  1. Online exams

    ExpBrittany replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    If you have studied the material from class, you should have no problems passing the exam. However, even the most prepared student can have issues. Use your books, notes & google questions on a...

  2. about to fail RN school

    ExpBrittany replied to rn2beinokc's topic in General Students

    A few points: -Do practice nclex questions. You can use your nclex book, but only focus on diseases you will be tested on. Do the questions & read the rationales. -Slow down. Read every...

  3. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    ExpBrittany posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all, I have friends who are both in traditional ADN and BSN nursing programs. The question came up about "which program is harder". As I told my friends who are in ADN programs (who I hope are...

  4. HELP! ABSN or BSN?

    ExpBrittany replied to newnurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would stay at the community college, finish your prereqs & apply to a bachelors nursing program. I only say this because I'm thinking about the amount of money you will spend to have two...

  5. What do you wish you had/known for nursing school

    ExpBrittany replied to Mockingbird86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, Since you are just starting your prerequisites, I honestly would not worry about supplies for the nursing program. I know its exciting to get new folders, pens, paper lol. I would focus on...

  6. I'm experiencing a "quarter-life" crisis...

    ExpBrittany replied to dvah1987's topic in General Students

    The OP is desperate to become a nurse. Its clear she wants to jump right into a program. She is unable at this point to look at the entire picture. All she is focusing on is "becoming a nurse."...

  7. 8 yrs post nursing school

    ExpBrittany replied to nrsnggirl's topic in General Nursing

    I too have always been puzzled as to "why" people decide to not get licensed and years later want to. I'm sorry, but there should be some type of law against this in all states. A time cap. Scary to...

  8. Any schools in IL that will take a student halfway through BSN program?

    ExpBrittany replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Hello, I'm curious to know did you get the pharm class approved before taking it? Meaning do you have an email from your nursing advisor stating that the pharm class would be transferable? I'm...

  9. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    ExpBrittany replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    Last time I checked, this was a public forum full of strangers. Who mentioned anything about her "caring", about what I thought? If you don't like the way I worded MY comment, SO WHAT. The OP is well...

  10. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    ExpBrittany replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    No you are not. I think it sounds stupid to be honest. "Where's my aide?", "Where's my nurse?". Really? The nurses I work with and other techs on the floor refer to each other by name. Makes me wonder...

  11. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    ExpBrittany replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    Judgement??? I haven't said anything that hasn't already been said by other posters. Scholarships, financial aid, and taking out a small student loan could help with cost. Doesn't matter if a person...

  12. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    ExpBrittany replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    If the OP wants to degrade herself for a few dollars (I recall her saying she made $400 bucks, lol) let her. I would NEVER do such a thing. Not so much from what others might say or think, but what my...

  13. Taking loan out to cover expenses during nursing school

    ExpBrittany replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think taking out student loans is a bad thing. I think it depends on "how much" is taken out. Try working part time first to see how things go. I know TOO many students who have failed...

  14. Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    ExpBrittany replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    Why does it matter to you how many chances someone else gets? I understand you have the right to feel this way. I too read some of the stories on here, and shake my head in disbelief. Seriously, it...

  15. Failed out of RN program on final semester

    ExpBrittany replied to goddessily's topic in General Students

    Please disregard the disrespectful response from autism4life.” I have a 9 year old nephew who is Autistic. I did not feel you were using your child's disability as a crutch or wanting sympathy....

  16. Summer: Review books to prep for clinicals? :)

    ExpBrittany replied to swimgrl554702's topic in General Students

    Hi, - For my patho class, I used "Pathophysiology Made Easy." -Med surg I used "Fluid & Electrolytes Made Easy." Also Silvestri Saunders NCLEX 6th ed (purple book). -I used my pharm book when I...

  17. Help!!Does anyone know of BSN programs that will accept failed nursing school students

    ExpBrittany replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry to hear that you failed out of your program. Is this your first fail or second? As I enter my senior year of my program, this is the biggest fear of mine. Seeing that you did not give any...

  18. Retake?

    ExpBrittany replied to wildearth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to your instructor. I don't know what kind of student you are, but hopefully if you have participated in class, good attendance and you have a good relationship with the instructor, the grade...

  19. Tips on how to study for finals

    ExpBrittany replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    It depends. If the exam is cumulative & you have struggled this entire semester, you are gonna be in trouble. If it's new material, review your notes, read any tables & charts in your book, do...

  20. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    ExpBrittany replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm, I don't see anything wrong with the girl calling herself a nurse. As someone stated above, I think she is just really happy. It's really not that serious. It's not like she is giving people...

  21. First Semester Down, Review Before Second?

    ExpBrittany replied to MurseJJ's topic in General Students

    I'm also in a bsn program & next semester is loaded for me. I was lucky to get all the syllabus from this semester that just ended for my classes next semester. I plan to read the readings &...

  22. Starting Nursing School in January and I Got Summoned for Federal Jury Duty!

    ExpBrittany replied to afowler77's topic in General Students

    If school did not start in Jan, I would go. Unfortunately that's not the case. I wouldn't go. Yes, you can try to get out of it, BUT there is no guarantee. If I received a letter, I'm not going....

  23. Professors fail everyone?

    ExpBrittany replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    The university did allow her to take off a year and come back. This was before her mothers condition worsened, then the strokes, and lastly her dying. My friend said she turned in the last research...

  24. Professors fail everyone?

    ExpBrittany replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Additional, bonus or extra points, whatever you want to call them are just that. For example, when exams are graded, and the instructor runs into issues with a test question that majority of the class...

  25. Professors fail everyone?

    ExpBrittany replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I'm simply stating what mrsboots87 said she has NEVER done . I don't need people to agree with me, but when someone decides to be dishonest for whatever the reason, at least make it believable. It's...
