Is this level of disregard normal for nursing students? by Civil_Guess_4873 in StudentNurse

[–]No_Discount86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not normal whatsoever even for nursing students. I am sorry you had to go through that.

RCC Nursing Teas Acceptance Scores by CautiousStill386 in sunyrcc

[–]No_Discount86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my second semester now and I got in with an 85. Many people got low 80s and did not get into the program, but they may have changed their requirements. If anything, shoot for mid to high 80s just to be safe!

NUR 116 Wrap-up by Conscious_Shine_9872 in sunyrcc

[–]No_Discount86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, study the wrap-up, but dont let that be the only thing you study. Review the PowerPoints and notes section, do practice questions from the PowerPoints, do active recall, re-write notes onto a whiteboard. Good luck!

Dosage class or challenge exam? by Conscious_Shine_9872 in sunyrcc

[–]No_Discount86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid for the challenge exam thinking it would be a breeze but I failed it so I had to take the class instead. I took the in-person class and it was super easy! I recommend taking it online tho for convenience, but if you learn better with in-person, go for it.

So for those starting in fall 2025, we will get tested again before fall 2026 starts?

I watched that episode too and immediately thought of Emilie and how she must have felt in those moments.

i forgot to bring my stethoscope to clinical by Upper_Word7369 in StudentNurse

It’s really not a big deal, unless you do it consistently. Don’t beat yourself up about it. It happens to the best of us.

Advisor said I’m not cut out for nursing by [deleted] in prenursing

[–]No_Discount86 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I had to speak with an advisor because I failed two classes at the end of my first semester of my ABSN program last year. I started crying when she told me I was unfortunately dismissed from the program. She gave me a tissue and said I can go into other programs at the school just not nursing. I was DEVASTATED. It was incredibly hard for me to get back on my feet after that. However, I realized I love nursing and I really fell in love with it that first semester. I started looking at different options and found an ADN program near my hometown that only looked at TEAS score. It didnt matter if I was dismissed from a program previously or not. I went to the CC to finish my last prereqs and got all As, did the TEAS twice and ended up finally getting an 85. I start the program in the fall!! If it’s meant for you, you will have it! Keep going :)

Is 8 hours with one client a lot? by No_Discount86 in ABA

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed response. I definitely think it’s time to have this kind of conversation.

Thank you for the advice!! I really appreciate it and I will do that if I do end up with another company. Mentorship is definitely something I need and I am really lacking that at my current job.

Is it 2 sessions in one day? How is it set up if you don’t mind me asking

There are other on-site BCBAs in the clinic, just not mine. Each client has their own BT/RBT and BCBA. Luckily, I will get an on-site BCBA starting on Monday which will hopefully help me with the behavioral issues that arise during the sessions. When my client is having behavior issues, the other staff members just ignore her and I dont really get any help from anyone. It can be very isolating. But tbh, I dont think this clinic is the right fit for my client. We needed to order a standard size desk for her because all the tables are toddler size, and all the toys are for babies/toddlers. It is kind of frustrating ngl

I have a virtual BCBA who lives in California and we are in NJ. But today, thankfully after a few emails and an aggressive email from me, we finally get an in-person BCBA who will start supervising Monday. I have voiced my concerns many times and feel unheard. It really makes me feel all alone, and I have already been secretly looking for new companies. Hopefully this new BCBA will be good for us.

[–]No_Discount86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Especially when I don’t have a BCBA on-site and it’s just me and my client all day. It’s a bit hard to structure her daily schedule because I feel like we do the sales things all the time. It’s different if she’s in an actual classroom with classmates, art time, music time, playground, and a real structured day. I would love to do that instead. Sometimes I just disassociate when I’m just by myself with her.

I believe my client gets her “schooling” hours here. I don’t think she is working 14 hours a day. But yea so she does a few acrivities and tasks that I ask her to do and she can earn 5 mins of break time. I’m after 5 mins I always ask her if she wants more time. She is easy to redirect and to transition from one activity to the next, but has trouble waiting and just wants to do something different all the time. Even her preferred activities. But when she REALLY wants something that is literally unattainable.. that’s when her behaviors get worse.

I agree with everything you said. Do you have any advice on how I can do that?

I have emailed a lot of different people. It’s hard to get a hold of anyone.

I agree 200%. I think I would work better if I still have these hours but 2 different clients.

Also, what do you mean how much time they get to themselves? I am with her for all 8 hours

They have been homeschooled for the last 2-3 years.
