    I should continue with the nursing program or change my degree?

    Rionoir replied to Joanna369's topic in General Students

    I mean, if you hate nursing, don't be a nurse. There are other tons of other things to do in the medical field if you are interested in medicine but not in actually taking care of people.

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Rionoir replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    The way I understand it, the hospital kicked you out. You need a certain number of clinical hours by law to pass, so I don’t see how the outcome could’ve been any better than being allowed to...

    ABSN VS ADN

    Rionoir replied to amas's topic in General Students

    It depends where you live I think, but where I am (Wisconsin) ADN vs BSN has zero difference in terms of getting hired. I just spoke with a recruiter from a hospital the other day and asked her about...

    How do you study? Effective methods and suggestions!

    Rionoir replied to ajem27's topic in General Students

    Active recall is still the best way to learn. I use a spaced-repetition notecard app called Anki and it has made my studying so much smoother. I recommend looking up some youtube videos on how a lot...

    Nursing student needing advice

    Rionoir replied to beardeddragon123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I feel like more important than studying NCLEX questions is studying how to read and answer NCLEX question. We just had a test in CHA and there were multiple questions where you didn't even need to...

    Nursing school has pushed me to the edge. Anyone else?

    Rionoir replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I think if you talk about anxiety and mental health issues with your classmates you'll find 90% of you are on a benzo, an antidepressant, or some combination of the two.

    Is an ABSN program worth the debt?

    Failed for Clinical-but no proof

    Rionoir replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    I've had clinicals where you could fail just for bringing your phone onto the floor at all. Hospitals do not want nursing students to have their phones for patient privacy reasons and schools are...

    Summer Nursing Classes

    Rionoir replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    First and third semester theory courses are offered at my school, not sure how that helps you though. Just ask the school.

    Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

    Rionoir replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

    It should be common sense that if you know you are going to be late, and your clinical starts in 20 minutes, calling is the ONLY option. You want to be a nurse, that has very adult responsibilities...

    Earning your LPN license

    Rionoir replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Wisconsin is like this too. I'm able to sit for my LPN now that I finished second level, but when I talk to nurses who went to the state university they have no idea what I'm talking

    NCLEX to job, how long?

    Rionoir replied to JyRn18's topic in General Students

    I know of people with another semester to go who already have places they were at for a clinical holding jobs for them. Your school should be helping you with this type of stuff

    eBook vs Physical Book

    Rionoir replied to Liz48's topic in General Students

    I have all ebooks I love them they're very easy to search for certain topics. The only time I have an issue is when a teacher says read specific pages instead of entire chapters because a lot of them...

    How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Rionoir replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is not super expensive - private schools are stupidly expensive. 40K?! You could have moved just about anywhere in the country, bought a house, and got an ADN and still not spent that...
