   SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

   jujubees1, call the bookstore about the books. Someone might be able to give you the list of books you'll need. You'll use some books a lot more than others this semester. I didn't read every book...

2. Recommended stethescopes/Nursing Central for UH?

   SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

   Stethoscope: A good one will be helpful for first semester, but is not required. You probably won't be able to hear subtle heart or lung sounds. However, it's not that big of a deal if you can't. They...

   SNSWTR replied to nurse_oneday's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Arii, not in either. Going to UHM. Either school is a great choice, but I think KCC is stronger on the

   SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

   It is possible to work while going to school; but if you have kids, you probably won't see them. Several students work during the weekends. Some even work weekdays, too. I think if your job is at a...

5. KCC ADN FALL 2011

   SNSWTR replied to nurse_oneday's topic in General Nursing

   I read the NLN study guide. It covered the test material well. I think one of the tricks is to not underanticipate the physics and circuitry stuff. I don't know if it was my version of the test, but...

   [Hi, going2BaNurse2014. I think I know who you might be, and you probably know who I am. Nice to see you here!] Yes, I don't think you can go wrong with the profs for the first semester. They all...

   SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

   For those who need to get their titers, if you go to DLS and pay cash up front, I think they'll give you a 50% discount. I had insurance, but wasn't sure it would cover the test, so I paid cash up...

8. KCC or UHManoa application

   SNSWTR replied to cha12m's topic in General Nursing

   I know of two students who got into KCC's program with ~120 NLN scores. They were both alt listed and eventually accepted. One had a 4.0 and the other had a 3.8. Both had nurse aide training. On the...

   SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

   And for those who are didn't get in to KCC or are alt listed, it is possible to not get accepted at KCC but accepted at UHM. I know of several students who applied to both but were only accepted at...

10. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations to those who got in. Be prepared to work hard. There's down time and time for work or fun, but exams and paper due dates have a tendency to bunch up. Just as you're breathing a sigh of...

12. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    SNSWTR replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I hear you on that one. School starts on Monday and we just had to replace four tires. It was an unanticipated event. After recently spending a ton of money on books, supplies, and tuition, we did NOT...

13. Hawaii has low unemployment so why are RN jobs tough to get?

    SNSWTR replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a very soon to be nursing student with no connections to a hospital, hospital administration, or nursing organization, so I can't offer an insiders perspective of Hawaii's nursing situation;...

    Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. It was interesting to see the variation in length of care plans required by different schools. If one hates care plan writing, looks like inthere's...

    I've been going over some of the many care plan threads and have found a lot of great information about how to do one. However, I am wondering if anyone has any tips for streamlining the writing...
