2. Buy nursing books from School bookstore or other websites?!

   adnstudent44 replied to a0646504's topic in General Students

   definitely buy off amazon! the school bookstores always charge too much and if you end up without the access code, the book's website often lets you buy the access code by itself; I've done this for pearson multiple times and it still ends up cheaper...

   adnstudent44 posted a topic in CNM

   Hello! I am about to start my last year of my ADN program at a community college in VA this fall. If all goes well I will graduate Spring of 2015. This summer I am researching BSN programs for ADNs as well as hopefully starting a doula certificati...

5. Advice for Passing Pharm

   adnstudent44 replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Student Assist

   lol! well I bombed my first pharm test, so it was close to impossible getting an A after that, but the book definitely helped me slavage myself in that class. I have used it since for my other classes as well. I often chose to use it over a lot of dr...

6. Critique of Nursing School

   adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

   This! I totally agree that if there is a grievance, it is usually deemed the students fault, justly or unjustly. I just try and be quiet. There was an issue at our program and one of our "better students" who was also the class rep, thought that she...

7. Critique of Nursing School

   adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

   I am currently in an ADN program, and although I am doing very well, and have a few great teachers, I do not think ADN programs are exempt from the same issues that BSN programs have. My county college has the same ATI challenges as the rest, as well...

8. Critique of Nursing School

   adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

   Let me just add, that yes I know there are "newbies" out there who are rude or disrespectful and yes sometimes when they say something, I cringe. I am not talking about that. I was more referring to when people try to talk about policy change and oth...

9. Critique of Nursing School

   adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

   I think part of the problem with nursing education is that those that are qualified to teach nursing school often have to take a pay cut to pursue teaching. As a result, many stay working in the hospitals or other facilities. I am very lucky to have ...

    here* ugh typo, sorry thats just embarrassing.

13. a personal fear

    adnstudent44 replied to reka2014's topic in General Students

    Yes. The only thing that keeps those fears at bay is reading posts on hear from veteran nurses talking about how you don't really learn anything until you get your first job. I'm going to make sure during my first interviews to ask about what kind of...

14. First Clinical Jitters

    adnstudent44 replied to ellaballet's topic in General Students

    We had all of our skills checked off before we started our first clinical, otherwise we were not allowed to start clinical. I think it depends on the program, because I definitely had to be prepared to do anything starting my first week, which my ins...

15. First Clinical Jitters

    adnstudent44 replied to ellaballet's topic in General Students

    I did mostly CNA duties but I also did give my first shot and pass meds for my first clinical. As for tips? I agree with the first responder who said don't ask questions while the RN is pulling meds for your patient. Our instructor actually told us t...
