   trustbirth posted a topic in General Students

   I am going to try to make this as short and un-complicated as I can so that hopefully everyone can understand the questions I am asking. I am in my second semester of an ADN program and will Graduate next May (2010). My plan is to take a semester off...

2. HESI Score

   trustbirth posted a topic in General Students

   I am finishing my first semester of school, and just took the HESI exam. My score was a 969. Is this a good score? I know that the average and the score you "need" is an 850, but I was just wondering where exactly my score places me...if that makes a...

3. I passed DRUG CALC TEST Whoo !

   trustbirth replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   You are lucky that you can drop classes! If we get less than a 75% in a class, we are dismissed from the program. And then we can re-apply with everyone else, for the next August starting class.

4. I passed DRUG CALC TEST Whoo !

   trustbirth replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   Dosage Calculation Tests are the worst. CONGRATS ON PASSING! We have to take one every semester. 20 questions each. For the first three semesters we must make at least a 90% to pass it, and then the last two semesters we must make 100%. We get 4 chan...

   We started clinicals two days ago. I am in an Associate Degree Program and will graduate May 2010 Our routine has been the same from day one and will continue to be that way. We got to our unit and find out who our patient is for the day. Clinical st...

   We have lost one student so far, and I started in August. We were told that the class that is graduating May 2009 lost 5 students overall. There are 80 students in each graduating class.

8. Think I am letting my nerves get the best of me

   trustbirth replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

   I can definitely identify with anxiety about all of this. This is my first semester as well. I have always been the type of person who can know everything then walk into the test and forget it all..walk out and know it. That is just me...and it driv...

10. First day of nursing school

    trustbirth replied to lvnhopeful's topic in General Students

    The skills lab at our school allows us to do all of those skills on our computerized dummies. So luckily we dont have to do a single thing on each other. I would go crazy if we did.

11. We're not picking our internship positions yet but....

    trustbirth replied to hopebewild's topic in General Students

    We dont do anything with a nurse preceptor. Sorry about that. :)

12. All this reading!

    trustbirth replied to love2barn's topic in General Students

    I have been in nursing school since August. When I started out I was reading everything aside. Now I am not really reading at all and I am still making A's and high B's. I have found that application is a lot more efficient than just reading. I hope ...

13. First day of nursing school

    trustbirth replied to lvnhopeful's topic in General Students

    I am really suprised to hear that some schools are having students do procedures on each other. Our school refused to do that because of liability issues and such. That just seems so strange to me. I am in my first semester and I have three classes. ...

    trustbirth replied to hopebewild's topic in General Students

    We dont pick internship positions like you do. The ER might be fun though. The way our school works is that we go to a different unit every semester. Med-surg, ER, psychiatric, OB, Pediatrics...

15. How are your clinicals graded?

    trustbirth replied to gabriella86's topic in General Students

    We do have paperwork...our own version of a patient chart..that we turn in at the end of the day but it is not graded. We go in, and have one patient. Each of us have one. That is what we do during the day...take care of our patient. That is why the ...
