  1. Volunteering during school

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    Does volunteer experience during school (or in general) help at all when applying for jobs after graduation? Based on my searches, I feel like there's some mixed feedback. One search mentioned that if...

  2. Volunteering during school

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your input! I haven't really looked into anything within the hospital. My concern is being able to keep up with classes. Obviously I have to have school as a priority, but I also have to be...

  3. Any tips for a shy, timid nursing student?

    augurey replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    I want to add to that if there are volunteer opportunities, take them. We have a 2 hour volunteer experience coming up in the beginning of April where I'll have to talk to people A LOT. Besides that...

  4. Any tips for a shy, timid nursing student?

    augurey replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    I think a lot of it is forcing yourself out of your comfort zone. I've been the same way my whole life. I couldn't even order my own meals at a restaurant until I was about 25! I remember my very...

  5. Age and nursing school

    augurey replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    You're 22. You're young with a full life ahead of you. As hard and frustrating as it is, it's worth the wait. I started the first ADN program at 29. I started this program at 30. I have (had)...

  6. For profit schools/debt/nursing shortage??

    augurey replied to BrittanyWilkins's topic in General Students

    If you're considering a for profit school, research it. Someone I "know" in a facebook group is considering a for profit school, but in her situation, it's properly accredited. Many for profit schools...

  7. Starting nursing school with a 3 year old

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

    My daughter just turned 2 when I started my first semester. I had a baby about 4 weeks into my first semester via c section which required me to be out for 3 weeks. During that time I couldn't really...

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

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

    Second semester starts Monday. I'm already nervous, anxious, and overwhelmed. 14 credit hours. My stomach is in knots (though I found that I'm not the only one feeling this way). I'm mostly really...

  9. Passed nursing 3!!!

    augurey replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    Congrats!

  10. Accreditation and hiring nurses

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

    I agree with the others. I would even check job postings in your area to see if it's specified. I started out at an unaccredited school. I ended up switching to a regionally accredited school. During...

  11. Done with first semester!

    augurey replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your grades! I didn't cry after my first clinical, though I wanted to. I think the look on my face afterwards expressed enough how I was feeling. The first clinical they paired everyone...

  12. Done with first semester!

    augurey replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    Oh I haven't gotten that far yet! I've been out a week and have accomplished nothing. When the kids are at daycare, I'm in and out of sleep most of the day and cannot seem to stay awake. First...

  13. Grade confusion. Help pls.

    augurey replied to guest935762's topic in General Students

    So glad to see that this has been resolved, and quickly! Congrats on your grade and hope you're able to relax and enjoy your holidays

  14. How to Nab those Nursing Scholarships $$

    augurey replied to achurley's topic in General Students

    I've generally avoided applying for scholarships as it's always felt so overwhelming. Plus I never really had qualities that would give me a shot (other than entries that don't require anything - just...

  15. Grade confusion. Help pls.

    augurey replied to guest935762's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you're going through this! I'd be livid. I mean, I know mistakes happen. I'd be upset because of this mistake, but it's the professor's response that would push me towards livid. I...

  16. What do you do for money during nursing school?

    augurey replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Students

    I'm one of those that cannot work during school. I tried it before (when I was single, no kids) and couldn't do it. Now that I'm married with kids, I know even more that I couldn't do it and don't...

  17. Are nursing classes team taught?

    augurey replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    We had a team of instructors teaching our fundamentals course. There was one main instructor that taught the majority. There was another that taught the second most material. Then there were a few...

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

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

    JacAn: I hope your finals went well today! How long before you know your final grade? wildwyo: congrats on your grades! They aren't starting ATI proctored exams for us until next semester, but I did...

  19. Grade confusion. Help pls.

    augurey replied to guest935762's topic in General Students

    Do you know when final grades have to be posted by the instructor? If so, I'd give it until that date before contacting anyone about the discrepancy. If it's already come and gone and your instructor...

  20. Calling all non-traditional nursing students!!!

    augurey replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I just found out that I got an A in both of my classes :) That'll be exciting clinicals! How long do you get for Christmas break? I have 4 weeks. The kids will still go to daycare a couple of...

  21. Better to be an LPN than not a nurse at all?

    augurey replied to livimo's topic in General Students

    As I didn't do the LPN route, I can't really comment about benefits on doing that (but I'm sure there are others than can give feedback). I know it'd be hard to do as you'd be likely moving around and...

  22. Tattoos in Nursing School

    augurey replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    I also don't have a problem with tattoos, but I also agree that it'd be best to wait until after you graduate. Since my school is attached to the hospital, tattoos have to be concealed at all times;...

  23. Done with first semester!

    augurey replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your grades! How many semesters do you have for your BSN? aingram - congrats and good luck on the new job! Today was my last day. I had a high A in A&P I and came out with an A. For...

  24. College books are the biggest scams ever

    augurey replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were supposed to either print out the power points or bring a laptop/tablet to type into the power point (well, as a strong suggestion anyway - obviously they can't force it). I started out...

  25. College books are the biggest scams ever

    augurey replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I spent over $1,000 on books first semester (though most of the nursing books will be used throughout the whole program so the rest will just be odd ones here and there). I just spent almost $400 on...
