  1. Nursing "students" have no rights, no protection ... but...

    NurseEmmy replied to standupspeakout's topic in General Students

    I get the general idea of the rant - The OP feels students have limited protection. I agree with this statement. However, as a student you should be fully aware of this when you start the program. You...

  2. Grading question

    NurseEmmy replied to Margok27's topic in General Students

    I try my best to not concern myself with other's grades. If you passed I wouldn't worry about it. I understand you are frustrated, but I know some professors will help students out who are on the...

  3. Ivytech LPN - RN 2015

    NurseEmmy replied to EssKay14's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I did get in, but had to drop my spot due to some family emergencies that came up. I am applying again for the Summer. Did you get

  4. Grades are in! How did you do?

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

    All 4 classes were A's. I was hoping to get a C in my Advanced Physiology (my professor/the class was awful), but I pulled it together and got an A. I am thrilled! I have the spring semester off, and...

  5. Someone please talk me down from panicking!

    NurseEmmy replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have worked two jobs and taken full credit hours for 3 semesters now. You should be able to handle two classes. Keep in mind they are going to be "quicker" semesters so you will HAVE to set time...

  6. Always wanted to be a nurse

    NurseEmmy replied to Trista Rose's topic in Indiana Nursing

    In Northern IN LPNS have a lot of options - LTC, PDN, Hospice, Outpt MD offices, and corrections. Research your school and make sure you are chosing a quality education. Indiana has had some issues...

  7. Ivy Tech LPN-RN

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The time has come. Make sure you get your applications in by their deadlines! I am applying to the SB campus so our deadline is 2/1/16. Make sure that you get everything you need NOW so that you are...

  8. Ivy Tech LPN-RN

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Anyone else trying for the 2016 program? I was accepted in 2015, but had to give up my spot due to some unforseen health issues with my husband, and a pregnancy for myself. I hope I get accepted again...

  9. Getting a C in CHEMISTRY

    NurseEmmy replied to Ayanna93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a C in chem. Luckily for my school it is just a coreq and not something that counts for "points" for admission. Each school is different. I don't think your GPA will drop below a 2.8 as long as...

  10. new year resolution

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

    Oh and my resolution is to WIN the

  11. new year resolution

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

    I work two jobs and am in school with a family. You HAVE to set time aside for school. I feel like I missed too much of my family this semester, but at the end of the day something has to give. I...

  12. Waiting for Final Grades!

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

    I got 4 A's instead of the two A's and two B's I was expecting. I am THRILLED! Now for my wonderful winter break..

  13. Finals

    NurseEmmy replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I like online testing, but this would upset me. How do you prove what you first marked unless it's on paper? They better get fixing those

  14. Passed nursing 3!!!

    NurseEmmy replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Enjoy your short break and get back to

  15. Failing out

    NurseEmmy replied to Sola8729's topic in School, College Programs

    Can you appeal the termination in hopes of getting back in next semester. Many schools allow you to take a class twice. However, I don't know of any that allow 3x so learn better study habits. I...

  16. Waiting for Final Grades!

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

    I have one more test tomorrow and then I am DONE with this semester. I am expecting to have 2 A's and 2 B's. I'm not a fan of the B's, but I'll just be glad when this semester is

  17. do schools do random drug tests?

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

    Things will be ok. My school does random testing, but typically only if there is a concern. That being said the concern might not even be with you, but with another student, but they may randomly test...

  18. Would you hire an MUSC grad over anyone else?

    NurseEmmy replied to lowkey_44's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of the school. As another poster mentioned, the name of the school typically only matters locally. Sounds like someone is trying to impress upon you, the grand importance of their...

  19. Passed exit hesi, not theory

    NurseEmmy replied to lnottage's topic in General Students

    I doubt you can sit for NCLEX. Your school will have to say you completed the program successfully which you did not do. Ask the dean of your program what can be done (if anything) since you were so...

  20. Embarrassed and depressed

    NurseEmmy replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    You do whatever you have to, to survive nursing school. You shouldn't be dating anyway.. those are precious hours that can be spent studying, writing up care plans, doing homework, etc (halfway...

  21. color of clinical scrubs?

    NurseEmmy replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    I had to wear all white scrubs - tops, bottoms, shoes, and lab coat. Even if you kept the stains away, they faded to that ugly off white color from the constant washing. I HATED

  22. Feeling Discouraged, Please help me

    NurseEmmy replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    Talk with your professors, your academic advisor, the tutor room (if you have one), and your fellow classmates. They can all give you tips and insight on not only how your program works, but perhaps...

  23. Failed nursing school

    NurseEmmy replied to Hello:)'s topic in General Students

    It happens. Some are able to recover self esteem wise and try again at another school. Others let if defeat them and give up. Only you can decide your path. Don't worry about being embarrassed or...

  24. Frustrated by cheaters?

    NurseEmmy replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    If the upperclassmen are giving them answers they're idiots. Why give someone an advantage that you never had. I am more than happy to share tips, maybe a hint or two about what professors...

  25. Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

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

    I was not a fan of Chemistry either. In fact you won't use prob. 50% of what you learn in that class. However, you will use the other 50% quite a bit, which is why it is important to take it. I...
