  1. I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    augurey replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    1. Why were you calling for your sister? Your sister should have called herself. She should have written down all of her questions and made sure there was nothing else that she needed to know. It's...

  2. I give up!

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

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

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

    AspiringNurseMW: That's a lot of books! It can definitely be hard when you have to put all of that money up front. Are they going to have you use them all this early? I hope that your husband's...

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

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

    Purple_roses: I think I'm just going to have to deal until class Wednesday night. Though I realized this morning I misread it. 2 missed labs is a 50% reduction in the lab grade only, but still, that...

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

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

    30 minutes into the start of the semester, and I'm officially overwhelmed. We had another orientation Friday which was for the nursing course only. We received our syllabus and went over expectations,...

  6. ATI Modules - Time Management

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    The semester starts tomorrow. We just received our syllabus for the nursing course on Friday. There are two ATI modules due Tuesday and one due Friday, before lab and lecture. There's at least one due...

  7. ATI Modules - Time Management

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    These are the ones that, I don't think, have focused reviews. Like right now I'm working on Infection control. You do the pre-test to see where your knowledge on the topic is currently, and then you...

  8. Pregnancy and nursing

    augurey replied to SayRPN's topic in General Students

    I absolutely agree with talking to your school. You need to know what is expected of you in regards to your pregnancy. It sounds like some schools are more lenient and is more flexible where others...

  9. Suprise! Nursing School Starts Now

    augurey replied to TheWalkingRN's topic in General Students

    First, congratulations! My best word of advice is to get organized now. Know your deadline, what you have to do and make a plan to get it done. I was in a similar situation with my program. I was just...

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

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

    Glamcakes: I definitely think it's natural to end up having cold feet (and more common than we think)! Were you able to get your financial aid and other issues sorted? I've finally got everything done...

  11. Trig/College Algebra same as Finite Math?

    augurey replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    You would have to call the school to find out if trig/college algebra would satisfy the finite math requirement. They are really the only ones who would be able to tell you if trig/college algebra...

  12. 1 week in and stressed out

    augurey replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    It's normal. I can't say it gets easier, but you adjust. It can still be overwhelming and stressful, but it'll feel different. Last fall when I started another program, it was the first time I was in...

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

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

    Good luck jellis! Classes start in 1 week, and I feel like I'm starting to get cold feet. I'm ready and excited for this, but I'm just worried about being able to do it. Plus my student email login...

  14. Medical terminology course

    augurey replied to HeatherPaige's topic in General Students

    I agree that you should learn any medical terminology during your courses. The school I attended last year had a success strategies course that turned into just about 100% medical terminology. To be...

  15. Experience for attaining a job after graduation?

    augurey replied to CTN91's topic in General Students

    That'll depend on the job you want and their requirements. Some places will hire ADN, but some require BSN. The hospital I'm hoping to get into will hire someone with an ADN, but they require you to...

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

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

    AspiringNurseMW: That sounds exciting! Well, I had orientation this morning. I did opt for a pair of dress pants and a nice top to be safe. My jeans are kind of wonky. They fit but they don't. They...

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

    augurey replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    That's what inspired me to go back to school. I actually started a program last year that I withdrew from at the end of February (due to accreditation). I remember that there were some hard days, but...

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

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

    Thank you! :) What did / what is everyone wearing to orientation? Orientation is Friday and there was nothing specified about dress code. I'm pretty much planning on some black dress pants and nice...

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

    augurey replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    I'm 30, married, and have a daughter who will be 2 on the 30th and a boy due early September. I quit my job last August to start a program last fall which I attended until the end of February. I spent...

  20. Drug Testing

    augurey replied to level1's topic in General Students

    I think it would depend on hospital policy. If they say no, it's no regardless of legality. My former employer eventually implemented a no smoking policy halfway through my employment. Those that...

  21. Parental influence on college education

    augurey replied to Katieaok's topic in General Students

    I think that sometimes that's half the battle! I remember thinking about much energy being "depressed" took. I say "depressed" because I really think it was a situational depression that I kind of...

  22. Parental influence on college education

    augurey replied to Katieaok's topic in General Students

    It's very interesting reading everyone's response to this! We were never well off. I'll start off by saying that my mom never went to college. The importance of (higher) education was never pressed...

  23. Student Health Survey

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    I just got a call at the end of the week last week from the school I originally applied to and found out I was accepted. Since classes start in about a month, she called to let me know so I can...

  24. Student Health Survey

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    JustBeachyNurse: I honestly figured that most places outside of a provider's office wouldn't be willing to do it. Before I asked the school, I figured I'd give the local pharmacy a call just to see...

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

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

    I still feel a little shocked that I'm even saying this, but I've been accepted with expected graduation May 2017! I'm a late admit and classes start in just a few weeks. I have orientation next...
