So I've been a nurse for a year now. I've been on a medical surgical floor but I now have the opportunity to transfer to the ER. I shadowed a few weeks ago and love it. I didn't think the ER would be for me but the pace of it and the excitement was a...

I've had a Lenovo PC for about 3 years now and I don't think it's going to last much longer. It has significantly slowed down and takes 30 minutes to start up. I've been looking into Macs and I wanted to see if any of you have advice on which model w...

Anyone applied for the Spring 2018 semester for TMCC? We're supposed to be getting our letters on November 9th. Does anyone applying know their scores? I'm sitting at a 7.2

Fellow nursing students, I wanted to see if any of you had any helpful tips and suggestions on what helped you with being successful in patho. This will be my second semester in my nursing program. The cohort above us had a really rough go with path...

I started off my pharm class by using flash cards and strictly trying to memorize. I really knew the material but I ended up bombing my first exam because I didn't know how to apply the information. What helped me was concept mapping each class of dr...

I worked at the financial aid department at my school for about 2 years. Are you sure there is a deadline to turn it in? I highly recommend talking with the department at your school because they're basically the only ones that can help you. It takes...

All programs are different.. but there's a really good chance you're going to need a laptop/computer for a portion of work. With my program, I need it to do clinical paperwork with our specific layouts. I also have to use it with Lockdown Browser to ...

Yeah I agree. I am not willing to spend another $500+ on a windows laptop that slows down within 6 months. The one I have now is ridiculous and its specifically from using my nursing school programs.

This is exactly what I do for my notes and love it. My clinical stuff and etc just can't be done with what I have right now, unfortunately. Very frustrating because I spent a pretty penny on the Lenovo. But I'm gonna see about what I can do before sp...

I've always been a PC person, too. I'm going into my 2nd semester in the program and have ran into so many issues with the homework and book sites crashing and taking 5 minutes to load the next page. I'm going to do what Glucagon said and reinstall t...

I'm not sure what the cut off was for fall 2017. I do know that advisors and instructors at TMCC were saying that the pool of applicants for the application was extremely large and it was a competitive one.

I just got accepted into nursing school and I'm considering my options of getting myself a tablet for notes in class and ebook look ups. I was looking into the iPad Pro with the iPencil seeming like it may be a good fit with having all of my handwrit...

I can definitely relate- my binders for my pre-nursing classes were reams full. I have to have every powerpoint printed out in order. So I'm seeing where annotating electronically will take me. If I unfortunately don't like it, I still have a good de...

Yeah I actually just purchased the iPad and have about a month until the program starts. I'm planning on playing around with it to get used to writing on it. I also love how i can pull images and insert them in my notes to have actual book/video exam...

Thanks for the feedback! Is studying from it just as effective as a notebook or is it distracting? My only fear is that it'll for some reason make me less susceptible to the information. I know it sounds like an exaggerated worry, but i'm just hoping...

Yeah it seems like it will be super great to take notes with. I just got myself a keyboard for it as well. I think it'll keep me so organized and productive. I don't know how the ebooks are yet so I really hope it works on it. Either way I have hard ...

Wow.. that seems like they're not giving us a lot of time to go out and get all of it. Only less than a week from orientation to the first day jeez

Awesome! Is it possible to upload the powerpoints to notability directly from downloading them on the iPad? Or do you have to upload them to notability on a separate computer?

Dang! still can't believe we're still waiting on that dang supply list. Wanted to get my stuff done now. I heard that the scrubs can be a hassle sometimes with the vendor.

I decided to pay the extra money for the hard copy textbooks. I don't want to be stuck with all ebooks- that would kill me haha!

hahahaha Amber got my email wrong so it was a mistake the whole time. It looks like the only things I need to get done is the flu shot and the drug test!! phew

I'm so frustrated!! I STILL haven't gotten the instructions. I just called them and left a message. It's making me feel like I'm doing something wrong:(

another question (lol) - did you get a flu shot this season? it doesnt say that its a requirement but i feel like theyre gonna look for it?

Awesome- it let me enroll. I also saw the extra lab fees for each class and cringed a little. With addition to having the extra $60 a credit and $1800 in books I'm crying on in the inside. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to get an email soon regarding...

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you told me 'cause I've been waiting for the degree to change in the system for me to register. Amber in Nursing was saying they were changing it and she was sending emails out but nothing was happening!
