It varies from semester to semester, but in NP1 you will have 4 weeks of lab 2 times a week and then the next 6 weeks with lab once per week. Lectures are 2 days a week, 3 hours each time. Clinicals...

If the professor talks about it in class or it's on the powerpoint.. highlight it. If it has to do with what a nurse is supposed to do in a situation, highlight it (Interventions). Think of it as an...

Quality of instruction, clinical experience, realistic practice opportunities, the way the exams are written.. There are a LOT of things, but since I know my school I will say this. It has one of the...

I really enjoyed my LTC clinical. We had 3 weeks in the same facility with the same pt each time, which is something we do not get in the hospital rotation. You learn to appreciate the population...

Quail Ridge Apartments at Memorial and May is also very reasonable. Several 1 bedroom options ranging from $440-$490 per month. Easy access to the freeway as well, plus shopping and dining right...

Where are you looking for apartments? Let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.

Yes and no. I can definitely see your point, however when you compare salary to how well you can afford things that are necessary, you will most likely have plenty for the necessities and quite a bit...

I agree... Dimensional Analysis rocks!!!

The Quail Springs Area is generally a pretty safe neighborhood. What is also nice is that you have EVERYTHING close by... literally. The mall, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Target and a slew of fast food and...

Just to give you a comparison... As an RN in OKC you will make roughly about $20/hr right? My husband and I live off one income and own a house with all that entails and have 3 kids and he makes...

Hey and welcome to OK!! I am from NY myself, so I can identify. I am just a student, but I have lived in Oklahoma a number of years now and I am a pseudo-storm chaser :) Anyway... 1- The tornadoes...

I agree. Just relax and enjoy your time now. Unless there has been specific readings assigned, I wouldn't be reading anything related to nursing at all until I had to. Time spent with family and...

Memorization is great for pre-reqs, but in nursing school you have to be able to apply knowledge into practical application. Some memorizing is good, for things like normal lab value ranges etc.. but...

Yeah I see what you are saying. I really do appreciate all that you and the others you mentioned do to assist us students. I will be referencing back to this thread when we are doing fluid and...

That is actually not a bad idea to have some educators here on AN do some quick videos over some of the subjects that are harder to grasp for some students. I know I would greatly appreciate it!

No, you don't need a $100 stethoscope. You don't want the cheapest one out there either, but the basic Littman ones are more than adequate. As for books, that varies from program to program but you...

Congratulations!! 1-Stay organized.. Doesn't matter how, just that you do it. Your planner should be your bible. Professors in nursing school will not remind you of due dates, and it is up to you...

I have this one Amazon.com: 3M Littmann Lightweight 11 SE Stethoscope, 28", Black, #L2450: Health & Personal Care in lilac. Works really well. If you go to a uniform store (Uniform Shoppe on N. May...

I play World of Warcraft myself. I am currently going into my second semester. To successfully pull it off, you need to be disciplined. I would play WoW and listen to my lectures at the same time....

I prefer "Nursing Diagnosis Handbook" by Betty Ackley. I also have "Nursing Diagnosis Manual" by Doenges. They don't tell you necessarily how to construct the careplan, since every school might have...

I have to say I both agree and disagree. One does not per say "Need" friends to get through nursing school successfully, but if one can find that one or two people, it can be very helpful. Let's face...

Funny, I still got your PM. Silly AN.

If anyone would like a "mentor" feel free to friend me and PM me. I'd love to help all of you in any way I can. Not even 6 months ago, I was in your shoes. NP1 is challenging, but it's also fun!! ...

I am not saying not to take General Chem, just that it's waaaaay more difficult that Principles is. You want to maximize your chances of getting A's too, especially in the sciences. :)

My school admits 72 students per semester (Spring and Fall) and after this semester was over we had 64 that are moving on to 2nd semester and about 11 people joining us from either failing second...
