  1. Suggested Nursing exam help Books

    I second the Success series. I've got Fundamentals and Med-Surg Success and love both. What I like most is that they have rationales listed for the right and wrong answers, and I highly recommend reading them all. Even if you get the question righ...
  2. Dosage Calculation Policies

    We have 3 tries to pass with a 90% (used to be 95%) or better each semester. First semester we're given the chapters to study throughout the semester on our own, and we take the test right before finals. Every semester after that, we take it before...
  3. Darn you, allnurses...Darn you all to heck!

    My first M/S exam is tomorrow, and I should be studying that right now. But hey, I have to take a break, right?!
  4. Whoa, go me

    Wow. Since when is doing well irritating? It drives me nuts that when everyone is asking how others did the students who did well are said to be boasting, but the ones who made B's or C's are simply sharing. Way to go, OP! That's awesome and you s...
  5. Lone star nursing program length

    It's five semesters total. While it's definitely a full-time work load, you are not technically a full-time student. I'm in second semester right now and we're only taking five hours. Last semester was six. Next, I believe is six or nine dependin...
  6. I've never liked studying in a group, until now. I'm lucky to have found several other students in my class that have the same mentality towards school that I do. We all read and prepare on our own ahead of time, then get together and answer/discus...
  7. Fundamental's Success Book Question

    I highly recommend that book! I credit that book with much of my success in my first semester, and I know that many of my classmates also really liked it. I read some of the test taking tips, but for the most part just used the practice questions. ...
  8. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    Thanks for the info! With practicums and the lab not being open much, I completely forgot that I had posted again, so I'm glad I checked back. I was kind of thinking it would be along those lines, but it always helps to hear it from those who've 'b...
  9. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    Apparently they heard enough from your class that they decided to give us the assignments at orientation. So we owe you guys a HUGE thank you for speaking up! As far as the tests go, they're NCLEX style. However, according to the blueprints, they'r...
  10. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    Precisely why I hated the one online class I've taken so far. I have a need to fully understand things, a natural curiosity, I suppose. My micro instructor went so far as to say that I'm too hard on myself and don't need to strive for perfection wh...
  11. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    Yes, we are in agreement. I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought that you were saying that we would never be given unsafe orders by doctors. Please forgive my confusion. As far as it being the best choice, I also agree, not ou...
  12. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    My pharmacology instructor specifically told us that we are the last check before the med is given to the patient, and doctors do, in fact, occasionally make mistakes when writing prescriptions, and those mistakes occasionally make it past the pharma...
  13. I second allrecipes & recipezaar. I also really like kraftfoods.com, too...lots of very easy one pot/pan meals.
  14. I'm starting in the fall, too, and I'm doing the same thing. Anything to make my life easier when it gets crazy! A few of the things that I'm doing-- -Rearrange our guest room into a study room for me. I'm hoping to get a study group going and if ...
  15. Student Loan Confusion... Help?

    Yep, that's how mine does it too. I understand your frustration, and have asked the FA people at my CC that very same question numerous times. I've always had to use funds better left untouched (i.e. savings, credit card) and replenish them when my...
