Something to do while I wait to get into my program

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Published

My start term is Fall of 2010, at the latest, i will most likely start this next summer. I have taken A&P 1 and 2 with the lab classes, microbiology and the lab, pathophysiology 1 and 2, and the CNA course. I also hold a current EMT-B, EMT-I, and CNA license. The reason i give your this list is that course sign ups start in about two weeks and i have no idea what to take for my Fall of 2009. Thankfully my program allows me to take pharm two terms before i start the program and dosage calculation one term before i start the program. My question to you is that is there anything i could take or do in order to prepare myself more. What do you student who are in the program wish they did before you started?

If at all possible i would love some tips and hints to refine my fine and gross focal motor movements that i could practice at home?

Thank you in advance for all of your ideas

The Readiness is All,

Aaron

Specializes in Cardiac Care.

Developmental Psych. aka Lifespan Development! Piaget, Ericksen, Maslow, & Freud.... all play VERY big parts in Nursing, from careplanning up to and including the NCLEX exam!! Learn it and know it and you'll be another step ahead!!:twocents: Heck Abnormal Psych is a great class to take too.... since it sounds like you have all of the sciences down.

Thank you very much to the both of you. I have taken Developmental and Abnormal Psych. I have also worked on a locked pediatric mental health ward for two years as a tech. That link looks wonderful, and will be great for me look over and study. Does anyone know it a company offers a NCLEX exam prep course? I ask because i live in New Mexico and are resources are few and far between. I was thinking of buying the prep course book and reviewing that as i went through my nursing courses.

Gotta love teens and two year olds

Thank you very much,

Fortous
