El Centro students Spring '06

BrieRN07 · Sep 23, 2006

Yes, I decided that reading was just bogging me down with everything else we are expected to do and I stopped doing it. I do read something if I don't quite understand the concept but I limit it to only that. I am wondering if we have the same powerpoints? I would share mine if you wanted to compare. Do you think we have the same test? I was thinking they were all different.

My instuctor told us that all campuses have the same test and that we would be taking them at the same time except at NL I believe... We had our test last Tuesday. My instructor also said that all of the tests for this semester are already made... I would love to see yours, so pm me you email and I will send you mine too. Do you want the Word or Powerpoint version?

There must be some minor differences. By the way, NLC slides are on eCampus. I think every 2nd semester student can see them. It's under NLC and power points.
Katie

It says folder empty. Are we not supposed to have access to the other powerpoints??

Brianna,
I was hoping that was the book you were talking about. I bought that book this summer. I know you are upset about your test grade but don't be too hard on yourself. You made all A's last semester and was the only one in this group that did (that I am aware of). Keep your chin up Brianna and don't give up!
Amy

Thanks for the kind words, but it's hard not to be upset! I've never scored this poorly in my entire life...

Katie and Allison,

How are the people in your classes that failed? How are they handling this? I know that we aren't the only classes that are experiencing this.... NL S1's are having some issues too. Our class average is a 74 which I honestly don't believe. I haven't talked to anyone that has made a 76 or higher.... I'm so confused as to what to do about this...

I have a question about Meds Pub. I have visited the website (http://www.medspub.com). The resources for RN studets are pretty pricey. Did you guys have to buy this or is this something you can get access to once you are in the RN program?

you will be required to pay for access at the start of the programm, I believe it was around $ 70.00

Brie, have you logged on eCampus, lecture, NLC and power points? I can see everything there. My intructor changes the content from time to time so I don't print them out until the day before the class. By the way we have our lecture on Tuesday, too. And I already have my 2nd blueprint online. Scaaaary. :uhoh21:

I don't know how my classmates who failed are doing. I talked to two people from my clinical group and they got A and B. Our class average was 79. I will talk to more people on Tuesday. Can you give any feedback to your lecture instructor?

Katie,

I can't gain access into the NLC stuff either. Are you able to access ECC material? Our 2nd blueprint hasn't been posted yet! Do you think you could send me a copy of the blueprint you were given for test 2? I am wondering if we're all given the same blueprints too.

Our class average was 73. I don't know if I said that or not...

It's strange. I can see power points under "distance", but I cannot see them under "ECC".

Allison, I sent you an email.

Katie

AllyRN82, MSN, APRN · Sep 24, 2006

Oh yeah, under distance I am able to pull up some powerpoints. I don't even have an NLC tab :rolleyes:

When is everyone's first pharm test? I really hope I pass it the first time....how are y'all studying for it? Are you guys going to the pharm review?

Thank you so much Katie!!!!!!!!!

We have to go to ECC on October 9 to take the pharm test. So it looks like we are going to get together like a big happy family to take the test at ECC. I want to go to the review, too. I am studying the cards but I hardly have any time to read them on weekdays. How are you all doing it?

Katie

AllyRN82, MSN, APRN · Sep 24, 2006

Wow. I didn't know we were all going to be together for that. I am getting soooo nervous about it. I have been studying the pharm packet from ecampus. I was told by a 3rd semester student that that was the best thing to study and that the pharm review is extremely helpful. Supposedly they thoroughly prepare us for the exam....I am really hoping so. I am wishing I would have taken a pharm class over the summer! Oh well....
