[color=#0000a0]*i agree w/the above. i was so pleased with the informative posts by hundreds of nurses & student nurses, it took two weeks for me to decide if i wanted to become a premium member. i'm currently unemployed; it has been almost 2 years since i resigned, making a great salary that was quite significant to our family. there are times we're tight & low on the funds but, a month or so ago, i decided to subscribe sacrificing just a few other little things i like. i'm happy i did because "today" i don't have it to spare. :uhoh21: i would consider this site to be my own personal career coach. i absolutely love the different views & opinions on different subjects in the field of nursing & the student opinions on different classes. for future reference, i have bookmarked & organized sites by subject based on the helpful links provided in most forums. having read hundreds of messages on this site, it has helped me make a few important decisions i found difficult, such as; what i should look for when selecting a school to attend, why, what questions to ask & what to expect. it has also been a tool of communication for my husband and i, helping us better understand what (some) students endure while attending school, (not that everyone experience the same things). however, there are a lot of posts that provide a clear understanding that, it's going to be "the family" going through nursing school & not just myself. i love this site & thought it was a great find. there's so much more i could add but, just for that alone i felt guilty not contributing & i've learnt so much. *i paid w/our debit card w/the master card logo through pay pal. i do not recall paying to create a pay pal account & it's quick & easy to sign up. i love allnurses.com :1luvu:

repost by mistake...

Thank You for all of the tips & advice... Yes- A binder with the answers in the back (LOL) >Duh I plan to concentrate on the present, I'm just a freak for organization & preparation. I love the "Bride-to-be" comment. I've searched and bookmarked so many websites under certain topics. I've always been this way. When I plan to do something I research and try to brief myself by seeing it or hearing it first even if I'm not understanding it. It helps me better understand it later. Not quite studying it... But, for some reason having read it or viewed it prior to learning it grabs my attention. So I can focus on what may be difficult or totally new. *If that makes sense.* Three years ago; when I planned to take a PCT course, it helped that I learnt the systems, organs, and structures, prior to entering the program. It seemed as if it helped me concentrate on the pertinent information the instructor gave us about each system. Since, it was clear in my mind which system was which it was easier for me. So when there was new information presented I was able to focus on that rather than trying to figure out hmmm, now is that for the Endocrine or aaahm the Reproductive. (Smile-Just kidding. But, I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.) I wasn't the shout it out, hands up first student. *I'm more reserved than that, shy I guess and afraid to fail by small mistakes. So I just try to prepare myself when I know I will be faced with something totally new, it helps with the don't freak out you can learn this & the "never let them see you sweat thing."

Thank You for responding EricEnfermero, What I really wanted was to gather information so when I did actually start taking the nursing classes. I could have that information available step by step as I went along just to make notes to myself and have a detailed piece of work to study with. I guess, I'm too excited and a little ahead of myself. I found that the website: http://www.learningext.com/ posts one NCLEX question a week. That's exactly what I was looking for. --I'm not sure if those are *real* questions as I may have on the exam, when it's my time to take it but, It's a great find, I believe. Although, they're not any help for me at this time, I want to make a note of the questions for future reference. ~ T

hello all, i've read a lot of informative posts here on allnurses.com & i'm sure you all will provide information that's comprehensible but, to the point. i'm honestly seeking information *before* i'm faced with trying to create time to study/review/pre-test for the nclex. please bear with me asking these questions, because, i'm not quite in nursing school. i start my pre-nursing/prerequisites in april 3rd. so, i'm not even close to taking the nclex exam. however, with all of the questions and requests for studying tips to prepare for the nclex exam, my questions are: should i create a *thick* book/binder of questions from each learning tool i receive, having a separate book/binder of the correct answers to use as a study guide prepare myself for the nclex? (if so, do you have tips on what information i should be more concerned with gathering to prepare myself ahead of time?) other than the obvious, studying, reviewing & passing my classes, what can i do now to prepare for the nclex from the *beginning* of the nursing program? other than *every free moment you have* on the average, how much time should one honestly dedicate daily on preparing for the nclex near exam time? i hope these questions make sense. i'm honestly making every effort to dive in mind, body, spirit and soul. this means so much to me & i'm finally ready & capable to do what it takes. thank you in advance

Hello Everyone, I will be attending Baker College Clinton Twp., Michigan I would like to know are there any Nursing Students that attend or will be attending Baker in Clinton Twp. on the allnurses.com boards. And anyone can answer this. On most of the nursing programs I've looked into why isn't there a medical terminology class for some of the programs? Is it covered in one of the classes for nurses just listed under something else? *Just curious* I'm posting this in the Michigan forum instead of the student forum, in hopes to connect with someone considering the fact that it's a school in Michigan. Thankx! *Edit- To change... I've decided to attend Macomb Community College instead.*
