   I am bringing my clinical skills textbook, although we will likely not be using it the first day. We'll likely be watching some old videos. :) But just in case! And don't forget your portfolio or to wear full scrubs w/hair up. Mostly all of the ...

   Anyone else at Central campus in clinical tomorrow- just logged in to Blackboard and looked at the Calendar, where it says we're supposed to meet up tomorrow at 815 am....unlike where in the welcome letter it said 830. Hmmm. I e-mailed the professo...

   Hello, all, I'm a re-track from the Janurary semester, so I'm taking NUR1020L again this semester (passed everything else fine, messed up the return demo). I go to Central, so just wanted to clear up some questions for those others who also go ther...

   Well, I'm glad that it seems they want caring and compassionate nurses-that's a plus;) I love the Memorial Healthcare system. I've had struggles with a few other hospitals, and they've been wonderful in providing patient care. However, given that...

   So, passed the math test on the first try and the vitals on the first try- although I made a really dumb mistake with my stethoscope when going to do the apical pulse and forgot to turn it so the bell was ON, so I was listening to....nothing.....lol....

   I was wondering the same thing, because the packet seems a lot easier than what we were doing in class, and a lot more straight forward....but I don't remember! I would ASSUME that if that's what she made as her sample problems that that's somewhat ...

   How's everyone feeling about our upcoming math exam? And Vital Sign check offs? And Return Demo? I never thought I'd say this, but I'm most confident in theory class. Lol. I guess it makes sense. I don't actually have the opportunity to injure...

   The times I've gone into the lab, the instructors seemed to be taking more of a 'babysitter' type role, watching over the group. I don't see much assisting going on, and while I do realize that's up to the individuals who need to ask for assistance,...

    By the way, when I was going through our schedules and the upcoming things we'll have to do, I noticed that our next theory exam is Feb 7, and the Feb 8 is our Return Demo for clinical (if you have it Tuesday, which I do). So that week prior and the...

    I'm sorry, but I have to point something out here- the instructors accept performing certain skills a different way or in different orders than the book presents them, but if you do your vital signs or demo or whatever you need to perform the way th...

    I got a 40/50 on the exam. I'm relieved to see how I did and now have a 'base' of sorts to go off of, but most unsettling is that I expected this exam to be much harder than it seemed, and much more critical thinking based, whereas it in fact was, p...

    Well, I would make sure you go over things you don't remember from A&P I a bit, make sure you know your A&P II decently well--for both, read the Anatomy & Physiology section of the HESI study guide, which is published by Evolve. The A&am...

    So... after clinical today Prof K came to me and we went into the office and sat down and Prof S was there too; they said that they could see just how much I wanted to succeed and pass and that I was responsible and asking lots of questions and doing...

    Hey, guys, wanted to post on this thread since I started Nursing at BC this January over at Central campus. It's only been, what, three weeks? Two? But it's been incredibly intense!! We have our first exam in theory on eleven chapter this Friday....
