   While I appreciate your experience and honesty, I was simply curious as to when the actual writing of care plans begins in school. I was also interested in others responses and experiences from their programs. In my program, we have just begun to inc...

3. We are told not to

   ilivet0surfxx replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

   I do study the night before an exam, but it's mostly just reviewing the few concepts that I might still be a little shaky on. Other then that I try to do a bunch of NCLEX questions that apply to the material we covered. :) My one friend told me she w...

4. Backpack for Nursing Books & Stuff.

   ilivet0surfxx replied to Cwood0188's topic in General Students

   I personally don't have the need for a rolling backpack, but I know a few students in my class do have them and they work great for them! I think Jansport is pretty much the only brand I've seen but I'm sure there are many others. I've always been a ...

5. When does care planning begin?

   ilivet0surfxx posted a topic in General Students

   I just began my first semester of school about eight weeks ago and I'm just curious when we as students can be expected to begin care plans? I know it varies from program to program (mine is a two year ASN) but would it begin during Med-Surg rotation...

6. first year student

   ilivet0surfxx replied to melnfra's topic in General Students

   I agree, you're definitely not alone! It IS overwhelming. I'm almost eight weeks into my first semester. It didn't make it any better that my school was combining with another school and during the transition period they forgot to tell us that aside ...

   Your best bet is to talk to your instructor. See if he/she will give you an example or two of how his exam questions will be set up. Application questions can have different meanings to different professors and just express that you're nervous and wa...

9. Chances? Feeling so hopeless!

   ilivet0surfxx replied to Ack_RN's topic in General Students

   I think it depends on the school. Some schools look at GPA, test scores and pre-reqs all around. Others just focus more on GPA. My school looked at a combination of everything. I was accepted with a 2.9 and having just completed Health Science Chem. ...

10. Just out of curiosity. What is passing at your school?

    ilivet0surfxx replied to Conrad283's topic in General Students

    77% (C+) for nursing courses, pass/fail for clinical, 100% for dosage calculations (taken four times, once per nursing course), and I believe 70% for all general ed/non nursing courses.

11. Is anyone else completely overwhelmed with clinicals?

    ilivet0surfxx replied to 08gradihope's topic in General Students

    I can almost guarantee you that everyone in your clinical group feels the same way you do or has at one point or another. As a first year nursing student in a two-year ASN (or is it ADN? I'll have an associate's when I'm finished and be able to take ...
