  1. Words You Hate

    NurseEmmy replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    I hate mucus/mucous. I hate hearing libary (library), tex (text), warsh (wash) - that's just a

  2. 43% or Higher on TEAS

    NurseEmmy replied to vaneets15's topic in General Students

    You should be fine with that. It's not going to hurt to review things. If you search in the TEAS help section you will find a lot of VERY useful information. I suggest you start there now if you...

  3. Cost of Nursing School

    NurseEmmy replied to jengarcia87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have not filed your FASFA you need to do so ASAP! You will cheat yourself out of possibly thousands of dollars in aid. Other than that my advice is to contact your schools and ask them. EVERY...

  4. Does your facility require a BSN?

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm trying to get an idea of where BSN's are required to get hired. I know some hospitals will hire you with an ASN if you agree to get your BSN within so many years. What about

  5. Drug Testing: After being accepted

    NurseEmmy replied to futurenurse_16's topic in General Students

    The advice given here is irresponsible. Just because others get high without getting caught, doesn't mean you'll get as lucky. Having a positive drug screen as a student can have real consequences for...

  6. The return of the sign on bonus

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! That's a huge sign on bonus. Congrats to you for snagging that. Things must not be that bad if you've been there 10

  7. The return of the sign on bonus

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I was agreeing with you. That size bonus is nice, without warning bells going off in my

  8. The return of the sign on bonus

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that's a huge bonus based on your education. I think that $7,000 is however for an

  9. Scholarships

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Students

    Page not found | Discover Nursing Is another search engine. It says page not found, but the link works. Sorry, struggling with posting this from my phone.

  10. Scholarships

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in General Students

    I have seen a lot of posts lately on how to pay for college. Maybe we could help each other out by listing websites or companies that we all know offer some. I know that this may see like adding to...

  11. Help! I want to be an NP but A&P is killing me! Should I reconsider?

    NurseEmmy replied to Hefziba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with above. I wouldn't change your life plan off of one class. Talk to your prof & classmates about your struggle. Maybe they have tips. One thing that helped me a ton was Khan Academy....

  12. Ivy tech LPN - RN Transition summer 2016

    NurseEmmy replied to YourFaveNurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm so ready to get this started! I can't wait until orientation and to get this started. Onward and

  13. Missed the program deadline

    NurseEmmy replied to michaelcruz95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should be able to take other classes (other than nursing) that your BSN program

  14. I got in!

    NurseEmmy replied to marju's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to everyone!! I got mine earlier this month for an LPN-RN transition

  15. Lowest-cost online science pre-reqs?

    NurseEmmy replied to blondielocks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please check with your school to make sure they will accept these credits. My CC offers online A&P 1 & 2. They do include a lab component (several dissections). Your midterm and final do have...

  16. road block and then another road block

    NurseEmmy replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    If they aren't federal I do believe you can get scholarships, but I don't think they school will give you any. I'd start applying through legit websites like Fastweb. Also see if you have any local...

  17. In nursing school, but not sure that I want to be a nurse anymore

    NurseEmmy replied to Emilyirene916's topic in General Students

    Medical coders can make good money. I teach in a program, and some of my students make more than I do once they graduate! I wouldn't drop yet. You are new to these skills. You aren't going to feel...

  18. What do I need?!

    NurseEmmy replied to WonderBuffStuff's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't buy anything until you know what your school will require. EVERY school is different. Many have nursing "kits" they put together and they require that you purchase them. My LPN program did....

  19. Not enjoying clinical

    NurseEmmy replied to loveflowers's topic in General Students

    There must be something you are doing that is rubbing these people the wrong way. Obviously I'm not aware of what that is. I am going to guess that you are in your first round of clinicals. Take this...

  20. Grading policy for clinical

    NurseEmmy replied to malenurse2bt's topic in General Students

    I would think a letter grade would be pretty difficult to provide for a clinical setting. Obviously care plans would be easy to grade, but clinical skills would be a bit more difficult. I too wonder...

  21. Prejudice Teacher

    NurseEmmy replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    My suggestion would be to record his lecture (unless of course your school has some rule against this) and request an appointment with the powers that be at your school. You do not have to tolerate...

  22. How to deal with ****** hospital staff

    NurseEmmy replied to R.tchadensis's topic in General Students

    I would just let is slide. Get through your clinicals and move on. Some things are not worth making a big deal

  23. Did you receive a politically biased education?

    NurseEmmy replied to Guest910128's topic in General Students

    I have never found any "agenda" present in my education. I'm in a fairly red area and I find that if my opinion differs from that of a prof. or a clinical site, I keep it to myself and push through....

  24. Drug Testing: After being accepted

    NurseEmmy replied to futurenurse_16's topic in General Students

    Mine was a urine drug screen. My suggestion is to stop ALL medications (and of course pot) that you do not have an Rx for. If you pass this drug screen but fail another you are out of the program. You...

  25. Doing awful in nursing school...

    NurseEmmy replied to mariarose's topic in General Students

    You need to talk to your prof's stat! They might be able to help. Talk to your classmates. Maybe do a study session with the more successful ones. Once you figure it out, you'll do fine. Nursing...
