  1. PDA questions

    collegebound replied to dodgerla's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well for software, look at Skyscape.com and Epocrates.com both have some free software that is great. On some of my books, I ordered with accompaning PDA software (my med dict. and drug guide) and I...

  2. School uniforms.. ugh..

    collegebound replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    We have to have black scrubs with ALL white shoes--absolutely no color anywhere! They are a brand called GelScrubs and are very soft and comfy. I can't wait to actually start wearing

  3. Binder or notebooks?

    collegebound replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a binder girl myself. I have a hard time with notebooks as the spirals get in the way when I am trying to write (when I get to that side!). Plus, like others, most of my notes have been given...

  4. very discourage, what should i do at this point?

    collegebound replied to jbdang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to retake the classes until you are able to get a competitive GPA. I would under no circumstances take an "easier" class at another school. Nursing school is extremely hard....

  5. As a Nurse, what gives you the willies?

    collegebound replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't start NS till next month but I already know mine will be vomit. To just see someone gagging starts me gagging as well. And the smell ... well I won't go

  6. Human Growth and Development Spring 2007

    collegebound replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved this class. I found it to be very easy but I also found it very interesting. I have two small kids at home so it was fun to try and relate what I was learning to them. I took it online and...

  7. Study Guide for the NET

    collegebound replied to spb1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Jezziemis. It is best to do some run-through practice tests. Everyone at my school that has taken the NET had far more trouble with the reading than the math. The math that was on ours...

  8. Post here if you are done with finals!

    collegebound replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Done-Done-Done!!! Just finished up A&PII and Intro to Psych, with A's in both! Next semester I'll start nursing school (Jan 16) so I am going to relax and try to get some stuff done around the...

  11. Nurses Helping Nurses Quit Smoking

    collegebound replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am very glad to hear ya'll are back on the same page! Chantix (varenicline) is relatively new but I am not sure when it came out. They do have a website if anyone wants to check it out. It is...

  12. Nurses Helping Nurses Quit Smoking

    collegebound replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It has been 2.5 weeks for me. I have been taking the new prescription drug Chantix. Of all the times I have tried in the past, this is the first time I have not had any cravings!! I love it. I do...

  13. When Is Everyone's Finals/Last Day Of Semester?

    collegebound replied to slou!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm DONE!!! My last class was Thursday the 7th. I have done nothing this weekend but play video games and lay around. It has been wonderful! But reality check, the house is still a mess and...

  14. To all parent students: Are your kids making things hard or are they little angels?

    collegebound replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly what you mean. I had her evaled by our school with no results. She scored in acceptable ranges on everything. But as a parent, I just knew something was off. I talked to our pedi...

  15. A&P II Club! Come on in!

    collegebound replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took mine this morning--it wasn't too bad, mostly what was reviewed, but I didn't spend as much time looking back over it as I should have. Grades will be posted Monday so I'll know how I did then....

  16. To all parent students: Are your kids making things hard or are they little angels?

    collegebound replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Things we do: For my oldest, 5 yr old DD: she does her "homework" by typing on the computer or working in her workbooks while I study; gets to invite a friend over to play, or the good ol' TV for my...

  17. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    collegebound replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are so many reasons! I think first and foremost would be the challenge. I think the human body is just an absolutely fascinating system and I know that I will be seeing such a variety of...

  18. Hello!! Also asking for some feedback...

    collegebound replied to Monica D's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Without knowing more about the hospital, the best advice I can give is be yourself for the interview!! (there is a thread somewhere on the board about interview questions that you might checkout to...

  19. ? for those finishing A&P 2

    collegebound replied to evbella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I posted in the APII club but I'll repeat! For me it was respiratory and cardiac. Neither were that bad in general but trying to keep all the different pressures and volumes straight was a little...

  20. A&P II Club! Come on in!

    collegebound replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad to hear you did well on your lab stpauligirl! JaxiaKiley--I think essays would be the death of me, glad to hear you seem to be handling them well! Evbella--I think for me it was respiratory and...

  21. A&P II Club! Come on in!

    collegebound replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, this is the last week of the semester for me. Two finals and it's over. I am suffereing terribly from the end of the semseter funk. Barely cracked a book all weekend. (I did however get all...

  22. Would reapplying to a nursing school be frowned on?

    collegebound replied to jlhalloween's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Please don't beat yourself up about dropping out to be with your father. I lost my father 2 years ago and would give anything to have been by his side! I also agree with the above posters that most...

  23. A&P II Club! Come on in!

    collegebound replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you feel you would do better on the lab, I say go for it!! I always feel the crunch of the last few weeks too. All the new stuff the profs are trying to cram in while I'm trying to refresh the...

  24. Need advice on what to take with A&PI

    collegebound replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is doable as well. I personally took A&PI with Sociology, and Human Growth, then took Eng II over the summer. But, it was my first semester back after 10 years and I had two small...

  25. Christmast wish list for pre-nursing students

    collegebound replied to TemperStripe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just asked for a gift card to somewhere like Office Max/ Depot from my MIL. I figure that I can then buy supplies as I need them. I am also turning the bedroom that is currently a junkroom into a...
