  1. How old were you when you began nursing school?

    I started school when I was 18 and will be 22 when I graduate.
  2. Classes

    It really depends on your study habits so you really have to tailor it to yourself. One big mistake I've seen a lot of my friends make is just try and memorize everything. This may work short term but it will be much harder to retain and it will be a...
  3. Luckily, I chose to live in themed housing my freshman year, so everybody on my floor was some sort of health major. It was one of the best decisions I made! We all became really good friends so we understand when each other had loads of work to do a...
  4. study abroad

    No, as far as I know it's only our students who can go. Sorry! I would definitely check with your school though...I know we're not the only ones who do something like that!
  5. Nursing student taking drugs

    Ok we're getting off topic...back to the original question!
  6. Nursing student taking drugs

    All I'm saying is that the poster said it wasn't a CRIME to which you told him to cite his source because you haven't heard of any states where it's not a crime. He didn't say it wasn't ILLEGAL. I
  7. Nursing student taking drugs

    First of all, not in Alaska. Secondly, just because you pay a fine doesn't make it a CRIME. If I counted correctly there are 11 states where it is decriminalized to an extent. It's basically like getting a parking violation.
  8. Nursing student taking drugs

    Not true, I go to school in MA and we decriminalized marijuana possession for up to one ounce. You just pay $100, they take it, and you can be on your way with no further repercussions.
  9. study abroad

    Do you mean other students as in ones who don't go to the school?
  10. study abroad

    I know at my school it's basically impossible to do a traditional study abroad for nursing, unless you did it very early on with all pre-reqs. I've never heard of anybody doing this though. For people who can't fit in a whole study abroad, we have sh...
  11. cheating classmate

    I have a similar situation in my nursing classes. There is one girl who cheats on EVERYTHING. It's so frustrating because we would all be stressing over an A&P or Microbio exam we just took and she would just admit it. "I didn't think it was bad ...
  12. Class sizes

    There are about 90 nursing students in my year and we all have Pathophysiology, Pharmocology, and Nursing Interventions together. Our skills lab for Interventions is 20 people and out Developmental Psychology class is around 120 people. They sound bi...
  13. Loan Forgiveness Programs

    Hey everybody! I'm still in nursing school but I'm thinking ahead! I was wondering what everybody's experiences were with loan forgiveness programs, either through the government or with hospitals you accepted jobs at after graduation. Are they reall...
  14. Course Load

    You should be fine I think. It will be hard but you won't drive yourself crazy over it. I took A&P, Microbiology, Sociology, and Psychology in one semester and did pretty well (As and A-s and a B in Micro). Granted, Pharmocology is harder than S...
