    NLN 2017 HELP!! so nervous

    Wiggly Litchi replied to taylor96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm scheduled to take the test on 8/8 and I'm not panicking. The content should be about the same as before, though if they're cutting down the time, then it might be safe to assume that they're...

    Back up stethoscope?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    Do as the PP said - keep your steth on you at ALL times. I have recurring ear infections so I outright tell folks that i won't loan mine out to them because of that; it's amazing how quickly they...

    Is nursing for me?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Leaann924's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before you commit time, money, and sanity to this endeavor, please see if you can get a shadowing position. The money in nursing can be awesome depending on where you specialize, but you're going to...

    Would you let your lab partners copy from you?

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

    I don't think you're being dramatic - I think you've got every right to be annoyed. Copying and laziness seems to be the norm for some folks; I haven't taken a class yet where someone hasn't asked to...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Pacific Nurse's topic in General Students

    I find that the less makeup i wear, the longer it stays on during the crazy shifts. My skin is really sensitive so at the moment I rock a bit of tarte BB cream tinted moisturizer (the clay really...

    Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    I've used amazon rentals and it's AWESOME! The books arrive quickly - save your packaging, and all you have to do when you want to return them is box them up in that same packaging (yay recycling!)...

    Adn or bsn ? Need help choosing!!

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

    It depends on a few factors - can you afford to go for a BSN or would you need to take out a loan? What's the job market like for new grads in your area - are the hospitals more inclined to hire RNs...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    As a pierced/tattooed person, I'll chime in too! I've worked at a few different kinds of facilities, including a super-swanky retirement village for incredibly rich folk (I miss that place!) - so the...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to conjer's topic in General Students

    Wiggly Litchi replied to HFavored1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, so i just had a look, and I'm 99% sure that it's DIET1310 - Principles of Nutrition you need; it should transfer to UofM, but double check with them that this is course you need (I know it...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I know it's tough, but have faith that the doctor will understand why and not take it personally - they treat people from all walks of life, and understand when people have certain needs that need to...

    You mentioned CNA, LVN, and RN, but each of these 3 jobs vary greatly in scope of practice. CNA is entry level -Courses vary from 4 week crash courses to around 4 months to complete. You're not going...

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

    Not all college classes are going to give you a review sheet or guide you on how to coast through it; it's up to you to learn to do that. Make your own review sheet - most professors don't want you to...

    NLN Entrance Exam

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Nu2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought the NLN book with the CD ROM and it's been a worthy investment. A lot of my classmates had really great results with it (they scored well over the 100 required by my community college), and...
