Each school is different in what they cover 1st semester/year. But, from what I have gathered, they all have the same goal in the 1st semester...get you involved with the patients. Like it's been...

Like it's been said, start applying. The worst they can say is "no." I already have a contingent offer, and I'm a year out. Mine is because I know someone. Lol

Great advice so far. I have a Littman 3200 because I have ear problems. Unless you are in the same boat, don't waste the money. It's a great scope for me, but all you're going to get are the same...

I know this will sound rude, but why do people take the time to tell someone to do a search, or even search for links to threads when they could have taken less time to just answer the question?...

Amen, brother! When I first started, I thought I was going to be scared of everything. But I find myself insanely excited each and every time I slip into my scrubs. And yesterday was the culmination...

I can understand your feelings completely. I bust my rear end to just barely get by. And I mean it.... Sorry for the French, but I BUST MY ASS! All to just barely get by. All I can do when I get...

There has been a LOT of good advice in this thread. But, what a lot of people need to realize is that no matter how good one's study skills are, it is not a determinant on what someone's grades are,...

As a first semester student, I can give this advice... All advice given so far is spot on. But, what you have to realize is that what works for some does not work for others. I have had so many...

For ME, it's mucus. Not your normal sputum, but the thick, chunky stuff. The stuff that clogs up suction tubes and you have to pull them out and pull it off so you can suction again. That and oral...

Thank you, Lex!

Thank You, Brian!

I keep a sandwich baggie with some alcohol pads and some Tiger Balm just in case I run into a smell that I can't handle. (In addition to the same stuff you mentioned.)

Now THAT is cool!

Just over 4 years ago, my dad passed away. He and I were closer than close. We were the essence of "best friends." If you have seen the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness," that was almost identical to...

Stupid auto correct. Dickies pants. Lol

I have now found that Sketchers and Dickinson pants fit REALLY well.

I have no problem at all learning the material, or even applying the info in real life. But, when it comes to taking a paper tests, I suck miserably. I REALLY want to improve that! Does anyone know...

It has taken me awhile to get to this point, but I am just now starting to feel comfortable. The trick is to figure out the most efficient way to gather the material into your brain. There actually...

Im no bodybuilder, but have plenty of muscle. (Im 5'9", 250lbs.) I wear a size large in Cherokee tops. I have recently discovered that Dickies made FOR MEN and Sketchers made FOR MEN fit me REALLY...

I bought a pair in Nike's at Footlocker. They have 2 different kinds that are solid white. (And I mean SOLID white!) They are all leather with no holes or mesh either.

Actually, no. I don't think you're feeling wrong at all. I have felt the same way, and Im going into week 4. I was just saying this in another thread....it's ok to be worried/scared a little. But try...

Honestly, the best thing ya'll can do for yourselves is destress. It's ok to worry, but try not to stress about school. It's just going to take up needed brain space. Lol Seriously ya'll, YOU MADE...

Them crazy nursing students from N.C....all weird and stuff! Haha It's true, the people that find nursing to be like their "new love" are going to really enjoy their new career.

I can't remember 100%, but I think I have the last one that you mentioned. (A lot of my books are in the trunk of my car, and it's raining!) I will look that other one up tomorrow, thanks!

One of our books that we bought is an NCLEX study guide with a little bit of info plus some practice questions that are better than the questions at the end of each chapter in "the big book." Does...
