1.Flesh cards work wonders for me. 2.Also I summerize a lot in my own words and I find it really helpfull to remeber material that way. 3.Additional nursing books like test taking Techinque for begging nursing students or Mnemonic note cards (if you ...

Same here with you. Dont really know what to expect. All I know is that our second semester is more time consuming,we have two classes combined together, which I heard might get a little bit rough. As far as the clinicals, this semester we start wit...

I'm suprised you careplan book wasn't included in your fundamentals of nursing package. Mines did come with it but the bookworm I am I also purchased another careplan book called " Nursing Care Plans-Guidelines for Individualized Client Care Across T...

Let me sell you a secret LOL how to be more succesful in your second time around. Take it from the "elderly: (the 'almost'(one more test) survivor of the first semester). It took me a while to understand a meaning that one of my instructor was stress...

I dont agree that Nursing school itself is a primary cause of divorce.If the marriage is based on solid and strong foundations nursing school wont break one's marriage, the problems had to exist before arleady and nursing school is just an excuse to...

-sleep -read about pharm and med-surg -clean my car and the house -take out the dog more -talk with my friends more -catch up on reading literature -refresh my lab skills -can't afford go nowhere at this moment because school and bills deprived me of...

I'm a B student and certainly I wont lose sleep over not getting A.

I still have one more unit exam and theory final, lab final, child and elderly assesment, all this just in two weeks, and then I'm off for a month, studing some more.

I will try to take a look at pharmacology, maybe open med-surg book, sleep a little bit more and relax!

I dont like clinicals at all because for one they are nerve-racking, you have to figure things on your own, the nurses are always on the run and your instructor looks for ways to fail you:o

I think you could by her/him book. I was actually thinking about buying book for one of my instructors but on the condition she passes me.

That depends on many factors. If you are other classes with nursing classes with other supplemental classes that are required for your nursing degree but are not considered prereq (like microbiology, sociology) that the first semester gets rough. But...

I would first establish initial trust with the patient, if you will start giving her advice right away she might not listen to you, dont be moralistic or play a quit trip on her. I would say something like that " How do you feel about smoking in gene...

I started my clinicals not long ago and from my experience I can tell you that it is not as hard as they are portraited to be. You instructor wont expect of you too much at the beggining, the first day will be probably just an orientation, you will t...

We are , we are doing right now Maslow hierarchy of needs, Roy's Adaptation theory of Nursing, but I'm so behind my reading like a week, I have a test coming up a a week from today, how do you like the book so far, I find it some of its part a little...

My car breaks down and I will have to take metro to school:angryfire

Three things you should focus on and you should be fine. 1. Practice blood pressure, the last thing you want to do is not to be confident about the skill while having a test coming soon...nursing tests are hard so you'l want to focus your energy 'st...

I use Craven, do you like it?

Good question, I'm torned between B and C, but then again what about if the nurse is the only one on the floor, but I still think the priority for the nurse is to go see what is wrong with the toddler, the isolation child might be fed later is not li...

Our average has to be at 77 % but our instructors do round up if you are like 66.5, I know we had one student who made such grade and they rounded up his grade.My school is really trying to keep all their student at least until the pharm starts ( thi...

I have my first fundamentals exam in 3 weeks and study guide became my new best friend, and when I get my loans I will try to get some supplemental books like the Incredible Easy series and for sure the Saunders book. Also to be honest with you I don...

I gave up on A's the moment I saw my sylabus, I'm happy when I get B's.

Doesnt your school offer a nursing counselor to go to in case your are facing academic difficulties? I know mine do and they strongly encourage us to go and talk to one...
