   Very frustrated at this point and I'm trying to find anyone else in a similar situation. I applied for Texas A&M Corpus FNP program for 2018 in April. It's been almost 2 months and my status still says "pending admission decision". I've read anot...

   Congrats on graduating! We'll be taking NCLEX the same day! Our school required us to pass all of our ati exams. For pharm, I made a chart that they recommended in one of the videos when you go and remediate. It had different drug classifications, si...

   ashulee89 replied to cupcake2013's topic in General Students

   I can't say I understand what you're going through completely, but I can relate to most. You are overwhelmed. Try your best to look for an outlet. When I feel overwhelmed I cry my eyes out and then go to the gym. Find someone who can sit down with yo...

   ashulee89 replied to ashulee89's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you for the reply. After taking a well needed break to go work out and clear my head, I started to try and think in simpler terms. I came up with 25mg divided by 2.5mg/hr which equals 10 hours/ 250 mL. 250mL divided by 10 equals 25mL/hr. I hope...

   ashulee89 replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

   I was going to post on here not to underestimate an online test. I'm an e-learning nursing student so all of my exams except the final are online and it is very very hard even with a book. BUT, we're talking about non-nursing students and i totally g...

   I have the Cardiology III. Love it. Get alot of compliments on it as well. Bought it on Medisave and they have free engraving as well. They give you "points" for purchasing certain items. So when my little sister made it into the program, I bought he...

11. Discouraged about clinicals

    ashulee89 replied to I<3PedsRN's topic in General Students

    I've been there. I think its normal to feel down when everyone else has moved on, but i think the best thing to do is focus on yourself. Take it one day at a time. Focus on your 5 rights and the reason as to why you almost made the med error to preve...

12. Truly Stressed, and Depressed

    Its unfortunate that you failed, but fundamentals is NOT a walk in the park. I'm not sure about the rules of your particular program, but I just wanted to post to tell you to hang in there. In my opinion, fundamentals laid out the foundation and buil...

    ashulee89 replied to mestrada's topic in Student Assist

    I know how you feel. My first test for the semester I was trying to read entire chapters. It is impossible to do that when working 6 days a week along with other responsibilities. I think its impossible for almost anyone for that matter haha. I took ...

14. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    ashulee89 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I usually make Bs and have been known to see the occasional C. I work hard and study hard. This in no way makes me stupid, but everyone is entitled to their opinions. As others have said it just means that I need to reevaluate my studying/test taking...
