  1. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Meeshie replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    When you did your financial aid exit there should have been various repayment options that you could click through to see which style of payment plan would work for you. Some start off low and then...

  2. Student nurse with tattoos

    Meeshie replied to JuJuB's topic in General Nursing

    True but makeup isnt an option.. it wont be there past the first handwashing, plus all the bacteria considerations. So a pocket full of large bandaids that you can reapply over the day might

    Meeshie replied to JuJuB's topic in General Nursing

    Well for school... makeup will work.. but once you get into labs and clinicals? Maybe a

  4. 8/13 this week, I've learned the connection between AN desktop, insurance, and HR

    Meeshie replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1. I learned that I lack patience in the job hunting department. I've never needed patience before. However, as a new grad with a shiny RN license that is less than a month old living in an area with...

  5. Retaking Classes

    Meeshie replied to nomington's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's true. And time doesn't change this little law, either. When I was 16 years old I attended a community college for Resp. Therapy. It really wasn't for me. I was too young and too immature. I got a...

  6. Am I out of options?

    Meeshie replied to mfigg's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you really want to go to nursing school then.... private college is likely your best choice here. And yes, a lot of people fail out of private nursing schools... but they also have a much lower...

  7. anxiety about evening Childcare

    Meeshie replied to Mahogany77's topic in General Nursing

    Mom guilt.. it's a huge thing. It's totally normal, too. You'll always feel a bit guilty. You'll always miss your child on days that you have to be gone. It's hard. You just keep telling yourself it's...

  8. 7/30 This week, I learned Deanna Troi sucks

    Meeshie replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that if I overpay the babysitter that she'll clean my house out of guilt for getting "all that money." Cue me having her come back today and overpaying her. I've learned that I can make...

  9. Post-Orientation Doubts

    Meeshie replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    My school had a saying - if it's going to happen it will happen in nursing school. People got pregnant. People lost babies. One girl in my cohort has a child diagnosed with a bone marrow disorder so...

  10. How to handle Nursing school.

    Meeshie replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    Hi, You will not be perfect all the time. Yes, I've had tests on 15 chapters of material. Even if you could memorize all that (and you can't) it won't matter. Questions are based on critical thinking...

  11. Planners

    Meeshie replied to mrs.bartlomain's topic in General Students

    On top of using a planner I used a giant whiteboard calendar in the hallway of my house. On it I'd keep my school times, major due dates, any appointments I had, holidays, my husband's work schedule,...

  12. Tips for bringing my grades up

    Meeshie replied to kikis88's topic in General Students

    Have you ever figured out HOW you learn? Everyone learns differently. For example, I remember things better if I teach them to someone else. I found someone in my cohort that learned best by listening...

  13. Low score on ATI predictor

    Meeshie replied to NervousNelly64's topic in General Students

    I'll chime in 3rd for Uworld. Also - ATI was mapped to the 2013 NCLEX when we just finished it at our school (in June) and so there are some inconsistencies. Be careful of

  14. Starting school at older age! :(

    Meeshie replied to Lessh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just graduated with my BSN. At 40.I turn 40 a week before commencement, in fact. I wasn't the oldest person in my cohort. No one cared what my age was.. they cared that I was competent. You can do...

  15. Post-Orientation Doubts

    Meeshie replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    Goodness. Orientation can be dramatic. My son is 3. My BSN in an accelerated program took 2 1/2 years. My husband works four hours away and comes home for holidays. Was it hard? Oh yes. Was it...

  16. Nursing School Supplies

    Meeshie replied to smarie0708's topic in General Students

    The WhiteBoard clipboard. You can find it on amazon. This will make clinicals SO much easier. Go look. It's amazing. :) Also about a million pen lights. They vanish faster than you'd think. A rolling...

  17. What to expect in my first semester in nursing school?

    Meeshie replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Students

    First semester? Depends on your school. Some schools might ease you into things? Honestly, expect to study for hours... try to make some friends for study groups if you learn better that way.. expect...

  18. Nurse Internships

    Meeshie replied to artshow239's topic in General Students

    Easiest advise? Google "new grad nursing job" and the city you're looking at and see what pops up. Not all hospitals have internships and the hire dates vary WIDELY. They will, however, post them when...

  19. Dropping out of nursing school

    Meeshie replied to varonte69's topic in General Students

    I can't tell you what you should do. I can tell you that my mother in law watched my son throughout my nursing classes and clinicals. You have to have stable adequate child care so you can do...

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

    Meeshie replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

  21. Criminal background and Nursing

    Meeshie replied to Medicine11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your best long term bet here is to get your record expunged. Talk to a lawyer and see what would be required in your state to do

  22. I just failed my first nursing exam

    Meeshie replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    Make an appointment to talk to your professor. Go through the answers with that professor and figure out where the issue was. Was it understanding? Critical thinking? Application? You won't know where...

  23. First week of exams

    Meeshie replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school. Some professors will give you a focus and some won't. Some lecture based on their tests and some don't. Some give decent study guides and some give study guides that have...
