  1. How many classes?

    My first semester consisted of 4 classes: Foundations (clinical), Health Assessment, Informatics, and Healthy Aging (Gerontology).
  2. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    I have a black Littmann Cardiology III that I always keep around my neck both in clinical and at school. I also have an all black (Black Edition) of the Littmann Classic II.
  3. Textbooks keep/rent?

    I'm going into my third semester and I've only kept my Assessment, Funds, and Med/Surg books; and the obvious books such as my diagnosis book and drug guide.
  4. Favorite Nursing Class

    Med/Surg so far because of what has been mentioned before- it's when a lot of things started coming together. I'll have another Med/Surg class in the fall, so we'll see if it stays as a favorite, lol. I'm hoping that Mental Health will be a close sec...
  5. Pathophysiology

    My school combines Pathophysiology and Pharmacology into one course. I think it's best to have taken A&P I and II prior to taking Pathophysiology because in order to understand the abnormal processes occurring in the body, you must understand the...
  6. Notre Dame of Maryland University

    I am currently in their nursing program. I just finished the second semester and so far, everything has been great. Sure, there are kinks to be worked out, or have been worked out as we progress, but we are the inaugural group so it's a matter of tai...
  7. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    I just want to piggyback off this. I felt the same way after the first semester. It was such a "culture shock," if you will, because it was such a different way of thinking and the tests are like nothing you've ever taken during your pre-requisites. ...
  8. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    Congratulations to those of you who were accepted! For those of you who weren't accepted- please do not give up on your dream! I applied to CCBC during two admissions cycles and was rejected both times even with a "Proficient" on the TEAS with a 3.3 ...
  9. in 6 DAYS, I won't belong in this forum anymore!

    Congrats! :-) I still check this forum regardless of being in a nursing program. I find that what has or hasn't helped me is helpful to pre-nursing students, so I still try to check in and see if my input and experiences can help someone else. Best o...
  10. surviving nursing shcool

    This! When I took Med/Surg the first half of the semester, I had that problem- with questions on exams, I had the problem of thinking too far into the question, so your comment hits the nail right on the head. I can't tell you the amount of times I'v...
  11. Med terminology class?

    I think that's a great class to take for any health related field. I took a Medical Assisting program 7+ years ago and much of the medical terminology I learned in that program has proven to be a huge help in my nursing classes. I think once you can ...
  12. What are you doing summer break?

    - Working full time - Concerts - Reviewing dosage - Reviewing NCLEX questions Oh, joy.
  13. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    Popping in again because nursing acceptances are awesome :-) In the past, Simon would say "SHP Decision Made," or something to that effect. It is true that you can potentially see a seat fee posted before you receive your acceptance letter, so that's...
  14. How much do you work in nursing school?

    I also work 24 hours a week. It's tough, but it can be done if you're willing. :-)
  15. Harford Community College 2014

    Notre Dame's program has been great. I'm glad I transferred and am going through their program. As for advice: 1. Buy a planner (not that I would imagine you don't already have one, lol) and seriously stay on track. It's so easy to get behind on read...
