Here is a personality test to see which area of nursing you may fit in with the best. It is 130 questions but it goes pretty quickly. They will ask you the same question multiple times which is...
Hi! I will be starting VCC in August 2006 Nursing Program. I turned in my application in July 2005 for the program and got accepted for the August 2006 Program :yelclap: So I took some classes in Fall...
I am so happy to hear that I am not alone in this! All of my friends in nursing school fall asleep the minute they hit the pillow. Its so frustrating because they don't understand why I'm always...
Yep, no need to read ahead. The teacher will tell you everything you need to know and will explain it much better than that big text book will. My teacher published an outline book so we didn't even...
It really depends on your professor. We had a periodic table with us for each of the tests. Also, you will want to have your basic math skills down because our teacher got very angry at some of my...
What we learned/used the most in the class is dimensional analysis. It is so easy but its a basic concept you have to master to get through the course. Here is a web site that might help if you are...
I do not sign up for my classes unless I've read about the instructor on that site. I have had a couple problems with it but overall, I am a big fan. Before I heard about the web site I took a math...
I think it is doable if you are not working a full time job. You will want to make sure you stay on top of your studying. Get those flash cards ready! You really want to concentrate on this course...
I would agree with the previous poster. If you want to do nursing there are so many schools out there that you can get into. There may be wait lists but you can get in. I finished my prereques in...
There are soooooo many threads on being nervous and second guessing yourself before school starts on this forum, especially under the general nursing student section. Sounds like it is completely...
Shadowing is where you follow a nurse around for the day or for a few hours to see what they do. You usually have to sign a form for patient confidentiality (sp?). So it's just to get a feel for what...
I agree with Bethg5. I took Medical Terminology online while I was taking Micro and I invested all my time in Microbiology and not nearly enough time in Medical Terminology. I would have rather taken...
name: julie school: valencia community college, fl program: rn what area of interest at this time: not sure. maybe oncology or icu. would love to eventually become a crna. biggest fear:...
I agree with Supermo. A&P 1 was easier. Be sure you have the same teacher for both or A&P 2 will be harder. I knew and loved my teacher's teaching style. I like to understand how things work...
My mom is a nurse so she took me to work with her one night. It was fun! She also hooked me up with a person in NICU so I got to tour that department too. My local hospital here will allow you to...
You can bash Florida all you want. Hopefully people will stop moving here so the price of houses will come down and I can finally afford one! haha. I love living here, just struggling to afford
Wow, this is some venting here. Personally, I am not allergic to scents but I can not STAND the smell. People do not realize how strong they put it on and I can't stand to be around someone who has...
I'd recommend going to the local schools here and speaking to the nursing advisors. They will let you know how to go about getting your classes transferred or if it's even possible. The schools in the...
Sounds like if I'm married when I start, I'll wear mine on a necklace rings together and I told him and the jeweler that I was concerned about having the diamond set up so high and the jeweler said...
I will be starting NS in the Fall and do not currently work in the healthcare industry so I am not sure what some of the lingo means in this forum. Can someone translate these words? Med/surg unit -...
I wouldn't miss the first day of class if I were you. My school will drop you if you miss any class (even non nursing classes). I agree with the others that say the teachers set the expectations on...
I found that 2 was easier than 1. You already have a handle on what to expect and how to study, especially if you are taking the same teacher. I got an A in both classes but got a couple Bs and Cs on...
I agree it was stupid to make the movie since it hasn't even happened yet BUT there is a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie saying it is FICTIONAL. Hello people, it's not real and they are not...
