   I blew at work a 0.08. Got terminated. Only 3 months experience. Is IPN even worth it?

   Hi guys, So I currently work fulltime and go to school fulltime for my ADN. Its evening/weekend with class MW 5-8 and clinical Saturday all day. I did this last semester and was successful but my job is getting more intense and school will be harder....

3. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

   Analgesic replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Students

   Adding more to this thread. I am a gay male but am one of those people who doesn't exemplify the flamboyant gay stereotype. My RN school friends were questioning it but it wasn't a dead giveaway. This is true in my everyday life. Regardless, this ha...

   Analgesic replied to corinnepaige91's topic in Florida

   New but not new to teaching. Just ended up being independent study. We were all learning from the book. Very fair grader so we all passed. Could have been much worse. I know mornings had it really much worse.

   Idk I think the morning/evening have it different. Our days are weekend. Usually Saturday 6:30-4:30. But like I said, one of the groups got moved to Sunday this semester. The time you get out really depends on your clinical instructor. Expect a 10 ho...

   Don't buy anything until you're admitted. We all got our scrubs from the same place (allabourscrubs) before we started.

   Our class has not had the best relationship with the administration so I'm a little bias but it's been disorganized and a mess for us. But we still have everyone pushing through. Mornings and afternoons have had it better.

   1. You have no say in your clinical site. They told us we would be in same place all throughout the program but that is not the case. My clinical group stayed the same but we are in Florida Hospital Tampa now. We were in Carrollwood last semester. An...

   I thought orientation was very lax. I don't remember too much about it. They talk about the program, how to study, resources if you are struggling, info from current students. We got to meet our professor. I think we all took our drug test as well. L...

    For sure. Our class was in a daze because most of us were walking a line we felt no one had crossed recently. It's doable. You will be fine. The only advice I have is get a NCLEX FUNDAMENTALS book. And see how the questions are asked. The RNs at my h...

    Thank you! Its not entirely stress free as we are all pushing through the online pharmacology class. But it's definitely a nice "break". Never feel nervous to ask the upper level students Questions. We were in your shoes. And you will be in ours. It'...

    Love your questions. Hopefully more will see the answers and gain perspective. 4. We had 1 professor for all lecture exams. You will have another professor (or the same professor for clinicals). For clinical, your first four weeks are in the simulat...

    Question 1: I can't give an answer to this because it was not available for students starting spring. I heard about it and it seems like a great option. However, the word is HCC is opening a BSN program so this might be going out the door (again spec...
