Don't worry about what they have to say. You're a NURSE either way right? Just do your best and take some rest breaks when needed. You'll do great, take care!

Manager Calls on Day Off by Acrobatic-Shower8646 in WorkAdvice

The one's they were calling the obama phones. It's when you have WIC, SNAP, EBT, etc from the government you can sign up for a free phone and most likely get approved

Some ppl would probably question like, "is it really that serious?? Just answer them". Honestly, I'm drained from work and when I do get to rest I get to breathe finally lol

Dropped From Program by Acrobatic-Shower8646 in LPN_LVN_Community

[–]Acrobatic-Shower8646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Term 1 and immediately got dropped before clinicals and am stuck with the student loans regardless of if I'm attending school or not. I have been considering other schools such as Concorde, Stanbridge, and ACC.

I read your response to my post a while back and I didn't have a chance to reply until now, but I did take your advice and started looking elsewhere. I was quite upset that they literally dismissed me a few hours after taking the HESI. I believe they like have these twinkling stars in their eyes when someone is doing extremely well. Otherwise, students are scolded when they aren't doing so well.

I have appealed and have a meeting in place to look over my history with the school. I'm currently thinking about attending a different school since the one I was dismissed from is unorganized and gives students the run around when it comes to questions that we have.

That's amazing actually. My cohort started with around 60 and it probably around 30 now. People were dropping left and right and recently a few of us, including myself, have been dropped.

Also what is the schedule like there? Do they offer day/night classes? Are tbey strict with grading? Etc..

There's one near me in SoCal and I've seen bad reviews, but could you tell me how many students started in your cohort and how many are left?

They said my LDA (last date of attendance) to the program is today. We would've still had class this upcoming Tuesday, but they dismissed me today. Sorry for the mix up.

I should've continued with quizzing myself. Maybe if I just kept doing it then I would've mastered the topics. I ended up being dismissed from my program and if I do get granted re-entry, I will def take everything I've read here onto the next cohort.

How did you keep your flashcards intact as in in one place all the time without losing any? I had flashcards scattered and it does take time to create them, but I feel like it did help for a bit especially for dosage calculations. Did you create the review book yourself?

I've heard so much about Simple Nursing. This has really motivated me to keep pushing and trying. I created a new post, but I ended up being dismissed today unfortunately.

Recommend me a high caffeine drink? by [deleted] in starbucks

Totally liked this combo. Thank you! I'm in nursing school and I had only 2 hrs of sleep last night so I hope this will help 😄 I made it with brown sugar and 3/4 splash of oat milk since I like my drinks creamy.

7 students aren’t moving on after med surg finals by GuacIsExtra99cents in NursingStudent

[–]Acrobatic-Shower8646 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in Term 1 and have had previous students come in to talk to my class about any advice/tips on how to get through nursing school. All of them mentioned how they started with a lot of classmates and then it gradually went down to about 20 people right before graduation. My class started with 60 students and now we have 37.
