   Also, I'm guessing your school's library or the public local library would have a copy of updated APA guides. That would be a better alternative.

2. APA style guide necessary?

   NursingGirl0726 replied to dee789's topic in General Students

   Thats what I thought too but an employee of Barnes and Noble told me that they don't mind and that lots of people hang out in their coffee shops and read on a regular basis without purchasing the books. I personally wouldn't do that but I do think it...

   NursingGirl0726 replied to dee789's topic in General Students

   I didn't have to buy it and everything I have needed (thus far) has been online. If I were you I'd wait and then if you find you need it then go to barnes and noble and look up what you need and finish the assignment.

4. MedSurg and Pharm .. What to study?

   NursingGirl0726 replied to nursinggirl11's topic in General Students

   If you will have your text books I would use those to preview the material and review the A&P in nursing terms. I wouldn't start studying Pharmacology. I have taken 2 semesters of pharm each of which was taught by different teachers. The material...

   NursingGirl0726 replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

7. Transferring between a nursing program

   NursingGirl0726 replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

   We had some people in our program who started at college A and then restarted at college B out of school preference. Our school is aware of it and there haven't been any issues. They did have to start at the beginning though.

8. Improving confidence & efficiency?

   NursingGirl0726 replied to Trixie B's topic in General Students

   As far as prioritizing goes, I would recommend taking a paper or form of some kind that has helpful hints to remind you what tasks need to be accomplished. Include things like each round of vitals, accu-checks, baths/showers, medication administratio...

9. How "OLD" are ATI questions really?

   NursingGirl0726 replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

   i get frustrated with ATI for the same reasons. Last semester it was more of a problem but their videos were helpful. I just try to focus on what the teachers lecture on and then when it comes time to test do my best. Its too hard to go back and fort...

    NursingGirl0726 replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I live on a university campus and participate in a sorority. I'm married and I am in nursing school. Its hard but its very doable. You have to be willing to say no sometimes and to prioritize what needs to be done. Sometimes that means little sleep o...

13. ATI leadership 2013

    NursingGirl0726 replied to biotic organism's topic in Student Assist

    They should be pretty similar. Assess your weak areas and go through the ATI books and then answer the questions at the end of those sections. Review any questions you got wrong and use the ATI books to continue your studies as you have time. I've no...

14. Test taking tips.

    NursingGirl0726 replied to ZinnyNurse's topic in Student Assist

    If she gives you power points to go along with the lectures I would study those more than relistening to the same content over and over. If you study in a different way you don't have to waste time reviewing the information you are confident about an...
