  1. Malpractice insurance

    augurey replied to flowersnbutterflies's topic in General Students

    From what I understand, you can still be personally sued. One of our instructors recommended it, as an RN and as a student. I just signed up for my own last weekend. It's $35/year for me, as a...

  2. I honestly can't believe I did it

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    Back in January my husband and I were a little shocked to find out I was pregnant. Before I applied to my program, I had asked if the pregnancy would be an issue as I was due towards the beginning of...

  3. What is your motivation?

    augurey replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    My kids. I quit my job for this. If I don't complete the program I can get another job, but it will be minimum wage, and we'll be worse off for it. My motivation is to provide them with a better life....

  4. PLEASE HELP! ATI med surg retake

    augurey replied to astar35's topic in General Students

    If you go into your results, you can see what areas you need to review. It will tell you which ATI books and chapters to go to for more information on that topic. Also in the "my results" section,...

  5. Very, Very Bad Week

    augurey replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Heathermaizy. There are no words to describe that kind of loss, and undoubtedly made more difficult by having clinicals in L&D. I'm thinking of you, and you sound truly...

  6. First nursing school A!!!!

    augurey replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Congrats!

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

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

    How is everyone doing? Somehow, I'm managing to hang in there. I had the baby September 8th, unfortunately by c section, but he and I were safe and healthy, so that's all I can ask for. I was out of...

  8. In my first semester and want another baby

    augurey replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    It has been done and can be done. Everyone is different in how they can handle it. Just because you're first pregnancy was complication free, it doesn't guarantee that the second will be, which it...

  9. Medication math help

    augurey replied to kemurphy's topic in General Students

    Med math is pretty basic math. I can't speak for what everyone has learned or was required to learn, but I took a class on it last year and am using the same book in a different program. We started...

  10. TEAS!

    augurey replied to Semlet's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I recommend going into the TEAS section on the forum. It's really helpful. I recommend this thread: https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html It gives a good breakdown of the types...

  11. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    augurey replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    I've never judged anyone, healthcare professional or otherwise, on their hair color. If I'm thinking anything about anyone's hair, it's usually "I wish my hair looked like that!" or "I wonder how they...

  12. A&P Advice!

    augurey replied to byjessi's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the type of learner you are. For me, I used note card (usually utilized Study Blue and Quizlet). I'm re-taking A&P as my credits didn't transfer, so, knowing that it would...

  13. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    augurey replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    'Almost every instructor' is closer to every instructor than the one single instructor you provided an example for. What about the others? Did you withdraw before or after you found out that the...

  14. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    augurey replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    My original thoughts were: 1. If the OP is right in that EVERY instructor wants them to fail, then he/she's at a bad school and would be better off moving onto a different school. 2. If that's not the...

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

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

    So, how are classes going for everyone? If you've not started yet, how are you feeling about the start of classes coming up? I'm going into my third week now. I feel so, just, all over the place. I'm...

  16. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    augurey replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Do you have specific examples of what makes you think they would rather see you fail than succeed? It's an honestly curious question. I can't say with absolute certainty that there aren't instructors...

  17. My first day in nursing classes

    augurey replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    My first day was last Tuesday. Started off with a 7 hour skills lab. I'm only taking two courses right now: Fundamentals and A&P I. My credits didn't transfer, so I'm re-taking A&P. Though I...

  18. Nursing school textbooks

    augurey replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Wow! I think I'll be doing that next time... even though I already got the bulk of the nursing books. Though I didn't have a lot of time to get my books as I was a late admit, but I think I'll be...

  19. What I Learned My First Week In Nursing School

    augurey replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    I also learned: ~You cheat, you die. (Also if you find out someone else is cheating and you don't report it) ~Don't post things on social media. ~My instructors are also awesome. Seriously, they are...

  20. Nursing school textbooks

    augurey replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    I saved a little over $100 by going through Amazon (If I'm not allowed to mention Amazon, I'll edit/delete). I could've saved more if I had bought some of them used, but I preferred new as I didn't...

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

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

    Good luck to everyone starting this

  22. Help! accreditation question!!!

    augurey replied to LelahRN2be's topic in General Students

    The program I'm in does it this way (unless you've already taken them prior and they transferred in). I will tell you, if you can get your pre-reqs out of the way and only have to focus on nursing...

  23. Help! accreditation question!!!

    augurey replied to LelahRN2be's topic in General Students

    Is there a reason you don't want to take the pre-reqs? Honest question. If they don't have a good reputation, I would consider it a red flag. I had met with a nursing director of another school. When...

  24. Help! accreditation question!!!

    augurey replied to LelahRN2be's topic in General Students

    If it's not regionally or nationally accredited, stay away. Just because it's accredited by your state's BON, doesn't mean much. They'll tell you that you can sit the NCLEX and it won't prevent you...

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

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

    I've heard of other places doing this, but I think I still would have been about it. I prefer having the actual book as I think that's easier for me. When it comes to ebooks, I have a tendency to...
