  1. single mom about to start BSN

    kkbb replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    I have a grade schooler and a toddler and am half way through my nursing program. In some ways it is easier with my toddler because I just drop her off at one place and pick her up there. My older...

  2. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    kkbb replied to Inspiration.'s topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am still a student at Brookline, but perhaps I can help you a little. Brookline has national accreditation, not regional. What that means is that for graduate school you would need a school that...

  3. I have an Unhelpful instructor

    kkbb replied to stephey's topic in General Students

    Is it that the questions are not part of what was in the book, or just how the questions are being asked? Some people in my class have trouble with the NCLEX style questions. Remember, NCLEX style...

  4. Best Path to RN for me?

    kkbb replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    I don't know if this is an option in your state, but here you can go to a community college for the ADN and have concurrent enrollment with a local university to essentially do the bridge to RN while...

  5. Weeding Out.

    kkbb replied to SabineEffect's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Boards watch first-time pass rates for the NCLEX and they also look at on time graduation rates. If either of these fall too low, then the school gets in trouble with the Board. OP, is you...

  6. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    kkbb replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Wow. There is about a 30 (or perhaps more) year age difference in our cohort, and we really all get along and support each other, despite our differences. This does not mean that we all hold hands...

  7. First semester -- first week. Overwhelmed

    kkbb replied to Faada's topic in General Students

    I always start off looking at the objectives listed in my syllabus. This helps me focus on parts that I know I will be tested on, and the other stuff I look at, but not as closely. Just take a deep...

  8. Starting nursing school with a 3 year old

    kkbb replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old. Some of my bigger problems this semester have been with my 8 year old. He and I start class at the same time, and the 2 year old's sitter can't get him to...

  9. The sloppy image of nurses today

    kkbb replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just checked the classes I have left in nursing school....no classes in make-up or in hair styling. Should I contact the BON to report my

  10. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    kkbb replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I know that as a new nurse I will make mistakes that perhaps would not have been made by an experienced nurse, her comment about not hiring anyone with less that 3 years experience really got to...

  11. How do you organize your binders?

    kkbb replied to Meldel's topic in General Students

    I am taking 3 in-person classes and one on-line class this semester. I use one binder, divided into syllabus, Fundamentals, Funds lab, Health Assessment, HA lab, Gerontology, Evidence Based Practice,...

  12. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    kkbb replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    I have an uncalendar, which I love. It was plain looking when it arrived, but a few stickers, decorative tape, and color coding my life have made it really fun and cute. I think there are two types...

  13. controlling nerves during lab check-offs

    kkbb replied to wooten3955's topic in General Students

    I have a slight tremble naturally, but it absolutely gets worse when I get nervous. I try not to think about my hands, but put my focus on the "patient." The second I notice my hands are shaking...

  14. Didn't make it.

    kkbb replied to Jessies_hope's topic in School, College Programs

    First, I am sorry that you were not accepted. It hurts, and you can allow yourself to be disappointed. It sounds like the school was very upfront about how many spots were available. The reason...

  15. Student, mom, wife... In that order

    kkbb replied to Andreany9's topic in General Students

    I am 38, with a 8 year old and a 2 year old. It can be hard some days to balance it. Some of the other students will tell me that they don't know how I do it with kids (I currently have a 4.0). The...

  16. Im terrified to start nursing school!

    kkbb replied to rogersim's topic in General Students

    I have a 8 year old and a 2 year old and just finished my first semester with a 4.0. It can be done. Sometimes I would study in between classes, or during nap time, and sometimes it would have to...

  17. College math RIO

    kkbb replied to Poolparty's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I actually thought the My Math Lab quizzes were harder than the midterm or final. The midterm and final were both multiple choice, so there were a few times that I got an answer that wasn't listed so...

  18. Do any of your teachers give out final exam study guides?

    kkbb replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It depends on the class/teacher. The only study guide I got this semester was over 10 pages. By the time it was done, it was over 80

  19. So fed up with my coworker

    kkbb replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some lessons are hard to learn, but hopefully you did learn. Learning to see the world from someone else's perspectives is something that many simply cannot master, nor do they see the need to. Good...

  20. So fed up with my coworker

    kkbb replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a friend who was PRN while she had very young children so that she could maintain her license and keep continuous employment for her resume. When the youngest was school aged she returned to...

  21. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    kkbb replied to Inspiration.'s topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am taking one pre-req (stats) and am also taking Intro to Prof. Nursing, Fundamentals of Nursing and Health Assessment (I think). I don't start clinicals until my second semester because of stats....

  22. NS and kiddos/how to get any studying done?

    kkbb replied to melrey1988's topic in General Students

    I make excuses too. But then I remember that my kids are watching me and learning from me. Sometimes I do my homework while my oldest is doing his, just to enforce the importance of learning for...

  23. NS and kiddos/how to get any studying done?

    kkbb replied to melrey1988's topic in General Students

    I am right there with ya (I have a 2 year old and a 7 year old). Studying can happen anywhere, but in different ways. I study a little longer at school. During bath time I can look at flash cards...

  24. Now that I was accepted I am freaking out

    kkbb posted a topic in General Students

    About 6 years ago I decided that I wanted to go back to school and become a RN. I started off as a back office MA (I didn't like any of the CNA programs in my area). I worked Internal Med for 4...

  25. Now that I was accepted I am freaking out

    kkbb replied to kkbb's topic in General Students

    So glad that I am not the only one! I guess it is natural to be a little nervous about change. Good luck to you all! We got
