  1. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Our orientation was at the end of August or beginning of September so I would assume yours will be around the same time.

    Yes I did! You must be Lisa's sister!! That's such a coincidence, are you in nursing school also?
  3. Mental Health Clinical/Class

    I'm about a week away from starting my mental health class, and I'm slightly nervous because I've heard nothing but horror stories from nurses and other nursing students who have already taken the class. I was wondering if anyone has any insight or ...
  4. I've never heard of watching the needle..all I know is you can palpate for a systolic but you need to use a stethoscope for the diastolic. Nurses usually palpate for a systolic if they have no clue what the patient's baseline systolic is to avoid pu...
  5. MED SURG book...? Best one?

    I agree! Med-surg success is a great book! It provides rationales and also gives test-taking strategies.
  6. Need help with med-surg

    So many people think I'm nuts, but honestly reading the textbook helps me sooo much. It may be time consuming and for some people it doesn't work but give it a shot because I can't tell you how many times I've recalled a question on the test from re...

    Go for it! It's never too early to get started, but don't go overboard. It's pretty basic. For NURS 200 just start to memorize your conversions. I could probably rummage up a few practice questions for you, just give me a few days to see if I can ...

    No I did not take that class. I believe its only for incoming freshman. And yes, you receive your Ipod touch once you are enrolled in Nurs 200.
  9. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    I do commute, and its not a far walk at all..15th and market would be only about 3 streets away but I get off the patco at 15th and locust and from there it still isn't more than a 10 minute walk. It's really nice in the warmer weather but if its ra...
  10. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    :) I'm so glad I'm able to help you guys out. I'll be honest when I say it really is difficult. It's been especially hard for me this quarter, you'll find yourself staying home or being in the library A LOT, but that's what it takes. Passing ...
  11. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Ok..I'm gonna try to address everything in the order they were asked: Yes, the classes are separated in some cases. For example, in my class there is two different classes for the main 6-credit courses and also for most of the other classes. But in...
  12. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    I honestly have never heard of a two-year fast track program. I'm assuming it's a brand new thing because I know myself and a dozen other transfer students would have jumped on that opportunity in a heart beat if it was offered to us! I'll ask arou...
  13. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    No problem! I know there isn't much information available out there, and I know I wish there was someone out there who could have filled me in when I was starting out. I didn't have to take any placement tests at all. The classes are pretty in...
  14. Is HESI a good Judge for the N-Clex success?

    They are constantly telling us at our school how most students performance on the HESI correlates to how well they will do on the NCLEX. One professor of mine even said that the HESI is supposed to be harder than the NCLEX but I'm not so sure about ...
  15. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Well that was my schedule for the first quarter. I'm coming to the end of my second quarter right now. So far the only classes that I've had to take at main campus were nutrition II and co-op, but its just a shuttle ride away from center city. I w...
