Interesting timing of this post. My son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two years ago at age 13. I homeschool my children. Always have, and always will. But sometimes it is not easy, since I am...

I agree with a math prerequisite. An idea could be to have potential nursing students attend a workshop and learn how to read drug labels, do metric conversions, and how to do the "desired over...

Believe me, I am not underestimating the importance of the drug calculations test! I guess what is really bothering me is that so many students I know can't survive nursing school, but I know...

I posted on another thread recently how nursing school is like "The Hunger Games." Today was a particularly rough day. I heard the cannon sound for several of my fellow classmates. They failed the...

YESSS!!!!!! The reason I found this thread is that I googled something like "The Hunger Games is like nursing school" to see if anyone else made the connection! I am in my first semester of a...

I bought a Batclip to use with my Littman classic II SE. I haven't used it yet because I just started classes. I liked the concept of it and that it is well made.

I start in two weeks as well. I agree with the others regarding getting your house in order. I plan on doing a thorough cleaning of my house so we can just work on maintaining it. I am also trying...

My son had to take steroids due to a nasty case of poison ivy. His blood sugar levels doubled! He was only on them for about a week, but we battled his numbers for several more. Before we went to...

I will be starting nursing classes this fall so I can't comment on those books, however, when I took A&P and Microbiology I always bought new books. One of the biggest reasons was that I like to use...

I agree! Our program does require it though. I already have one due to my Nurse Aid I and II classes. We did use ours at clinicals in the nursing home and hospital. Our teacher wanted us to do...

I will be starting an associates degree nursing program this fall. I eventually want to become a CDE. My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes almost two years ago. I have looked at some of the...

Maybe it is because when people think of a nurse they think of a caregiver, someone who would help someone, not someone who would kill a mom and steal her new baby. News reports are now saying...

This thread has been very informative. I start nursing school this fall, and I will definitely keeps some of this info in my mind. I took a Nurse Aid II class fall and looking back I feel so sorry...
