  1. Advice for Med Surg? ANY & ALL Advice!

    The short answer? All of it. Especially since most instructors try to stress more common drugs. Believe me, they do come up during clinical and you'll be glad you studied your butt off in patho and pharm so you already know what to do and what to exp...
  2. UNLV- HESI A2 exam

    How were your A&P grades? Have you taken the classs recently? Did you finish taking both 224 and 223? There's a very broad spectrum of questions on that topic. A&P questions were more "big picture" oriented. Review your class notes. How comf...
  3. Be a renal nurse and not work a day in your life

    Thank you for sharing your story and his. I choose to become a nurse, not work as a nurse and I want to always remember that. I'm sorry that my cat voted on your poll; she loves to sit on my laptop. She has no experience as a renal nurse, so just ign...
  4. I Know This Annoying but....

    Go straight for RN. More pay, more jobs available to you, and more variety in settings to suit what YOU want to do.
  5. ASBN Programs

    You do need to understand basic chemistry concepts as a nurse; I can honestly say it helps with understanding pharmacology and pathophysiology. I'm in an ABSN program and boy do they not have time to explain things you should have learned in your pre...
  6. any one get a accepted into program with Bs?

    To put it simply-YES!
  7. Will I use my knowledge from prereqs in nursing?

    Yes. Questions in nursing school exams are written as if you got at least a B in A&P and remember ALL of it. The nursing professors don't have time to review so don't cram in A&P now, study it as if you will remember it the rest of your caree...
  8. CNA, but don't want a RN career or in health field

    I say kudos to you for knowing what you want! Don't be pressured into becoming a nurse if you're not passionate about it, money alone won't be worth it.
  9. Advice for getting a CNA before nursing school

    Well, here is my experience; please take it with a grain of salt. :) I got my CNA license right before starting my accelerated BSN program. I find that if I want to keep my GPA high AND actually get some sleep, I can't work while in school. (You can ...

  11. Help! I've Fallen Behind in Reading and I Can't Get Up

    I record the lecture and combine that with the lecture notes. Afterwards, I would fill in the gaps by looking up specific things in the book that I didn't feel were covered thoroughly enough by my teacher. Then I'll test my understanding by doing pra...
  12. CHAD degree then ABSN or Straight BSN?

    Firstly, look up which school has a higher NCLEX pass rate and start asking around which hospitals favor which grads. This will make a huge difference and make your choice clearer. From what I heard, I degree in a field that is unrelated in your area...
  13. CNA instructor

    Maybe you can post a powerpoint of the things you're going to say and key terms a couple days before the class. Make it mandatory that the students read it and then look up/e-mail you any terms they do not understand. If your program requires a textb...
  14. Can you use on Resume "nursing assistant"??

    I think not, unless you have worked as a nursing assistant. It would be so not worth it if a potential employer thought you were being dishonest. Just my two cents here- to put that you are a nursing assistant isn't fair to the other students who no...
  15. Nursing School Blues

    Me time is so very important. I'm currently not working which is helping, but I can't imagine working or having children while in nursing school. My mentor said you have to really try to do something fun and just for you every once in a while to keep...
