1. Greenville, Columbia, or Charleston?

   KathyRN2B replied to redshott's topic in South Carolina

   We did lose several people the first qtr...some things come easier for some than for others. There are a lot of people that have healthcare experience and far less that have none. There are only 3 in my class that have none, me included. There are al...

2. Greenville, Columbia, or Charleston?

   KathyRN2B replied to redshott's topic in South Carolina

   It's intense lol! It's a lot of information to absorb. 2nd qtr. puts your organization and prioritizing to the test (personally speaking). At least it did for our class. So far this qtr. things are ok....we'll see after this week...we have our fir...

4. Greenville, Columbia, or Charleston?

   KathyRN2B replied to redshott's topic in South Carolina

   Once you have completed all pre-req's you APPLY for the nursing program. If you have already completed them then you can apply for the next nursing class. No different than being pre-nursing anywhere else and you still have to apply for a seat. No ...

5. ATI for each class

   KathyRN2B posted a topic in General Students

   We found out right before finals that starting next qtr. we will have to take an ATI test for each class and it will count for 10% of our grade. Anyone have any feedback? Good, bad, ugly? Should I start going over it now? They gave us our ATI for F...

9. am i doing this right?

   KathyRN2B replied to this.is.love's topic in General Nursing

   I second this advice. My hubby just retired last year. It's tough having to work around Uncle Sam. I started pre-req's prior to his retirement and here I am starting nursing school on Monday. Compare programs in your area, both ADN and BSN and go fr...

    I start an accelerated BSN program on Monday, Oct. 1. I just picked up books yesterday. We are strongly discouraged from working at all, even PT. 18mos, no breaks except for the couple of weeks between qtrs. I don't know if they allow externships th...

11. My Final Countdown!!!!

    KathyRN2B replied to KathyRN2B's topic in General Students

    Thanks again, Kathy. I am definitely not that student. I always come to class prepared. I do understand that NS is a completely different beast entirely and I'm open to the fact that I may have to alter some of my study habits. And that's fine. I app...

12. My Final Countdown!!!!

    KathyRN2B replied to KathyRN2B's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Kathy! Cramming doesn't work for me either. I read everything before lecture, take notes, go home, review, and type my notes out on the computer. Everyday. It's a lot of work, but it helps it to stick and knocks some of the cobwebs and dust-b...

    Update..... Picked up books this a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. 12 books, $773.00. Thank the Lord for financial aid! With so many books, hard to tell which goes with which class. Some are obvious, ie. Fundamentals and Health Assessment. ...

15. My Final Countdown!!!!

    KathyRN2B replied to KathyRN2B's topic in General Students

    Thanks Zoe, Bandaid and Charlie! I'm excited/nervous still. I can't believe the time has finally come! I didn't expect to be so nervous though. I'm hoping to give an update after I start. I've been here forever reading everyone's posts on their first...
