    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A Lippincott passpoint code came with one of my required school books for a 14 day trial but I don't recommend it. Some wrong info on there, and questions just poor and seemed outdated. Not many...

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I'm taking practice nclex exams and having a lot of trouble with expected vs. unexpected. The stem of the question says what is wrong (ie: hyperthyroidism, increased ICP, etc) Then it says "what does...

  9. Do you think that nursing students need to work as a CNA or nurse aid while in school?

    direw0lf replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Students

    I think it should be required actually..for at least a per diem or brief period. I learned so much as a PCA. My job is what got me hired. They didn't care what my GPA was (3.9 but noone asked when I...

  10. nclex and work

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    A couple weeks ago my manager asked to put me down for days to work in June-July (as as PCT). I said I'm not able to schedule my nclex yet and I'm afraid work would fall on it but she said just let...

  12. Easiest nursing schools to get through in Florida?

    direw0lf replied to alison86786's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm from NJ. The ones that are easy are currently losing their accreditation if you look them up. The workload is tough but you need to learn how to manage it just like you will as an RN. Look at...

  14. Summer job advice: help!!!!

    direw0lf replied to Kk1231's topic in General Students

    Well I know if I were you I would want to hear "quit the job and do the camp daycare". But it will depend on your area and how competitive it is to get employed at the hospital systems or where ever...

  15. I want to become a nurse but my husband says I will be always sick and unhappy

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

    Everyone's body is gonna react different. I'm 22 and when I was in pediatric ED, I got the flu 2x in 3 weeks. That was with proper hand hygiene, wearing a mask, and receiving the flu vaccine as per...

  16. Anxiety, please help :(

    direw0lf replied to KamK411's topic in General Students

    Just a side note here, not for this case because there was no blood contact, but in the future don't ever feel like you are irrational if exposure occurs because you would need prophylaxis treatment...

  17. nursing essay to get accepted

    direw0lf replied to sking6182's topic in General Students

    Sometimes when I'm stuck or have writer's block I search for other essays on the same topic. DEFINITELY NOT TO COPY. But to get some inspiration. You can really read any nursing school essay topic to...

  18. Currently Lost in Pursuing Nursing

    direw0lf replied to OptimisticAraceli's topic in General Students

    The OP said her dream is to be a NICU nurse. She just doesn't know how to get there with the current GPA. I can relate, I was a terrible high school student until my senior year when I "woke up"....

  19. Nursing student looking for a job at a hospital. Any advice?

    direw0lf replied to NewGradRN96's topic in General Students

    I would continue to pursue the externship position until you are given an answer. Two of my friends did this, one got the job the very next day and the other was told she was not right for the...

  20. New Grad RN Residencies

    direw0lf replied to Kristy96's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals have specific application and start times, and others are open year round to applicants, where applying asap is ALWAYS best! And it doesn't hurt to email/call HR to ask...shows you are...

  21. I'm so lost :(

    direw0lf replied to JenMH88RN's topic in General Students

    I have liked just about every specialty so I can't decide myself! I chose a position in ICU mainly because it is the one area I didn't get much experience in as a student or as a PCT, and also I...

  22. Currently Lost in Pursuing Nursing

    direw0lf replied to OptimisticAraceli's topic in General Students

    I would re-take whatever classes that you can if it would erase the first grade. You need to have a good foundation in A&P especially for nursing anyway. It will make your future nursing classes...

  23. Need advice for my future

    direw0lf replied to TheDongTran's topic in General Students

    Focus on those prereqs. They do teach you things. And like it was already said, they will bring up your GPA. I'd probably think it would be worth it to stick it out where you are now instead of...

  24. Academic Burnout

    direw0lf replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Students

    I also agree that seeing a counselor is a good idea. And if you don't think one is helpful, someone else may click, so if this one doesn't work out you can ask the school counselor for resources. A...

  25. What to do during summer break...

    direw0lf replied to cosmo7009's topic in General Students
