  1. Awful Preceptor

    direw0lf replied to RN Grad 17''s topic in General Students

    Are you being proactive, taking the initiative, saying "I can get that done" or "before I go chart, I can take care of that" or "can I do anything else right now for you" Or are you just waiting to be...

  2. Help! Desperately seeking advice before I turn my life upside down!

    direw0lf replied to Tempest626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I HATE teaching kids who would rather be on snapchat and who are 10000% clueless about the world around them" Definitely spend some time shadowing a nurse FIRST then, do yourself a favor!!! Because...

  4. Specialization: When to Decide?

    direw0lf replied to Alrewolf's topic in General Students

    It becomes a whole nother ballfield when you want to go to grad school for nursing though. I've been comparing schools. I have one more year before I graduate with a BSN but I am very serious about...

  5. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    direw0lf replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    Comparing the curriculum and not going by experience, I'd say even a doctorate of nurse practitioner is not as hard as medical school. But to say whether a nurse can come to KNOW more than a physician...

  6. I just want to let it out....

    direw0lf replied to xxbeatrix's topic in General Students

    And this is exactly why I kinda maybe annoyingly try to warn others to keep a BALANCED life. Some people are really REALLY into school. I am one of those I'm not bragging here about brains at all,...

  7. Student: Pediatrics or Med-Surg?

    direw0lf replied to McBridSR's topic in General Students

    I was always disinterested in orthopedics and bariatrics. When it was time for the ortho and GI lectures in medsurg I inwardly groaned. I applied for an internship and poof I landed on a mainly ortho...

  8. Path as a prereq/no pharm

    direw0lf replied to Alexis_chiane's topic in General Students

    The patho you had is going to be reiterated..again and again...in your upcoming nursing classes. Because you may not have retained too much of it, you'll need to study more in your classes. You won't...

  9. Working and Nursing School

    direw0lf replied to S7ud3n7_Nur53's topic in General Students

    16-24 hours is very doable. You need to sacrifice some things you might have normally done in your free time. I work as an intern now, and I was a patient observer in the school year. I will work as a...

    direw0lf replied to DotFlower's topic in General Students

  12. I don't understand bsn to dnp programs

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi again, I spoke with a teacher at my school who recommended Penn state's bsn to dnp program as a really good school to prepare me (less focus on theory, more focus on clinical skills). It costs 50k...

  13. I don't understand bsn to dnp programs

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you once again all! It's definitely a lot to consider and I realize that because my choice is so narrow that it would be hard to do another area. That's why I chose medsurg for my externship,...

  14. Sanity in through nursing school

    direw0lf replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in General Nursing

    Exercise! I walk my dogs nearly every day no matter what at a nice park or lake. I also started using my school's gym: it's free and I can take my notes there while I ride the bike. I'll also watch...

  17. I hated being a CNA, will this mean I'll hate being a nurse?

    direw0lf replied to TinyLilly's topic in General Nursing

  21. Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    direw0lf replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    Well I'm a student not a nurse (just for the record I don't myself drink because I don't like it) but the difference is that unless you are a binge drinker or other form of alcoholism, 1-2 regular...

    direw0lf replied to rnvmei's topic in General Students

  25. what is the best way to use Nclex Review?

    direw0lf replied to tbird88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm far from the wisest here, but I used the Illustrated Guide to the Nclex to study before I had any nursing classes, and it was so beneficial. I impressed my instructors when I got to Physical...
