  1. I have to say that as a student, I work as a CNA and volunteer for every dirty job and experience I can get my hands on. We are being taught to pass the NCLEX and write papers in APA format. We do have a 12 hour clinical once a week but are limited i...
  2. Nursing classes are easy...

    Pardon my vent but as someone who suffers from ADHD I find this to be very narrow minded and I hope that I never have a nurse with such a judgmental attitude caring for me. A prescription means that there was a valid medical diagnosis of a condition,...
  3. I hate nursing exams

    I hate the way our nursing exams are written. The faculty does not spell or grammar check them and the wording is poor. My ATI predictor tests are usually "Level 3" indicating a passing level on the NCLEX and I do well with the questions from our tex...
  4. Just picturing when I chart and give report...... The computer will not stop alarming and "203's last vitals were BP 120/78, Resp 16, 02 99%, Temp 98.4, Oh and his HR was 0" will probably get a few double takes . Seriously this is good news for many ...
  5. Sorry I haven't been on here in a few months. I do know a guy with a 3.8 GPA that got in, and the only the GPA of the rerequisite and general education courses matters, if a course is not required for the nursing degree then it does not figure into y...
  6. Do YOU enjoy nursing school?

    I have to say that I enjoy nursing school. I am (like several other posters) a total night owl and my DH works 4-midnight, needless to say it makes for some serious sleep deprivation. The first semester I was a complete zombie, worked 32 hours a week...
  7. I personally love my Droid X, I have a pdf copy of my med-surgical book and the screen is just large enough to read while I am doing nothing else. I am currently looking for a good flash card app though....
  8. Thank you sooo much, I used 7zip to open it and had no problems. I love having the ebook so I can just take my laptop
  9. I found an international edition from the UK for $58, but I am curious where you downloaded the 11th? I would like to have an copy to put in my computer if it is free Thanks in advance
  10. Thanks, I will be asking the professor. I have never had any problem using old or international versions before, but I guess nursing books are an unknown for me :)
  11. Hi, I am wondering if anyone had compared BRUNNER & SUDDARTH'S Textbook of Medical Surgical Nursing Editions 11 and 12. I am supposed to buy the 12th edition package for $180 and I can get the 11th edition for around $50. I know usually the page ...
  12. Hi, I personally had a 4.0 GPA for the program because I was allowed to use statistics (got an A) instead of College algebra (got a C) and Intro to world religions (A) instead of Humanities © and so on. The program will not disclose the cut off GPA b...
  13. Congratulations!!!!! I was accepted as well, it kind of stinks that I could not get them to give me the physical form to be filled out by my Dr. when I went for a work physical 3 weeks ago, but now I have to have it done in 13 days.... Go figure :) H...
  14. How to Handle Student Incivility

    I purposely took the hardest A&P instructor at my school because I wanted to have a strong foundation for my nursing classes. I heard many negative things about her (you had to attend class, if your phone rang, she would ask you to leave class an...
  15. SCF/Manatee Community College Nursing Program

    I have done all my pre-reqs there and have been pleased so far. I am hoping for an acceptance letter on July 1st for the Venice campus AS program...... @ ashcoyle, which campus are you going to, if I may ask???
