  3. Is one C on my transcript going to kill me?

    direw0lf replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

  9. This makes me disappointed!

    direw0lf replied to Nursein2017's topic in General Students

    Best advice I can give you: Worry about yourself and don't get caught up in any drama with your classmates!!! Is this what you want to think about, or wouldn't you rather think about your studying or...

  10. Quitting Nursing School

    direw0lf replied to lovlina's topic in General Students

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Nursing

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

    My school only allows someone out of the flu vaccine but then they are required to wear a mask. For my hepatitis B and MMR, titers were acceptable. There is a blood test for the PPD you could get...

  14. CNA to ADN and CLEP

    direw0lf replied to Silver Surfer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused too with the back up thing. If nursing isn't your first choice, you're probably going to hate your life as one. I don't care how the job security is or isn't or what the pay is. I see...

  16. What good nursing schools can I get into?

    direw0lf replied to Tanya081's topic in General Students

    Well Rutgers is a popular school. It's known for a "party school" reputation. As such it is a crowded school. Talking about 50-100 students in a general ed or science class typically. The nursing...

  17. Pa if you could go back and do it over?

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    My turn to ask one of these questions now!! I've read before "rn vs pa or md" but my question is a little different. If you had the time, means, and ability to go to pa school would you have still...

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

  20. Taking A&P 1 and 2 this summer

    direw0lf replied to kateclapp's topic in General Students

    Not just for the grade, but you want to be sure to learn the info because you're going to need to be able to recall it for your nursing classes. I would save summer classes for gen eds if it's not...

    direw0lf replied to Raven Sierra's topic in General Students

    Woop, well I was a little grouchy that day I see.. I think I was just kind of fed up with in my own life how people talk about each other behind their backs and this post triggered a nerve after my 4...

  22. Borderline....

    direw0lf replied to al-sheikhh's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to offer some encouragement. It does get easier to take those nclex style questions. At first I got so frustrated. Either I overthought the answer choices, or didn't think them through...

    direw0lf replied to al-sheikhh's topic in General Students

    direw0lf replied to al-sheikhh's topic in General Students

    I don't know if someone said this already but it probably was, but it really depends on where you live! I must be lucky, because new grads are hired fast that I hear about, no experience necessary....

    direw0lf replied to Raven Sierra's topic in General Students

    Haha this is going to be seen as a witchy comment, and I 100% admit it is but "dwelling on what other students are doing and saying and making a discussion post about it" because really....if a...
