   sproeber89 replied to healthcarestudent's topic in NCLEX

   Our instructor for a class forced us to make a study plan, twice. I graduate later this week and now I have a definite idea of how to study made into a calendar so i can check things off. I am going through all of LaCharity even if I've gone through...

2. need some help with studying for NCLEX-RN please.....

   sproeber89 replied to amortm's topic in NCLEX

   If I were you I would also look pretty in depth into a review book, mostly since it's been 2 years since you have been in nursing school. I am just graduating this week and I know how much I have forgotten since first semester....I can't imagine how...

3. how to be efficient

   sproeber89 replied to 567 SeaOtter's topic in CNA/MA

   I used to work at a subacute PM shift where we had 18 patients and I was the only CNA on PM's. The nurses were supposed to help but that was usually a joke! I usually put every single one of them to bed by myself. We had a lot of patients there who ...

4. Need help! I hate nursing school- what did I do?!

   sproeber89 replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

   I hated, loathed clinicals for a while. I kept second guessing if it was what I was meant to do, should I go back to school. However, Once I entered third semester where we were given all the skills to be a nurse I finally figured out it was what I'm...

5. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

   sproeber89 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   I have a very solid study group, we get together the day of tests to go over what we will be tested on and just review. We make up lots of silly things that help us remember what we need to know. We also help each other with large projects, we pretty...

6. What to study during the summer?

   sproeber89 replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

   This summer I'm spending it reading two of the "Made Incredibly Easy" books, our teacher recommended them for fall. I graduate in December so I also went through an NCLEX strategies book and typed up some notes on it, so that way when I graduate I ca...

7. How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

   sproeber89 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

   I never gave up my sleep, I sleep an average of 7-8 hours every night. now it depends more on when I have early morning clinicals. I just made my 5 minute commute to clinicals to a 40 minute one! Those nights I'll be skimping on sleep or staying at ...

8. What percentages should I be getting on the LaCharity book?

   sproeber89 replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX

   Are you guys counting percentages by finishing each chapter and then calculating it.

9. Nursing School Must Haves??

   sproeber89 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

   It's a combo between good nursing friends to make you laugh till you cry after you failed a test, my amazing supportive boyfriend who takes care of me financially so I can pursue my dreams and a dog who will always cuddle up with me when I need some ...

10. Any suggestions for NCLEX flashcards?

    sproeber89 replied to pezfor2's topic in NCLEX

    I have the Saunder's Flashcards. I have a feeling that it will be a bit of repeating from the books but it's something that I can use when on break at work, waiting for things, etc. It came with a protective plastic sleeve type thing that makes it ea...

11. Ideas on studying for Nclex, esp when to start studying?

    sproeber89 replied to lovenursing1218's topic in General Students

    My plan is to go over information in Saunders by taking the end of chapter quizzes rather than reading all the information. If I get a 75% or better then I can continue to the next chapter, if not then I'll review the chapter. Once I finish that I'm...

12. evening clinicals

    sproeber89 replied to Mtru11's topic in General Students

    My latest clinical was an evening one and it was by far my favorite one. You aren't fighting for time with your patient between MD/therapies/appointments and you aren't thrown into the day right away. We usually got there around 2 pm and had until 3...

14. Navy or Army nursing

    sproeber89 replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government

    I'm not into nursing with either the Army or Navy. However, as the gf of a U.S. Soldier I can let you know that as a woman you won't be in the front lines, most women in the Army that I know of (this is just me personally) have jobs in offices etc. ...

    sproeber89 replied to mrosev14's topic in General Students

    That's a really good idea! I know my boyfriend has been there for me through it all...we were just friends my first semester and he was in Iraq...then we started dating and he was in Germany stationed. So if we can get through that, nursing school, a...
