1. Nursing School Blues

   kristi1111 replied to PSUAlum2103's topic in General Students

   I would definitely suggest that you study NCLEX type questions for your exams. I was having some difficulty with my nursing exams this past semester and was getting really frustrated as to why I wasn't getting as good of grades as I usually do on my...

2. Pathophysiology

   kristi1111 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi, I am a nursing student about three weeks into my first semester of nursing school. I am wondering about other student's experiences while taking Pathophysiolgy as I have heard such negative mixed things about the class. I have heard some people...

3. Have anxiety issues over making friends

   kristi1111 replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

   This is something that I am nervous about also because I have taken most of my prerequisites at another University so have a feeling I am going to be in classes with a lot of people whom I have never met but may already know each other since a lot of...

4. What date do you start Nursing school?

   kristi1111 replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

   I start on the 30th of August. However, I already have access to the syllabus for a couple of classes. I will probably start reading towards the end of this week and this weekend to get a jump start. Good luck to everyone :).

5. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

   kristi1111 replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

   I'll let you know when I start on the 30th. Just got done printing out two of my syllabi (sp?) which have been e-mailed to me by my instructors and making sure I have the right books (so far it seems that I do except that according to my pharmacolog...

6. what the heck do you wear to a Nursing School interview?

   kristi1111 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Students

   I wore a blue button down long sleeved shirt (my interview was in January of this year) and a dark brown pair of dress pants, and dress shoes. Basically wore what I would have worn to a job interview. Must have been okay to wear that because I star...

7. Are grades in your school shared?

   kristi1111 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

   Most of the time the only thing that has been shared in the classes I have been in is how the class did as a whole (by the professor). However, of course there are people who ask and it kind of depends on how they act as to whether I tell them my sp...

8. Study groups... To be or not to be?

   kristi1111 replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Students

   I find a mixture of independent studying along with study groups works best for me. I usually try to make sure that I have done quite a bit of independent study before I get together with people in a group though because I use the group mainly for c...

9. I survived A&P I&II!!

   kristi1111 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congratulations. Me too (just took my final last evening). Should find out tomorrow (Thurs) if I am going to get an A or a B (depends on my grade on the final although it did not seem too bad). I hope those who have to take it in the future don't ...

10. How are you celebrating the end of Spring finals?

    kristi1111 replied to letsseehere's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Took my last final last evening. Will start an accelerated nursing program on May 10th so am spending these precious five days of not having to cram information into my head or yank information out of my head doing things that are mindless such as s...

11. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

    kristi1111 replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing

12. A&P 1 and Microbiology

    kristi1111 replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, to answer your question, I am currently at the end of my 5th week of taking A&P I and Microbiology together. I just finished an 8 day stretch where I had an A&P lab quiz, then a Microbiology test, then an A&P test and another A&...

13. So I got my rejection letter today...

    kristi1111 replied to carla1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm so sorry. If I read correctly, you said that if you have your LPN that you have automatic acceptance into that program? If that is the case, do you have the option of trying to get your LPN first? Maybe you could keep applying to RN programs b...

14. when working FT- how many credit hours should I take?

    kristi1111 replied to turtlesrus's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I too work full-time and am blessed to have a supportive husband (although he is working and going through an apprenticeship program so that probably helps) We have to split the household obligations due to the fact we are both working and going to ...

    kristi1111 replied to kv07's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Good luck, I am taking it August 21st. I too am studying from the Kaplan book, the TEAS study guide as well as a study guide called Nursing School Enrance Exams. Studying for it seems kinda overwhelming. Let me know how you do.
