I agree with earplugs for exams. I use those silicone ones you roll into a ball that mold to your ear. They help to muffle the coughing in the class that for some reason only starts up during an...

Why choose failure when success is an option?

What on earth are they going to have you do with a computer that costs almost $2000? I have a clearance PC that cost me $280 and it does everything I need to do for school.

Yup...sitting here right now trying to formulate a PICOT question for my paper :grumpy:.

Our school uses the Hogan series "Reviews and Rationales" as supplementary texts. I just finished OB (with an A) and found this book more useful than the actual text. I think these books are...

I don't really have any particular space in my house set aside for studying. I do have a desk off the kitchen but it's not private. It's more just an area to keep my books, computer, etc. I did need...

I'm just finishing up a 17 credit semester :woot:. I'll have 3 semesters left of my BSN program. Spring looks like this: Med-Surg II (5 cr) Pediatrics (5 cr) Evidence Based Practice (3 cr)...

So the final decision was Widener? :wavey: There's a Transferring to Widener FB page; maybe you could also ask there? Good luck! -Erica

Oh, that stinks! So close! I also missed out on my first birth last week :sniff:. Mom was most likely headed for a c-section, and my instructor was willing to hang out with me for an hour or so, but...

I'm a second-semester BSN student: a back-to-school mom with four kids (16, 12,10, and 4 1/2). The only thing that is saving me is that my three older daughters are with their father for half of the...

I'm also in my second semester and feeling like :sorry:. All I can say is hang in there, but I know it's tough. I'm sort of having issues with my one clinical instructor also, but for different sorts...

I would also agree with chem being the better choice, if you had to chose between the two. Bio is good for cell biology and genetics, but what you need to know will be covered again in A&P, but my...

It sounds like they haven't opened registration for November/December yet. When I registered last year, I randomly happened upon an open test date with a couple of seats open. Debating registering,...

I bought this one: Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care,9e: Betty J. Ackley,Gail B. Ladwig: 9780323071505: Amazon.com: Books and have used it for two care plans so...

Widener Universtiy in Chester PA accepts transfers. I started this past summer after completing all my prereqs at the CC. Since freshmen start nursing classes in their first year and transfers...

Married with 4 kids here..it's impossible to let anything go! Life goes on and I physically and mentally cannot sit on my toosh with my nose constantly in a book. I need my kids to have some...

I took it last November and scored a 144 (98%) after studying for a week. I used the red NLN exam review guide and found it to be a huge help. The only area that I felt was lacking in the study guide...

I did go for it! I'm so happy I did, I'm really in love with it. I don't think most of my classmates pay me much attention anyway...we were waiting to go into class the other day, and one of the...

Thank you everyone for your advice! I decided to go for it, and boy am I glad I did! I was able to pick up a LL Bean deluxe roller at their b&m store and I've used it twice now. What a load off my...

I start my OB rotation next week and I'm really looking forward to it :yeah:. I'd love to work in L&D one day. I have four kids so I can't wait to experience it now from the other side. The only...

I need to be convinced. I had my second day of my second semester and I physically cannot afford to carry around this backpack much longer. I have a LL Bean bag that I splurged on because I thought...

That's my way of thinking..everyone asks what area I'd like to work in, and I say L&D or NICU, but then I usually add that I'm waiting to see where the road takes me. I may hate it (my OB clinical is...

My school commute is about 25-30 minutes and my clinicals will be about 15-20 minutes away. I actually enjoy the drive to/from school except for the traffic near my house. It gives me some time to...

I just ordered those today! They look comfy! I had a pair of Nike's I was using over the summer for our lab classes, but I start clinicals this fall and will actually be on my feet.

My family is sort of the same way, although they are supportive. My parents both went to college, but they didn't finish because they met and got married right away. My dad only had one year left,...
