  1. Today I was told I failed clinical. Most aweful day of my life

    I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Is there any way to petition this issue, or have you talked to the dean of your department to exhaust all options? What exactly did she fail you for? Surely an instructor can't fail you because of a perso...
  2. Exit exam is OVER!!!!

    Congratulations To Both Of You!!! Whoo Hoo!!!
  3. For those taking an "Exit Exam" before you graduate...

    I know right, such a vast amount of material how could anyone really know what to study. I honestly feel like reviewing by answering a whole different set of questions everyday made a difference, because it just helped me get used to paying attentio...
  4. For those taking an "Exit Exam" before you graduate...

    Yes! I exhausted so many codes from previous semesters in using the online unproctored tests. I felt like it gave me good practice, but it wasn't enough. I had to use other question banks because I feared there were going to be a lot of med-calc an...
  5. I just passed on the first try, and I was very excited because it is one more thing that I don't have to deal with right before graduation. However, the part that upset me was the fact that a lot of my classmates didn't pass on the first try and it ...
  6. Med Surg, Help desperately needed!!!!

    Geez. It's time to get serious...like cut off all social ties, take a leave of absence from work, lock yourself in a room with ear plugs, turn off the tv, log off the internet, and kick your family out of the house kind-of-serious. I was wondering ...
  7. Med Surg Help Please!!!

    I agree...Saunders has helped me on so many of my med-surg exams. Also, your issued textbook might have a free website that has links to practice questions related to the renal and biliary stuff. If you have to go back to basics and review the anat...
  8. Books to start reading...suggestions??

    The diagnostics/lab book will become a great reference for you when you have to start recognizing the normal and critical values. If you're already doing the drug calculation practice questions, you are going to thank yourself later on! So it looks...
  9. Sooo excited!

    Congratulations I hope everything goes well!!!
  10. start psych semester tomorrow

    I remember my classmates and I were practically "thrown" into the Psych clinical portion without having more than 2 theory classes to prepare us for what we were going to see. To be honest, it was quite literally crazy. The hospital where I did my r...
  11. It is Summer.....

    Just think if you get in gear now and start studying (even studying ahead) you will not have to worry so much when test time comes and you face the possiblilty of having to write papers. I think even the most ambitious student runs into moments whe...
  12. Can't Concentrate

    ME TOO!!! Man, I hope senior year just blows by.
  13. How far would/do you commute to school?

    The milage for my commute doesn't really bug me because it's less than 30 minutes to get to school going against traffic, but I have to go over the Golden Gate Bridge to get to school so it's $5 a day and the Bay Area cost of gas to get there. So up...
  14. What's YOUR crappy summer job?

    Working as a CNA during nights at a unit in a hospital where all the RNs and MDs are totally great and I actually feel APPRECIATED, however the part that sucks is that the chick who works opposite from me has this whole seniority ego trip and gives m...
  15. What kind of Nurse do you want to be?

    CRNA was something I was thinking about as well. Right now I'm on a surgical unit and I really like it, but I guess that's why I'm so excited about finishing school because once we're nurses we have so many opportunities to try a little of everythin...
