  1. I messed up

    nifty_n replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Geez this is so petty and a waste of time...I hope I never have to work with people like your

  2. $2,600 too much money for PCT course?

    nifty_n posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi everyone. I'm interested in taking a PCT course this summer. I live in NYC and there are a lot of shady places that offer CNA and PCT courses and lots of them have terrible reviews on Yelp....

  3. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

    nifty_n replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't cut it. It sounds like she just has a personal issue with your hair and it's not a legal requirement for keeping your job since she started off by dropping hints and not saying "hey we have this...

  4. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    nifty_n replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey you should check out Nurse Lada on facebook...she's someone who has been through a lot and now she's a nurse

  5. Exploring Options

    nifty_n replied to Keepinitsimple's topic in California Nursing

    Look at second degree bsn programs. You'll probably have to take pre-requisites at a community college but you can most likely finish them in a year, even if you're from an unrelated

  6. ABSN UMASS Amherst 2016-2017 cycle

    nifty_n replied to kcarroll301's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, it'd be great if you could share your impression with the program overall. Also, how are the professors and clinical rotations? How many students are there to a preceptor? Is it possible to work...

  7. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    nifty_n replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    This is really vague first off; It sounds like you're the only one with feelings in this situation since he's now angry?? Leave it alone, and just focus on your own progress in nursing school as well...

  8. Black and Job Hunting

    nifty_n replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    White women benefit the most from affirmative action so I don't know where you were going with that. (Please look it up--a simple google search will lead you gov. statistics) Second, you're white,...

  9. Lehman Nursing Pre-Requisites

    nifty_n replied to nifty_n's topic in New York Nursing

    Same; I was really lucky to get into my classes, especially chem. Everything at Lehman is truly a hassle and you need to always do things extra early and ask questions because no one will go out of...

  10. Lehman Nursing Pre-Requisites

    nifty_n posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi everyone, I recently applied for admission to Lehman as a second degree student. I plan on taking all of the pre-requisites for the nursing program and will most likely be aiming for admission...

  11. Hygiene After Hospital Shift

    nifty_n posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how you (if you're a nurse or a student in clinicals) take care of YOUR personal hygiene after a hospital shift. Do nurses usually change out of their scrubs in hospitals, are there...

  12. The most annoying student

    nifty_n replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Nah, I totally lost it when you said he was in his forties...what the heck?? You need to stay away from him. Also, I am honestly surprised no higher ups have noticed his behavior. Have you told...

  13. private school or wait another year?

    nifty_n replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    Another year is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you wait, you will most likely be savings LOADS of money by going to a CC vs. Private school. You can also volunteer in a hospital settings...

  14. 21 Things you never mention at a hospital job interview

    nifty_n replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP just said don't take the list too seriously....as in, the contents of the list are

  15. Mistakes Are Inevitable: No One Is Perfect.

    nifty_n replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is absolutely horrible what Lauren had to go through but I don't understand how Lauren was able to keep her license after that. I'm still a student so I'm not sure what the protocol for that type...

  16. How to stay positive about grades

    nifty_n replied to sabrina17's topic in General Students

    Do not respond to those texts. If you feel the need to say something just say, "I did well," and leave it at that. If people ask you in person, just say "I don't share my grades," that's my go to....

  17. I Want to Be an RN; I Am Bad at Math.

    nifty_n replied to MysticTopaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also bad at math--but only when it's not applied math, i.e. i'm good at psyc stats (B+ grade) but I wasn't good at stats (C-.) When math is applied it tends to make a lot more sense to me as...

  18. Please, I need your advice about my life!

    nifty_n replied to elendilya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would focus on getting your first degree first (which is what I'm doing, I'm graduating this fall.) Then worry about taking your pre-reqs. I would suggest you take your pre-reqs at a community...

  19. How To Get An "A" In Any Nursing Course

    nifty_n replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed! Although it can be really disheartening when you hear the sighs and grunts, even having people giving you dirty looks when you get praise from an instructor. I really try to remember that I...

  20. 40k for nursing school?

    nifty_n replied to varonte69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is A LOT of money, even for a BSN program. Sometimes you may be better off separating your pre-reqs for a BSN (taking them at a community college) and then applying to a BSN or whichever type of...

  21. I'm a highschool dropout with GED starting pre reqs for nursing school very anxious

    nifty_n replied to iris222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest starting out SLOW. Take one pre-req a semester if you need to (including summer sessions.) The biggest mistake you can do is taking 2, 3 pre-reqs at a time when you are not mentally...

  22. Accepted into Nursing School

    nifty_n replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats and bless you! I hope to be in your shoes soon. I am not a nursing student yet, but while getting my first degree I used a certain strategy to stay organized. I had one notebook for each...

  23. Pre-requites are 2 years

    nifty_n replied to sromerov's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest not taking pointless classes as that would be a waste of time and money. I would suggest you talk to someone in that nursing department and seeing if you need to re-take any

  24. 2nd Bachelor's in nursing NYC

    nifty_n replied to hellomynameiss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest looking into accelerated nursing programs (they terminate in a BSN) or second degree BSN programs. I'm in a similar situation. I am graduating with a degree in Sociology this year...
