  1. Wk 1 and already Panicking?

    direw0lf replied to Llokiiblack's topic in General Students

    If someone told you "new career" would you be ok with that? I mean would you feel disappointed but then say "ok I'll make the best of a new path"? Just that you were open to possibly hearing a new...

  2. Taking a CNA course.. Need Advice

    direw0lf replied to Lilrob2000's topic in General Students

    I took CNA in the summer along with Micro and A&P. That was crazy. CNA classes are generally easy though. I had a lot of anxiety about passing the clinical test still, but the written exam is very...

  3. Declaring a Major help!

    direw0lf replied to TS09's topic in General Students

    Would you complete the biology degree also? If not you need to check with the college to see if you'll owe the tuition for changing to a non-eligible

    direw0lf posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  5. Can I still get into the nursing program?

    direw0lf replied to Nad96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know CCM, a family member of mine went there. I don't live around the area anymore though. If you get A's in chem and micro you'll show them that you learned how to fix your past mistakes. But ..not...

  6. I need some help getting things organized in my work/life balance

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

    There are a lot of free career assessment quizzes you can take online to help you figure it out and give you ideas maybe. You can google "career assessment" or here's one if you're interested: O*NET...

  7. Failed a syllabus quiz already??

    direw0lf replied to Tinkk's topic in General Students

    I think you're being too hard on yourself. And that can cause you to do bad on next exams just by feeling defeated and hard on yourself. I swear that a good part of the grade we earn is influenced...

  8. Advise! Real life with ASN degree

    direw0lf replied to abilail20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is true, but I heard of 3 nurses in my area who got hired in peds as their first job as new grads, I know one was a day shift but I don't know about the others. I'm really hoping I could be that...

  9. I don't want to be a nurse!!

    direw0lf replied to sharebear003's topic in General Students

  10. Advise! Real life with ASN degree

    direw0lf replied to abilail20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Abilail20, when I first decided on nursing, I was all determined "not gonna work nights" and googled info about hiring rate for new nurse grads for the day shifts and asked questions about how do you...

  11. Job while in Nursing school

    direw0lf replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Students

    Sorry if this will sound really ignorant, but if this is the only reason, can you just apply for Obama care? The open enrollment is until the end of this month, I

  12. Nursing "students" have no rights, no protection ... but...

    direw0lf replied to standupspeakout's topic in General Students

    I thought this had to do with the underage drinking question that was here. I got curious and googled "nursing student sues school" and couldn't believe how many think they are entitled to...

  13. Any advice for a prenursing student?

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

    So far I haven't had too hard of a time working while in school, but I used to work at a supermarket and dog walking so it was so good to have flexible and pretty short hours. I'm not sure what will...

  14. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    direw0lf replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    I'm a PRN night patient observer. I love my hours (for now..wait until the next semester begins I might change my mind, but I try not to worry about it yet) I work 11-7. I take a nap at around 7pm...

  15. Grading question

    direw0lf replied to Margok27's topic in General Students

    I would take it up with the nursing director and even president of the college (in a polite way!!) But my school is small, and one voice gets heard. I'm not sure about yours. You could find out if...

  16. Help paying for school

    direw0lf replied to sjefferson's topic in General Students

  18. Any advice for a prenursing student?

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

    Medical terminology definitely helps, but you probably know a lot already from a&p, micro. There's free med term courses online. When you study it, don't just read the definitions of the prefix,...

  19. Any advice for coping with depression r/t relocating for nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to Sylfaen's topic in General Students

    Hey Sylfaen I've read that moving is one of the most stressful events in life..on top of that your heartbreak. I'm sorry that happened. I'm normally a very positive and upbeat person, but when I...

  20. Underage drinking question? please help

    direw0lf replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    I just am so incredibly taken aback by how rude this is. iShaybie I think you didn't take your own advice about posting too much info. I checked your profile because I wanted to just see if you'd made...

  22. Career change

    direw0lf replied to new gal's topic in General Students

    Well you said you don't like being a paramedic because of the arrogance you encounter, the type of calls you dread going on, and the fact you can't do enough? Unfortunately you're going to encounter...

  23. Watches

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I was looking for watches that I can use in clinical too. I wanted one like a fitbit I guess. But fitbit doesn't have the seconds time I need (my friend has a fitbit charge and the seconds display...

  24. Adn Vs Bsn

    direw0lf replied to Schwabee524's topic in General Students

    What I don't understand is why get a BSN when you can just bridge from ADN to MSN? I'm in a BSN program..I don't regret it.. but sometimes I wonder if the other way would have been faster so why waste...
