  1. second semester thread :-)

    Just finished my 1st week of 2nd semester too. We are doing Med/Surg this semester. OB and Peds is in the summer. We have 3 exams, 1 final, 13 quizzes, 1 math competency test, 4 lab tests, 1 HESI exam, ABG assignment, process recording assignment, a...
  2. Yay!! Passed semester 1 (Fundamentals) but....

    If I was an instructor and found out a copy of the final exam was stolen from my desk, I would have made a new test immediately. I'm sorry this has happened to you and many innocent students taking the blame of other people's action. Are they going t...
  3. Feeling totally dejected

    :hug: Sometimes I feel the same way... I just started NS too. I heard it gets better though. Over the weekend I spoke briefly to a friend who is a Nurse Practitioner and she says that school is hard and so much different from real nursing. She says t...
  4. Level 1 student; help me out if you can

    I have Fundamental Success that I used to take my first text today... hope I did well!! The questions after each chapter in our Basic Nursing Books are only 5-10 questions and I was getting tired of answering the same questions over and over again. I...
  5. first year student

    we have weekly quizzes over our reading materials... did u have quizzes or online resources u can utilize? we have review questions online that we can answer with rationales. i would probably practice those questions to start with. good luck on your ...
  6. Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

    Hey.. we just learned that in lecture yesterday and I have no problems with NrsDX... I think all of it makes sense because we are nurses to treat the patient or client and not the disease. People always tell me to just be a doctor. And I respond by t...
  7. Head to toe assessments on classmates?

    It's my 2nd week and our assessment lab is tomorrow!
  8. Survived the first week!

    It was rough... but I survived! I have lectures on Tuesdays 1-4, clinicals on Wednesdays, and learning lab on Thursdays 9-12. For the first week instead of going to clinicals we were to attend an extra lecture/lab on either Thurs or Fri from 7:30-2:0...
  9. nursing student jobs

    I believe it depends on your state. But in Ohio, I heard that after your 1st semester of nursing school, you can test to become an STNA without any other additional classes. You can also work as a nurse tech as well. The difference between an STNA an...
  10. Drug Cards

    I wish we were allowed to use electronic devices such as iPods or iPhones during clinicals. Since they have cameras on them, the clinical sites do not allow students to use them. It could be a HIPAA violation if a student decides to take pictures of ...
  11. I agree! But it seem some schools don't even teach students how to do them on dummies. When I saw this thread I was curious to know if my school teaches us how to insert/start IVs and draw blood, so I asked the graduates on FB and was told we learn h...
  12. Nursing student-need advice please!

    I would stick with the ADN program since you already spent $1,500. You will be done with school quicker and possibly start working sooner. You can then continue your education for a BSN later if you wish. Getting your BSN right now is going to cost y...

    where did this post come from?
  14. Book Suggestions?

    Try the "Incredibly Easy" series.. I don't have A&P or Pharmacology but I have Fluids & Electrolytes, ECG Interpretations, and Pathophysiology Incredibly Visual. I read A&P For Dummies when I took intro to A&P and it helped... for A&a...
  15. I just don't get it.....

    Wow... not sure if it's because I just started the program this week but all the staff and faculty at my school are really nice. Our course leader has been responding to our emails in a timely manner over the week. Like I said.. maybe it's just becau...
