    Having so much fun!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    Sorry if I'm making it confusing, at my school we're called 5th semester students because we've completed four semesters of prerequisites. I'm in the first semester of my nursing program. Volunteered...

    Career change, nursing school and motherhood

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to simmone's topic in General Students

    I just started nursing school, and I'm a mom of two (we also homeschool, but are making the transition to public school in the fall). It's doable - but it is hard sometimes, because you miss them and...

    Having to teach yourself?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    In my experience, that's pretty normal. ATI will tell us one thing, our lab instructor another, and our lecture professor another. It can be frustrating. I'd focus on the objectives at the back of...

    How do you eyeball respiratory rate effectively?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Accordiantoyou's topic in General Students

    I put one hand on their back, while taking the pulse. So you can't really tell that I'm counting their respiration

    How to confront a disrespectful professor

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you had a lot going on! I'm sure it was a stressful week. That said, your teacher was under no obligation to extend your deadline. If you did sit down with her, what would your end...

    ATI test!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Macey Chi's topic in General Students

    I mean, ATI is a company that makes tests, so it could literally be anything. I'd contact the school to get specific

    Should i take these classes during summer or is it too much?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lovenurses2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with this. Normally I'd say it was doable, but since you're having issues now, it's better not to overload

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    No problem! I was full of questions before I was accepted, too. The first semester is your most expensive. Tuition with fees and all is around $5k. You have to buy the computer (about $2k), Shadow...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    The program is great so far. I feel really supported by the faculty and students. There are lots of things in place to help you navigate everything. They have free counseling services, time management...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, it's a requirement - you use them ALL the time though. We got our financial aid disbursements a day or two before we had to pay for them, so you can make sure that you accept enough of the...

    Advice on quitting

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to joytrann15's topic in General Nursing

    A 10 day orientation sounds terrifying. I'd try to line something else up before quitting the job you have, so there's no gap in your resume. Good

    I'm kind of afraid I'm going to lose a new friend?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's bad that you posted your grade. It's a good one, you should be proud of it. I wouldn't apologize for it. I also don't think you should be worried about losing a "friend". If...

    DUI and Entering Nursing School

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I apologize for making you feel dismissed regarding your story. I know it matters and it's important to you. It just won't be to the nursing school/Board of Nursing. I think it would serve you well to...
