I am a 4th semester nursing student and failed to pass the med calc test. I am not sure about other schools, but we were only allowed to miss one. I must now withdraw from the program. As if failing the test wasn't bad enough, my situation is even wo...

I don't take your question as being harsh. Its a legitimate question and I really don't know what to say!! I did not have any problems with any of my previous calc exams. I wasn't the only student to get dropped from the program, there were quite ...

Thank you for the advise! I met with the Dean and was told my options are to either apply as a new student and re-do the entire program, or to take a few courses in the LPN, get my LPN license and bridge to ADN. I asked if I could appeal to the rein...

Thank you for your insight and advise. I don't really "think" I am a failure, it was just the way I was feeling at the time. I am in the process of appealing to see if I can get reinstated again. If not, I plan to attend the LPN program (several c...

We are required to maintain 75% on exams. Each semester a calc test is given and the first three semesters the required score is 90%. In 4th semester the required score on the calc test is 97%. All paperwork / careplans are required for clinical a...

Can someone PLEASE help me figure out how to calculate bolus and maintenance doses for MgSO4? I have tried to find info online explaining the calculation but have had no luck, and I have three dosage calc books but they are of no help either. The han...

Seeking information about 2nd semester ADN program. Any and all information you wish to offer will be helpful. Is it more stressful than first semester? What are instructors like? What did you do in clinicals? Do you still have to hand write your own...

1st semester - 6 hour clinical 2nd semester - 7 hr for mental health, 7.5 hr for med/surg =14.5 hrs.

I would recommend that you contact the college in CA where you plan to attend nursing school. Each school has degree sheets (a list of classes that they require before you can actually apply to the nursing program). Find out what classes you will ...

I am a 2nd semester ADN student. Last semester's schedule was: Tues / lab -8am-llam Tues / lecture 2-3:30pm Wed / lecture 2-3:30pm Thurs / clinicals 6am-1pm Next semester: Mon / clinicals 1pm - 9pm Wed / 2 lectures and a lab - 8am - 6pm Fri / clinica...

Welcome and don't worry, you will do just fine! I am a 2nd semester nursing student (48 years young!). Age is only a number, it does not define who you are. Many of the younger students tend to look up to older students. Be proud of who you are an...

You did the right thing! I am sure that this resident appreciates you for the professional care that she receives from you. I am glad that she bit this nurse! She has probably been given good reasons to defend herself in any manner that she can. ...

Nursing school itself is not hard. The material / concepts are covered in lectures, practiced in labs, and applied in clinical settings. Hopefully you will have some decent instructors in your school! As stated in previous posts, the instructors a...

Nursing school is demanding and can be stressful at times. The most important aspect is simply learning how to organize and manage your time....sometimes easier said than done. You mentioned your friend crying and being stressed out. Perhaps this i...

Why not file charges against this Dr. for assault and battery??? Maybe it would teach him a lesson!

I would like to applaud you and give you a pat on the back! As a nursing student I have been taught that pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever he/she says it does! Obviously this Dr. needs to be informed that prov...

:yeahthat:I agree with Daytonite! If you are bummed about the thought of nursing school then why bother?? If you are not ready to dedicate yourself to learning what is necessary, then don't accept the position into your program. There are thousands...

As a 2nd semester ADN student it truly saddens me to have read your post. Nursing is a demanding profession, but is also a very rewarding one. It sounds as if you are leaving with a bitter taste in your mouth, and that is the saddest part of all. I...

CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance into your nursing program!! It must be scarry for you to leave your job, benefits, etc., and go back to school. Your significant other is giving you a fantastic opportunity so stop doubting your abilities to acco...

Congratulations to your recent acceptance! Have you tried pinching yourself lately??? he he! After the long waiting lists I think we all tend to believe it surely can't be real. I wasn't notified until 4 days prior to the start of classes.....so ...

Each semester is normally 3 months. Depending on the college you attend, you may have to take your intro to biology prior to taking Anatomy & Physiology I and II. Normally you can't take these all at the same time, and would require several sem...

Semesters are normally 3 months. Have you been accepted into a nursing program, or are you planning on starting your prerequisite courses?

I just completed my 1st semester of the ADN program and as Tweety previously stated so very well "ITS INTENSE, IT TAKES ALL YOU'VE GOT!" Thanks Tweety for hitting the nail right on the head! There will be so many times when you feel totally overwhel...

Prerequisites are courses you need to take prior to applying for the nursing program itself. I am not sure what colleges across the country require, but to give you an idea, this is what I was required to take: Biology - Fundamentals of Life Sciene ...
