   simplyblissful replied to demeanor89's topic in General Students

   Don't lose hope! Find a system that works for you and stick to it. Have you tried study groups? Practice questions? Don't overwhelm yourself trying to read every single page of your readings. Focus on the main concepts that your instructor stresses y...

2. How to get the most out of the readings

   simplyblissful posted a topic in General Students

   I need HELP! I know being a nursing student means that there will be a large volume of assigned readings. How do you guys tackle this? Do you skim quickly, take notes or skip sections altogether? I find it difficult to stay engaged. I've tried taking...

3. First day of clinical rotation - your experience?

   simplyblissful posted a topic in General Students

   My first day of clinical starts next week and I'm excited and feeling overwhelmed at the same time. I'd love to hear about your experiences and things you wish you would've known before you started. What was the the most difficult situation you enco...

4. A&p 1 study tips

   simplyblissful replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sometimes its tough to read the content without looking at a reference photo. If you do that, you're able to visualize all the words and really remember them. This helped me A LOT! Once you're familiar with for example, the kidneys and its different ...

   Thanks all for the awesome replies! I ended up getting the littmann classic II SE for about $55! So far so good, can't wait to really start using it! :)

   simplyblissful replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the course during the summer and worked part time 3-4 days a week. So about 20-25 hours a week. It was tough but I was able to get a bit of studying done during my breaks (notecard reviews, listening to recorded lectures etc) but not sure if t...

7. Just took the TEAS V and

   simplyblissful replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing

   74 is pretty good. In addition to that, your GPA is competitive so I don't see a reason for you to retake it. Do keep in mind that some nursing programs go by the "point system" so for example, if you got a higher TEAS score you'd get more points whi...

8. Decent quality stethoscope and blood pressure kit?

   simplyblissful posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm going into my first semester of nursing school in January. I need to purchase a stethoscope and a blood pressure kit. Any ideas on where to buy these items for a good price? Obviously I wouldn't need the highest quality but I do want one that wor...

10. Immunization & Health Requirements + 10 Panel Drug Screening

    simplyblissful replied to simplyblissful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh yes... Because nursing school will be our full time job for the next two years! It'll be well worth it. Chaffey is in Rancho Cucamonga. Have you heard of it? And do you live near pasadena? Did you already get your CPR, BG check, and all that borin...

11. Immunization & Health Requirements + 10 Panel Drug Screening

    simplyblissful replied to simplyblissful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks. I called the county health department before any other place and they told me they don't do the titers at any of their locations. I spent around $280 on just the titers today (excluding the other vaccinations and TB screening). Excuse me whil...

13. Immunization & Health Requirements + 10 Panel Drug Screening

    simplyblissful replied to simplyblissful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I checked the CVS website and they do list the prices online, thank you so much. It's also a bit cheaper than the clinic I called yesterday. Not sure if they do titers though, I'll have to look into that.

14. Immunization & Health Requirements + 10 Panel Drug Screening

    simplyblissful replied to simplyblissful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    We need to be enrolled for the current semester in order to be able to take advantage of the health services at the college. My school requires titers for MMR, Varicella, and Hep B and depending on results, we may or may not need to get vaccinated. D...
