  6. Try focusing on learning the chapter objectives if your teacher hasn't handed out any enabling. Objectives....it should better focus your reading. Compare your chapter objectives in the textbook to your power points and see how close they parallel e...

    My gpa before nursing school was 3.67....but do not put to much stock in ga. Three students in my class had gpa's ranging from 3.80 -4.00 and they failed first semester twice. Its all about what you do and how you study once you get there. Keep up...
  8. I would learn the nursing process and all of the activities associated with it, as well as health assessment. It is what we do. I wouldn't do med calc because it is fairly easy just simle ratio and proportion.

  13. Streamlining care plan writing

    @ro2878, yah I guess I shouldn't complain to much.....page one only contains: the nursing system, selfcare deficit, the NANDA diagnosis with its definition and defining characteristics. The other page consists of a table with the 5 columns each lab...
  14. Backpack???

    I have a tagus backpack, it fits my books and laptop easy......but I hate carrying all that stuff....soon I realized the benefit of my trunk....I keep my textbooks there and just carry my binder and pencil case (my back loves me for this).
  15. too much load???

    If you don't need to take the physiology class then don't take it. Yes it can be done..but why stress yourself out. Take it when you are on a break...if your program has a break between years.
