    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    After tomorrow I have 3 weeks left of class + finals week. 1 more nursing exam + final. 2 more quizzes in A&P, 1 lab practical + final. Nutrtion, I don't know maybe a case study, quiz + final....

    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats on your acceptance!

  3. Clinicals?

    augurey replied to Ktrujil9's topic in General Students

    My clinical group last semester was 7. This semester, I believe, is 9. We can choose our clinical day, but we can't choose our clinical group. Honestly I kind of like that as it's made me branch out...

  4. Has anyone messed up really bad in a clinical and still passed

    augurey replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    This. Lack of confidence is my issue. I've had days where it just felt like I was dropping the ball left and right. Actually my first day passing meds knocked over the scanner onto the floor, knocking...

  5. How to survive the semester with borderline grades

    augurey replied to nursingdivastudent's topic in General Students

    If there are websites or apps that you have a hard time staying off of, there are apps that will block them for a set period of time set by you so that you can't be distracted by them. One was called...

  6. Ideal Job?

    augurey replied to hopeful_future_rn's topic in General Students

    I'm almost finished with my second semester of school, so I can't speak for nursing itself. However, I didn't like chemistry. There was very little I found interesting about it. Yes it's important,...

  7. How many clinical rotations do you have?

    augurey replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    5 semester ADN (I'm just finishing second semester): 1st semester: Med-surg 2nd semester: Med-surg with 2 days in the OR. 3rd semester: Med-surg and psych 4th semester: OB and Peds 5th semester: I'm...

  8. It was just a matter of time....

    augurey replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in General Students

    I agree with just study and keep to yourself. It is a shame that you and your classmates are having to deal with them, but in the end, they are going to be the ones to look bad. I'm sure the...

  9. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks! I just hate it because I look at my classmates and see future nurses. I look at myself and feel like a fraud. I really have to get this. I knew my confidence issues would be very difficult to...

  10. Care Plans in General

    augurey replied to juardsrn's topic in General Students

    We have a template where everything has to be filled in. Current problem, history, I&O, more detailed description about the events that lead to their admission, what the plan for the patient is...

  11. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    47 more days until my last final this semester. Last week was my first week back from spring break (1 week). Doing reasonably well. A in nutrition (so far), B in A&P II, B in English 102 (though...

  12. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    augurey replied to hiya234's topic in General Students

    I think it really depends on you. If you started the ADN with a child, you have to keep in mind appointments, illness, etc. You're probably going to miss out on some time with your kid(s). You may be...

  13. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    augurey replied to hiya234's topic in General Students

    I think regardless of which direction you go, either have kids before or after school. It's hard. Absolutely doable, but it's hard. As OrganizedChaos said, if it's your first pregnancy, you don't know...

  14. 43% or Higher on TEAS

    augurey replied to vaneets15's topic in General Students

    A 43% is pretty low for TEAS. I'm also curious about the type of school it is. The for profit school I started at first had very low TEAS score standards. From what I've seen on here, most competitive...

  15. First semester nursing student

    augurey replied to courty's topic in General Students

    Nursing is so much more than what you learn first semester. First semester is the basics. All of nursing isn't caring for geriatrics. You'll likely do OB and peds rotation, probably psych (I'm...

  16. Grading policy for clinical

    augurey replied to malenurse2bt's topic in General Students

    My school is unsatisfactory / marginal / satisfactory. If a student gets marginal, they are on clinical probation the next semester and must achieve satisfactory the following semester. They told us...

  17. Really really paranoid I might fail clinical

    augurey replied to hlk4227's topic in General Students

    Have you ever had an unsatisfactory with her before? I can't speak for all programs, but I know that one unsatisfactory day in mine doesn't fail us (unless, I'm sure, there was a huge error / patient...

  18. More important to lay low or fit in?

    augurey replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    I'm around your age and also one of the stragglers. In life in general, I just never fit in no matter how hard or little I try, so I learned to just go with the flow. In my class, I consider myself to...

  19. Am I cut out for nursing school?

    augurey replied to sbenson1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if it's something that you want, then you'll try your hardest to do it. I'm also shy and introverted. I've struggled with anxiety and depression. I've never been great at math or science....

  20. other non traditional students / moms

    augurey replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How is everyone managing their school load with their spouses/partners and kids? I'm doing reasonably well right now, but summer semester is going to be a beast. 13 credit hours in 10 weeks. I just...

  21. other non traditional students / moms

    augurey replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    31, married, 2.5 year old and a 5 month old, second semester with 14 credit hours. 4.0 first semester (only had 2 classes though). I'm sitting at around A/B in pretty much all classes right now at 6...

  22. at 51, is it too late to even try?

    augurey replied to prettynpinkngreen's topic in General Students

    It's not too late at all! Both the first program I started in and the one I'm currently in had people of all ages - late teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. If it's really what you want to do, go for it! The...

  23. What is passing for your nursing program?

    augurey replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    In high school a 70 was a C and an 80 was a B. In my program an 80 is a C, which is passing. Anything below is failing. We have to get at least a level 2 on all ATI proctored exams. And I believe we...

  24. school decision

    augurey replied to Malcolm225's topic in General Students

    Don't feel stupid! You're not the only one to make that mistake. I'm 31 and I made that mistake regarding another school last year And I thought you meant by barely graduating as in you're about to...

  25. school decision

    augurey replied to Malcolm225's topic in General Students

    Did you get accepted into just the college or the actual nursing program? Most programs require pre-reqs to be completed before applying (though there are some that don't). Why are you just barely...
