  1. Are private schools worth it? Or should I just wait...

    futurepsychrn replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    I do not go to a diploma or degree mill. I go to a college. A private, for-profit one. When I graduate I will have my ADN. Why would you assume that it is a diploma mill? There are very few RN...

  2. Are private schools worth it? Or should I just wait...

    futurepsychrn replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    So here's my 2 cents for what it's worth. I currently am enrolled in a private, for-profit school. The cost is somewhat lower than yours but not much. My best suggestion would be to forget about the...

  3. Patient videos on social media?

    futurepsychrn replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

    I actually know someone who was able to hijack his ex-girlfriends facebook account without a password or any other info except that she had the account. So a big resounding NO to posting this on the...

  4. 1test determines it all/so unfair!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I'm studying my brains out. I appreciate the advice. Just one thing, they don't know this works, we are the test class. It's to boost their NCLEX pass rates. And I passed pharmacology with a strong B....

  5. HOW do people do well in Anatomy & P?

    futurepsychrn replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    Yep that was our lab tests also. 1.5 minutes at each station, no going back, and fill in the blank. We had boxes of plastic bones to take home and study though. The hardest part for me was having to...

  6. How do you feel about care plans?

    futurepsychrn replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    In my experience (short though it may be lol) they could be a useful tool if you can use them properly and if someone teaches you to do that. We were just handed the papers and told to make a care...

  7. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    futurepsychrn replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Yes it's that

  8. I want to throat-punch my co-worker

    futurepsychrn replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The book is waaaay better! The only movie I ever thought was better than the book was "The Shining". That movie scared the beejesus out of me. I still occasionally have nightmares about it. It takes a...

  9. new grad: cant find a job

    futurepsychrn replied to 2016New's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow just wow! There are those of us out here that truly want to be psych nurses! It's why I'm going to nursing school. Mental illness is an illness also you know. I'm speechless. Just

  10. new grad: cant find a job

    futurepsychrn replied to 2016New's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have less than a year to go in school so I've been looking also. The residency programs where I live pay you a new grad salary while you're in the program. Most of them are about 6 months long. That...

  11. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    futurepsychrn replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread truly scares the crap out of me! I think it's called "illusions of grandeur" and it's scary how many people know someone that is trying to pass themselves off as a nurse. Makes me wonder...

  12. Why is it so hard to get A's?

    futurepsychrn replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always heard that an "A" student is a "B" student in nursing school. As for a social life, we were told at orientation to tell our friends and family goodbye for the next 2 years. We thought...

  13. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    futurepsychrn replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    2nd year nursing student. Too far in to quit. NO I would not do this again. With me it's the politics involved in nursing. I love the nursing aspect just hate the politics that go along with

  14. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    futurepsychrn replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    But you got the flu shot so why do you care if they breath in your direction. If the flu shot works, as you advocate you shouldn't have to worry about getting the flu from someone breathing in your...

  15. 1st Year

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in General Students

    Sooo happy! I officially finished my 1st year of nursing school today. There were so many times I wanted to just quit. So glad I didn't! Week and a half break and then back at it. Onward I go! Looking...

  16. I give up!

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in General Students

    I'm done! I truly do not think I can take anymore! I know nursing school is hard! I know it takes a lot of focus and commitment to get through! I know there is a lot of stress involved! I get all of...

  17. I give up!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Just officially finished my first year!!!! I backed myself off of the drama, as everyone suggested, and decided I wasn't giving up my dream over silly high school like games. I think I can finally see...

  18. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    futurepsychrn replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

  19. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    futurepsychrn replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Don't wait until your children are grown to go back to school! You could have made their life so much better than it was. Don't stay with him because you think it has to get better, it won't!...

  20. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    futurepsychrn replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

  22. clinicals

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in General Students

    Just a general question. In clinicals do you get to go to lunch on your own or do you have to stay at lunch with your instructors? We aren't allowed to even step outside for anything. We have to stay...

  23. clinicals

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for your input. The class decided we needed to speak to administration about our clinical experiences, which we did. They are now trying to initiate some changes to our benefit....

  24. clinicals

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Um, I'm not the one who brought up

  25. clinicals

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I thought long and hard about the age issue before I started nursing school. It's a sensitive subject with me. I have made a lot of friends in my class and clinical group. That being said, all but 1...
