    Pre-Nursing Student Dilemma

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

    If enrolling into med school is your ultimate goal, there is no point in becoming an RN first. The nursing model and medical model are completely different. And nursing is not something you should go...

    Taking anatomy 2 and nursing courses?

    cracklingkraken replied to haleyfreddie96's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the individual. Some could do it no problem, while others could barely pass the nursing program while going to school FT and having no other obligations. I don't know if getting a...

    cracklingkraken replied to haleyfreddie96's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm surprised it wasn't required for your program. I'm sure it's doable, but you may have to manage your time a bit kore than if you were just doing your nursing courses. Good luck and

    Taking notes during an interview

    No idea if you're kidding or not, but I may do that in the future if I have multiple interviews so I can distinguish which facilities were shady or not. I did laugh at the suggestion,

    Bad nursing instructor

    cracklingkraken replied to Jm12345's topic in General Students

    I do believe that I said something constructive in my post by saying that you should follow chain of command. Also, if you want to be treated like a professional, then act like one. I was not trying...

    So I can't eat my Big Mac during the interview? I do the same thing as PPs. Ask them if it's okay to take notes. And I take care to write down the names of the interviewer(s) so I can write a...

    Having trouble finding motivation to study

    cracklingkraken replied to mangotree88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same non-motivated state. I think it has more to do with the pace of my class. My Fundies and Med-Surg classes were fast paced and challenging. But this semester is very slow in comparison....

    cracklingkraken replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    That's a small window of time to plan a baby. A lot of mothers in my current program, with only one child, say how hard it is for them to be missing out on so much their child's life (especially if...
