Class of 2014

Almost! I graduate in August of 2014. So I have a little over a year left. I'm not too excited yet...too much work left to do! lol

Oh, and I'm in my 3rd year of a BSN program.

I have this book it does have a lot of work in it...

Do you think it might be helpful for ensuring a good foundation after you've finished adult classes?

I have this book it does have a lot of work in it...

This is our new text book this semester actually. Our last book was just too hard to read...lots of repeating and contradictory info.

Forgive my broken brain if I get this link wrong but I believe it is this:

Ah ok. I was actually considering getting that. We already have our topic list for next semester and a ton of drugs to memorize, so my summer is already booked, but my friend has the study guide and she loves it. It's not very "NCLEXy" so we don't use it much for test prep but she loves using it when she's doing her reading.

I graduate in may 2014 also! Well if everything goes right. ::fingers crossed::

Do you think it might be helpful for ensuring a good foundation after you've finished adult classes?

I would describe it as like a workbook with any science class. It does have great information but not as NCLEX like. Don't get me wrong if you can get the questions and answers you will have a good foundation. The information can be found in the book which is very nice. I used this book and NCLEX book to study.

What classes are you all taking this fall? I am taking adult health II (advanced med surg), adult health II clinicals every other Th and Fri from 0630-1830, advanced pathophysiology, and a nursing leadership and management class. I am definitely very excited to get back into the hospital and especially to get into the ICU, PACU, ER, etc this semester as I was in community health and mental health last semester so I was not really in a hospital other than the locked psychiatric unit.

I'm taking maternal health and med surg 2. I will have lecture Tuesday from 9am to 11am and Wednesday from 9am to 12noon with pre clinical from 1pm to 2pm than clinical Thursday and Friday from 8am to 3 pm. Thank god I finished all my pre req's.

I have one more upper division GE that I'm taking this summer so I'm happy to get it out of the way and be finished. I absolutely loved maternal health JerseyGirl6! Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did.

We are going to class Tuesday-Thursday our clinical is 12 hours 0630-1830. This semester will focus on mental health for two weeks and med surg II the rest of the semester. Our college is apart of a health system so we have been in the hospital every semester :) I am grateful for the experience we are getting. In our last semester we get to interview for the specialty we want and stay there all semester! I am so excited to go to icu possibly. The classes ahead of us all got job offers before the end of the semester. The finish line is so close!!! I can't wait :)

@danielle11 hopefully so! I'm interested in maternal health so I will be looking closely at what goes on in being a nurse in this department to see if I like it or not. I had mental health and peri operative last semester and geriatrics my semester before that and after that I became interested in psych nursing.

I was in the hospital doing clinicals since my first semester so I'm not super excited nor am I feeling nothing I just in between. I really think I'm just winding down from last semester and relaxing and probably get back in the groove when I get closer to next semester.

I will have mental health and maternity this coming semester. My program is more oriented toward young kidless people and so all of the electives are in the evenings. We are required to take 1 elective so I'm opting to do an independent study instead, so that will occupy the remainder of my time. Our clinicals are 8-hour clinicals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I do the morning ones from 7-3. This fall we'll have lectures on MWF, but spring we only have lecture MW. Going to be weird having 3-day weekends every weekend.
