shorter commute. Just an

    happyinmyheart replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a Pre-Nursing student and I'm well aware that there's no "shortage" (thanks to AllNurses). I feel like this forum has exposed me to the real side of nursing. It's hard for all of us newbies...

  20. Northern Illinois University Admission to Fall 2014 Program

    happyinmyheart replied to zivinice's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys :) I'm wondering if any of you ended up in NIU's nursing program? I am set to start the program next year because I got admitted straight out of high school! Any advice, things you wish you...

  21. Help me understand the stigma Acute Care Vs. "The Rest of Them"

    happyinmyheart replied to SNBTaylor's topic in General Nursing

    There is an over supply of nurses in many areas of the United States. It really depends on where you live- so it's possible you live in the "in demand area". However, many places (Ex. California) have...

  22. Major and a Minor..is it worth it?

    happyinmyheart replied to kmv2497's topic in General Students

    I definitely think a minor is doable. I am doing my minor alongside my pre-requisite courses. I will be finished with it before I start actual Nursing classes. If this is something you want to do, you...
