  1. Help w/PICOT

    Hi I am in my capstone for my BSN and I am having trouble with my PICOT and have not got much help from my instructor. I have always had trouble with PICOT questions and when I don't get helpful feedback from my instructor that doesn't help me. My PI...
  2. What do you do in Clinicals?

    In this economy you really have to be willing to do anything. NICU, PICU and nursery is usually just a small portion of your clinical experience.
  3. What do you do in Clinicals?

    We started block 1 with classroom lectures and lab. We learned basic skills in the lab portion and then once we were signed off (had to be signed off by a certain date) then clinicals started. We went to our local hospital and did all the skills that...
  4. Nclex RN June 2011 lets study together.

    Just like someone else said don't over study it really isn't necessary. I would have to say that Kaplan is the most like the NCLEX, and yes kaplan is hard but worth it. I think the videos are also important to watch. I just took my NCLEX last week an...
  5. Student Careplans...Mosby, Davis, Lippincott?

  6. Just got in! ! ! Jitters! !

    I am a banner fellow at EMCC in the middle of block 4 now. 1. What type of PDA is the best or most useful? Where can I buy it? Cost? Never used a PDA. I did invest in a lap top. 2. Study groups? Very important to get with a...
  7. Funny how time flies by when your super busy with nursing school. I am actually done in March because I am in the accelerated program. Just finished my last clinical days in ICU last week. Block 4 seems to be rushing by me. We signed up for preceptor...
  8. Scottsdale Community College Accelerated Program

    I can only comment on the accelerated program part of your post. I am in the EMCC accerlerated Banner Fellows program which is 16 months. It is very fast paced and it seems like we never get a break but I am already in Block 4 and I just started last...
  9. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Dont be sorry for asking what to expect. It is normal to be nervous and wanting to be prepared. I wasnt prepared when I had my interview and actually thought I was until they started asking questions that dealt with their mission statement LOL. It do...
  10. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    back2class, I am really enjoying the nursing program and the people I have met. There is a lot of work involved but I still find time to watch tv, spend time with family, and go to the movies on occasion. Life doesnt stop like some would say it just ...
  11. CGCC: Enter at your own risk!

    Nursing school is not easy at all and you have to learn what works for you when it comes to studying because a lot of the material is self taught or self directed learning. Nursing school teaches critical thinking. I would say that it isnt as hard as...
  12. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    I am sad to see the Banner Fellows program ending after the July cohort. I got the same email as a previous post did. I am very thankful that I was able to get in and only have one more month of block 2. Banner nurse fellows is a wonderful program an...
  13. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    OCD_MOM I am not to sure if we have to go to that peds hospital or not. Probably but if I could just stay at Banner Estrella for all of the other rotations I would be happy. I am pretty sure they are going to make us rotate between the three hospital...
  14. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    OCD_mom How excting to be starting clinicals, we are preparing now. We will have break and then come back and a few weeks later we start out clinicals. It is funny that you just met your clinical instructors we have been with ours since the beginning...
