2. OB/Psych/Peds/Pharm

   Mrs.Priss replied to MeagAshley's topic in General Students

   I would just start looking over the Pharm concept maps so that class will take away less time from studying for NUR 112. You will have an exam between the two classes what feels like almost every week. OB is SO much information. I would maybe just st...

4. Is using quizlet to study Nclex questions cheating?

   Mrs.Priss replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

   There are several sites/apps that give practice NCLEX questions. It is not cheating to practice questions. Would it not be the same if you were using an NCLEX study book? Those are questions with answers.

5. Who looks up NP and/or CRNA programs for fun?...

   Mrs.Priss replied to Funformillions's topic in General Students

   I DO!!!! I look them up just to see the requirements. I'm going into my second semester of RN school in a ADN program. I can go straight into a BSN program online that lasts a year through a connecting university, when I graduate with my associates. ...

   WELL SAID!!! That's exactly what I was trying to get across!!! This just sounds better than what I said!!! lol

7. Appearance?

   Mrs.Priss replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in General Students

   In my nursing school, you cannot have hair color other than normal colors (blonde, red,brown, black, grey, etc), and no showing tattoos. I think expressing yourself through appearance is very unique! I used to have hot pink hair, 1" gauges in my ears...

   We had fundamentals of nursing for first semester and did clinicals in a nursing home with actual patients. Next semester will be Psych, OB, and Pharm. I am nervous because I heard it is A LOT!!!! Wednesday was my last day and I started reading in my...

10. Husband rant...kinda long.

    Mrs.Priss replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    I had those same plans and everything planned out when I started my first semester. Truth is you have to learn to go with the flow or you won't make it! Live day to day! I know that's easier said than done but you literally have to when you're in nur...

12. Unbelievable exam question

    Mrs.Priss replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    We do not have any fill in the blank mutliple-choice type questions like that. I am only in first semester, so I am not sure if I will see them later on. Seems like nursing school wants to test your ability to pick out the distracter.
