I don't believe my school, inflates grades at all, but I also don't think the concepts are that hard, so I'll answer your question... My school has an NCLEX pass rate of 98% the first time and 100%...

Do you read the required readings in the required books for your classes? Are they huge books? Do you have to read at least 2-3 chapters a week? Are you lectured about the readings that were due? Are...

Also, I use one binder per class. That way, I don't forget anything if I get mixed up.

I do almost exactly this as well... It's as if you are me... :cautious: The only things I do differently are instead of having dividers for every week, I have the dividers for each test in each...

Don1984 may be correct in that you don't have to shadow as I'm not completely sure, but some schools may list shadowing a nurse as a requirement or a recommended thing you do to have a better chance...

I spent half a semester on a GI floor and it wasn't too bad. Actually, probably the most laid back floor, patients and nurse wise (the nurses were very kind), I have had yet in clinical. You say it...

Well since you have it tomorrow, there is not much I can tell you that would help you. If you studied adequately for it and know the information, I don't think you will have a problem passing,...

In addition to the previous poster's responses, having a CNA license and experience may help you further your education to a ADN or BSN degree. You can add that information in your applications and...

Minus the CPR patient, wouldn't the asthma kid come before the breathing elderly lady? Just wondering since asthma is technically Airway because of the constriction of the bronchioles, wouldn't that...

Just because you did not do well or are not naturally gifted does not mean you can't do it. I actually dropped my Chemistry course my last semester of my senior year or else it would have a been an...

Me too... But the difference between you and I is mine collect dust... But you never know when you will have to look back at something.

Yes there is!!! They're making me look bad... :cry: ;)

Yes, don't use that eraser. If you think an answer is what you think it is, leave it at that. Plus it feels worse when you erase it and then it was the right answer than if you just plain got it...

If you're only asking about the first semester, the real answer is, to relax. I'm in a 4-year BSN program so I don't know if the schedule is the same for an ADN program but for me, the nursing class...

To put it bluntly, what will kill her? Those will always be priority. They may not have anything to do with ABC's, but some of the ND you listed have a potential to cause serious complications and/or...

Isn't that the beauty of nursing? That it is so broad that you can do so many different things. Sure, you aren't on top of the food chain, but that doesn't make it any less of a profession. The...

Here is a rough draft. You need to use descriptive terms (i.e. smooth, bulging) and if something that isn't there that shouldn't be anyways, I always note that it is not there. Also, remember that...

Yes. AN needs a whole thread topic forum for ranting. Then the negatives can go in one pile and the positives in another. That way future nurses won't think that the profession is full of drama...

I came across a similar situation in which I HAD had the vaccination series but for some reason showed up as I was negative for the immunization. I began my series and was also allowed to start...

What might help is knowing how you learn best. Do you learn by reading, writing, seeing, hearing, doing, ect.? For A&P, it was very helpful to me to see pictures and models of the different organs...

AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Possibly while you take your pre-requisites for nursing, you could complete an associates degree (if you aren't in a 4 year BSN program). But, with nursing classes, I wouldn't try it.

For fundamentals? Where do you go to school at?!!?!?!?!

Study? Eh, 20 hours a week. Read? 70 hours a week. :(
