4. What's wrong with me?

   GourmandG replied to New Horizon's topic in General Students

   It's frustrating when you know the material and put in the time but it isn't reflected on your scores. I was in your same situation hence my extremely long reply! But if I can do it, so can you! Study...

5. Study Groups or Study Alone ???

   GourmandG replied to Paola2319's topic in General Students

   Op, I used to study alone as well but found that for nursing school, it was best to keep an open mind and get in with a study group sooner than later. You don't always have to meet with them and you...

6. Friend asked to cheat off me from exam?

   GourmandG replied to Dlansey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Op, I'm proud of you for saying "no". It's difficult to say "no" to people especially when you consider someone a friend but you did the right thing as this "friend" was using you and taking advantage...

7. I'm not sure if nursing is for me and I am freaking out.

   GourmandG replied to Brewskii13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

8. Need advice on how to approach my pre-reqs

   GourmandG replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

9. I think I might be losing my mind

   GourmandG replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   I have been in your shoes! What I discovered was that my previous study methods just weren't working anymore so I changed them. Before nursing school, I studied by myself but decided to get a study...

10. Unsure about fit for program.

    GourmandG replied to alistevens's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear that your family and friends aren't being very supportive. These are the people you expect and trust to have your back. Shame on them. Tell them firmly "Let's agree to disagree" and...

11. Any tips on admission

    GourmandG replied to codebrown_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! First of all, I am a bit confused as to you being a terrible test taker because your grades do not reflect that at all! And aren't your exams standardized meaning your entire class is given the...

12. Do I have a chance?

    GourmandG replied to Embrisi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! I love your enthusiasm and am so excited for you! Doesn't it seem premature to worry about not getting in when you haven't even applied? And what do you mean you won't know what to do if you...

13. I need help for my mom ex Nurse

    GourmandG replied to sttony's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the time for mom to be prideful. Have a heart to heart talk and obtain all of her current financials (pension, 401k, Roth IRA, social security, checking, savings statements etc). This will...

14. Cashing out 401k a good idea?

    GourmandG replied to marie813's topic in General Students

    Don't tap into your 401K! Yes, you are young but you are already ahead of many others by contributing toward your retirement at an early age. Life happens and there will always be a reason to take...

15. Should I wait another year??

    GourmandG replied to taylorr13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
