2. Hopelessness r/t nursing school

   jennifer7010 posted a topic in General Students

   I am currently a junior in med-surg and I have loved nursing up to this point. Yes all of my previous nursing classes have been demanding, but I feel I am at my breaking point. This new semester has clinicals twice a week, a test every other week, gr...

   jennifer7010 posted a topic in Government

   I am currently in nursing school right now and have been talking with an air force recruiter about joining when I finish next year. My husband is currently in the military too but he is in the army. I grew up an air force brat and have seen the army ...

4. Odd and funny methods used in nursing school

   jennifer7010 posted a topic in General Students

   I just wanted to see if anyone had any odd or funny stories about the way they were taught in nursing school. For example, while learing about the importance of the proper way to use a bed pan and different bed pans, the instructor had all the studen...

6. first semester of finals,any thoughts?

   jennifer7010 replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

   Oh I hate that! They quit calling them "study guids" and now changed them to "test maps" at my school. I have had them in all of my nursing classes so far and it is basically just the bold topics in the text book. Did your teacher give out any test h...

7. Big Decision - Would love advice

   jennifer7010 replied to catalina123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you should just be honest with your instructors and let them know you have a panic disorder. They might be able to give you advice about students in the past that have had this and how they made it through nursing school. I'm in mental health...

9. Please Share Your 5 Most Effective Study Strategies

   jennifer7010 replied to jd2nurse's topic in General Students

   1) Read ahead, just the chapter you will be going over, so you will have an idea of what the teacher will be going over and you will already have info on it. 2) NCLEX books help alot, but they are pretty expensive. My school library has multiple NCLE...

10. Graduated cot on friday!!!

    jennifer7010 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government

    Thank you so much for all the info, it really helps! I just had a couple of questions... 1) You said earlier they did yell at you, did they do this only in the beginning or was it the whole time? 2) Did you have to do any field problems? 3) Is it ca...

11. Any med-surg students?

    jennifer7010 posted a topic in General Students

    I just enrolled in med-surg and I am scared to death! We have been told (from people before us) that it is the hardest semester in the nursing program. So I was just wondering if there were any students that have taken med surg? We were told we would...

12. A&P I Frustrations!

    jennifer7010 replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't get too discouraged, A&P is a very difficult class. I actually failed part one and part two, but I am so stubborn I just kept trying. Thankfully the failed classes didn't transfer and I was still able to get on the nursing waitlist. Fast fo...

13. Does this sound like a typical Clinical experience?

    jennifer7010 replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    Maybe ask the patient when they normally bathe. Maybe he is the type that likes to do his hygiene at night and that is his routine. So doing the bed bath may have been more of an inconvience than help in his mind. Who knows. However, yes there are go...

14. How long did it take you to get into your nursing program?

    jennifer7010 replied to RetroReactive's topic in General Students

    Long enough to get a second degree! I'm not kidding, after I had all my pre-reqs done I waited 3 years. But I had to take a class each semester to stay "active" on the waitlist so I just decided to get a degree while I waited. Hopefully you won't hav...

15. 2 year wait comes to a close, this alternate just called for Jan 2010!!!

    jennifer7010 replied to livinglighthouse's topic in General Students

    Congrats on getting in! As far as supplies goes, it kind of varies. I don't want to tell you any specific book because you will be buying a ton of them and if your college requires a PDA like mine, you will probably have to download programs too. So ...
