  1. memorizing??

    krenee replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    I understand both POVs . . . I like to understand things, but some things just need to be memorized . . . like lab values, drug names, etc. I would say I do both!

  2. Made a huge error today...

    krenee replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Awww, I could really feel your pain reading that, and I am quite sure I would have reacted the same way. It really could happen to any of us, and if anyone thinks differently, that's asking for...

  3. To Flu Shot or Not??

    krenee replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    We were just learning about flu shots, and my instructor also said since the flu shot is a dead virus, you can't get the flu from it. I got mine and felt just fine afterwards. I think it might be...

  4. Feel Like I Can't Stop

    krenee replied to artistnurse's topic in General Students

    I'm not done 'til Thursday either (and therefore should be studying right now!) but I remember the feeling well . . . happens at the end of every semester. SUCH a weird feeling. I'm happy, but...

  5. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, but we've been at it a whole year before you! We've paid our dues, LOL. What's nice is the Arlington students who started at the same time as us and are graduating now. I'll bet they're glad...

  6. Finals are coming!

    krenee posted a topic in General Students

    Anyone else freak out this time of the semester? We have an exam this Thursday and the final the next Thursday - worth 40% of the grade . That said, at least I am done with the reading for the...

  7. Woohoo!! I cleaned the shower today!!

    krenee replied to Rianna1's topic in General Students

    Yep, I understand! I just got around to cleaning mine on Saturday too. My toilet was lookin' like a science experiment :imbar. At least they were MY germs. Yeah, it had been awhile . . .

  8. Posting of exam results

    krenee replied to Propranolol's topic in General Students

    We have to wait a whole week every time . . . I agree that it's torture and I complain about it every semester to no avail . . .

  9. Asking for advice

    krenee replied to AlisonVA's topic in Virginia Nursing

    BTW, double check on the requirement. I had English, Psychology, and Biology which were over 10 years old and no one said a word to me about it - and I graduate from the nursing program in May, so I...

  10. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Really? I'm surprised to hear that. I figured by now people would've gotten the hang of studying and passing the tests . . . huh. Yeah, I'll check every damn day and hopefully the clinical I want...

  11. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, thanks . . . if I can't get out of it I will try to go in with a good attitude . . . after all, it's only 7 weeks and soon we will be graduating! I can handle

  12. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well say something to cheer me up because I got NOTHING that I wanted. Nothing! When I hit submit I got some freakin' error about how I had to be approved for the classes I wanted - obviously...

  13. Asking for advice

    krenee replied to AlisonVA's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, I'm 39 and I thought for sure I'd be the oldest in my class in nursing school - I'm not by far . . . there are a lot of 40-somethings and I think definitely some 50-somethings also. I think the...

  14. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    LOL, we're hijacking the 1st year thread! I am doing a preceptorship at Potomac hospital the 2nd half of the semester. Hoping to get in the NICU. Um, I don't remember which clinical I'm going for...

  15. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Good point - I am doing my psych rotation now and pretty much hate it . . . but I loved OB. It seems like the psych instructors keep you the entire time, and I never had that in any other clinicals;...

  16. What is your graduation gift?

    krenee replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I'm taking my famiy to Disney World for 9 days . . . but not until the end of the summer so I can make some $$$ first!

  17. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    krenee replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Fluid & electrolytes is notoriously difficult. If you're passing with a C, it's all good. I didn't find the final all that difficult that semester, IIRC. Best of luck!

  18. I'd just like to remind some of y'all...

    krenee replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Dang, not only do we have our usual class (lecture and possibly lab depending on when we take that), we have an EXTRA class we have to take if we're selected for a preceptorship. It's online, but...

  19. Nurse externships and experience before graduating

    krenee replied to worrywart's topic in General Students

    I will graduate in May and I haven't done an externship. I have three kids who were home over the summer and I couldn't afford the childcare for them. I am doing a preceptorship though which I'm...

  20. how could I be so stupid?

    krenee replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I took NUR 255 (Nursing Management) and a co-requisite that I hadn't finished before I started the program. I recommend that you take everything you can before starting the program - Pharmacology,...

  21. how could I be so stupid?

    krenee replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It is very true that the advisors at NVCC are clueless about the Nursing program - I assume with the exception of the MEC. Everything I knew about getting to the Nursing program, I found out myself...

  22. Is it too late for me?

    krenee replied to Kimba819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a very similar situation, and I was able to get what is called at my school an "academic renewal". Basically if there was a certain number of years I wasn't in school (maybe 5) and then I...

  23. NVCC Fall 2008

    krenee replied to Bpeaceful2All's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hmmm, advice . . . don't get behind in the reading! I'd love to say a few things about some of the professors but that's not allowed here. If you send me a PM I will tell you though! Best of luck!...

  24. Salary in Northern VA

    krenee replied to Bpeaceful2All's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know that both Potomac Hospital and Reston start their new grads at $24/hour. I gather that's the range in the area. Good luck!

  25. NVCC Fall 2007

    krenee replied to chikichiki17's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What do you mean, the MEC campus seems empty right now? You mean over the summer? Well, classes are optional over the summer. Most of us are taking a Nursing Management class online. But our class...
