You and I could be the same person. I graduated in December and am taking it march 8. I am taking Kaplan and all it is doing is freaking me out. I have been getting in the high 50s on the practice too. I do a little better in acutal kaplan class....
Luv4nurising, thank you so much! that is exactly what I needed to hear. And I agree with everything you said. You described my first semester. I saw the same exact things that you did. But I have been very stressed and not feeling like I really ...
Hey guys, I'm in nursing II at VCC. Let me just say WOW! I thought the first semester was hard. But they pack a lot more reading and work on us this semester. you have to start memorizing everything about all the drugs while learning all the norm...
In my opinion the nursing program is very different than the academic pre requisites it takes to get in to it. The pre-reqs are very complicated, but mostly memorization. You can do it easily if you put in the time to memorize the information. The...
Hi, I'm another Valencia nursing I student this semester. Just thought I would add my two cents. The program is definately very stressful. There are days that I love it and others that I'm completely frustrated. I think the professors are really ...
I'm so glad to read this. I came to this site specifically for some motivation. I'm only in my first semester, and really frustrated. I have always been a good student, but am now struggling with a borderline B/C. I don't know if it is the progra...
I just started my first semester of nursing school. I am doing awesome on the book work and test (100% on everything so far). But I feel like a complete idiot when doing simple things like blood pressure and other vitals. How long does it take bef...

I love this thread. It is so nice to hear from people going through the same thing as I am. I can relate to the financial problems. There is no assistance for people in our situation. And most of us are now in bigger financial obligations than we...
I just went to buy my books for my first semester of nursing school.. Wow, sticker shock!! There are 17 books that equal over $1000. I didn't budget that, as I am paying for everything on my own. I was just wondering if any students that have com...

you are not alone!! I think there are many of us doing the same thing. I got my BA in communications in 2000. Tried the career out and hated it. Decided to go to nursing school, did all the pre-reqs and was put on the waiting list for nursing sch...

I have taken classes online before. Usually I don't learn as much from them. There is just something about not actually being in the room surrounded by other students questions and hands on experience. A&P is the most informative and useful cl...
Thank you to all. This has been very confusing process, but I'm working through it. I found out from calling the FAFSA phone number that I'm a sophmore! How funny, because I have over 200 credit hours. They base it on where you are in current deg...

Thank you so much for the info. I am in a dilema because nursing is my second career. I already have a bachelors degree so I can't get government aide. Problem is I can't work while I'm in nursing school, so how does my bachelors degree help me? ...

Hi, I have a question. Does this thread mean you already have a bachelors degree in something else. Because that is my situation. I'm having trouble finding financial aide and filling out papers because of this. Do any of you have any suggestions...
