  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  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,...

  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

  9. Meltdown at Work and Feel like a Failure

    guest874748 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    *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...

  10. Low GPA

    guest874748 replied to llbean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  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...

  12. CRNA or med school

    guest874748 replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

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

    guest874748 replied to RNtoFNPAspirant's topic in Online Distance 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...

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

    guest874748 replied to RNtoFNPAspirant's topic in Online Distance 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...

  15. Low GPA

    guest874748 replied to llbean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  16. Is Going to a Non-Accredited School a Waste of Time?

    guest874748 replied to daishadee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ah sorry I just saw your question, I got into Brookhaven in Dallas. I actually wasn't expecting it because my grades aren't too hot, but I scored well on the HESI. I'm in New Mexico and thought I'd...

  17. Is Going to a Non-Accredited School a Waste of Time?

    guest874748 replied to daishadee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm no longer thinking about it because I got into a community college program, but some of the 'BON-only' accredited were tempting because of their credit hour requirements. Hypothetically, if you...

  18. Is Going to a Non-Accredited School a Waste of Time?

    guest874748 replied to daishadee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hondros' direct entry ADN program was really tempting. They count ANY 30 hour college experience and pretty much place you on the same level as an LPN. Plus A&P 1 and 2, math, english, were all...

  19. Help I'm failing Anatomy for a 2nd time?

    guest874748 replied to candicethacker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    anatomy and physiology is really just memorization and it's pretty hard to do without mneunomics. I always used the "for dummies" or mometrix version of whatever class I was in for about $25. It...

  20. Friend diagnosed with cancer but can't get surgery?

    guest874748 replied to Juniper83's topic in General Nursing

    Patients can order their own blood work now thanks to the lobbying Theranos did in AZ. I go through ultawellness, Quest does the draw, it's pretty cheap. Rising PSA, AFP? Blood work in the mean time...

  21. Medical experience for applying to nursing schools

    guest874748 replied to munkyfusic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    oh wow, I just looked up portland's nursing program requirements and yeah, it'd be pretty hard to get in without prior healthcare experience. I noticed that like half of the health care experience...

  22. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

    guest874748 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Majority of the shell schools operate on the concept of 'lost in the chaos' and it's easier to do with non-US education verification in exchange for

  23. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

    guest874748 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Just throwing this out there, if I remember correctly you are from Florida? When I went to med school in the Caribbean, a lot of the "main office" (shell company consulting firms, mostly) were based...

  24. Which courses do I include to fulfill the Chemistry prerequisite for CSU nursing programs in California?

    guest874748 replied to 2bnursebunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't answer for California because I applied in OK, TX. All the schools I applied for took my highest grade for my pre-reqs. I was able to substitute my college algebra C for my trigonometry A for...

  25. Co-worker feels left out & referred to me as a bully today

    guest874748 replied to Nurse162's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The fact that she is pushing for a friendship with someone who has made it pretty clear she really doesn't want to be friends points to other issues going on in her life. Depression, anxiety, poor...
