  1. My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    Guest123456788 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    You should literally not do a thing besides help her with her homework IF SHE ASKS YOU TO. At this rate you are going to have her turned off to nursing and school in general while she's in high school...

  2. Tips for new nursing student

    Guest123456788 replied to guest1048844's topic in General Students

    I agree, it is a better idea to relax and enjoy the time you have left before the program starts. Nursing school is fun and exciting but also a lot of work and very exhausting so get as much self-care...

  3. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Guest123456788 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a whole different problem in itself unfortunately. My MSN-DNP program is roughly $250k for 4 years, which is a fortune. But if I had chosen to go to an accelerated BSN I would have had to pay...

  4. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Guest123456788 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure where the 8 months came from because Emory's website says that it is a 15 month accelerated BSN followed by a year or two for MSN, which sounds much more

  5. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Guest123456788 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also another thing to keep in mind. Direct entry programs ARE NOT created equal. Some programs are almost entirely online, for profit, and designed to crank out NPs with no clinical skills as fast as...

  6. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Guest123456788 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There have actually been studies that have shown prior RN experience has no impact on transition to the NP role after graduating. What does have an impact is a formal orientation provided by the...

  7. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    Guest123456788 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    Clicking on the first thread which was all about how he didn't see anyone else of an "elite knowledge" in his classes apart from himself, on top of his response that he "hands down" has the best...

  8. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    Guest123456788 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    Where you see extraordinary I see arrogant, something I have found in a lot of EMTs turned nurses. Like I said, you can be book smart all day, but arrogance and lack of desire to try in nursing school...

  9. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    Guest123456788 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    And you are only in second semester and not done with second semester yet. Classes get harder. So, like I said, good luck with the NCLEX. Also, even if you do pass the NCLEX I personally wouldn't want...

  10. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    Guest123456788 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    Lol good luck with the NCLEX

  11. Columbia University MDE 2017

    Guest123456788 replied to futureprovider's topic in School, College Programs

    We haven't had second summer yet as you know, but from my understanding we have advanced pharmacology, advanced physical assessment, and care coordination. The rest of the time is left unscheduled...

  12. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    Guest123456788 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    Commuting*

  13. How does your program teach/evaluate injections?

    Guest123456788 replied to amok's topic in General Students

    We practiced on each other in my program but only for intradermal (PPD) placements. No one was forced to participate but if you didn't give your arm to someone else you also didn't get to use another...

  14. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    Guest123456788 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    Just want to throw this out there for people thinking of community from NJ/farther away, most of the people I know in the program now who started with that plan have since moved closer with the...

  15. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    Guest123456788 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, I'm also a current MDE student at Columbia in my second semester. If you have questions feel free to private message me (it's too hard to keep up with comments on

  16. Worst day ever!

    Guest123456788 replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Your life must be pretty charmed if this is the "worst day ever." My advice is to grow up from this experience; stop snooping through people's phones, stop enabling other people to cheat by sending...

  17. ABG Value Question

    Guest123456788 replied to Shawn91111's topic in General Students

    Yeah I still don't think this is accurate, at least not how I learned to interpret ABGs. When the pH is fully compensated you go with whether the value is closer to being acidosis or alkalosis and in...

  18. ABG Value Question

    Guest123456788 replied to Shawn91111's topic in General Students

    Unless I'm missing something I think whatever answer key you are using is incorrect, this is leaning toward acidosis and should be metabolic acidosis. But they are correct that it is fully...

  19. Columbia University MDE Class Hours

    Guest123456788 replied to cjones89's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm doing the Psych DNP after the MDE! I will be starting the DNP in September of next year. New York life is hard to explain unless you come here yourself, but it is very very busy and different from...

  20. Feeling Like My Notes Aren't Cutting It

    Guest123456788 replied to DotFlower's topic in General Students

    I print the powerpoints out (3 slides per page) and take notes during class, then rewrite all of my notes into study sheets that are grouped in a way that makes sense to me. Then I go over my study...

  21. Columbia University MDE Class Hours

    Guest123456788 replied to cjones89's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, I'm in the MDE program right now. We have class/clinicals Monday-Friday, nothing on the weekends. Classes are typically from 8 am-4 or 5 pm (ish) and clinicals are around 7 am-3:30 pm depending on...

  22. What cheers up when you're having a rough time in NS?

    Guest123456788 replied to PurplePens's topic in General Students

    I don't know that I have specific techniques or anything, but I do think it is super important to relax right before and after an exam. You have to balance studying hard with taking care of yourself...

  23. Trouble with A&P I

    Guest123456788 replied to guest517's topic in General Students

    First thing, just trying to pass is not going to benefit you later on in nursing school because you need to know anatomy and physiology for your nursing classes. So focus on actually learning the...

  24. Nursing school information

    Guest123456788 replied to Liz30303's topic in General Students

    This is another one of those conspiracy theorist people who think nursing schools are trying to steal all of our money and take over the world isn't it?

  25. Study aids & tools

    Guest123456788 replied to Inspktr's topic in General Students

    For Med Term I made my own flashcards because writing things out by hand is super helpful in memorizing them. As far as once you're in the nursing program, the Davis Success series is great for...
