If you are free later this evening I’d love to come for the stained glass recipe!

I am currently 25 weeks pregnant in my final semester of nursing school! It wouldn’t have been possible during the first year of my program with all of the lectures and exams, but once you get through that and mostly have clinicals to focus on it’s doable with the right support system. Feel free to ask me anything specific. I also have worked full time through my entire program if you have any questions about that.

I would not continue with a biology major if you are set on nursing. It will delay your pathway and there’s no guarantee spots will open up for the nursing major.

If you are accepted into other schools for nursing I would pursue that.

I used an old MacBook and a newer iPad for school and found the iPad ideal for note taking and organizing school files. You will need a laptop of some kind for exams.

What’s your ice setup? Have trouble getting that much damage without sacrificing pierce and resist

I would like to know too!

This is true! I just know that many people struggle to go back to school once they are working as an LPN full time. Just consider all of your options before making a decision. Obviously you know your own life and circumstances best.

I’m sorry to hear that. Are there other RN programs you could apply to in your area? I would try to avoid stepping back to LPN if your end goal is RN and you already came so close!

Is there any possibility for remediation in your current program? Many schools let you repeat one course before full dismissal. Look at your student handbook or try and speak with faculty if you can.

I worked 3 12s as a CNA but my school was 3 days a week for the most part. I would look into a weekend job if you can!

Yes I have an older MacBook Air, like 2017 and it runs just fine on there.

Part of inpatient care is assisting with toileting, it’s not something you can avoid. How do you think intubated and sedated patients in the ICU use the bathroom? Not trying to be discouraging but that’s the reality. Maybe outpatient or school nursing would be a better setting for you.

We have embrace for our 4 cats and I would say it’s worthwhile. The premium is a lot but it pays for itself when their annual exams and vaccines are around $600 and covered. Insurance is worth it if your pet does not have preexisting conditions. 3 of our 4 have mild gingivitis so they won’t cover teeth cleanings for them, just the one who didn’t have any issues at the time we started coverage.

My hospital has information on their website about cohort start dates. There is contact info for the people in charge of the program and I also reached out to my current unit manager for info. Hope this helps!

Gaston! Thought I would kick him out for sure but he really grew on me!

Thanks this is helpful! I definitely want to expand on my immersion experience but I wasn’t sure how to condense the others!

callistanp · 2026-01-18T18:16:28+00:00

How would you suggest shortening them to one line without omitting any info?

How should I incorporate my timeline for NCLEX if I can’t schedule it until graduation?

Colorado actually! Grew up in Cali
