Hi everyone!

Okay so, I quit smoking September 14 after being a chronic smoker for years. I’ve recently started getting faint negative lines on my at home drug tests specifically for thc obviously lol.

I’m starting nursing school in January and my 10 panel drug screen and background check are due December 1. Even though I have time, I really want to get everything done ASAP lol.

Has anyone passed a lab drug test with a line this faint, or should I wait longer? Any advice or comments would be appreciated :)

And no I don’t plan on smoking again it was a college thing lol.

So my school has used the line "everyone fails the cardiac exam" (at this school that is definitely true and ive spoken to many people who have attended previously (over the course of years since a lot of the students that went to my college end up where I am currently working I have a good network of people that have done this college's program anywhere from 1-15 years ago).

We just had our med surg cardiac exam and everyone bombed it (class average was 70). Now I don't think the whole everyone fails thing is entirely true. Is cardiac difficult, absolutely. Is this exam maybe lower than normal across the board, probably. I find it hard to believe that in every nursing program students are getting anywhere from 30-70 on the cardiac exam though and I believe the professor and the specific questions chosen are the problem.

For anyone who is at the point where they've taken the cardiac exam or are already done with the program, can you shed any light on this? My professor even said the exam scores were "lower than expected" but that we were "just nervous this time around" (they always find a way to turn it on us without taking any responsibility at all and it's infuriating). Am I wrong for feeling like the problem is this professor and that this exam is bullshit and has been for many years?

Any advice or thoughts are appreciated, thank you

I'm a veteran returning to school, but does it really matter where I get my bsn as long as it is accredited?

I've been accepted into Charleston southern pre nursing and I've applied to UNC charlotte, Clemson, and a handful of other schools in sc/nc.

so does it really matter at the end of the day which one I go too. all of them are accredited both nationally and regionally

Did anyone attend or is attending the BSN nursing program at GSC ? If so what is your review ? Also what did yall use to study and pass the teas with a 85 and higher ?? What was your gpa ?

Currently use nursehub

I’m very conflicted and don’t know which program to do. I’m an LPN trying to bridge to RN, I have majority of my prereqs already done just need a&p2 & microbio. I’m wondering if I should transfer schools (currently at a CC) due to not being able to do the program once accepted because I won’t have adequate childcare. I thought about doing an online program but I keep seeing things about it not being accepted in every state when looking for a job. For those that have done the online bridge programs did you have any trouble finding jobs in other states ?

I feel so dumb, I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m in my first semester of nursing school only 9 weeks in and I’ve already failed 3 exams. Passing score is 76% and I also need a flat 100% on med math. I got a 92%. The rest of my class is so smart, they know everything and seem to be passing every exam. I feel like the odd one out, with imposter syndrome. Sometimes I wonder how I even got in the program. I study the same way everyone else is. I do great in sim labs, check offs and all of my assignments! But when the exams come around I choke!! I can only fail 1 more and I have 4 more exams before the semester ends…
