1. Crisis Mode!

   mistydbuffa replied to mistydbuffa's topic in General Students

   Thank you. I am feeling so much pressure from the time crunch. So much reading and studying and assignments. I think I need to address my time management and delegating skills. I try to do it all. We are just starting week 3 and I already feel like a...

2. Crisis Mode!

   mistydbuffa posted a topic in General Students

   I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment . Not sure how to proceed. Huge workload and family conflict have me feeling blue. Any advice for a new nursing student on striking a good balance?

   Follow your heart. Don't take it personal. Irked is one thing, but if you let her get under your skin, she wins. You can do it. You have enough experience to know if its what you want to do. She was probably being a catty B-word because she is jealou...

7. Anybody awaiting Baker College acceptance letters?

   mistydbuffa replied to brightfutur's topic in Michigan

   With the writing, u can save a bit of time by focusing on the specifics asked. The a&p portion, I don't know what to offer. Study electrolytes, heart, Neuro, and metabolism. Those were my hard part. I did the worst in the science with a 65% but d...

    mistydbuffa replied to MegRN14's topic in Student Assist

    Argh sent too soon. Get an NCLEX study guide. That should help with understanding format and rationale. Maybe download a nclex flashcard app if you have a smart phone. Mine offers rationale. And try changing the way you study. Understand more memoriz...

14. Not willing to do the dirty work?

    mistydbuffa replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    Wow, appalling. I think learning to be a nurse should be from the ground up so to speak. No person ever won a spelling bee without first learning the alphabet. What happens if your CNA calls in sick, or the patients on your floor catch the flu and ma...
