    Need suggestions - Studying while driving

    TuesdaysChild replied to Rionoir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I buy VangoNotes on Audible that you play just like an audio book. I also record my notes and play them, but I only do them as a high-level summary, say 20 mins for each chapter. That way, I have to...

    Thinking of Switching to Nursing from Finance

    TuesdaysChild replied to Eileenrey's topic in General Students

    It kind of sounds like you're asking if anyone has a crystal ball that can tell you if you will be happier as a nurse or a financial major. Really, who knows? If you have a job on your feet, some...

    quitting school, pls help.

    TuesdaysChild replied to mrsmarah's topic in General Students

    If you are as sure as you seem to be that nursing isn't for you, it's possible that careers that naturally flow from nursing might not suit you either. What is it that drew you to nursing? What is...

    How far out from applying are you?

    TuesdaysChild replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have two more semesters after this one. I am the same in that most of my classes left are the science classes with lab. So far I've done all my classes online, but my plan is to be able to stop...

    Social Class and Nursing

    TuesdaysChild replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    Without an objective measurement, it's not very helpful to discuss how much "brain power" is required for nursing because it's purely subjective, whether it's personal experience or someone's mom who...

    moving?

    TuesdaysChild replied to petitDoc's topic in General Students

    If you've narrowed it down to Texas and diversity is on your list of priorities, you would probably be more interested in Austin than Dallas (I live in Dallas, BTW). It's more of a young liberal city...

    Does UTA accept for profit school credits?

    TuesdaysChild replied to kevonneo's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    My guess is this list is far from being all-inclusive. It's probably just a list of the most common transfer institutions. I'm thinking it's like TSA's pre clearance fast lane at the

    If You Could Only Give ONE Piece of Advice to New RNs

    TuesdaysChild replied to renardeau's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for these tips! The job that I've had for the last ten years is a specialty that is independent and autonomous, so I literally have not dealt with seniority, management, or coworkers for a...

    Ever feel like you are not smart enough to be a nurse.

    TuesdaysChild replied to Kimdesiree1's topic in General Students

    If you don't mind me asking, what is the nature of your learning disability? I understand if you do not wish to share. But I will say that depending on the nature of it, there may be special...

    Making ends meet in nursing scool?

    TuesdaysChild replied to lonelyloner2013's topic in General Students

    Looking back rather than forward will always get you down. A year is a blip on the radar. You don't have as much money as before, but in the end you will have more than before. Always find things...

    Social Class and Nursing

    TuesdaysChild replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    I looked up the categories because blue collar sounds way off (blue is generally manual labor/craftsmen type work), but I can also see the blurred lines regarding white collar as well. Turns out...

    Unfair Shift Rotation

    TuesdaysChild replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    Redoing this whole comment to make a better point: If you have a written agreement as to the conditions of your schedule, hold them to it, bottom line. It doesn't matter what the reasons are for the...

    Online or el centro

    TuesdaysChild replied to J.thweatt's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm doing all my pre-reqs online through DCCCD, although I plan on ultimately applying to UTA for the nursing program. I don't know anything about the ADN at El Centro other than you will have to...

    If You Could Only Give ONE Piece of Advice to New RNs

    TuesdaysChild replied to renardeau's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's good insight. I think upsetting a preceptor sounds like a terrible idea! Personalities can be tricky to navigate sometimes. And I find it doesn't help to just be annoyed by it because that's...

    If You Could Only Give ONE Piece of Advice to New RNs

    TuesdaysChild replied to renardeau's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think this sounds like very good advice! For myself, the only thing I would maybe take issue with is unquestioningly accepting direction that contradicts previous instruction. To me that leaves an...

    Thanks God for healing (and to modern medicine )

    TuesdaysChild replied to Emergent's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have to say, when I sit down and really consider scripture, I'm somewhat envious of the childlike faith of others. I would consider myself to have unshakeable faith, but I often intellectualize it a...

    Just tooting my own horn here 🎉

    TuesdaysChild replied to ksw1978's topic in General Students

    Go for it, Darlin! You assessed a problem with your method, adjusted it, and your hard work paid off! Don't toot your horn, play a whole diddy on it! Congrats on your

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    TuesdaysChild replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I must thank the OP for this post. As a pre-nursing student, like my compatriots and those that have gone before me, I occasionally introspect on whether I can pull off the BSN program. "Am I smart...

    Does UTA accept for profit school credits?

    TuesdaysChild replied to kevonneo's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I don't see Brightwood or Kaplan on their course equivalency chart, so might want to contact admissions if nobody else knows. They do have University of Phoenix listed which is another for profit and...

    PSA for U.S. nursing hopefuls with criminal charges

    TuesdaysChild posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am **not** an attorney, but I did work in criminal court for several years as a court reporter so I'm aware of the existence of this process. If you believe any of this may apply to you and feel...

    Background check pre-BON

    TuesdaysChild replied to audraaj's topic in General Students

    Hey there Others know better than I do about the nursing end, but I did work in criminal court for several years. Criminal cases are public record, so you should be able to Google the district clerk...

    Completing pre-requisites online

    TuesdaysChild replied to Jazzfitness1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One more thought. You can always go to the websites of the nursing schools you plan to apply to and see if there's an equivalency chart you can download that tells you the equivalent course numbers...

    Admissions competition gets us wound up tight!

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

    She probably doesn't fully appreciate how neurotic pre-nursing students are with that constant 10% admissions rate ominously hanging over their heads like Armageddon or something, haha! I'm sure I...

    Admissions competition gets us wound up tight!

    TuesdaysChild posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took my first Stats test this week. I just went online to see my score. The first 20 questions were multiple choice and automatically graded by Pearson (50% of the grade), the last four questions...

    Completing pre-requisites online

    TuesdaysChild replied to Jazzfitness1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I probably should clarify. The nursing schools (at least in my area) will not *accept* credits from science classes with no wet lab rather than what I originally said that the class can only be...
