  1. How far is your commute to clinicals?

    10 miles & 15 minutes away, pop is between 300,000- 400,000. I would be appalled if my commute was over 30 minutes, and would rethink the school. Yech. Never want to live in a big
  2. Nursing, Hurricanes, and Floods.

    This is an interesting thread. Current events, history, you name it. Most importantly, it's Cardiac Dork's thread and terrible experience; he doesn't have to mention the whole world. Very few of us...
  3. HIPAA/confidentiality during an Outbreak

    I misread the question and voted no. I meant yes, tell the patient. But I'm still in nursing school, too...
  4. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    I skipped to the end without reading through everything -- but I bought most of my nursing books off Craigslist from nursing students that just had graduated. It was like robbery, these ladies were...
  5. Student in nursing program on medication

    Sorry to divert your question, but did you get your school's approval yet? My nursing school doesn't allow controlled substance in students' systems during clincals. Maybe you'd be OK if you get a...
  6. HESI vs. TEAS

    Hey, that looks pretty great to me! Good
  7. HESI vs. TEAS

    Well, Saturday is here so I wonder if this is worth much for you. & I only have anecdotal information, making it of even less value. However, in my area, all the colleges that have BSN programs...
  8. OK, so right now I have an 86% in foundations and an 87% in assessment, but my clinical class and patho are kicking my rear. I can't imagine two years of this. I miss my husband, my cat, my sleep, and...
  9. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    Everyone has been really helpful! Thank you! I'm staying put in the program until the end of the semester and I definitely won't switch to the ADN program. I talked to every one of my teachers and...
  10. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    Sure. Of course. I want to learn the content in my classes, not just be smacked with information that I need more time work with. I've heard the analogy that learning in nursing school is like trying...
  11. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    One more teenie-weenie bit of loser whining -- the patho & pharma classes that are in my program are both higher level classes now than they would be back at the good old community college. This...
  12. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    Poop. Thanks guys. I needed a reality check, I
  13. SUMMARY SO YOU CAN SKIP THE READING: Severe, recent Chantix side effects have made me lose my ability to be happy and motivated. I'm irrationally fearful all the time. I'm just ranting, I don't need...
  14. Orientation day + first weeks+ smoking cessation meltdown

    I. Love. This. Site. Thank you
  15. Orientation day + first weeks+ smoking cessation meltdown

    Thanks! Iwill do what you say and use it as a learning experience. Prior to this, I felt that I knew enough about depression (and, therefor, somehow, all mental health issues) from my own past...
  16. Orientation day + first weeks+ smoking cessation meltdown

    Argh. I can't edit for typos. Dang. Sorry
  17. Dosage calculation Help!

    Thank you KatieMI for working these out. I'm also in nursing school & have been going through my dosage calculation textbook and practicing. My book has me studying formulas, but Katie's logical...
  18. Anyone Else Having Nursing School Orientation This Week?

    Jumping in a bit late. I had orientation on Friday & classes start Tuesday. In November, we were told to study a dosage calculation book front-to-back and know it before we start the program....
  19. Criminal Background and Becoming a Nurse

    Yeah, this is a question that you need real answers to. Just guessing it could seriously harm you. I recommend that you don't pay the school a penny until you resolve your issue with the
  20. I applied to 3. 1 rejected me (ADN) and 2 selected me (ADN, BSN). Rejection was due to incomplete prereqs, btw! I wonder if these answers would be more helpful if more details were included, such as:...
  21. Help!!!I don't know what to do next

    I'm mainly jumping in to say I'm sorry to OP. I know lots of people with heavy student loans. At least you're not alone, I guess? I've seen a post on here from a guy with a bachelor's degree in one...
  22. Professor forgot to grade 8 assignments!

    That's great news! Thanks for keeping this
  23. Spring 2017 Chat

    So many people taking both Micro and A&P in the same semester! Good for you
  24. Did I get in based on a quota?

    I think I get why you're asking. Knowing the answer helps paint a picture about the culture/values/priorities of the college. I'm not sure how to find out, beyond looking in your student handbook- but...
  25. Professor forgot to grade 8 assignments!

    You've received some good advice. First, I don't understand why you're willing to wait on a teacher who has already failed to help you. Second, what if this "someone in admissions" is wrong? You...
