    Mm, I'll be completely honest. I have no idea who that is. When I say I recently started listening to country, I really mean 2 days ago. So not an expert yet. I like Thomas

    I despise that song. Especially when high schoolers/college students blast it on their radios as they drive by. Bro, you are not cool. And that song makes me want to throat punch you. I recently...

    Should I make a stink about this?

    cracklingkraken replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Addressing your original question: no, I don't think it's worthwhile in this particular case. But as one of the PPs said, asking her what kinds of things she looks for in those open-ended questions...

    Look at the requirements for the programs that you're interested in. The programs in my area were focused on the grades in my prereq classes and my TEAS

    Just FYI that if they do offer you a spot, they can rescind that offer if you cannot meet the minimum requirements. I'm trying to discourage you, but it's something to be aware

    cracklingkraken replied to Sandan8916's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yikes. When posters post a homework question without any indications that they attempted to figure it out themselves, most members are not really anxious to spoon-feed them the answers. And it is odd...

    Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    cracklingkraken replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeesh, that's a lot more lenient and forgiving than I would have been. I would have asked her to write out the key concepts, too. But in her own words! I know, I know. Where's my

    Why I should become a nurse.

    cracklingkraken replied to brendanlambe.fe's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of threads that address why nurses enjoy their profession and what makes them stay. I'm in my last year of nursing school, but I chose nursing because it offers so much diversity and...

    Breaking a New Grad Contract?

    cracklingkraken replied to badwolf4's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I understand the homesickness. Actually, when I went to college, I was going through a similar experience (relationship went bad), and I suddenly wanted to be home. With my friends and family who I...

    Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    cracklingkraken replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Or saying "literally" when they don't actually mean literally. Like "I literally had like 10 slices of pie." When the reality is, you

    A C+ student to be a future nurse?

    cracklingkraken replied to brittanyr7412's topic in General Students

    That "want" has to be strong enough to motivate you to do better. Getting into the nursing program can be competitive, so, obviously, the better you do, the higher chance you have of getting

    cracklingkraken replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    cracklingkraken replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had a student like this try to join our study group. What ultimately happened was that she asked for copies of our homework because she "wanted to check the answers" and would end up copying it. Or...
