  3. Online statistics class

    I am starting an online statistics class on Monday and I was wondering if anyone has any helpful tips regarding statistics. I am taking classes to complete my RN to BSN and really want to make good grades so I can get my MSN down the road.
  4. Last semester before graduation

    Today I start my last semester of nursing school before I graduate with my ADN in May!!! I cant believe how much excitement and nervousness can try and take over at once. Is it normal to feel so unsure? I have studied very hard to make it this far a...
  5. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    A&p1 is difficult because you are learning a "new language" and everything else builds on what you learn in the class. The material gets a little more in depth each semester following and the test questions become all NCLEX style. Personally I ha...

    Always find time for lunch.... There are times you will be very busy but you must take care of yourself to adiquitly take care of your patients. Your brain and muscles work better when they are fueled with healthy food. Drink water, high protein, low...
  7. What is a Calling to be a nurse?

  10. Daily Schedule?

    It differs person to person. There are some students in my class who have kids and work 2 jobs while going to nursing school (which doesn't leave much study time) and do great. On the other hand there are people who study hours upon hours and are str...
  11. Half way there!!

    First semester I studied from the fundamentals book second semester I used med-surg. Your time management gets better but the material gets more difficult. Tests are NCLEX style and they are difficult to understand (I would recommend you buy a NCLEX ...
  12. Half way there!!

    Hello everyone! i am so excited to be half way through my ADN program. There have been days where I have felt on top of the world and other days that I have had to drag myself out of bed but all in all it has been an amazing journey so far. Rumor has...

  14. Do you eat well/exercise while in the program?

    Oh I forgot dinner, I make dinner almost every night but there are nights that there is no time to make dinner so we eat unhealthy (I have 2 boys so its usually pizza). The nights I make dinner we usually have a protein and a veggie (last night we ha...
  15. Do you eat well/exercise while in the program?

    Its funny that you ask this question because a lot of people in my program have complained that they have gained weight since starting nursing school. These same people are the ones that go out to eat almost every day and eat a lot in one sitting. I ...
