  1. Exhausted

    ready2baRN replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    3 chapters that's it? My first nursing class we had to read five chapters to be quizzed on the next week and I felt just like you at first. 'Screw this!' .......but I did it now it's like second...

  2. plagiarism??

    ready2baRN replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    I think it seems trivial and petty. I'm all for making everyone's job a little easier so if my notes were accurate and not much has changed in the patients condition then I say go for it. I'm not...

    ready2baRN replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

  4. Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    ready2baRN replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

    I really don't think it's the patients you have to worry about. Now if some hot orthopedic surgeon show your girlfriend his "body part" then you should be worried. That's

  5. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    ready2baRN replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    OMG now that I have officially stopped laughing at some of the replies to this post. OP if it's a 3 hour class the professor should not have a problem with you leaving 5-10 minutes early if you need...

    ready2baRN replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I can't breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the funniest post I read to date on AN.

  7. Should I continue to further my education of becoming a nurse or just pick another major??

    ready2baRN replied to hamolady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My suggestion to you would be to turn down the volume to the negativity and turn up the volume for the people that have more positive things to say. Google nursing student videos on YouTube, you will...

  8. Christian School and Atheism

    ready2baRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    I received my BS degree from a Catholic University. Although I was raised catholic/baptist I don't identify with any major religion. I loved that school for the simple reason we had a melting pot of...

  10. I can't wait to be a nurse!!!!

    ready2baRN replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    I have 17 months left. I can see a glimmer of a light at the end of the tunnel. It just seems so far away!!!!!

  11. HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    ready2baRN replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    My school requires that we take a exit HESI at the end of the program. With the exit HESI we also have to take "specialty" HESI and the end of each course (funds, pharm, med/surg, etc). You fail the...

  12. I got reported to HR

    ready2baRN replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The first thing we learned about in nursing school was "Cultural Competence" and how to do a cultural self assessment to make sure you don't offend anyone of different cultures. Clearly you missed...

  13. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    ready2baRN replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't work as a nurse yet but at my previous job this lady told one of my co-workers "I don't take orders from the help" my co-worker was mortified! I may be a little weird but reading some of these...

  14. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    ready2baRN replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    Also if you do decide on to take on the debt and these are FEDERAL student loans and NOT private loans. You can apply for a income based or income driven payment plan which will generate your monthly...

  15. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    ready2baRN replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    I took out 65K for my BS degree . I went to a non profit private school. Was 65k worth the degree probably not although I now have a fairly decent paying job and using my degree but I could have...

  16. How to eat on night shift

    ready2baRN replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    Hi OP, I use to work night shifts so I definitely understand your struggle. One big myth about eating and time is that if you eat past a certain "time" you will gain weight. Totally not true as your...

  17. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    ready2baRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think the poster was trying to "hate" on new grads. The OP used the term because this guy is fresh out of school and acting like he owns the world. This person clearly suffers from the "I...

  18. Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    ready2baRN replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    but it's not real. You are in school to LEARN. This is where you are allowed to make mistakes so you can learn from those mistakes and gain knowledge and skills. I read a quote that says "I have...

  19. Always the Instructor's Fault......

    ready2baRN replied to MFaf's topic in General Students

    OKAY! Now there are times where you get a professor/instructor that probably should have steered far far away from the classroom but somehow they ended up teaching and they are not that great at it....

  20. Why can't i get a job???? US RN

    ready2baRN replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just a few points 1. Many new grads land there first job within 6 months to a year. 3.5 weeks is a little to soon to be stressing over not finding your first job. You are not the only new grad...

  21. Better off single?

    ready2baRN replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    It can be a little stressful trying to balance school/work/life. However I never thought about "breaking up" with anyone just because I would be busy with school. I'm sorry but nursing school is not...

  22. ASN With Second Degree

    ready2baRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    I received my Bachelors in Clinical Exercise Physiology. I was going to go to PT (Physical Therapy) school but my heart really wasn't in PT so I decided to go back to nursing (my original plan). I'm...

  23. ASN With Second Degree

    ready2baRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    I have a previous Bachelors and Associates and I chose to do ADN route and then enroll into RN-BSN program due to not being able to get a single solitary cent from financial aid. Not a dime. So I...

  24. I really want to be a nurse but..

    ready2baRN replied to SarahOsorio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree with the other posters. Nursing math is not the same as college math. I have two previous degrees (Associates and Bachelors). I failed intermediate algebra THREE times before I passed...

  25. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    ready2baRN replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    I'm currently pursuing my ADN at a technical college. I called numerous public schools and my previous undergrad (private non profit). I was given the green light to pursue my BSN at most of the...
