  1. ADN vs BSN Battle

    direw0lf replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I use it because that is what RN instructors have used when they spoke about it to me. It's not that difficult to figure out the statistics for an entire state and what most hospitals and other health...

  2. jobs for nursing students

    direw0lf replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Students

    I don't know how many are interested in this - for me it is like it fits like a glove. I wanted to throw out the perks of dog walking and pet sitting for nursing students! I make $500-800 a week when...

  3. ADN vs BSN Battle

    direw0lf replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My state prefers hiring BSNs. As I was told by a nurse in CNA school: because it gives hospitals better status recognition as well as BSNs "appear more likely" to advance in specialty professions. But...

  4. ADN vs BSN Battle

    direw0lf replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hey. I have actually seen and feel the opposite on nursing groups and forums! (warning: opinion forthcoming!) I feel like many ADN students feel and have stated that BSN is a waste of time. Especially...

    direw0lf replied to Mball925's topic in General Students

    I had taken 6 weeks microbiology with a 4 week CNA class. This summer I have statistics and a "nursing profession" class. On the plus side you will feel so good when they're done and that you got them...

  6. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    direw0lf replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

  7. Seton Hall ABSN fall 2015

    direw0lf replied to Cass11's topic in School, College Programs

    What I know about the program is that it is INTENSE (15 months to RN!) and they don't have a good NCLEX pass rate which means you'll need to do the work make sure you are preparing for NCLEX style...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Wow this was a major wake up for me. I do not ever want it to carry over in the hospital....or have academic dishonesty on my conscience. And thanks GrnTea for the advice not to lie and why. The lie...

    direw0lf replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    My program requires laptops in class .. which I don't have yet. I'm still sweating over book

  13. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    direw0lf replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    I usually like to print out the power points and take notes over them in class. Then at home I write them over in a notebook to clarify/organize it better. When that's done I make simplified flash...

  14. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you again. I do have a plan, there's another girl in the class I know and I'm going to try to get lab partners with her so we'll sit together. She studies hard has never asked for

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks. You're right it was bothering me, especially beginning my nursing classes I don't want it to happen there. I think I liked being a "smart one" in class also. But mostly I have trouble telling...

  16. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I know! That was my thought too. She asked to verify that was the one I was in..and for a second I thought not to tell her. But I thought about her schedule and how it would be impossible for her to...

  17. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    If you had found that out in class, would you have spoken up right then and said she copied? Or have let it go? Actually I just hope never to be in that situation again

  18. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thank you all. These weren't actually nursing classes yet but the science ones. I found out though that one of my friends who did this a lot transferred into a science class with me in the fall. And...

  19. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    My school has a strict no plagiarism policy..I didn't know giving homework answers was considered academic dishonesty. Yeah that's scary I don't want that. I guess I can just say we'll both get in...

  20. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

  21. Help! I'm petitioning for readmission into nursing!

    direw0lf replied to eaglebritt's topic in General Students

    I would say more about the resources/tools/coping methods you will do this time around and less about what problems you had just IMHO. Talk about using the school: contacting your teachers more and...

  23. Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    direw0lf replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    For my school, clincals are either a pass/fail and you need a grade and a weighted quantitative test average of 77% (C+) in nursing, science and math courses. Nursing courses may be repeated one time...

  25. What do you do when you realize nursing is not for you?

    direw0lf replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    I wonder if maybe you want to explore why you feel this way about other patients (the dislike and no compassion)? Because if you find out why you might find out maybe it's not really not the fact...
