  1. SUNY-Downstate summer '09--Introduce yourselves please!

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Will you be taking the train? That's a bummer because the trains are packed at this hour and you probably wouldn't be able to concentrate. I live close to Downstate and it was a BIG factor in...

  2. Is it possible to take 2 Psych online courses and pass?

    JeanettePNP replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

    I don't know which particular online class you're taking. I took many Psych classes through Empire State College. I didn't find the classes that hard. How much writing/reading/assignments there are...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    how far do you live from school? we don't end class later than 5:30 (except for second half monday, which goes to 7:20 ) so they shouldn't have to be with a babysitter for too long. my kids end day...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    JeanettePNP replied to sc4s2cg's topic in General Students

    I think an important part of nursing IS learning to read carefully and follow instructions. If you're supposed to be assessing and you do something else... well, you haven't done your job. You need to...

  8. Real world career path for nurses-must I work in a hospital for years post RN?

    JeanettePNP replied to anhero's topic in General Students

    It really depends on what your career goals are... You probably can find a job in a doctor's office or clinic as a new grad without hospital experience. However, those jobs generally do not pay as...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Chadalex, I just put in the ISBN number from FML's list. I wouldn't stress over whether the publication date is 2006 or 2007--the cover is the same in both cases. The inside cover of my text puts the...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I bought all my books from abebooks.com. If I felt comfortable going with an older edition, I got them for REALLY cheap, like $5 or less per book. The Health Assessment textbook I bought the latest...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I have no idea, but someone wrote earlier in the thread that they didn't really use it. Maybe wait until class starts and then you can see what's in it that you need. I already ordered mine... I...

  13. Statistics Prerequisite Relevance?

    JeanettePNP replied to longbow.shelly's topic in General Students

    Statistics is important if you want to understand any published research study. You probably could look up terms to refresh your memory. Most spreadsheet programs do the calculations for you so you...

  15. There is not one person in my class

    JeanettePNP replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    I obsessed over A's in pre-reqs because I wanted to get into a good nursing program. Now that I'm in, my priority is to do well and learn how to be a good nurse. If I get A's, so be it, but if not,...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    The Nursing Process book I bought an old edition and paid like $5 for it, so that's a good thing. The Patho book was expensive... What a shame that I won't be using it. I have to agree with the...

    I don't know what the clinical schedule is like for the rest of the terms. I just know the summer schedule--2 days/week, 8 hour shifts, 6 weeks=96

  20. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    JeanettePNP replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    What does it show if someone got a B without even studying? That they're brilliant? I don't see how the nursing knowledge can just fly into your brain if you've never even cracked open the text. Maybe...

  21. Private Student Loans - Helpful article in NYTimes

    JeanettePNP replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    Actually, around here at least, the fancy private schools are easier to get into for nursing than the state schools. Who wants to pay $90K for their nursing degree? I'm going to a state school and my...

  24. Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

    JeanettePNP replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    I found that in my school, the material for A&P I and II wasn't divided up evenly, so in A&P II we covered a LOT more ground. The first half semester in A&P I was going over biochemistry...

  25. Att Nursing students: What do you do with your books?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Students

    What do you do with your books? Do you keep them in school so you can refer to them throughout the day? Keep them at home so you can study? Shlep them back and forth every day? I want to utilize my...
