1. PALS and NALS

   my4helpers replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

   NRP is what i mean. The reason I question this is because I will be graduating in May and around here we are allowed to start applying for jobs and they will hold them until we pass the boards. Being that I am hoping to get into the NICU I am sure th...

2. PALS and NALS

   my4helpers posted a topic in General Students

   I am trying to find some info on getting these two certifications. Are you able to get them while in nursing school, or do you have to sit for the boards first?

3. Finals Week Need Study Tips

   my4helpers posted a topic in Student Assist

   Ok I need some advise as I go through this every single semester!! How do you go about studying for finals when there is so much to read. Do you start from the beginning and read each power point, do you re-read each chapter, or do you do a million N...

4. Assess and Monitor.....

   my4helpers replied to my4helpers's topic in Student Assist

   This is actually not a homework question; I would never ask one, unless I got my homework back and it was graded :-) This was on a test last week and I got it wrong so I wanted to see what other people's rationals were. To me these have very differ...

5. Assess and Monitor.....

   my4helpers posted a topic in Student Assist

   So I am a little confused. Do you think assess and monitor has the same meaning or does these two terms have different meanings. Please share your rationale.

   my4helpers posted a topic in General Students

   Does anyone here get any type of special accommodations when it comes to taking their nursing test whether it's being able to be in a quiet room or even getting more time to take the test?

7. Honest opinion when is it enough

   my4helpers replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

   My instructor seems to think that I don't know the why behind each answer and my friend says I read way too much into the question. I am not sure where she gets her questions from but it's so frustrating when I get the practice questions right at hom...

8. Honest opinion when is it enough

   my4helpers replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

   Like I said I am great in the clinical setting so I am assuming I am more of a hands on person. However, I am not sure how to assess what goes wrong. For example, I had a friend quiz me for almost 2 hours before the final and got just about every que...

11. General Chemistry Lab

    my4helpers posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Can anyone tell me what to expect in chemistry lab? I did horrible in chemistry and barely passed even though I had tutors. I just could not get the hang of it. I am transferring schools and luckily my chemistry class will transfer, but this school...

    my4helpers posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am applying to a nursing program for the spring of 2014 and I have to take the compass/kaplan test by the end of August. I am not too worried about the compass test because I have transfer credits to be transferred. However, we are testing on just ...

13. Need Advice on NS

    my4helpers replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I think that I am letting fear get in my way. The way that I am looking at it is: I have already spent 4 years in school, I have accumulated school debt, this school is much more expensive being that it's private and last but not least, if I failed...
