    BSN salary?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    You'd probably get a decent outlook using google with your city, shift, setting,

    Got Accepted for ADN but is it worth it?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to HazelGray88's topic in General Students

    It looks like Carrington College is a for-profit school - I'd avoid that route at all costs. I'd be looking at community colleges, getting your ADN and then doing a bridge program

    Nursing school makes you crazy but this is too far!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to mtngirl07's topic in General Students

    That's not true. If this was a one off thing, what good would reporting her do? What sort of help would she benefit from? If this was a behavior pattern, I'd agree - but reporting for an isolated...

    Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Let this be a lesson to always back up your stuff - in the cloud, on a flashdrive, google drive, etc. It's not her fault you didn't have a backup. That's on you. I'd probably ask her if she would help...

    Desperately need help studying efficiently

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

    Of all the things you study, how much of it is actually on the test? Is there a discernible pattern to the information you're presented and the information you're tested

    Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    This is exactly what I've done, too. Excellent

    How to survive Pre-nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking 14 credit hours (4 classes, two are sciences) and while I don't work full time, I do have two kids that I homeschool. I have A's in all my classes and no science background. It's entirely...

    Study Practices in Nursing School

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

    My studying adapts to the class I'm taking and the expectations of the teacher. I use my book a bit in A&P II, and not at all in Micro. My teachers give great outlines that are exactly what's on...

    Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    My school does, and so do certain clinical sites. My recommendation is that you stop. This is your

    Nursing school makes you crazy but this is too far!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to mtngirl07's topic in General Students

    My advice is to stay out of it. But I wouldn't follow my own advice because I want to fix every-freaking-one. So, I'd tell her she was being exceedingly careless and that she should know better, and...

    Pre-Nursing student taking Sociology online?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it online last year. I loved that class and had a great professor. My final grade was a 97. I love online classes, but they suit my learning style. I like learning on my own, at my own pace....

    Can I be a nurse with a mental illness?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Edt997's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in Texas, you have to disclose this information to the BON, along with a letter from your provider stating that you're capable of working as a nurse, mentally. So yeah, it can be done, but it's...

    Putting off A&P1 due to professor options?

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

    I'd consider the content of the bad reviews - if they don't give much detail, I'd dismiss them. If there are valid, detailed concerns, I'd pay attention to them. I ignored the reviews for my...

    How many prerequisites did you take for A&P1&2?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Basic reading and math for my school. I don't see how people can finish in a year - it's taken me 2.5

    Starting Phlebotomy school before nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Zachtaylor1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll have a gap between finishing up my prereq's and starting nursing school, so I'm doing a 10 week EMT B program, with the hopes I can work as a tech in the summer (around here you need to be an EMT...

    A&P I and II over summer?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to bri.vee's topic in General Students

    I took Nutrition, A&P I, and Stats at the same time - it wasn't bad. I'm currently taking A&P II and Micro and it's not too bad. I've never taken a Bio class. I found that Nutrition and...

    Nursing not for me

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gabsx123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know anything about pharmacy school, but you could look into being a pharmacy tech first, see how you like it. There's also radiography, medical laboratory, sonography, etc. Plenty of...

    Parents want me to be a doctor, not a nurse....

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

    This really is the best advice. I know what it's like to want to please your parents, but ultimately this is the rest of your life, not

    Nursing not for me

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gabsx123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What interests you about medicine? It's going to be hard to give you suggestions without more information. Have you taken any pre-nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to klovesedamame's topic in General Students

    I'm not quite in nursing school yet, but I have many of the same fears. I'm going to go ahead with my degree, because I've been working on it for a long time now. But, I have a back up plan (degree)...

    I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably refuse to work with her (them) and look for another job. While documenting
