    I think I’m going to fail Skills help!!!

    Rionoir replied to Bleblenurs18's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the link I wish I had found that sooner. It’s so hard to find NCLEX questions grouped as specifically as they are in this

    HELP I don’t know what I’m doing

    Rionoir replied to ddsnnurse98's topic in General Students

    Did you meet with your instructor to go over the test

    Preceptor is SO BAD!

    Rionoir replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    Did you even talk to your preceptor about this to see if maybe you are misunderstanding something, like maybe you should observe a bit in the ICU before you get a patient? And it’s probably a good...

    How to stand out as a new grad nurse

    Rionoir replied to zinaptl's topic in General Students

    I’d add a written Summary of every clinical experience you’ve had. Also do some continuing education courses online they’re pretty quick and inexpensive and good to put on there as well. Any...

    In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    Rionoir replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    Don’t even take your phone out at clinical and certainly don’t take any pictures while you’re at your clinical. It’s mostly to do with covering their butt so as not to tick off the hospital...

    Future Nurse

    Rionoir replied to amandaT's topic in General Students

    All our papers are submitted online because it runs a plagiarism check automatically that way. I’m guessing most schools are the same way. If you need to print, you can probably save to a cloud...

    Unfair Tests?

    Rionoir replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    Better get used to it

    Discussing salary with co workers

    Rionoir replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    What if you are the one that finds out you’re making more? What do you think will happen next time you go in to negotiate a raise after you’ve caused everyone else to go ask for more pay because...

    Discussing salary with co workers

    Rionoir replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    So why are you still working there?

    Discussing salary with co workers

    Rionoir replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    payscale.com is a better way to find out what people are making in your area or even your specific hospital without causing rifts by asking specific people what they are

    Night shifters- try a weighted blanket

    Rionoir replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    The weighted blanket I have has a removable cover so you can wash it. I think the washing machine would explode if I put the whole thing in

    Nursing shortage is BS

    Rionoir replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    All the hospitals near me including the level 1 trauma center hire new grads (actually they hire last semester nursing students tbh) - so no med/surg required. They hire straight into most...

    What are resources you used to be quicker at nursing math?

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

    Learn dimensional analysis and you can throw all the equations away forever. It’s intimidating for some people at first, but IMO it’s way easier than memorizing 25 different

    Leaving Nursing School?

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

    I am in the final semester of an ADN program in the midwest and lots of us in my cohort are already working at hospitals as externs with RN jobs lined up for graduation. We have to continue on for...

    Fourth year applying to nursing school

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

    I'd consider CC programs and getting an ADN before your prereqs expire. I also second looking at the Midwest if you don't get in

    Help with Microbiology?!?

    Rionoir replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the best flashcard program out there - way better than Quizlet. Also super good if you have cumulative finals, as it will used spaced repetition with graduating intervals to keep material...

    Feeling discouraged

    Rionoir replied to guest1129128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's entirely possibly to deal with negative things that happen without dropping the class over and over. Not sure what kind of replies you were hoping to get, but it isn't going to get any easier...
  18. Rionoir

    Half the class expelled... help.

    Rionoir replied to LoveGuineaPigs's topic in General Students

    Seems like they were just trying to get rid of students so they didn't have to give refunds when they lost their accreditation. Also, the emails you sent should be saved in your sent mail on whatever...

    recording devices for lectures

    Rionoir replied to brownbook's topic in General Students

    What kind of phone do you have? Most people record on their phone or tablet these

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rionoir replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    If you can go to one of these schools for the same price as a state school then there isn't even a discussion to be had here - so I think the implication in the OP is pretty clear that we aren't...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rionoir replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    In keeping with the question presented in the OP - I would say even in the hypothetical situation you proposed, that falls far short of justifying $100K+ in tuition and other fees from any common...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rionoir replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    No one knows where you went to nursing school, and no one is going to ask except out of curiosity. People WILL ask (and care) where a doctor went to medical

    can I realistically become a nurse?

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

    It just gets more stressful with every semester, so I'd really recommend getting your mental health in check before you keep wasting money and dropping out of classes. When you say "doc", is your GP...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rionoir replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    You’re going to make the same money as everyone else. You might be able to pay off your loans if you get a good job, but you’re still spending WAY more money than necessary and it isn’t going...
