  1. Study Books help, advise, suggestions? second semester

    I've heard good things about the "Incredibly Easy" series - they have an NCLEX study and an NCLEX Q&A and several of my friends have the Q&A. Have you looked at the CD for Saunders? It's great too!
  2. A family matter... any advice?

    Hi everyone, There is a situation I feel I need to do something about - I don't feel right just sitting back and doing nothing. The situation is in regards to my significant other's new step-father. He has "Agent Orange" cancer in several locations ...
  3. kckcc any positive feedback???

    I am by no means an expert... but I have heard very negative things about it. I know of a young woman who began in the program and left it - and is now trying to get in elsewhere - because she felt the school was of poor quality. I do believe that an...
  4. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

    100% test grades, final included as any other test. Everything else is pass/fail. I actually like it - you either know the skill or you don't. And if you can't do it without contaminating or some other mistake - well then, you nee more practice!
  5. Do you have to be really good in science to go into nursing??

    My gut reaction is to say "No, you don't have to be GREAT at science." Or "REALLY GOOD." However, you DO have to be motivated and work hard to understand the science, despite that. I am NOT a science person, but I got 3 As and a B in my science cl...
  6. Education advice needed

    First of all. You can do it. Yes, there will be insane moments/weeks/months. But you won't go insane (permanently anyway:) ) While on one hand it would be nice to do the LPN route first - I will say at my school, that one year of LPN is considere...
  7. Uniform Guidlines where you work

    Maybe I'm just being... ignorant... but at the hospital I work at you can wear any type of underwear you desire - so long as you're not showing them (and/or your butt crack) off. Not that the hospital would ever pull down my pants and check (or that...
  8. Anyone with Anxiety issues

    Hello, As a nursing student you know there are all sorts of reasons for anxiety... and this is probably a bit isolated, but I experienced anxiety enough that it interfered with my life. And then I limited myself to ONE cup of coffee a day (and had ca...
  9. Anyone know when JCCC will send letters for Fall '07 ADN???

    Hey Lauren - Fact of the matter is that some people are 4.0 and 30s on their ACTs. Some are 3.0 and in the low 20s for ACT score. I personally had a decent ACT score but a "not great" science score - but got in regardless. JCCC gets all their apps in...
  10. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    We wear our school color - it's a dark red that most companies call "wine". Wear it top and bottom with our school's name and "Nursing Student" in a gold color on the left breast. Just regular scrubs. So glad we're not wearing white! I'd have to b...
  11. JCCC/KU/Anywhere else Admissions

    Hi Lauren, Do you have all your prereqs taken care of? KU requires all of them, and JCCC prefers most of them, as well as CNA - but don't worry, you can take a CNA course in as little as 2 weeks (but it's intense and 8 hours a day I think!). Both KU...
  12. Hi everyone! I was driving home from clinicals today with my clinical group and someone mentioned car accidents and how a nurse should respond - then another person replied that if you see an accident(or whatever other disaster) and don't stop to hel...
  13. Brown Mackie?

    And by the way - Brown Mackie will quote some great pass rate to you. The problem is, clinicals are "competitive" to get into. Less than half the class ever gets to go to clinicals, and thus take the NCLEX. And that's not even considering the peop...
  14. Summer between 1st & 2nd year Nursing school

    Hi everyone, I am very interested in camp nursing. I thought I read somewhere that some camps will allow you to come in and work if you're about to start your second year of nursing school. I have noticed a few places that want a nurse aide in addi...
  15. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    I think some people have already given great advice for HOW to tell her... my 2 cents is: I PRAY that someone would tell ME if I were having that problem. Keep that in mind!
