  1. I hate group projects

    direw0lf replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    YES!! THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!! I hate that group projects have grades! I'm sorry if I sound like a snob to say this, but I don't trust just everyone to work as hard as I would to earn that A instead...

  2. Nervous about my chances of getting into nursing

    direw0lf replied to Aking80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I studied REBT therapy a little. At its basic level it's about changing negative thoughts to positive ones. IMMEDIATELY! Don't give any time to nurturing the negative thinking (ie: "I'm not smart...

  3. Why isn't pain with physiological needs

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    We've been learning care mapping and ADPIE for a couple weeks and this is just a pet peeve or something but why do you not count pain in the first tier? Especially as it's a 5th vital (or 6th...

  4. Applying to nursing school this year... is a baby a terrible idea?

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

    I don't have more than a spare couple hours out of 24 hours most days of the week. I devote those 2 hours to taking care of my dogs. I can't imagine children, who need much more nurturing! But I could...

  5. Nervous about my chances of getting into nursing

    direw0lf replied to Aking80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe I am prematurely assuming this, if so I'm sorry, but why are you just "pushing through"? There are therapy techniques that can help you, besides speaking to a

  6. your thoughts when you first decided to be a nurse?

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

    Not many people start off good in math. You can get an algebra tutor now, watch YouTubes (khan academy), practice. I met a girl a year ahead of me in the nursing program who wakes up hours earlier...

  7. Healthcare Certificate?

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

    In my area at least certifications don't hold much weight at all including cna, pct, ekg, and phlebotomy. Experience counts..like if I had worked as a cna. But the cert alone doesn't mean much. My...

  8. Feeling discouraged...

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

    Well sounds like you were helped. I just wanted to add that I noticed people in my class who get C's are really not putting in the study time. Maybe they think they are I never asked them. Some people...

  9. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    direw0lf replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    You know what I might go to med school after I'm a nurse for a while. Why not? If you believe you can't then you'll never even reach the door never mind go

  10. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    direw0lf replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Oh agreed!!! My nursing teacher told us about someone who worked as a CNA before med school!! He's now a NYC physician. Talk about

  11. I am not a failure

    direw0lf replied to j812's topic in General Students

    Definitely don't get caught up in friend drama things. Not worth it. I remind myself to put me first.. see how my nursing class friends are doing and help each other when I *can* and have fun when I...

  12. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I wish I could like this twice! We had a lesson about legal and ethics a couple weeks ago and read real life articles about making choices that lacked integrity and honesty including a nursing student...

  13. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I don't know what the issue is here. However I can't think of one nursing course where not learning the info wouldn't lead to potentially harming a pt physiologically or psychosocially. The course...

  14. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    direw0lf replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Some people actually do find the medical model easier and have an easier time with organic chem, biochem etc. I am one of those people who does think mcat questions were easier than nclex although I'm...

  15. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I was just kind of complaining about it and letting out my surprise really. Not that I wanted to do anything or cared THAT much. No sleep lost over it

  16. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    This is the nursing program I am in however. And I think sometimes it's up to the student body to speak up and make changes. I'm not saying this time, maybe I never will, however we have voices and...

  17. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    This is just it! I don't really care about the people who cheated. But I really felt like they talked to us so much about as a student nurse and then as a possible future nurse to do the right thing,...

  18. First nursing jobs

    direw0lf replied to rbishop782's topic in General Students

    This is what I plan to do. Nurses are in pretty high demand where I want to move to (at least...according to searching the hospital careers) Try doing

  19. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    direw0lf replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Yeah I am doing a double major in biology and nursing. I'm probably not going to finish the biology and settle for a minor, even though I feel so close. But nursing is going to get harder, plus I want...

  20. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    That's true. At first I thought the easy solution would be to have paper tests but I know they give them on the computer to resemble the nclex more (plus it grades automatic). I liked the idea about a...

  21. Cheating in nursing school

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I do know because the director spoke to someone when I was there. She came to our class to talk about clinicals and hospital changes/parking. A few of us lingered after class was dismissed and...

  22. Decided to continue going back after giving birth

    direw0lf replied to allykimpton's topic in General Students

    I saw a picture on facebook shared to a nursing group of a young mom cradling her sleeping son in her arm and the other hand was taking nursing notes and studying. Very inspirational and who knows...

  23. best voice/tape/memo recorder 2015?

    direw0lf replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    1. Eh you can go with a cheaper steth for your time in school and then get a really nice one for graduation :) That's what I ended up doing/will do. So instead of paying the noncompetitive price (they...

  24. High School Junior Interested in Nursing

    direw0lf replied to sophia2017's topic in General Students

    Can you take a tour of the University of Pennsylvania and talk to some admissions people about what will help your application? I think mostly your grades though. Good

  25. Choosing between TWU traditional and Texas Tech Accelerated programs. HELP PLEASE!

    direw0lf replied to agcna's topic in General Students

    Based on this sentence you wrote "but don't want to spend forever in school" I'm compelled to reply with it's just one more year. That's not a long time! And since you want a more balanced life and...
