1. I need some motivation ... some inspiration. I am beyond tired.

   KMtoRN replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

   Look how close you are to finals! You are almost there! :)

2. Class Times

   KMtoRN replied to esigler81's topic in General Students

   We didn't even have a choice of what to sign up for. Our class times were just chosen for us. We do only have class 3 days per week, but the other two days are scheduled as clinical and labe days. I'm not sure how it will work once we actually begin ...

3. Nursing...pre-med, or nursing school?

   KMtoRN replied to Melanie42595's topic in General Students

   This is great advice! I also agree with Emilynn09 - look at the pre-reqs that you will need for both, and work on those first. That will give you a little extra time to job shadow or volunteer, and decide what you want to do.

4. How did you save on textbooks? Ebooks or not?

   KMtoRN replied to CinDRnyc's topic in General Students

   I always recommend bigwords.com. Its kind of like Google for textbooks. It will search all of the sites mentioned and more for the best price on your books. I've always had really good results with it. I actually just got my Med/Surg book brand new f...

5. Nursing school getting expensive

   KMtoRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   Shhh! You don't want the gas companies to hear you!

6. Orientation(s)?

   KMtoRN replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

   We have two - one for everyone at the college and one for just the nursing program.

7. Counting down

9. This wait is KILLING me....ADVICE?

   KMtoRN replied to nurseinthemakin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The week that I knew letters were going out was the worst one for me. I couldn't sleep, I wasn't hungry - I even yelled at my mom for asking a simple question. It was bad. I got a regular letter sized envelope in the mail but it was thick so don't fr...

10. New Student Laptop

    KMtoRN replied to OriginalWingNut's topic in General Students

    I do the whiteboard thing also. I remember so much more when I write things down but I can type soooo much faster.

11. Counting down

    KMtoRN replied to KMtoRN's topic in General Students

    Haha. I was pleasantly surprised that ours are not as ugly as they could be. They are all white but they aren't terrible. They are bad but not terrible! haha

12. New Student Laptop

    KMtoRN replied to OriginalWingNut's topic in General Students

    I second the iPad. I use mine for e-textbooks too and I love it. It is a lot less to carry around and the app I use for my textbooks (kno) will quiz you over things that you have bookmarked. I haven't used this yet, but for the fall I want to get th...

13. Counting down

    KMtoRN posted a topic in General Students

    Can I just say I can't wait for fall to get here! I bought my scrubs today and as I cross more things off my to-do list I get more and more excited. I had to come share because I know y'all would appreciate it - the rest of my family is probably tir...

14. I just don't know what to do

    KMtoRN replied to ncbutterfly's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not sure how your class works, but often a really high grade in lab can pull you up a letter grade in lecture. I wouldn't give up hope yet.

15. Do I take the class over again?

    KMtoRN replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would not take the class over. Most schools won't allow you to take a class over unless you get a D or lower. From my understanding (I start nursing school in the fall), your nursing classes will brush up on the parts of anatomy and physiology tha...
