    Southwest Tn Community College Nursing 2019

    Hey there! At the macon bookstore they're selling the ATI TEAS book instead of the old red NLN one - don't panic though, it's all the same content really. This is the ISBN for the book I used: ISBN-10: 0763762717
  2. Good afternoon everyone! I'm planning ahead since I will be (fingers crossed) starting my nursing program in the fall, and I have been looking into apps to use alongside my study material. Has anyone used these two apps, and if so, which do...

    Leaving Nursing Program

    So some words of advice/encouragement are needed. My fiance and I broke up over the holidays and I'm forced to leave my nursing program because I can't rely on him for financial help anymore. I will be moving to another state and I'm hoping that I'll...

    Leaving Nursing Program

    Wow that's overly harsh from someone who knows nothing of the arrangement that my fiance and I had. Like many, I had stopped working when I entered nursing school. I devoted myself wholly to it and my GPA reflects the effort I put in. When my fiance ...

    Leaving Nursing Program

    Thanks ThatChickOmi! I am sure everything will be okay. I might not be able to get back into school this year, but I know it'll definitely happen in the future ? I've come too far to give up!

    Leaving Nursing Program

    Hi there! I took the NLN @ Southwest Tennessee Community College here in Memphis, TN. I'm sorry to hear about you losing your job, that's really sad news. :( I hope that you will be ok!

    Leaving Nursing Program

    I'm ok if the nursing classes don't transfer just as long as I can get into another program

    Earning your LPN license

    Hi everyone, I figured I'd post in the LPN board since i have a question for you all :) I had heard that there were a few ways to get your LPN license, one of which was to complete the first year in a nursing program and then apply to the BON to take...

    Job vs grades while in school more important?

    Depends on what kind of student you are - I know people that work part time (around 20hrs a week) and still make awesome grades. I work 2 days a week and I'm still making A's, but it's tough - I don't have a social life at all, and what little time I...

    Stress Test (aka Burning Man)

    Stress can affect us in many ways, but this may go to show how serious/prevalent mental health issues are and how we need good psych nurses out there - I'd be absolutely lost without the wonderful psych nurse that takes care of me and I'm so glad to ...

    First clinical nightmare

    I love your assessment post!! That's incredibly helpful!

    I was not close to anyone during nursing school.

    I'm a current student and I haven't really made any friends since I've been here. Sure, I'm cordial to folks, but I haven't really met anyone I'd sit with at lunch etc. but I've always been a bit of a loner to be honest. I don't regret it - I like be...
  17. I am with everyone else here who's said that the heart and vessels is an interesting unit - this one is where I got most of my ah-ha! moments when I took pathophysiology because it really started tying everything together. As the previous poster said...

    OB class makes me depressed...

    Except, it's not an odd statement at all. You have the luxury of being able to carry a child if you wish (assuming you have no fertility issues). Your post(s) make me incredibly sad, and that's speaking as a woman who will never carry a child. Try t...

    Inspiration. . .

    Take what you read with a grain of salt - there's wonderful jobs for new grads out there in HCA. A very good friend of mine got hired to Vanderbilt right out of school. If you think like you'd be a good fit for the field, then go for it!

    How goes the fall semester for everyone?

    Does your college offer tutoring at all? It might help you bring that English grade up a bit more. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get accepted!

    Your words are against you

    If I'm at work, everyone gets the vanilla "Everything's ok!" response, and especially so to patients. Coworkers, your cohort, clinical instructors, and patients don't need to know your business. Leave your baggage at the door - once you enter school/...

    Is LVN not enough for you!

    Enablement Overload

    You're not the only abuse survivor in this thread. Difference is, I'm not getting butthurt because I trust that school nurses are astute enough to notice the many signs of abuse. Maybe you should put a little trust in them too.

    OB class makes me depressed...

    I'm not infertile per-se, but in an asexual relationship with a guy that doesn't want children. I've made peace with the fact that I'll never carry children and it was hard at first, but I'm okay with it now. I do get maternal pangs sometimes (not i...
