1. night/weekend nursing schools

   Bojamashell replied to pistolfannie's topic in General Students

   I am in an evening/weekend ADN program. We have class two "nights" a week from 3:45pm-7:30pm (not what I'd call evening, but close). Then we have clinical different days. It changes in our program. 1st semester it was 1 day a week on Saturdays. ...

2. Feeling down and out about Nursing school

   Bojamashell replied to angelhearty15's topic in General Students

   I was disappointed the first semester as well. I ended with a B in theory and A in the other courses. However it wasn't long before we started agreeing that C=RN. It doesn't matter what grade you get, as long as you pass. We all take the same boa...

4. Tips for Nursing Students also working full time jobs (40hrs/week)

   Bojamashell replied to IanTeig1982's topic in General Students

   I work full time (40 hours a week) in a geotechnical lab (testing soil, which has nothing to do with health care. lol), have 3 children and I'm looking forward to entering my last semester of the program. I was told the same thing. I didn't like he...

5. Could use some encouragement.

   Bojamashell replied to Bojamashell's topic in General Students

   In this program for the 2nd semester, they just have beginning med-surg for 5 credits, with the clinical rotation practicum course for 4 credits. The way they figure the grade is complicated. All of my non-exam grades for med-surg are As. My exam ...

6. Could use some encouragement.

   Bojamashell posted a topic in General Students

   So I'm in an ADN program, 2nd semester. I'm borderline failing. If I don't do well on my next two exams, I may actually fail which would be terrible. I've been so stressed I can hardly think straight. I took 2 of our HESI exams today and all I co...

7. Nursing Games is taking its toll

   Bojamashell replied to ImKosher's topic in General Students

   I am in the evening/weekend class at my school and we lost 2 within the first 4 weeks of class. Now we're down to 8 students.

8. Is this normal?....

   Bojamashell replied to sbem10's topic in General Students

   Yep! Same way with me. It happened to me at the end of the 4th week of the first semester. Went back to class on Monday and realized that over half my class (small class of only 8 people since 2 dropped) has gone through the same thing! Made me fe...

9. What's so great about a pinning ceremony?

   Bojamashell replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

   It's a long ways off, but I plan to attend both the commencement ceremony and the pinning ceremony. If I had to choose between the two, I'd probably just choose the pinning ceremony. But since I didn't have a high school graduation, I'll walk at th...

10. This disorganization is making me very anxious!!

    Bojamashell replied to Bojamashell's topic in General Students

    I borrowed about fifty bucks from my mom so I could get the required homework packet for orientation today. I saw that packet and thought "Oh my! What have I gotten myself into?" Just the homework packet for the one class is thicker than my text b...

11. This disorganization is making me very anxious!!

    Bojamashell replied to Bojamashell's topic in General Students

    Haha. Thanks. A friend just reminded me that I have to learn to adapt as I'll hear PLENTY of times in nursing school (she's entering her senior year at a different school). I guess I just need to stop trying to control it and just accept that it w...

12. This disorganization is making me very anxious!!

    Bojamashell posted a topic in General Students

    So, I should just be excited right about now. I mean, I've gotten my immunizations, background check, drug screening, CPR certification, everything that I, as a student, am responsible for. Our class orientation is on Thursday and our program orien...

13. Studying

    Bojamashell replied to ErikaMarie's topic in General Students

    I am the same type of learner. Also, I never had to study until A&P. I learned in A&P II that how the information stayed in my head was to make my own practice quizzes. Also, for lab, I'd take my camera and take pictures of things (because...

14. 3rd shift clinical...Will i get enough experience?

    Bojamashell replied to newbieRN724's topic in General Students

    I'm just starting my nursing program next month. We'll start clinicals in September. I work full time and have young kiddos, so I'm thankful my school has an evening/weekend program that I was accepted into. Our clinicals this semester are on Satu...
