  1. Calm My Test Anxiety?!

    brandiep1982 replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    Ok, sit down and figure out the minimum grade you can get in everything left to get the b you need... Are your lab and lecture combined for a single final grade, or are they two separate

  2. An NCLEX question for you.

    brandiep1982 replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    I am probably wrong, but I would go to 3 first. Here is my reasoning: 2 is obviously not a priority, it needs to be done, but it is not too time sensitive. 1 and 3 need to be seen and are currently...

  3. Nursing program accept online credit?

    brandiep1982 replied to hampmp1's topic in General Students

    At my Cc where I took my prereqs (most of which I did online), the transcripts do not indicate if a class was done online or in person, so the schools I applied to had no way of knowing anyway. Do you...

    brandiep1982 replied to brandiep1982's topic in General Students

    Yes! This is a very good

  5. Frustrated, feeling prejudged...

    brandiep1982 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, I have spent the last 10+ years with a focus on self improvement. I am big on open mindedness. I m big on education and learning. I am big on patient care. I am big on never thinking I know it all...

  6. Frustrated, feeling prejudged...

    brandiep1982 replied to brandiep1982's topic in General Students

    I totally get this. I have worked as CNA as well as a tech for many years. My mom is saying that no matter what, even with this experience as well as doing well in school, I will have a hard time...

  7. Math - ONLINE?

    brandiep1982 replied to Caramels's topic in General Students

    What area are you in? The community college that I did my prereqs at offered all math classes at or below college algebra as online courses. Anything above this had to be taken in

  8. New grads in specialties without the basics

    brandiep1982 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    While this may be true of your school and many others, I don't think it is right to lump all nursing schools together. The school I start in the fall allows IV's, med pushes, most all skills after...

  9. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    brandiep1982 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    Ya, I about passed out.. no joke, I actually got very dizzy when I saw the grand total of my texts... and I haven't even purchased scrubs

  10. New grads in specialties without the basics

    brandiep1982 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, it seems silly that a program wouldn't let you start IV's. But then again, I went to medic school when we were still allowed to practice IV's on each other (the students)... It really doesn't...

  11. New grads in specialties without the basics

    brandiep1982 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa.. kinda wrote a book there. Sorry guys... I think I just wanted to write a lot so I could avoid going back to microbiology... final is

  12. New grads in specialties without the basics

    brandiep1982 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have read most of the comments here. An observation I have made is that there are excellent points on both sides. I love reading these types of posts so I can keep them in mind when I am in...

    brandiep1982 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya I'm having the same problem. :) We are almost there. My last exam was thursday and our final is this thursday. Our unknown lab specimins are due tuesday. Then we are DONE! Good luck to

    brandiep1982 replied to Mursanary's topic in General Nursing

    I commented on the wrong one of your posts. I shouldn't have posted in the entrepreneurial page. I don't have any tips for you bc I just don't know anything about finding ways to make more money...

    brandiep1982 replied to Mursanary's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I don't have any tips for you bc I just don't know anything about finding ways to make more money beyond finding higher paying hospitals. I did want to say something about the "in it for the money"...

  16. What is trauma nursing really like?

    brandiep1982 replied to Futurenurse98's topic in Emergency

    To be honest, you sound like a good candidate for Paramedicine. I loved it. 85% of calls are ho-hum, but there are those last 15% that are real traumas/ medicals. When I first started, I was all about...

  17. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    brandiep1982 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, ok, even I thought this this time... not

  18. I Hate People (my rant)

    brandiep1982 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm confused... how does someone not see the difference between dead and dying? This is a fundamental item that any health care provider should really understand

  19. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

    brandiep1982 replied to Arizona#1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think threatening to report this type of personality will do any good. It would likely add fuel to the fire. I'm just saying different personality types should be handled differently.... Not...

  20. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

    brandiep1982 replied to Arizona#1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with just about everything I have read here. I do have one question, though. Before the very first time you went to management to request getting a different person to train you, did you ever...

  22. Microbiology Study Advice

    brandiep1982 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have one week left... we have an exam Thursday, our unknown lab project begins tomorrow, then final is next thursday. I can maintain an A in the course if I get a 90 on this exam and the project,...

  25. I Hate People (my rant)

    brandiep1982 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is something I had to address in myself several years ago... if you actually hate people internally it will show even if you think you are successfully hiding it. It changed a lot of things for...
