Yeah....pre-nursing studying is nothing like nursing school. I'm in first term nursing school (Fundamentals) and I study ALL the time. Probably 2 hours on weeknights and 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday. There is no "down time". I don't care how go...
I'm the OP and am now 2 months into my ADN program so I thought I'd post how much studying I do. I have class M-Th 9 to 4. I study 6 or 7 hours on Friday, 3 or 4 hours on Sat and Sun and about 1 hour each week night. Yes, it is a LOT but it's real...

WHITE top (not even really a scrub top, it zips up the front and is hideous) with an ugly patch on the sleeve, WHITE pants. Do they just want to humiliate us by making us look as stupid as possible? You'll be able to pick us out from all other stud...
I start my ADN program next week. Over the past month or so I have read the entire Foundations book and am half way through Calculate With Confidence. I have also viewed many procedure videos. I can tell you that my stress level has gone WAY down ...

I finished pre-reqs in the spring and I start NS in August. I've been trying to enjoy all the time with my kids. Getting the house clean! But I've also been reading the entire Foundations text, just 10 or 20 pages a day but I feel like I'm learnin...
At my orientation a few weeks ago, they told us to have a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C. They said you have to attend class and being sick (or sick kids) is no excuse for missing a test (documented emergencies are the exception). Fortunately my husband...
Starting my 1st sememster in ADN program next month. It is also 9 credit hours goes like this: Monday - 9 to 4 Fundamentals class Tues/Wed/Thurs - 9 to 4 Fundamentals lab (and later in semester clinicals) I sure hope I can get most of my studying do...
Has anyone else looked at the schedule? It almost looks like at Palatka we will be in class on Tues/Wed/Thurs from 9 until 6 plus Mon/Fri from 4 until 6. In the past the first semester students have done a four day 9 to 4 schedule. This seems to b...
I'm worried about the same thing when I go to NS this fall. I'm kind of a perfectionist and earned A's in my pre-reqs. I'm the kind of person to ask what question I got wrong and then argue my case. I've been told that this will make me crazy if I...
Based on what I was told in an informational session earlier this year, I think you would be classified as a Cat 2 then.....but if you want to know for sure, call them and I'm sure they can tell you. Oh, and if you call....ask when letters are going...
Yes, your pre-req GPA and HESI determine what category you are in. Then they rank by points within that category, then by application submission time if there is a tie. I think I'm in category 1 as well. From past groups, I've heard that everyone ...
