  1. Starting nursing school at 37...

    wannabeny replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I started my nursing career at 29. I have a huge mix of people in my program; from just out of high school to people in their 40's and 50's. Two of my favorite students are a mom...

  2. Which is worse? A W or an F?

    wannabeny replied to shycat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say do what feels right for you. Trying to work full time and take two science courses is enough of a workload, honestly. adding a college algebra class onto it seems a bit overkill. You would...

  3. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    wannabeny replied to AnneC.'s topic in School, College Programs

    It isn't a "self taught" program. You have to learn how to study efficiently, and pick out important concepts. The professors are more than accommodating and want you to succeed. But they will not...

  4. Efficiently Reading Nursing Textbooks

    wannabeny replied to lmaezuber's topic in General Students

    Tried that my first semester; didn't work for me. Gather your power points, modules, and reading list. That is the bulk of what your professor wants you to know. I generally took those three items,...

  5. Will I have a social life in nursing school

    wannabeny replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is your definition of a social life? Personally, I'm an introvert so I prefer to be home or out kayaking, hiking,etc. Not much for going out all the time unless it's lowkey. Even with ADHD and...

  6. Nursing @ 32?

    wannabeny replied to Firstina's topic in General Students

    I'm just shy of 30 and in school. Spent all of my teens & twenties travelling and riding racehorses. Decided I needed a career change. The woman who mentored me on the racetrack, was an assistant...

    wannabeny replied to redruddi31's topic in General Students

    That's the spirit í ½í¸† good

  8. I feel like Im going to fail clinical!!! what do I do

    wannabeny replied to redruddi31's topic in General Students

    Breathe. Try to shove the anxiety off a cliff. So let's look at some things here... 1) have you asked your instructor specifically what you need to work on? 2) do you have a clinical study buddy, or...

  9. Clinical advice

    wannabeny replied to Memphis89's topic in General Students

    Don't throw in the towel over a problem that can be fixed easily by learning to better your organization skills. Nursing school is a well-organized beast that takes some getting used to. As an ADHD...

  10. How do you handle leechers aka LAZY STUDENTS in your class?

    wannabeny replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    A simple "no" will suffice. Don't pay any mind to the leechers; they eventually get weeded out for not putting in the effort. Those who are making an effort and seek their classmates help, generally...

  11. Nurse-client Relationship Boundaries

    wannabeny replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Students

    Yes. you should never give out this information to a patient. So far, it seems like she is a nice person who had genuine intentions, but remember that there are many different people who enter...

  12. What cheers up when you're having a rough time in NS?

    wannabeny replied to PurplePens's topic in General Students

  13. Power points in nursing school? And number?

    wannabeny replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I didn't print my powerpoints. There were 300+ per class. I would look at each powerpoint, and then in word processor, and make a table of all the topics listed in the powerpoint, my reading list, and...

  14. Failed (?) My 1st Nursing Exam...VENTING

    wannabeny replied to Beggargirl's topic in General Students

    It happens. Don't get too frustrated about it. Even if you did fail, you didn't fail by much and can easily make that up. Did you analyze why you failed? Was it a lack of studying/not comprehending,...

  15. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

    wannabeny replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    I took Chemsitry and AP at the same time during the summer session and managed to work as well. Chem was tough just because I found it so boring. It just depends on your study habits, and how well you...

  16. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    wannabeny replied to AnneC.'s topic in School, College Programs

    "pre-program application" means your application is in review. From my experience, my status page went from "pre-program application" to "pre-admission" and I received an email right after that I had...

  17. Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    wannabeny replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you're going through this. I'll tell you the same thing I told my fiance when he flat out stated "I really hope you don't get accepted so we aren't apart", as we would be LDR for 6...

  18. My coworker was high and got away with it

    wannabeny replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Lets educate you a bit; MANY things can be made with pot. How did the OP know for CERTAIN they were pot brownies unless she was partying with Jon and consumed some herself? Many people joke about...

  19. Anyone w/ experience on out of pocket Humira cost?!

    wannabeny replied to wannabeny's topic in General Nursing

    He might just have to explore other alternatives if this is a normal occurrence. I meant that if he is paying $2600 a month for insurance, there has to be something wrong with his plan if they are...

  20. Anyone w/ experience on out of pocket Humira cost?!

    wannabeny posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, my brother just called me in a big fit of rage..apparently despite the fact that he pays nearly $3,000 a month, they want him to pay $2,600 for Humira injections. He will have to take them...

  21. Anyone w/ experience on out of pocket Humira cost?!

    wannabeny replied to wannabeny's topic in General Nursing

    that is truly horrendous that they do this to people who need these medications, just makes me so mad! Would alternatives be just as expensive? I saw in a few posts on here that some of the...

  22. I've been told to change my major, I'll never make it as a nurse

    wannabeny replied to Myfuture1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the advisor told you that you would not meet the requirements for acceptance into their program. Advisors are there to advise; it is up to you to do what you need to with the information given, not...

  24. Nursing school: How did you make it? How many hours should you put in per week?

    wannabeny replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    first rule of life: don't make superficial judgments on people & situations you don't know. it causes unnecessary stress on you, and unfair expectations on whatever it is you're judging...

  25. Broward College May 2017

    wannabeny replied to NSU2020's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you registered for a weekday clinical you'll stay on that day. Very rarely do they swap students around from the day or instructor they registered for; although at North Campus, if we really wanted...
