First nursing class in the Fall.

You can do it! I hate that they gave you a reading assignment of so much so quickly. The thing is, a lot of the information in the books, aren't always that important...would be nice to know what to focus on!

Good luck!

Yeah, it's kinda intimidating, you know? I know it's a big book and they only want is to do good and be ahead of te game. That's all they talked about at the orientation...was falling behind on our readings. I'm almost done with chater 2! Lol 11 more to go...it woulda been nice if we at least had a class before they gave us all this reading. They didn't say what to focus on, which I guess means just focus on everything! Thank you, I need all the luck I can get lol

Something I do as I read is type up my notes(important keypoints in the readings).So basically it ends up being a nice little study guide come test time :) But I have a good idea what to read/focus on, and since you are a new nursing student, it will be hard to really know what the important info is.

Ugh. Pre-reading! I'm taking Pharm, Statistics, and Basic Care this summer and somehow I'm also supposed to read 30 chapters worth of Fundamentals, all with the kids home for the summer. Argggg.

Lol, yeah, I have to figure out what's important and what's now. I hope I'm doing a good job so far...and I just said that like an hour ago to y husband. That I should type out my notes and it'll also help me learn the info. better as I'm reading it and typing it

30 chapters?! And I thought mine was bad.... :/

I think 350pg by August is a good amount of time. I think I do 150 a week on average in patho, right now. I think I am glad I don't have something required yet, but I kind of want to know what we are starting with. I couldn't begin to read it with the demands of my summer classes. Good luck I hope you get all your reading done.

Lol I know, I have a lot of time And I'm sure I'll finish it all with notes written and typed out and all, it's just scary a little I guess. Not knowing what to expect. But it's exciting as well. Thank you, good luck to you too!

30 chapters?! And I thought mine was bad.... :/

Yeah, it's a lot. I think it's a doable assignment considering we have three months to do it, but pharmacology has me testing on 15 chapters a week...there's just no way right now. I think I'll be able to get it done during statistics. Should be less reading!

Good luck with your reading! :). Nothing like just diving straight in!

Reading is the easy part. Its remembering everything you've read which is the tough part. Good luck to you.

Yeah I know, I'm taking notes on my readings though. I'm sure they will come in handy.

Hi, I know this thread is kind of old, but I am writing to ask about the pre-reading. I am presently waiting to find out if I have been accepted at CSI, and will know by mid Jan. In the meantime I have gotten slightly ahead of my self and bought a few of the nursing books that may be used for Nursing 110 in the Spring of 15'. Is there anyway you could please tell me which chapters you were asked to read? I figured starting early would help in the event I make it in. Is it the first 13 chapters of the Nursing Fundamental's book ? Thank you so much.
