1. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

   mama2_3 replied to jp6492's topic in Virginia

   What question do you have, rabia3112? There are no easy nursing classes. If general studies classes seem easy, that is great. Keep in mind that you will have to take them at the same time with nursing classes.

2. NVCC graduates, when did you take NCLEX?

   mama2_3 replied to mama2_3's topic in Virginia

   It sounds like you had a good plan. I am doing Saunders (the blue one) too. Doing Kaplan "everything." So much material to go over! Thank you for replying. It feels comforting. If I am nervous thinking about NCLEX now, I wonder how I will actually f...

   mama2_3 replied to mama2_3's topic in Virginia

   Our transcripts were not sent yet (no email notification). Ready or not, I have to test in June. I only found few centers in VA. There are many? To be honest, I am a little concerned about ever being ready. Taking Kaplan review right now but feel li...

6. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

   mama2_3 replied to jp6492's topic in Virginia

   I think you should go to GMU and talk to someone. As you said, it is less tan 5 miles away. You will feel so much better. It is nice to have a plan. I just got my ADN from NVCC. Now I have to pass NCLEX. GMU is great, but there are other options.

9. Extreme Anxiety during clinicals

   mama2_3 replied to kbullinger's topic in Student Assist

   I am nervous every time too. What helps me, is to talk it out. I tell my nurse what I am going to do before I go to the patient's room and ask her to watch me. It helps me to talk about the procedure before performing it. The more you do the task th...

10. Student Dilemma

    mama2_3 replied to SashaBreal's topic in Virginia

    It really is a good idea to take some prerequisits right now. Northern Virginia Community College, for example, offers classes online. You could take online classes from anywhere and take care of your baby at the same time. Although some science clas...

    mama2_3 replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia

    Flames, congratulations on passing NCLEX. Sorry I am off the topic, but we all (nursing students)will have to go through it eventually, right? After graduation, did you take some sort of review class? How much time did it take you to get ready? I k...

12. NVCC Fall '09

    mama2_3 replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia

    We were wondering the same thing our first year. We didn't learn anything yet, why are we taking that test? It was not hard, but I took my time and did very well. Some questions were about prioritizing. Let's say you have four patients. Who do you at...

13. NOVA Accelerated vs Traditional

    mama2_3 replied to ehlim412's topic in Virginia

    Traditional and accelerated started at the same time last Fall. A few people were able to switch after first semester from traditional to accelerated because of the family situation ( husband deployed e.t.c ). I am in traditional and I like it. I do ...

14. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    mama2_3 replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia

    I think Saturdays were for accelerated program students only last year. They graduate one semester sooner than traditional students BUT they have to work harder during the summer. Are you planning on getting BSN eventually? Maybe you could continue ...
