It's great that you got A's on your anatomy and physiology classes. I liked being able to review notes before class (my school uses Blackboard). That way, I could get clarification from the text book for what I didn't understand. It also gave me t...

I understand your frustration. Last semester at school, the nursing theory classes seemed to be focused on medicine and surgery units. My clinical placement was continuing care so there wasn't a lot of practical application of the theory being taug...
For our hospital placement, we have to wear white with the school crest on the left sleeve. Only one location for the first semester could wear anything else, including prints (as long as it isn't plain black). We all hate the white, but it makes u...

A calendar that's a decent size to keep you organized. I bought a blank one that was actually a desk pad. I wrote the dates of upcomming assignments, tests and my clinical schedule on it so I could plan my studying accordingly. I found it a huge ...

Get organized. In picked up a calendar that had blank pages from Staples that was supposed to be used as a desk pad. I put all of the dates for tests, assignments, clinicals, everything on it and put it where I'd see it all of the time. It was onl...
