1. What is the best way to prepare for Nursing School?

   SweetNSassyRN2B replied to laurenv0217's topic in General Students

   I agree with the posters who say learn how to utilize time management. As a Mom in nursing school, you won't have the luxury of studying whenever you feel like it and for hours at a time. Try to figure out what your learning style is (auditory, vis...

2. A Nursing Student Vents

   SweetNSassyRN2B replied to CareFully's topic in General Students

   For craps sake... it's a VENT post! Some posters need to get off their high horses and think before posting. OP, I agree with many of your points.

3. Long commute, need audio cd advise please

   SweetNSassyRN2B replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

   If your instructor doesn't permit you to record lectures, or in my case, your instructor is so monotone you would fall asleep listening to them while driving (lol), instead I record myself reading over my notes from class. That way I can put emphasi...

6. Christ or Good Sam?

   SweetNSassyRN2B replied to healthlink's topic in Ohio

   Starmickey03, As far as I know, as a current student at Christ, they no longer offer the tuition benefit award. I guess whatever money was funding that, has run out. They do however, have financial aid now, which they didn't have before. So there...

   SweetNSassyRN2B replied to SoulFood's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have an allheart brand stethoscope and I can hear great with it!! Almost as well as with my Littman Classic SE. It's nice to have that kind of quality with a cheaper price tag in case your stethoscope "walks away" on the floor

    That's funny that his son lives down the street from you! Yeah I had to take a CPR class. It has to be for the Healthcare Provider. There are two options for you, American Red Cross (1 year certification), and American Heart Association (2 year ce...

    SweetNSassyRN2B replied to Jennifer7076's topic in Ohio

    Jennifer, I would contact the college and see if they have changed the book issue. Maybe they had us buy all of ours up front because they were contracted with a different bookstore than they are now. I looked up my tuition and for only nursing cla...

    I'm not completely trying to steer you away from taking A&P + nursing classes... I'm just sharing what I've heard from many students and faculty. If you choose to do the 2 year tract and take A&P you will have a lot of work ahead of you. Th...
