  1. Study tips/Exam help!

    Thanks for this thread. I am also typically an A student but am currently failing my 2nd semester of nursing school. I did great on the first test and quiz but last week I bombed a test (D-) and today I straight up failed a Pharm test worth 30% of my...
  2. Unsupportive fiance...not sure what to do

    I agree with a lot of the previous posters. If he isn't supportive now, he likely never will be. Ladies tend to hope for the best and wait/hope for these types of guys to come around and a lot of times they don't. Appreciate what time you had togethe...
  3. Ebooks? Some, all or none??

    The textbooks are huge and heavy. Think you are gonna study everywhere? Nope. Try as I might, I can't seem to read my Fundamentals, Med-Surg, or OB books in bed. They are too big! Even "curling up" on the couch when I am tired of sitting at a desk is...
  4. I Need a Stethoscope

    I have an MDF MD One (MDF 777) and love it. It can be found on AllHeart for $54.98 and comes in a variety of colors. Unlike the Littmann, it is constructed with stainless steel. It also has clear ear pieces so you can see if they need replacing..and....
  5. Hello! I wanted to make a page for anyone attending Eastern Florida State College (formerly Brevard Community College) this fall. We are the first class to begin with the new name and we will be awesome! Congratulations to everyone who got in and hop...
  6. First Day of Nursing School

    Thanks! This morning we woke up at 6:30, got some Dunkin' and walked over to the dog beach. Drinking coffee while watching dogs attack the waves was very relaxing. Today I am going to bake brownies, pumpkin mac & cheese (it's healthy...) and clea...
  7. One more week before I sign over my life!

    So I picked up the rest of my books on Friday.. I didn't think there would be a bigger book than the Fundamentals one. Has anyone picked up a Maternal Child Nursing Care textbook? It's even bigger! Monday is coming too soon. I am slurping town ice wa...
  8. First Day of Nursing School

    My first day is Monday. I am so excited and nervous. Actually, I am a bit surprised at how anxious I am this weekend. Though it is my last weekend of "freedom", there is still a lot to do. I feel that I should be getting extra sleep, making sure all ...
  9. I personally believe that cleaning and shining up the poop is the best idea ever. Let's make the poop feel comfortable! XD
  10. Brevard Community College Fall 2013

    I am buying mine online for the most part. Some are older editions. I am so excited to meet everyone. We have a long road ahead of us and I know we will make it.
  11. This is a great topic! I took a Nursing Success Skills class and it was VERY helpful. I find that using a variety of note taking strategies is a good idea in the beginning. Eventually you will find what works for you. For me, flashcards aren't so gre...
  12. Organizee/Planner

    I have been using greenroom planners since I started back to school. You can usually find them at Target for about $8. Why? -Ecofriendly -Tabbed -Big blocks to write in for each day -Room in the back for notes, contacts, and resources -Variety of si...
  13. Brevard Community College Fall 2013

    Hooray! I got all my stuff for Certified Profile done except for the flu shot. I am wanting to wait until the last minute for that one in case they release a more recent one closer to 08/20. Anyone started collecting books? My dining room table is n...
  14. Anyone working on "Extra Goals"?

    I am a bit larger than I "should" be and am looking to lose (or be well on my way to losing) about 20-30 pounds. I am right there with Lori, I am going to need the extra energy and less stress on my knees & ankles. I am attempting to drop my fas...
  15. Laptop or paper/pen notes in class?

    I do paper and pen notes but try to have the eBook companion in class. Best of both worlds? People complain about using the print outs too but I love them. I use them as an outline.
