aarnigo ADN, RN

Hello! I recently graduated with an ADN and I am very concern about how I'll have my resume set up. I have no nursing experience whatsoever besides my clinical rotations. I have clerical/shift supervisor, waitress, and some work study experiences, th...

Hello! I'm a new grad starting my first nursing job at an outpatient dialysis unit. This might seem really silly, but I need help cannulating patients with fistulas and grafts. Sometimes I get them, and sometimes I don't - some other time I just need...

Hello! I need help/information about health insurance. I recently got into my college's nursing program and was asked to provide a copy of my health insurance card. The problem is I don't have one and I don't know how to get one. I did try to sign up...

It's okay! This will only make me stronger, haha! I might be! But then again, I don't have any life qualifying events, like the ones you mentioned, so I still don't qualify for coverage outside the enrollment. I am also low-income, so low that they a...

Hello, everyone! So I called the school and they weren't really offering any sort of health insurance. I believe it's because of a law (I'm in NJ) that was passed 3 years ago saying that (full-time) students aren't required to purchase one from the s...

This is my exact problem as well! OP, if you've figured it out, can you please share it with me?

I've been thinking of doing that as well. It's required before all students start their clinicals. I'm just afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it.

I will check them out. Thank you!

I agree for number 7 so so much. Not that I'm selfish, it's just that having a peer group/group study whom you share and exchange knowledge with is different from students who simply asks for answers "just to pass this class". I don't understand. The...

Hello! I currently started taking Pharmacology and for this past few class meetings and readings I realized that I needed to know something about drugs and infos about them so I'm thinking maybe drug reference books are my go-to. Does anyone have any...

Congratulations on your acceptance! I have almost the same situation as yours and I'm feeling really worried as well. People keep recommending me to apply to other schools but it isn't as easy as that because of the prerequisites. In my community col...

I used to record lectures on my Sony recorder, that worked very well on me! Except for the slides and my notes, another thing was simply reading the chapters, and having to do chunks of work everyday--like pieces of questions for practice. Although I...

Yes, I've been checking other nursing programs, too. Thank you so much!

Hello! I'm a pre-nursing student from my local community college. I am currently majoring in General Science--which all students trying to pursue a career in health care have. Please bear with me as I explain my situation. I've been called by my scho...

Hello! Yes, I do want to be a nurse. The prerequisites are the same, but before students can still take the prerequisites until the spring semester and now they changed this up to fall. I tried applying for this coming semester and weren't notified b...

It is a recent decision of mine, but even before I start with the general education requirements I was taking remedial classes and did not really affect anything--only the status of my major. I've also only followed the curriculum design for the sch...

I believe the same way about the graduation rates, she mentioned how I really need to get out of the school as I've been there for 2 years plus this coming fall.

Yes, I believe it is an Associate Degree in Science. I have completed 41 credits--that includes my English, math, history, psychology, and science courses. All I have left is Microbiology, English composition II, and Sociology. What she recommended a...

Hello! I'm a pre-nursing student who recently passed my A&P courses nicely! (I don't know how else to describe that, haha!) Anyway, I never purchased any other study resources for A&P except for my textbook. I mostly read the incoming chapte...

Hello! I am taking all my prerequisites prior to entering the nursing program in my school. I already applied, but still thinking if I should go for it this year or next year. So please bear with me while I summarize my situation. I took all remedial...

Oh no.. I'm sorry if I offended you. I think the best way to know is ask people from the math department, this way you wouldn't surprise yourself over the course. Best of luck!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Cannot wait to feel the same way!! Ahh!

Hello! I have not really experienced what you're going through, so I'm really for that. I would say automatically that if you're hesitating about it right now, then you should really retake them. You wouldn't want to go for Statistics and withdraw/dr...
