1. New ER Nurse

   tmccstu2018 posted a topic in Emergency

   So I've been a nurse for a year now. I've been on a medical surgical floor but I now have the opportunity to transfer to the ER. I shadowed a few weeks ago and love it. I didn't think the ER would be for me but the pace of it and the excitement was a...

2. Study Tips for Pathophysiology?

   tmccstu2018 posted a topic in General Students

   Fellow nursing students, I wanted to see if any of you had any helpful tips and suggestions on what helped you with being successful in patho. This will be my second semester in my nursing program. The cohort above us had a really rough go with path...

3. Pharmacology

   tmccstu2018 replied to Ceelangatpharm's topic in General Students

   I started off my pharm class by using flash cards and strictly trying to memorize. I really knew the material but I ended up bombing my first exam because I didn't know how to apply the information. What helped me was concept mapping each class of dr...

4. Will I not be able to get financial aid

   tmccstu2018 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

   I worked at the financial aid department at my school for about 2 years. Are you sure there is a deadline to turn it in? I highly recommend talking with the department at your school because they're basically the only ones that can help you. It takes...

5. Best Laptop/Tablet

   tmccstu2018 replied to jensmith9235's topic in General Students

   All programs are different.. but there's a really good chance you're going to need a laptop/computer for a portion of work. With my program, I need it to do clinical paperwork with our specific layouts. I also have to use it with Lockdown Browser to ...

6. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

   Yeah I agree. I am not willing to spend another $500+ on a windows laptop that slows down within 6 months. The one I have now is ridiculous and its specifically from using my nursing school programs.

7. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

   This is exactly what I do for my notes and love it. My clinical stuff and etc just can't be done with what I have right now, unfortunately. Very frustrating because I spent a pretty penny on the Lenovo. But I'm gonna see about what I can do before sp...

8. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

   I've always been a PC person, too. I'm going into my 2nd semester in the program and have ran into so many issues with the homework and book sites crashing and taking 5 minutes to load the next page. I'm going to do what Glucagon said and reinstall t...

9. 2018 spring tmcc nursing program

   tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

   I'm not sure what the cut off was for fall 2017. I do know that advisors and instructors at TMCC were saying that the pool of applicants for the application was extremely large and it was a competitive one.

10. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

    tmccstu2018 posted a topic in General Students

    I've had a Lenovo PC for about 3 years now and I don't think it's going to last much longer. It has significantly slowed down and takes 30 minutes to start up. I've been looking into Macs and I wanted to see if any of you have advice on which model w...

11. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I can definitely relate- my binders for my pre-nursing classes were reams full. I have to have every powerpoint printed out in order. So I'm seeing where annotating electronically will take me. If I unfortunately don't like it, I still have a good de...

12. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Yeah I actually just purchased the iPad and have about a month until the program starts. I'm planning on playing around with it to get used to writing on it. I also love how i can pull images and insert them in my notes to have actual book/video exam...

13. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the feedback! Is studying from it just as effective as a notebook or is it distracting? My only fear is that it'll for some reason make me less susceptible to the information. I know it sounds like an exaggerated worry, but i'm just hoping...

14. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    tmccstu2018 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Yeah it seems like it will be super great to take notes with. I just got myself a keyboard for it as well. I think it'll keep me so organized and productive. I don't know how the ebooks are yet so I really hope it works on it. Either way I have hard ...
