    Getting into nursing school.

    Lol, why does it even matter that much? You got in! :) If you were to find out that the odds were in your favor due to your gender, would you withdrawal?
  2. I wouldn't fit in at a prison, lol. I'm pretty set on the cosmetic side of nursing so I've never considered working in corrections, ever. However there's a girl I met in my program who's dream is to be a corrections nurse! That's all she wants to do ...
  3. Where do you live? I'm sure there a way to find out who uses that company. You could even call them anonymously and try to get a list of who their partnered with. Are you willing to move?

    Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    I've always worn big bows in my hair or colorful headbands to match what I'm wearing. If you like it, wear it! Everyone has their own style. Don't change the way you dress just because someone out there possibly won't like it.

    Nurse Hijabi advice

    I was just about to ask this! It's apart of the uniform. You wouldn't wear the same pants to work as you do while lounging around the house right? No.. you have pants that are designated for work. Which get washed frequently or replaced. Lol. Yikes.

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    Our application deadline was 3/4 and decisions were to be mailed out 4/4.. I got mine on 4/2:) But! I know one person in my program got theirs 3/28!!!

    Anyone planning to start a family before Nursing School or has?

    I have a little girl! She'll be 2.5 in the fall. I've pretty much gotten the hang of studying long hours while still making time for her. I've seen many girls at my school succeed while pregnant/having kids. Single parents, most of them. It's very v...

    Clipping nails at nurse's station

    I don't think I've ever seen so many people have such a negative reaction towards nails, lol. Yikes

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    I don't find out until April! Thinking about it makes me itch.. I don't know why. :/ The program doesn't start until September so It's not like this letter changes anything! lol D:
  13. Nope, and no. :)

    IV Dosage Help!

    Please help! I really can't figure this out. My book isn't giving me all of the steps nor can I find a video on YouTube "The physician prescribed 250mg of an antibiotic in 30mL of D51/2 NS to infuse over 30 minutes, followed by a 15mL flush. The ant...

    IV Dosage Help!

    Using the formula above: 65ml / 30 mins x 60gtt / 1ml = 130 ml/hr" ?!?!??! What.

    IV Dosage Help!

    A friend in another nursing group gave me : "45ml/30mins x 60gtts/ml=90 ml/hr" and, while that works here, it's not working with the next problem.

    IV Dosage Help!

    And apparently 70 mL/hr is too. (if I used the 5mL of sterile water)

    Nursing school and hard homelife

    I'm sorry! I was in a relationship where my partner acted like this. Very hypocritical, put me down about the smallest things, never acknowledge accomplishments, etc. You have to get thicker skin. Start ignoring the negativity. They WANT to upset you...

    Small paycheck making me second guess career!

    This makes me nervous! I made out pretty great as a waitress, but was hoping to do better w/ a degree or two in nursing. :/ Maybe it varies by state?! Do you have the option to opt out of benefits/Union?

    I have an Unhelpful instructor

    Can you switch classes? I know in my school you have about a month to switch to a different class, for reasons like these!

    Dosage Calc Help!

    So, I'm using this interactive program for my Dosage Course. I'm starting to wonder if there are errors in the program, however. I'll cut to the chase.. "A physician prescribes 0.4mcg of a medication that is available as 500mg/2mL. What's the amount ...

    Dosage Calc Help!

    Wait, they require you to use Dimensional Analysis but.. they taught you, right?! Are they just testing you expecting you to guess? If they are that's messed up. But either way teaching you before testing you, I'd go on YouTube and look at some lesso...
  25. Everything will be taught to you in the class! It's not like taking a hard test, where you're teaching yourself while you study. Does that make sense? You'll learn things chapter by chapter, and you can always ask your teacher for help!
