Hello mihi - I started in a BSN program (graduating in December - yeah!), but my first choice was an ADN program. The ADN program I applied to had a lottery - you got in by chance after you met the prerequisites. The BSN program had a point system...
Hello Flowergirl - I am not sure what your instructor's exact intention is regarding this question, but here's my interpretation: I think crossing the line would be disclosing too much personal information or asking too much personal information that...
Hi Nurseshn! Being what my friends call "Anal Annie" when it comes to grades, yes I was nervous, at first. I really like to see those little "A's" on my record. But, I must say, making A's does not necessarily make the best nurse. I know several c...
Welcome to the board! I agree with peaceful2100 about the NCLEX review book. I started using that before I started, and it did help to de-mystify the whole test taking thing. I also bought mysefl a really good drug calculations book to do over the s...
jessjoy- Wow, do I understand! I basically have been having a crappy month. I'm in semester 4/5 in a BSN program, and am having a rough go of it lately. I'm not trying to brag at all here, but I am an A student in my classes, but it seems lately ...
Hi! I just finished my psych rotation, but have no idea what a Town Hall assignment is!! As far as the ethical part is concerned, with psych, it is pretty much like any other part of nursing (patient confidentiality, etc.), except that you are not to...
Wow! I guess I never realized how (relatively) inexpensive my school is. I am in a 5 semester BSN program at a State University (in 4th semester now), and have estimated that I will spend $ 7200 for the whole thing (tuition, books, etc.) Not so bad...
Welcome! I am currently in my 4th semester of a BSN program, graduating December 19 (YEAH!). I am 37 yrs. old, with 2 boys, 17 & 11, married for 19 yrs. I started back to school slowly, taking only a few prereq classes at a time. Went back full...
Hi Carlos! I do not know of specific web sites, but you can type in nursing care plans on a search engine. I have done this before, and have gotten many good sites that provide specific as well as generic blank care plans for your use. Good luck!

Hi there! I'm not sure if CNA is a requirement for all nursing programs in Sol Cal, but up here in No. Cal, it is not. Our ADN programs do not require it, and neither does the program I'm in (BSN at Chico State). What I do know is the I wish I had a...
After reading some of the posts, I guess we were really lucky in our Anatomy class. I took the class at a junior college before transfering to a university, where each semester we had two new cadavers - one female and one male. My instructor used to...
In our class of 39 students, we have 7 males (and only 1 is gay - not a reason he's becoming a nurse!). I have had many conversations with our guys in class, and I can tell you that none of them have a problem with the male ego thing. They are as "...
