1. NCLEX July Test Takers

   tiny_nurse replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in NCLEX

   Hey everyone! Tested on July 10, went to 133 questions! Thought for SURE that I had failed, waited 4 hours and did the PVT trick and got the "good" pop up. Did it again at 24 hours. But still had to wait the 48 hours to pay for quick results which w...

2. Last Clinical Rotation :)

   tiny_nurse replied to emmjayy's topic in General Students

   Woo! Congrats! I just took my last final last week! Capstone clinical placement and Kaplan test prep left and I'm done too!

3. "You Have to Get a BSN by 2020..."

   tiny_nurse replied to kalyani's topic in ADN/BSN

   The hospitals here will hire ADN RNs with the understanding that they will finish their BSN within 8 or 10 years. Depending on which hospital. It's institutional here, but generally the BSN in 10 rule is key in Central NY.

4. Studying: Lined Paper vs. Blank Sheets

   tiny_nurse replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

   I'm going to go against the grain and recommend graph paper! It works so well for diagrams, pictures, tables. I've taken all my notes through nursing school on graph paper. It works wonders for me. :)

5. Syracuse Nursing

   tiny_nurse replied to adam3's topic in General Students

   I graduate from one of the hospital-based schools in Syracuse this coming December. This thread is making me feel so much better about the job prospects.

6. Utica ASBSN Fall 2017

   tiny_nurse replied to toofyc's topic in School Programs

   Hey guys! I attended Utica ABSN for two semesters. It was not for me personally, I prefer the brick and mortar type schools. I attended back in 2014 so things may have changed... but when I was there it was hard to get a lot of assistance and self-te...

7. Failing my first semester of nursing school... any suggestions?

   tiny_nurse replied to ROCTJ's topic in General Students

   With what you describe as your courses, I'm almost positive we go to the same school. I'm at the end of 3rd semester. I would use PrepU on lippincott if you haven't yet. Try and get up to a level 6-7 on each concept. Don't just study what the concept...

8. Shoes, uniforms, shower after clinical?

   tiny_nurse replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

   I change my clothes and wash my face usually. Then I throw my scrubs immediately in the wash.

9. Missing lab for graduation @another school?

   tiny_nurse replied to nurse1017's topic in General Students

   Congratulations!!! Maybe see if you can walk with the next graduating class? Just so you can have that opportunity and make your lab hours? Then you will have your nursing school graduation and pinning to look forward to in the next year or so. Exc...

10. Calculator for drug calculations

    tiny_nurse replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    I'd just get a simple one. You're not going to need anything more than just the easy 4 function stuff. :)

11. Any advice on must haves for nursing school

    tiny_nurse replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely a planner!

12. Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    tiny_nurse replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    I always thought it was weird that mine didn't ever drug test us... Better to be safe than sorry anyway!

13. No motivation. Gas tank on E

    tiny_nurse replied to rehric00's topic in NP Students

    You say it should be easy, but it's NOT! If it was, everyone would do it. You're entitled to be burnt out, that much school will do that. And I totally understand ruts. You can do this, just get over that last little bump. What you're doing is not s...

14. Dealing with faeces?

    tiny_nurse replied to ToastaHands's topic in General Students

    You'll get used to code browns. Just keep exposing yourself to it, like you chose to and you'll be fine! I believe in you. :) Personally, I'd take a code brown over suctioning a trach to be honest. XD

15. Working, Volunteering and Going to School?

    tiny_nurse replied to gchooljian's topic in General Students

    I think it's entirely up to how you plan your time. I work part-time and am in my 3rd semester of a 4 semester ASN program. I worked more in my earlier semesters, now there is a lot more studying, clinical paperwork, and clinical prep to be done. I t...
