    What was your hardest prerequisite course?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so glad my professor lets us bring

    Wow, I really have to take this class?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh I wasn't implying that speech class isn't helpful. It just feel really redundant at this point in my life. I've been in leadership roles and I've used those skills quite successfully. I wish it was...

    Should nursing programs be extended?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    In the program that I'm hoping to get into, you start clinicals the first semester and your last semester is almost entirely clinicals. I guess that's not the norm? And most hospitals around here have...

    Need advice

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to MCNERRA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm dying to know what sort of event costs $2k to attend. I'd save and document EVERYTHING and talk to someone about a protective order against her. I'm glad you're involving your workplace, too....

    Two sciences same semester?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to 123abc123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I plan on taking A&P II, Organic Chem and Micro next semester. Everyone keeps telling me that it'll be too hard, but hard is completely relative. I want to get into nursing school in a particular...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    I'm taking it in my final semester - was it difficult? Chemistry can be a challenge. I had such a terrible teacher that he was fired. We had been his first and only class. I watched a lot of YouTube...

    Wow, I really have to take this class?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not so far, though I am sort of giving my speech class the stink eye as I'm 37 and know how to communicate quite well. I do have to take the "core" classes required by my state. I've chosen...

    Graduating w/ only 1 pair of scrubs

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital that I hope to work for not only has a specific color for scrubs, but they also have a specific brand they require. I also have to buy the scrubs for my school, also specific...

    Critical Thinking

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actively working on teaching critical thinking to my girls right now. I tell them to take the information that they already know, look at what's happening around them, then apply that knowledge to...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    How is everyone holding up? I'm doing fairly well. I've got A's in all my classes except Speech (oddly enough) where I have a B - but the quizzes have nothing to do with the chapter outlines, which...

    What's Rude?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I have no nursing related ones, but I have plenty of human ones. I really hate that people talk on their phones in public. I know this is a commonly accepted thing now, but I...

    What was your hardest prerequisite course?

    Thanks you guys! It was "just" a spelling test, and I think I did well. Big lab test next week. I'm drowning in tissues and cells and body

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    There's actually a name for it! Confirmation bias. OP: The problem with saying things like you've said is that you're generalizing and generalizing can get a pretty negative response. Because I...

    My two cents.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    Saying something is confusing to read does not make one a bully. It's telling the poster why they likely aren't getting the amount of responses they'd like, or encouraging them to make their post...

    What Kind of Threads Do You ENJOY Reading?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Case studies and actual nursing stories (especially the gross ones) are my favorites, as a

    What is nursing school like?

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

    You should stop listening to what other people say. You'll be much happier entering into the experience with an open mind and no

    I rather take Anatomy, Algebra, and Micro then Chem

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a question in here? I did take Chemistry in the Spring. It was challenging, but doable. It was my first B

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    PVT threads. And I'm not even in nursing school
  25. ItsThatJenGirl

    Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    I was pretty harsh, I admit. I shouldn't have posted at all in this thread. I have very little patience with people that ask for advice and then dismiss all of it. It's a huge pet peeve of
