I have never had anyone ask, and I graduated from the ASN program a few years ago. I am about to wrap up my MSN, recently took a promotion, and they could not have cared less about my grades. They didn't ask to see anything. As long as you graduat...
I would play it by ear. But in all honesty, a commute is no excuse for being late. I live 30 minutes away from my designated hospital & I leave an hour before I am scheduled to be there. This takes care of any traffic issues or if I need to stop ...

I have had several favorites- I am in my final semester. My absolute favorite was the oncology unit. Some others were the ER, the elective surgery unit, and the orthopedic unit.
Our school custom built a packet for our first semester. About one month before that semester started, the same exact packet was offered on amazon. All it took was a call to the bookstore to verify the ISBN's. They weren't thrilled about giving them ...
I'm in Missouri and our Dept of Health offers money in exchange for work at either any hospital in the state or any clinic in a county of need. I'd look at your state's dept of health website for something similar.
One of our instructors gave us a practice set of questions during first semester. I pull it out a week before we have to go back for a "skills fair" & math exam to study. It has always helped me pass each time.
I agree with many of the others! Check first that the edition isn't going to change before you begin. I have successfully bought from amazon, abebooks, and Chegg. I have never had an issue with the access code not working except for through a rental....
I think the issue all boils down to professionalism. Grades have nothing to do with how one is able to conduct his or herself. Our school made a point of telling us upfront at orientation that being unprofessional in any way would not be tolerated- a...
My current clinical experience sounds nearly identical to how your clinicals were. We are in 3rd semester- we have class all day once a week, and then that afternoon we drive to the hospital to get our patient information. The night before clinical, ...
Don't give up. New class, new question and new test format all add up for a huge change and a difficult task! I don't know how you studied, but what I have personally found the best results with is by utilizing the textbook's chapter questions, the b...
Some of our books are reused throughout the 4 semesters, some aren't. I have bought and rented from Chegg, Amazon, Abebooks, and a discount bookstore in town. I made the mistake of buying from the school's bookstore once during my gen eds- I'll never...
I was the same way. As a child, I was so shy that I would sometimes cry if I got embarrassed. I went through first semester watching my clinical partner talk away with patients, classmates, etc. It finally hit me about halfway through that if I was g...

Our nursing program requires us to have one, along with several other vaccines that we have to keep up-to-date. I'm surprised that it's not a requirement if you are in a nursing program.
