Ok so I just graduated in May and I start a Hospice job tomorrow! Im so scared, I have no experience beyond my clinicals. I had a brief "training" when I got hired today, and they said that it is pretty easy and self explanatory and if I need any hel...

I can't believe they won't let you record lectures, Your in college lol. The only thing we can't record is Clinicals, but why would you record that anyway. The recordings vary in different classes. I don't have a learning difficulty, I just like to r...
Our syllabus was pretty long, but not that long. Maybe like 25-30 Pg. But we didn't have to pay for them. Are you attending private school or something?

I would just ignore it. I am the same way, I don't socialize or participate in study groups. Thats not why I signed up for school, I signed up to be a nurse. I have noticed some people might say something about me, but I don't care, and you shouldn't...

I am almost finished w/ my first semester, and we used Fundamental Concepts and Skills for Nursing (Saunders) and I bought the Study Guide, and to be honest, it has not really helped. I am sure it would help if I had time to do all the questions and ...
Read ahead, don't socialize, practice nclex questions, do your best on every test/assignment even if you have a 100 in that class, and study study study study! And yes, lots of coffee/ibuprofen, i would get a good recorder to record lectures, and a l...
