Honestly, I cried my way through Stats last summer. Very few other things in life have frustrated me so much as that class...but I don't naturally think in numbers. There is no way I would take Stats with anything else challenging.
There is nothing wrong with going for the ADN if that's what you choose. However, do a little research into the likelihood of going back to school to complete the BSN later since that sounds like your eventual goal. I recently did a paper and read ...
If you're really sure that nursing is what you want to do, stick it out. It's just the first semester and things may change a lot in the near future. If they don't, you might just chalk it up to being smart and not having to make yourself as crazy ...
Tests are essential to success in nursing school -- both written tests (usually NCLEX-style multiple choice format) and skills tests (such as inserting a Foley catheter, giving injections, etc.). There is no way around that. You might find that you...
Okay...after 8 weeks of class, I'm ready to join in! 1. Why are you here? If I hear one more comment that he or she didn't know how long/accelerated/challenging the program would be...I think I'll scream! Honestly, we have this whole WWW thing the...
My motivation is a combination of high personal standards for my own achievement coupled with a desire to complete my program in the shortest practical time so I can move back home and be with my family. I don't study with music on often, but somet...
From the research I've done regarding ADN programs (I'm in an MSN program) it's not realistic any longer to be able to finish one in 24 months (like many associate degrees might be able to). With all the elements that have been added over the years ...
I'm loving it, personally. I'm in the first semester of an accelerated program and the amount of work is amazing...for instance, I've been working since yesterday (Saturday) a.m. on reviewing notes/text/etc. for a H-U-G-E test tomorrow. But I reall...
Hanging on for dear life! Grades are good, life is good. Sitting in lecture for hours on end is very difficult -- trying to keep up with exercise since I can feel my metabolism grinding to a halt! "Accelerated Program" is a euphemism for "I signed...
Well, I think it's prefectly normal to be uncomfortable when you're having to do intensely personal skills on people who are essentially perfect strangers. If you think about it, feeling comfortable walking into someone you've never met and telling ...
Before you can decide whether it's possible to pull your grades way up so you can pass the program, you first must find out why you're doing poorly. Some areas to explore might be: Poor preparation prior to admittance to the program (Prereqs a long ...
Disease process, signs/symptoms, the nursing diagnoses for patients with these diseases/disorders, appropriate nursing interventions, clinical/patient care skills...it's everything from what is blood pressure, how to take a blood pressure, what is a ...
If you think she's a know-it-all, but you're trying to tell her the right things to do...hmmmm. Whatever you are to do/perform in lab, maybe you could print out the instruction/steps or use the book they come from and use THAT as the guide for how to...
