  1. This makes me disappointed!

    Sounds like a lot of work.
  2. does anyone use simple nursing? help!!

    Thank you! I just realized that they sent the old cancellation email to my old university email, got access to that, then was able to look at previous cancellation emails. I had changed my default...
  3. does anyone use simple nursing? help!!

    Following this... I'm in the same predicament, minus not being
  4. Taking Anatomy for the second time

    I recommend the A&P coloring book for memorization purposes. If you're a kinesthetic learner like me. Also, definitely take the time every day to go over the material. If the teacher allows,...
  5. Confused about BSN

    I'd go for the ASN (Associate's Degree in Nursing) and then bridge once she's passed her NCLEX and/or found a job. I have a previous BA in Arts, so Nursing was INCREDIBLY different for me. I first...
  6. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    That really sucks. However, now that it's happened I'm sure there are some ways you can get back into a nursing program. Is there a way to retest? Maybe appeal with your old school or apply to...
  7. Going back to school @ 26

    I just turned 27 about a month after I started, and I'll be 28 when I graduate with my ADN. :) No worries, you are not too
  8. 43% or Higher on TEAS

    There are some LPN programs around me that require a 45% on TEAS as well as a 10th grade math and english level on the TABE. You'll do fine. Relax, trust your instincts, and watch your time. Study the...
  9. I second the 3-hole punch! It comes in so handy for binder purposes. :) They make simple ones that can go right onto the rings of a binder, thats what I have. I'd also say a binder per class. I...
  10. How to build confidence as a student nurse?

    At this point, I'd say just practice your skills in lab as much as you can. The more you practice, the more confidence you'll have in yourself and that will translate to your clinical. :) And don't be...
  11. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    Ugh, yes! I'm starting my second year with a bullet journal. I love lists so it's
  12. I didn't have to take a drug test to get into my nursing school, and it's a very reputable program in my area. I don't have any info about your specific program though, just offering my two cents!
  13. A lot of schools are understanding of your past. It's definitely something you'd want to talk about assuming you were granted an interview. I think it's important to show the school that you...
  14. do schools do random drug tests?

    I think if you have a prescription for a medication, you don't have to worry about drug tests. As long as you list these prescriptions on your health history and the school is aware of your needs,...
  15. Utica college absn current opinions?

    Yes! I'm starting this January as well. I'll be going to Crouse. :) Congrats on
  16. Utica college absn current opinions?

    Ugh, that sucks that you paid the deposit and decided not to go. Are you going to continue into a different
  17. Oh my gosh, I practiced how I would respond to so many questions! There's a REALLY good thread on here that has a list of a bunch of questions you might be asked. Think about how you'll respond to...
  18. I didn't get into a BSN program with a 4.0

    Call the school? Maybe they'll tell you why you weren't accepted or what you might be able to work on. Depending on the school, this might be really helpful for you in the
  19. You have to take care of yourself, first and foremost. A better mindset will help you focus more effectively. I'm proud of you for noticing that it was too much and putting your mental health first....
  20. What is a good attrition rate for nursing school.

    100% agree with elkpark. NCLEX pass rates mean nothing if the program has an extensive "weeding out" of students who they think might negatively affect their pass rate. I think attrition is just as...
  21. Best Friend Getting Married

    Definitely speak with your professor about the circumstances. I'd probably try to do my work extra early so I could go to my friend's wedding, but that's just me. I wonder: is there another lab...
  22. Final Grade D = 74%

    It's definitely possible to get into another nursing school after failing. I did. Have a plan for success, know your strengths, own up to your weaknesses in your previous program, and be determined to...
  23. School problem!!!

    What the heck! The only thing I can think of is that they're intimidated by you because you get good grades. They're trying to make you feel like crap and bring you down. Maybe this will mean you...
  24. Health Insurance Anxiety!!

    Usually, schools will have health insurance that they offer to students if they don't have their own! I'm also 26 and (for my school) if you don't sign the health insurance waiver, they'll...
  25. High School Junior Interested in Nursing

    At this point, you might be able to try volunteering at a local hospital, that will probably look really good on your application. Also, keep up your grades in your sciences and keep up the good...
