Yeah....pre-nursing studying is nothing like nursing school. I'm in first term nursing school (Fundamentals) and I study ALL the time. Probably 2 hours on weeknights and 6 hours on Saturday and...

I'm the OP and am now 2 months into my ADN program so I thought I'd post how much studying I do. I have class M-Th 9 to 4. I study 6 or 7 hours on Friday, 3 or 4 hours on Sat and Sun and about 1...

WHITE top (not even really a scrub top, it zips up the front and is hideous) with an ugly patch on the sleeve, WHITE pants. Do they just want to humiliate us by making us look as stupid as possible?...

I start my ADN program next week. Over the past month or so I have read the entire Foundations book and am half way through Calculate With Confidence. I have also viewed many procedure videos. I...

I finished pre-reqs in the spring and I start NS in August. I've been trying to enjoy all the time with my kids. Getting the house clean! But I've also been reading the entire Foundations text,...

At my orientation a few weeks ago, they told us to have a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C. They said you have to attend class and being sick (or sick kids) is no excuse for missing a test (documented...

Starting my 1st sememster in ADN program next month. It is also 9 credit hours goes like this: Monday - 9 to 4 Fundamentals class Tues/Wed/Thurs - 9 to 4 Fundamentals lab (and later in semester...

If you go into the lab NUR1020L and click on the CRN number, it will show a different schedule. Hoping that is wrong!

Has anyone else looked at the schedule? It almost looks like at Palatka we will be in class on Tues/Wed/Thurs from 9 until 6 plus Mon/Fri from 4 until 6. In the past the first semester students...

I got into Palatka as well! Congrats to my future classmates and good luck to everyone!

I still haven't found out yet....I'm on vacation....of all weeks. Maybe they will tell me if I call them. ToreoN2B, were you in Category 1 or 2?

Nothing here in North St. Augustine. Did he get a letter or a packet? Great.....no sleep tonight!

I'm worried about the same thing when I go to NS this fall. I'm kind of a perfectionist and earned A's in my pre-reqs. I'm the kind of person to ask what question I got wrong and then argue my...

Based on what I was told in an informational session earlier this year, I think you would be classified as a Cat 2 then.....but if you want to know for sure, call them and I'm sure they can tell you....

Yes, your pre-req GPA and HESI determine what category you are in. Then they rank by points within that category, then by application submission time if there is a tie. I think I'm in category 1 as...

Nomijen.....are you in NS now? How do you deal with the sick people when what you really want to do is deal with injuries? How do you just "suck it up"? I just keep wondering if 2 years of NS dealing...

Toreo....do you know anyone in the program? Have you heard what it might be like?

The new guidelines are 3.5 GPA to put you in category one. I think I was told that they have drawn from category two in the past as well. Hopefully letters will go out soon!

outside of class and clinical, on average, how many hours per day or week do you study? do you find you have time for family? do you have days where you don't have to study or do you feel like you...

I applied to both, you?

So, the fact that I say "eeeewwwwwwww" when I even think about doing bed baths, catheters, wound care, etc. on adults.....this will go away in time? leenak....EXACTLY! What if I can't get a job...

Yes, I'm waiting. I think the letter might go out next week, based on what they said in an informational session.

Here is my dilemma. I have a HUGE passion for labor/delivery and pediatrics (having had 4 children myself). However, I do NOT want to deal with sick adults. I understand that NS is mostly about sick...

You all say NS will be great "if nursing is your passion". Well, my situation is that I really want to work in LDRP or pediatrics....but I can't really imagine myself giving a bed bath to a 65 year...

Nursingmom109 & JBMmommy, Please tell me how many hours per week you study outside of class/clinical. I do not work but have 3 kids at home (plus a 4th in college) and I haven't worked full time...
