Class of 2014

Nursing Students General Students

Published

Hey is there any people out there going into their last year of nursing school?!!??!

I'm in an ADN program and though I hope to have only two more semesters to go (god willing I don't fail) I'm so excited I only have one more year till graduation!

So I guess I want to start a tad bit early in celebrating our achievements, ups and downs, successes, breakthroughs, and whatever else we have and will face in our past and future experiences in our nursing programs.

Comment with your stories, hopes, support, prayers, shout outs whatever you feel like saying about our class of 2014!

Specializes in Emergency Department.
I became a class of 2014 because I failed my last semester...so now I have a year left instead of one semester. But I know a lot of people who had to repeat this level so I'm taking it in stride. I will still graduate and reach my goal so I should be thankful. I try to look at it as just having a stronger foundation.

I also became a class of 2014 because I failed a class. The program changed (for the better, IMO) content around, however that meant that I had to fall back 2 semesters instead of one. Had that change not happened, I'd be graduating Dec. 2013... I also look at what happened as an opportunity to have that much stronger nursing foundation. I finished this past semester on a pretty good note and also took to teaching/guiding/mentoring my fellow classmates because I'd had all that material before. That only helped me more because that meant that I had to really know the material... and teaching it definitely reinforces the material. So, while it meant I'm now a 2014 (projected) grad, I'm a far better nurse for it!

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?

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

Specializes in Forensic Psych.

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 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 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.
