    Finally!!!

    nalie2 replied to ERNurseErica's topic in General Students

    I'm currently a nursing student (3rd semester) and a student nurse worker in the ER. While I don't have the most experience to answer your question I can tell you that what you will learn will depend...

    DWI

    nalie2 replied to Ccc123's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If you got it 3 weeks ago then perhaps you will not officially be charged with a DWI if you explain what happened to the judge. They might give you a lesser

    Should I go back to the same nursing school I failed out of

    nalie2 replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    I would go back to the same school. You are already familiar with the school and the instructor, too. You failed by so little so I'm sure your next time will be easier for you. Good

    Clinical: having THAT nurse

    nalie2 replied to SRN2018's topic in General Students

    If they are getting in the way of your learning then tell your instructor. I have dealt with unfriendly, rude, and uncaring nurses during clinicals but very seldom would they interfere with my...

    What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    nalie2 replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    I'm just going to chime in and agree with others that you haven't given examples of why you are having issues with the instructor. Please give us some examples to best help you. Some professors don't...

    What should I study ahead?

    nalie2 replied to june82's topic in General Students

    I know this isn't what you want to hear because it wasn't what I wanted to hear when I asked this question before starting nursing school, but relax! Take this down time and enjoy it. I would do some...

    Help: I failed out of nursing school

    nalie2 replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    I think you really need to address the anxiety to be successful. Whether you go the LPN to RN route and so on you will still have to be in nursing school and you are just taking a longer way to get...

    Having seriously a really hard time.

    nalie2 replied to luxxxnova's topic in General Students

    I'm in Southern California as well. I didn't even know schools offered online labs, I thought they had to be done in person. Sorry I can't be of any help to you, but you might have to do the research...

    CNA to BSN programs??

    nalie2 replied to ShelbyS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in California and have never heard of a CNA-BSN program. I did a lot of research on schools and never saw that, but since it didn't apply to me perhaps I didn't notice it. The majority of the...

    Do I have hope for getting into nursing school?

    nalie2 replied to allyj13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you even question it?! You're in great standing unless the schools you want to get into are severely competitive. Honestly, look at the schools that you want to apply to and look at their...

    Which plan of study would you choose?

    nalie2 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go with option 2. Gen bio can easily be done during the summer even with dev psych. Taking A&P for a full term will you give more time to learn it at a slower pace. I took anatomy and...

    4.0 Student...Didn't get in

    nalie2 replied to busybeeSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely know what it's like to be disappointed. My first round of applications were to all BSN programs and not one school let me in. I had around a 3.25 GPA and ~92 HESI & ~84 TEAS scores...

    Do you keep your school binders?

    nalie2 replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dumped all pre-req stuff, but have kept all nursing school papers just in case I need them for future classes or NCLEX. So far, I haven't had a need to look up anything from pre-req

    Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    nalie2 replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure it's not what you want to hear, but I think waiting for a CC is your best option. I'm not familiar with the Nurse Corps loan repayment, but I'm assuming you have to apply and that isn't even...

    The skeleton test

    nalie2 replied to Zachtaylor1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure you are sleeping and resting in between your studying. You need this for your brain to process all the info. As far as differentiating between the malleolus what helped me was looking at the...

    Does it get easier after anatomy class?

    nalie2 replied to Elsa15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe the classes get in easier in a sense. Easier because A&P is your foundation and you will use that knowledge in nursing

    Is age an advantage or disadvantage for nursing school?

    nalie2 replied to Liveinthemoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are definitely pros and cons for being younger or older. Being younger the pros are you are probably ambitious and have a better memory. With age and plenty of alcohol my memory has gone...

    nalie2 replied to motacindy's topic in California Nursing

    Of course they don't guarantee a job but it's really great not having to pay the full tuition up front. You really just have to think about it all. Even though I had the chance to go to nursing...

    nalie2 replied to motacindy's topic in California Nursing
