    Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    nalie2 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    When I first started nursing school and we were told all tests were one minute per question I thought that was INSANE. After taking the first exam I realized it's not bad at all. Like others have...

    nalie2 replied to Bcfrom1222's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Volunteer at a hospital, review anatomy and physiology and I agree with the previous poster about medical terminology. Medical terminology helps SO much when going through patient's medical record and...

    Dismissed from BSN Program

    nalie2 replied to Dozier's topic in General Students

    Don't give up! I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. I was so bummed when I didn't get accepted into any of the BSN programs I applied for the first time, and now I'm in an ADN...

    Nursing student dating a nursing student

    nalie2 replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in General Students

    I think it can be done if they are mature, like the other posters have said. There is a dating couple in my current class and it hasn't been a problem. One of the persons in said couple dated someone...

    I didn't get accepted into a RN program. What should I do now? Find employment, school?

    nalie2 replied to forevermn's topic in General Students

    When I wasn't accepted my first round of applications I looked into other programs to broaden my chances. I also volunteered at a hospital since I never had any health care experience. If you can get...

    I realize I should have posted under the nursing student assistance section of this forum and I hope an admin can move my post. But anyway this isn't necessarily homework. I was given several case...

    Student Nurse Tech Position

    nalie2 replied to Fire_Girl's topic in General Students

    Oh and one more thing. Be open to work in any unit they assign. They send me to any unit that needs help and you'll get to see what units you don't want to end up in and which ones you would

    Student Nurse Tech Position

    nalie2 replied to Fire_Girl's topic in General Students

    I currently have a student nurse job, but I didn't start in first semester. I started in third semester, and I love it! My job is really flexible in terms of scheduling because they know I'm a...

    pre nursing school

    nalie2 replied to Hansel10523's topic in General Students

    I don't know if there is any way to check if you started a nursing program at another school. Honestly though, I would be truthful because the last thing you want is to be close to graduating and the...

    I think I'm getting kicked out of my program ... help

    nalie2 replied to mariawong's topic in General Students

    I'm really sorry to hear about the situation you are in. I think it is okay to be sad about it, but you have to pick yourself up and try again. It sounds like you are very willing to do so, that is...

    nalie2 replied to Helluvanurse33's topic in General Students

    You aren't going to pass the NCLEX by having classmates like you. But if you really want them to like you then stop boasting about your grades and stop saying you're very intelligent. In your post you...

    College Debt Advice

    nalie2 replied to rbkhsimpson8's topic in General Students

    Go to the community college. You'll be able to live on your own after that and you won't have to worry about loans to pay off. My brother racked up ~$50k in debt and is still paying it 6 years

    Did I screw up my first injection?

    nalie2 replied to Studentnurse2000's topic in General Students

    It's always easier on the mannequin! Don't worry. Sounds like a lot of pressure on you with all those people observing. Learn from the mistake and move on. I'm sure you'll never do it again after this...

    Missing lab for graduation @another school?

    nalie2 replied to nurse1017's topic in General Students

    It seems like you really want to go to graduation so I would look at how many labs you can miss the whole semester. Give yourself wiggle room, don't use your absence right away if you have very few...

    nalie2 replied to willvz's topic in General Students

    Calculator for drug calculations

    nalie2 replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    My school only lets us use a basic calculator and cannot be scientific. They even have us turn in our calculators before a drug dosage exam to enforce this! With the said, I didn't find a need for...
