1. Switching nursing schools

   guest874748 replied to Thl27's topic in General Students

   I don't really understand the emphasis on ACEN/CCNE accreditation. Can't transfer anyways. Like as long as a school is approved by the state's nursing board, you're good to take the NCLEX. I'm currently trying to get approval to test out of some of t...

2. Dropped from cohort

   guest874748 replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

   Thank you for the reassuring words. Tbh I couldn't believe I got into any programs! 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I think maybe with the covid stuff not that many people applied. My HESI was a 96, but my GPA is like a 2.6-2.7 and my work ethic/discipline is....

3. Dropped from cohort

   guest874748 replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

   I actually just emailed the assistant dean and the dean about it, if nothing else than to get my money put back into my account. From the 2 financial administrators I spoke to a couple days ago, the nursing department has to confirm that I am no long...

4. Dropped from cohort

   guest874748 replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

   Oh yeah, I am usually like that believe it or not. I just figured since the school texts/emails at least 4-5 times week about 'reminders' (payment due, sign up for classes deadline, financial aid deadline, 'you haven't met with the required academic ...

5. Dropped from cohort

   guest874748 replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

   Well I dk about all that, I actually read the terms of it and in it, it says nothing about no compliance = dropped. No payment, yes, but I fulfilled that. I wasn't speaking legally, I was asking in terms of taking it to the dean or student affairs.

6. Dropped from cohort

   guest874748 posted a topic in General Students

   I need advice, I don't know if I should push the issue because I'm a believer that if something is going wrong from the beginning that it's an ominous sign! I also know that everyone is convinced they're 'right' in a disagreement, so I'm worried I'm ...

7. Mask Fatigue

   guest874748 replied to Cjones864's topic in General Nursing

   does this make it rest on your cheeks vs. the bridge of your nose? I have a rib graft on my nasal bridge that was affixed right where those n95 masks press. 'hanging on by a string' through my dorsum, literally LOL I don't know how long it takes to o...

8. Benadryl false positive for methadone??!?

   guest874748 replied to Ohionurse19's topic in General Nursing

   Why wouldn't you be able to have benedryl even if you were in a monitoring program?! Didn't they remove the 'purp drank' out of benedryl kids were taking it for?

9. Meltdown at Work and Feel like a Failure

   guest874748 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   *Long post caution! NM just got their lock down extended today for the next...who knows how many weeks. Gonna be a whole lotta time spare time and I'm pretty talkative LOL I once had a teacher question me for 45 minutes on a presentation she des...

10. Low GPA

    guest874748 replied to llbean's topic in Pre-Nursing

    yeah if you look through the student handbooks of all the nursing programs (well, the undergraduate haven't looked into any of the master's/doctorate) you'll see there's a phrase in all of them saying, "challenge exams available for all nursing cours...

11. Thoughts on ABSN/ELMSN School Debt

    guest874748 replied to beeeaanss's topic in General Students

    why not do an accelerated ADN at a community college? There's one in oklahoma city that's like 9 months, Houston has one that is "self paced" online didactic, Philadelphia has one for like 11 months (I believe this is a private program though, probab...

12. CRNA or med school

    guest874748 replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in SRNA

    CRNA. Osteopathic programs (DO) have the same curriculum as Allopathic programs (MD) with the addition of about 20 more credit hours (these are kind of like a chiropractic education). Medical school requires calculus, calculus based physics for 2 sem...

13. RN, BSN (with master and Doctorate in other field)

    guest874748 replied to RNtoFNPAspirant's topic in Online Learning

    Money I'm sure. Of all the ridiculous college success annoying stuff they made me do in high school and throughout college, none of them ever mentioned CLEP. How many people would take any gen ED's knowing that you could test out of them for $90 and ...

14. RN, BSN (with master and Doctorate in other field)

    guest874748 replied to RNtoFNPAspirant's topic in Online Learning

    I know that in California there is some rule that requires nursing programs to offer challenge exams for all nursing courses (at least for the ADN and BSN programs) perhaps you could check out a FNP program based there and see if it's for the master'...

15. Low GPA

    guest874748 replied to llbean's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There is a girl in my small town of NM that came here just for the nursing program from California because it's so hard to get in there. I'm assuming because there's a requirement for Cali nursing programs that a student can test out of all courses t...
