1. Feel like I'm barely passing

   Elle16 replied to Run student's topic in General Students

   At the top of the AN page, there is a place to do a search. I put in the search, "I don't know how to study" and many good comments came up. For example, there is this one: https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/i-dont-know-773153.html Look for a ...

2. Study Skills

   Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in General Students

   Hi futureRN, per your advice, I'm going to try to find some people who want to quiz/study together. I think it will take my learning/understanding to the next level; I need to learn to think more critically, like a nurse. I still freeze and my knee j...

5. Study Skills

   Elle16 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello fellow nursing students, I'm a first semester nursing student and am studying fundamentals. I love school and everything I'm learning, (I'm so honored to be studying to become a RN!) but I do not feel as though I'm studying effectively. It take...

6. The "Weigh" Out---A Food Management Support Thread

   Elle16 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Stress 101

   I have huge issues with sugar, especially when stressed (I am!), I just don't know how to help myself. It's late, I will come back tomorrow to read all of the wonderful posts here. So glad I found this thread.

7. Physiology Help

   Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am not able to PM just yet. I am learning about the nervous system. I could use explanations (simplified, at first!) about membrane potential, -70 mV concept), Na+/K+ pumps, action potentials and more! Once the concepts are explained, I am able to...

10. Physiology Help

    Elle16 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking a Physiology class. It doesn't include Anatomy; I took Anatomy last semester. I have also taken Chemistry and Biology. I am having the absolute most difficult time with Physio! I am amazed at how unable to grasp concepts I am! I have never...

11. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Regarding "balance." For those of us with children, I find that it has gotten easier as my children have gotten older. My youngest is 10 and there is so much that they can do on their own. They can put together a salad for dinner or vacuum. I have to...

12. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I get a chuckle from people who make statements about what is true from their point of view and serve it up as THE truth. While I do appreciate "both sides of the coin," I also appreciate when the person who makes the statements backs them up with re...

13. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was surprised to see how many of us "fifty-ish" pre-nursing and nursing students along with RNs there are out there! Your responses have made my day. I am buried under a mountain of anatomy that I need to have penetrate and stick in my brain along ...

14. Moms of little ones, how many pre-reqs do you take at a time?

    Elle16 replied to midlifemom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I take one science and another non-science class and it keeps me very busy. My memory is different now and I find I have to spend much more time with my studies, especially the science classes.

15. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    Elle16 replied to Elle16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Good luck in finding your answers. Deciding to become a nurse was a process and I knew I needed to be certain about what I was doing because the road was going to be a long one. I am going to begin a course of volunteer work at a local hospital to fi...
