   JoshuaC replied to StudentNurseAbby's topic in General Students

   In our school an 85% is the lowest you can have and still have a B. So on the test you can only miss 7 questions out of 50 and still get a B. We took our first test today and I know I missed at...

   JoshuaC replied to cakesbyjess's topic in General Students

   I have Mosby's 2007 edition.. It looks pretty good to me. We havn't started using it yet though. If you hear good things about both, and your school doesn't have a preference, then I'd go with the...

   JoshuaC replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   So far our math questions have been super easy, such as, if a doctor orders 5mg of X and all you have are 10mg tabs of X, how many tabs do you give? It would be 1/2 of a tab.... Stuff like that. I'm...

   JoshuaC replied to JoshuaC's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I talked to my dean and she said that our class would be ordering uniforms from Dove.com. I checked out the site and it looks like all white, which I'm not particularly fond of. I would much rather...

12. Multiple Schools?

14. When to apply for nursing school?

    JoshuaC replied to wackyj2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As early as possible. That doesn't mean that you'll get picked first, but it does help. Plus it's better to be early than late. Oh, and tell them what they want to here. I know that sounds bad, but...

15. Nursing and keeping fit??
