2. No RN experience and pursuing a master's?

   nikxi36 replied to Beautiful Ladybug's topic in New Nurse

   MSN RN here. I did go into an entry level program with a non-nursing background. I initially thought I wanted to work bedside and ended up doing that for a short time (outside the hospital) before getting into case management. I do suspect my ...

5. Nursing Student Studying Tips

   nikxi36 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   Nursing is a way of thinking and very conceptual in nature. I would make up scenarios to answer in Quizlet to meld the concept with something I might encounter in real life. I was silly and creative in some of it, which took the edge off when I...

6. Unfair Grading

   nikxi36 replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

   Yes, agree with this too. This is deeper than just your isolated situation. It is widespread and it will not be changed. I know that doesn’t really give you any grounding but I hope it gives you some perspective. Please don’t forget, none of this wil...

7. Unfair Grading

   nikxi36 replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

   OP, I get what you are saying. I think I still have PTSD from my nursing school experience myself. Some of it due to these types of things. Here you reached out to AllNurses for some perspective and a lot of these folks are dismissing your ...

8. Is it worth going from Paramedic to RN in Florida?

   nikxi36 replied to Medic1995's topic in General Nursing

   Here’s the thing…it’s not the same. I think you are looking at nursing being completely skills based and it’s not. Nursing is largely a philosophy and that is what you will gain with the RN title. I have no doubt you will be an excellent ca...

   Yeah they actually had us sign something that said we wouldn't work more than a 0.5! Curious if you can tell me more about the masters half cuz we're coming up on that now.

    @farminnurse Honestly it kind of depends on the semester...and how much you're willing to put in to maintain grades. If you were getting straight A's before, you probably won't anymore unless you put in the SERIOUS time to maintain it. I know all the...

    Perhaps this is a question for @Nursing16lr, but does anyone have any insight on our schedule for the first year? I have a dog that I like to let out mid-day and am having a very hard time finding a house for us to rent in the area that my boyfriend ...

    Curiousrei, thank you for looking that up! I've been unable to log in so far. We are going to eat, sleep, and breath school this summer! I'm really excited for clinicals! I'm actually a little surprised that we'll start that in our first quarter.

    nikxi36 replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington

    Nursing16lr, can you tell us what the schedule is like in that first quarter? I'm trying to figure out logistically if it would be better to move to Puyallup or Tacoma. I have an older pet that needs care in the middle of the day and I've been fortun...

    @Nursing16lr, thank you so much for dropping in here. Any information you could share would be much appreciated! I did get wait listed and I'm wondering if you or anyone you know might have advice on that. I'm not sure if there is something I can do ...
