    Feel like giving up hope on Nursing....

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

    SE Wisconsin has a great environment for nursing. Not really a waiting list for the ADN programs, and hospitals hire RNs with ADN as well. Plenty of jobs and hospitals

    AA to BSN

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

    Just reread that... You need to be an RN already for an RN to BSN program, meaning you need an associate's degree in nursing. There's no way you can learn and be tested on skills online which is why...

    Another Installment in Decisions of a Pre-Nursing Student or Now WTH Do I Do?

    Rionoir replied to AmyJo2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you take a pathophysiology course or something? Did you talk about what the MA class would cover vs nursing pharm? At my school, people who fail pharm are required to take pathophysiology to...

    A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    Rionoir replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just know you're going to use that material every day of nursing school and if you don't have a great grasp on it you will struggle. I don't even know how they fit it in 4 weeks. I took a summer...

    Ethical Dilemma Help Please!!!

    Rionoir replied to Nursingstudent173's topic in General Students

    It seems like the first question should be "Is it your responsibility as the nurse to make sure this non-compliant patient has home health care?" Halfway through first semester and I'm already this...

    Minimum ICU experience

    Rionoir replied to tofu81's topic in General Students

    I've seen interviews with CRNA students and they said the nurses who have been working a long time have certain advantages, but the students who have been in school more recently have their own...

    New student checking in

    Rionoir replied to RNClassof2020's topic in General Students

    Learn the material and stop worrying about the NCLEX. You're getting way the hell ahead of yourself

    CNA for RN

    Rionoir replied to klance's topic in General Students

    In Wisconsin my school required us to take a CNA course so they don't need to teach us how to wipe butts in skills, but we never had to get our certification at all... Just pass the class. Can't...

    What is your week like in nursing school?

    Rionoir replied to LorvenaD's topic in General Students

    Ever since the 8 weeks of skills ended it's been pretty easy. If I have a test the next week I'll study a couple hours a day but otherwise... I gotta say first semester has been a lot easier than...

    My teacher said I should take the MCAT. What???

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

    Taking the MCAT is such a small fraction of what med school actually entails. I think anyone dedicated enough could get INTO med school but that isn't really the issue - it's actually going through...

    Not sure about nursing. Advice please

    Rionoir replied to harvestmoon's topic in General Students

    There's a lot of people that get their nursing degree part time. At my school part time students take theory classes one semester and skills/clinicals second

    Grades? C?

    Rionoir replied to Ehuggins97's topic in General Students

    Why didn't you just drop the class when you realized you couldn't figure it out and take it later in

    Cna certication before nursing school

    Rionoir replied to Edcarlosliu's topic in General Students

    A CNA course was required before starting nursing classes at my school - it was a HUGE help. I would think in your position it would be a great benefit as

    How far away is your school?

    Rionoir replied to klp2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    45 minutes to school, 1 hour to my clinical site - I usually find some interesting lecture on whatever topic I'm studying on youtube and listen to that on the way

    Failed last semester and it hurts

    Rionoir replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

    Are you able to at least sit for your LPN? I'm a little unclear what level you are, but I know where I am we can test for our LPN after level 2. If you got that then you'd only need to retake a year...

    Helpful Items to Purchase for Nursing School

    Rionoir replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    We were required to buy this (along with an ipad) for our program: Nursing Central™ from Unbound Medicine I use it constantly at clinicals. It has a nursing diagnosis handbook, as well as davis's...

    Pharmacology

    Rionoir replied to FutureRNOnALongPath's topic in General Students

    Half a class failing a pharm test sounds pretty normal to me. lol Stop looking for excuses and recognize that you're going to need to find more effective study habits. Looking for someone to blame...

    Awesome study tool!

    Rionoir posted a topic in General Students

    I'm sure some of you have found this already, but I feel like I got lucky and ran into it myself. This is for those of you that are very visual and love mnemonics - it's called Picmonic. I found it...

    Seems like nursing school isn't for people with other responsibilities!

    Rionoir replied to marij's topic in General Students

    You're going to college for a degree, obviously they aren't going to plan around your schedule. Most people I know that are working a lot and going to nursing school are working in healthcare and are...

    My Nursing school only has a 55% completion rate for the program

    Rionoir replied to Slim_Medic's topic in General Students

    My ADN program is one of the most respected in my area. I don't know the exact completion rate, but we must lose close to half of the students in level one alone. That just means it's a rigorous...

    Choice of 2 different courses

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

    The one in Spain sounds like it's less picky and I'm assuming would cost you a lot more - so I don't see why you would be considering that unless you can't get into one in Ireland or something? A lot...
