:kiss Hi, nurses, have you ever had a patient who comfronted you about handling their newborns too roughly? I was just wondering because when my cousin had her baby girl she became upset with the way the baby was being tossed around. I understand bot...

so are you saying that if you go to sentara you have to become a care partner and work at the same time?? If so I think you might be mistaken. I go there and what you might be talking about is after your 1st semester in the program you are now qualif...

hey, just read your post and wanted to know why would you have to travel to the pennisula if you live in va. beach? Sentara's main campus is in chesapeake by greenbriar. I attend the school and it just turned into a BSN program and it should be start...

Hi, I start nursing school on Aug.14 and I need advice on where I can buy textbooks online that are cheap, relieable, and secure. I also have a PDA and was wondering if there was a site that sells the PDA version of the textbooks. These are the book...

Hi, I am currently a student at Old Dominion University and finishing up my prereqs. I just starting to feel out applications for nursing schools and decided that I wanted to go to Sentara(G.P.A's not high enough for ODU, NSU and TCC doesn't appeal t...

Does anybody has any info on the RN program there in VA Beach? I decided to go there in Sept. (even though it is expensive) I just want to know the basic stuff such as how is the school. Thanks:clown:

My school changed their courses around because of this same reason. First it was med-surg, specialties, then med-surg again so now they changed it so that specialities comes first and then we can have med-surg back to back.

I'm in a RN in program and we started our 1st semester about 4 weeks into it. We had skill lab clinicals since the 1st day which taught us basic things and gives us practice before we actually go to the hospital. My school has the most clinical hours...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe you should take a break from studying to relax and clear your head before you start studying again. You probably need to find a different way to study. How many times are you allowed to take the test before they cut y...

Passing at my school is 76.51. don't ask me why they put the .51 at the end. my school doesn't round or give extra credit.

I gotta friend that just flunked out the rn program. About 90% of her class failed so they extended their mod and made them take test every day and by then end of the week if your average wasn't an 80 then you have to start over. Her grade was 79.93 ...

I'm not saying to have a hard copy of each book, I was just saying don't think that you don't need to learn your meds just cause it is one click away. Also most PDA software comes with a desktop copy for your computer so that you can download it. I n...

Thanks!! No I did not apply for the internship or for the scholarship. But I believe Nursecadet got an internship for the summer thanks to the Godfather (Mrs. Wyche)!! Make sure you have fun. One of the reason why our class (may 08) is so memorable i...

PDA's wasn't required when I started but after doing research on this website I purchased one before I started school. I didn't use it until my 3rd semester but I most say that it is a time saver. Instead of flipping through books I have it right in ...

Hey guys and by the way me and Nursecadet are in the same class and are study partners and I always score high on my tests when I study with her. She is wonderful and one of the most knowledgeble person I know. See you at my son's B-day party or at s...

Sentara has just started an online class. I don't really know the details but if you go to sentara.com and then to facilities then schools, they might have more info on it. (I don't know the exact address but if you play with the site you should fin...

I'm in my 3rd semester in an RN program. I work at least 20 hours a week as a waitress and have a 3 y.o son. I'm also a single parent. You just need dedication. Looking at my son makes me determine to do what I gotta do to make our life more managea...

I never fainted but while on the floor I felt kinda flushed and dizzy. I told my teacher and she just laughed at me. Another student took my blood pressure and was practicing a head-to-toe assessment on me and my BP was like 80 something over 40 som...

Hi you probably don't even come to this thread anymore but I am a current RN student at Sentara. I'm half-way through my 3rd semester. The program is awesome and is one of the best in my opinion. We have the most clinical hours which I believes allow...

I'm only half way through my 3rd semester (RN program) but my teacher told us that the questions get harder and harder as you get them correct and then when start to miss them it will get easier. It's going off your overall knowledge and to make sure...

so are you in 101 to become an RN or an LPN? I love Mrs. Wyche and Mrs. Evard. My last clinical instructor was Ms. Webley (she recently to just cut all her hair off) Me and Nursecadet came into the class when Mrs. Evard was doing the "i'm from sentar...

hey princess, you remember me and NURSECADET. We are in 201 now together. how are you

we have the same thing but during the 1st semester (not sure about the other semesters) we have to get over a 90% and we get 3 attempts. If you fail, than you fail the semester.

I'm studying for my first test on the 5th and I have to work on the weekend. I was suppose to meet up with my study group but Ernesto messed that up with all the flooding and trees down.

Hi, sorry about your test, I take my 1st test on tues. (9/5) in fund. One thing that has help me on quizzes is to not read into them too much. The test does not come with audio. Don't go back and change your answers unless you clearly has misinterpre...
