   OnMyWay23 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Students

   The first semester we had 6 books. The second semester which I start in January we are adding in 7 books and continuing the use of 3 of the books from the previous semester. It seems as if the cost goes down each semester from what I have been told ...

2. I messed up my Hep B vax

   OnMyWay23 replied to kimbap's topic in General Students

   We were allowed to start as long as the series itself was started and we got the rest of the series done on time and when expected. They do check that you continue them, so make sure you have them when you are supposed to!

3. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

   OnMyWay23 replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

   Be open to accepting change as well. If something is not working for you, ask advice and take it. I had to totally change my way of studying. My past semester I had tons of roadblocks....my 15 year old son was hospitalized, our families only form of...

   OnMyWay23 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

   Thanks for this post! Tomorrow is actually my first day of the semester, actually officially being in the BSN program. Last year I did all my note taking with a laptop, it was just to much to lug around. This year I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet, the...

7. RN School and Family Life

   OnMyWay23 replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am a firm believer in going after what you know in your heart you want. However, that being said, I also understand some of your struggles. My kids are older than yours...10, 12, and 15 now. But my middle child has vesicoureteral reflux and multi-c...

8. Which Specialty?

   OnMyWay23 replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

   I have not even started clinicals (this week) and I have already changed my mind. The whole time I was doing pre reqs I swore that the only thing I wanted to do was developmental disabilities. I have 2 children that are on the spectrum and one that...

9. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

   OnMyWay23 replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

   We would not be able to wear these. They have to be all leather and completely white at our school. Someone asked during orientation if they could wear white Nikes and the advisor told her only if the swoosh and everything was white.

10. Last Free Weekend

    OnMyWay23 replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I went out with my husband tonight. We went to check out the new casino in town (I've never been in one) and have dinner there with the adults in the family. Needless to say, I allowed myself $10.00 to have some fun and lost it all in the slots! HA...

11. Last Free Weekend

    OnMyWay23 replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    We didn't have to do a boot camp, but our advisors and nursing instructors all told us at orientation that one of the keys to making it through without going completely mad is to schedule a few hours each week for yourself our for you and your signif...

12. "Over studying"

    OnMyWay23 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't believe you can over study, but you can study at the wrong time! I learned to never pick up or even look at my notes for a test the same day of. You should have all your studying done before that. I found that when I look at them the day o...

13. My bag of struggles.

    OnMyWay23 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Definitely sending prayers your way! Your right, we all have/have had obstacles of our own. But, that does not make yours any less troublesome. You have been through struggles, and you have been brought through. Just remember to turn to God, he will...

    OnMyWay23 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Our semester starts August 20th, but I have Mondays without classes (plan to use them in the open clinical lab hours). Therefor, my first day won't actually be until August 21st. I am going to Mercy College of Ohio.

    OnMyWay23 replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    Enjoy your first day! My first day is the 21st. I can't wait, I am beyond excited here! Of course my first day entails no actual nursing courses, just my religion, statistics, and pathophysiology. I have to wait until the second day of classes for...
