   Maria3248 posted a topic in General Students

   I am totally lost on what to do. No one in my immediate family ever went to college. They're proud of me, they just aren't understanding the impact of the choices I am about to make might have on my future. 6 months ago I was in a nursing program, di...

   I'm really thankful for all the people who commented and telling me not to give up-I just wanted to say that real quick. I'm a little surprised actually that everyone I have talked to and explained what I'm going through has been incredibly supportiv...

   Maria3248 replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

   No, you're exactly right. These are actually questions I frequently ask myself. I would have an advantage in an LPN program (according to the instructor who advised it) since I have heard most of this material already. After I address the anxiety pro...

   I have repeated this class and my school only allows you to repeat once. The course is split up over seven weeks and are made up of pediatrics and critical care of adults. If you are unsuccessful in one, you have to drop and you miss the other half o...

    Maria3248 replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    The majority of the time I spent studying was going over textbooks chapters, the outline for course content, and powerpoint lectures. I tried flash cards in the beginning, but I felt like that took a really long time and I didn't really use them. I t...

    Maria3248 replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    I did a ton of practice questions, I even bought an NCLEX app that was really helpful. I apply content in clinical all the time and answer questions correctly when asked by the instructor. I studied for hours and hours, and then when they sat that fi...

    I began nursing school fresh out of high school. I believed nursing would allow me to do what I have always wanted, and that was to help as many people as possible. Fast forward three years later, and I have just failed out of a ADN program at a comm...
