Hi all! I begin the BSN nursing program this spring. I think I counted 14 books for three classes. I’ll probably get them all, as I don’t anticipate them really being unused. But how has it been for the rest of you? All the books and the recommended ...

Good day fellow Nurses and Nursing Students, We had orientation yesterday and I have a few "what do you think" questions; 1. Class officers. Pros Cons and experiences? I think I want to do this. 2. Scrubs. I looked yesterday at buying some. Apart fro...

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have the Saunders ebook for NCLEX prep. I’ll probably buy the physical book. Seems like it’d be easier to navigate. I do like practice tests to help me study. I relied heavily on recorded lectures during the commu...

My grandfathers brother was Plezzie and my grandfather was Trezzie. I never had enough family contact to ask how or why. I just assumed it was some long lost motherland name. There was a Netflix show about names and the effects on children. I don't r...

This is a great point. I wanted to go to med school not nursing school because I don't want to baby people into feeling better. That's just a horrible misconception. Once I was accepted to school and realized I could be the nurse I wanted to be, I g...

Perhaps this hospital has had a few bad experiences with students. Keep at it and change their thinking! When you move on they’ll remember how great you were!

I haven't even started nursing school and; 1) the doc clarified it as 1000? and then 2) the experienced lot of nurses here say 500? there is an issue. Good luck OP. I am almost dreading the spring semester now.

I left a link for a 2 week osmosis trial that is waiting to be approved by a mod for you @Rionoir. I ordered 2 ebooks so far. I think its the way to go. Thanks!

Hey they have a refer a friend program, when you're ready this gets you 2 weeks of prime access. I'm a little jealous that they have different access for RN vs med school, but I suppose it'd just be more information than I need to sort through. I wa...

In osmosis? No I don’t think I’ve even noticed a quiz. It could be a subscription thing with them. I’ll look at those anki style notecards. I’m still trying to figure it all out. I used the free stuff over the summer in anatomy and physiology and com...

Thanks @Rionoir I haven’t heard of Anki, it sounds like osmosis. I can add my notes, pptx, and handouts and it’ll suggest videos, Flashcards and links to picmonic and other sites. It also does the spaced reputation learning. I think I start with a...

I’ll be 52 when I’m done with nursing school. I have a friend that got her MD in her mid 50. I think if you are interested then work towards it. I am enjoying classes and learning. I think It’s good to keep our brains engaged. Good luck!

You could always reach out to the schools you are interested in and see what they have to say. good luck!

I’m thinking that, even though this is a heartbreaking event, it’s a total win for you. It doesn’t sound like you had a good education from this facility. Starting over sucks, but sometimes it must me done. hopefully you can get reimbursed for the...

Ohhh I see! Sorry about that.

X g= 12oz x 1lb/16oz x 1kg/2.2lbs x 1000g/1kg use the relationships through dimensional analysis. If you’ve had chem I, it’s the technique often used to make these conversions. Start with what you need to know = the simplest information you know. T...

I know we all need to get paid. But if you feel that a career change is best, then start working towards it. You have time to decide if it’s something you can fall in love with. Take those classes and watch for red flags. I currently am about to app...

Wow! You go! Congratulations!

I’m vying for a spot on a local nursing program, didn’t study but scored well enough. I will likely retake the exam because, why not? My composite score was 81.3% reading 78.7 math 87.5 science 85.1 English and Lang 70.8 I apply this fall for a spri...

@clintonjohnson13 Thanks for the reply. I am applying to East Central University in Ada ok. Also TWU in Denton, but I doubt I have much of a chance as I just discovered that I need all of the prerequisite classes to apply, before applying. I did sch...

Can you retake the course and replace the grade?

I haven’t taken it, just the TEAS. But am looking at a program that requires it. How was it? Did you score well enough?
