  1. Quit during orientation

    direw0lf replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I saw this thread a couple weeks ago? And never read it, then curiosity got me since it keeps growing and being nearly at the top of the forum. I share the sentiments of this quote. I am not going to...

  2. Is it worth becoming a CNA?

    direw0lf replied to changr's topic in General Students

    If you have extra money to spend and time to kill, being a CNA has advantages, but is definitely not necessary. I was in a CNA program. Making an occupied bed with hospital corners was the hardest...

  3. Not working during nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I noticed the amount of replies, but I am needing to get to bed, so only read page 1. I just wanted to say to the OP, some "odd jobs" like dog walking and pet sitting can really help you during this...

  4. Help with writing

    direw0lf posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know a helpful resource or website or ideas please? What helps you write? My classmates seem to do it so easy. I think I'm kind of a perfectionist so I get frustrated easy when I try and...

  5. Help with writing

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

    Thank you so much for the replies and tips. I haven't been able to come on allnurses much since my 2nd summer class started (intense time!) I was surprised at how much writing is required in my...

  6. I have memory problems and problems retaining information

    direw0lf replied to melbear's topic in General Students

    EVERYONE has struggles in one area or another! You are not alone and I don't know if it's that you are a "bit slower than everyone else" or if you just haven't found a method that will work for you!!...

  7. Picking a minor

    direw0lf replied to msannaa's topic in General Students

    This is really what it's about - personal fulfillment. I have 3 years to go so I double majored in bio because I love it. I did poor in high school and didn't bother to do studying or homework. It's...

  8. What to do?

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

    What does the 2nd degree bsn program require? For example Seton hall university requires healthcare statistics among other classes that would probably be better to take as an

  9. Clinical and bio class

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

    If you can get an nclex study book and spend the rest of your summer going over it, I found that it really covered a&p I and ii. I used the Illustrated guide to the nclex. Also if you can get the...

  10. I can't wait to be a nurse!!!!

    direw0lf replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    It is. That's why I'm also completing a bio major. I made the choice though so I really don't like to think about what I should have done instead like a different school. And I missed the deadline to...

  11. I can't wait to be a nurse!!!!

    direw0lf replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    3 years (my school starts the nursing program for sophmores instead of juniors) it feels very long right now. I'm also learning to shut out the comments I get of "why aren't you going for a PA instead...

  12. Is this right?

    direw0lf replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Oh I agree. I wasn't disagreeing but trying to get her to see the examples where she should or can question or make changes, but either way just that she makes sure she knows herself. Everything she...

  13. Is this right?

    direw0lf replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    That's 4 classes since bio and lab are one? If you don't work can you add a gen ed on? Bio is the easiest science class you'll have possibly and it can easily be taken with another science. BTW I do...

  14. challenge examination for becoming a registered nurse?

    direw0lf replied to KYWOMAN58's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought like bucky...seems nurses and op should know. I looked into a med technology degree (with Rutgers) and it's mainly all chemistry. Edit - op your knowledge will help. Let us know what you'll...

  15. Microbiology is stressing me out

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

    I took micro geared twd nursing students in the summer too (it was actually regular micro but the teacher said he especially teaches with medical and nursing students in mind) Summer science classes...

  16. Precalculus and calculus vs statistics

    direw0lf posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a basic statistics class this summer. I love it. I was really uninterested in algrbra so I'm surprised. My question is are precalculus and calc more like algebra or more like statistics?

  17. Taking physio and 3 other classes in the same semester

    direw0lf replied to Ilargia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry if this is not a good question but why finish the MA program if you'd rather be a nurse? Unless you plan to work as an MA through nursing school I just don't see a benefit if it's going to take...

  18. Does this sound too hard

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks GrnTea! I appreciate the advice (about the writing lab also). I like the idea of auditing neuro if it becomes too hard. The one problem with dropping music is that if I audit neuro plus had...

  19. Does this sound too hard

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Ok I've put it off but I need to decide! Does this sound too hard??? I'm taking foundations of prof nursing and intro to pt care across the lifespan. That doesn't sound too bad since it's not medsurg...

  20. Does this sound too hard

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you. Not my first nursing class but first main ones (forgot to include I had medical terminology online last semester also, and this summer in the required prenursing class which is mostly...

  21. Background check question????

    direw0lf replied to KaraFutureRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    She only wrote about 2 ADN schools as the possibilities so I thought she only wanted that..some people think maybe the BSN is too long. She wrote how disappointed she is and having to change to a 4 yr...

  22. Background check question????

    direw0lf replied to KaraFutureRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Never give up. Even if you need to go to another school, even a BSN. Take the prerequisites and gen eds if you haven't already and keep not giving up, a door will

  23. Occupational Therapy vs BSN (eventually NP?)

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

    Hi may I suggest that if nicu is what you love and have passion for it's worth waiting for then! Because as I read your post and replies your enthusiasm appeared more twd the nursing. I live in NJ and...

  24. Taking Anatomy & Physiology 1 for the first time this fall! Any suggestions???!!!!!

    direw0lf replied to Mb2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I made flashcards and post it notes which definitely helped!!! I put the post its all over my bathroom mirror and the head board on my bed etc. The flashcards I made by printing out pics of different...

  25. nurses hours

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all, I just saw someone write on another forum that she just finished her 3rd 13 hour shift in a row. Is that mandatory and/or normal? If it's not what is the usual amount for mandatory overtime...
