  1. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

    JoshuaC posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For two classes, my nursing fundamentals class and my A&P II class, it's going to cost me about $520! 7 books total for two classes!!! The bookstore on my campus is the only bookstore around that...

  2. A&P1 vs A&P2

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

    Usually in combined A&P classes, like I and II, it doesn't really get progressivly harder, but maybe to certain people certain systems of the body are harder to learn (such as endocrine vs....

  3. I got a 78% on my first exam.

    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...

  4. Drug guide --- Mosby's vs. Davis's?

    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...

  5. About scrubs..

    JoshuaC posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've got two questions that I would be very happy if anyone could help me out with. Does anyone know where to find good scrubs "that fit guys well" on the internet? A direct link would be awesome....

  6. How big is everyone's class?

    JoshuaC posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    By class I mean the class you'll be graduating with. I just checked online and it looks like my class is only going to be around 28 people. It might grow a little, but school starts on Monday and I...

  7. What to wear for 1st day of orientation?

    JoshuaC posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what I should wear for my first day of orientation into nursing school. I had planned on just wearing some shorts, tennis shoes, and a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up (it is...

  8. MATH...& I'm scared ...uhhh

    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...

  9. Share your best Study Skills!!!

    JoshuaC replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Re-read the information right after you get out of class as to retain it better. Read the chapters prior to class. Study a little every night as to avoid having to cram a week before the test....

  10. Getting ORganized?

    JoshuaC replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Students

    I really want to make sure I stay very organized during nursing school. Maybe I should buy one of those drawers sets that looks like a small file cabinet... They do make those

  11. About scrubs..

    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. how is it like?

    JoshuaC replied to tater29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might have better luck asking this question in the general nursing

  13. Dumb question about buying books online..

    JoshuaC posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know this is a dumb question, but when you buy books online and it ask for a credit card can you use your debit card or does it have to be strictly credit? Like when buying from half.com or Amazon....

  14. Orientation: What was your experience?

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

    I'm really looking forward to my orientation, which is next Monday and Tuesday. I really don't know what to expect because this is the first year my school has offered a nursing program, so it's a...

  15. Multiple Schools?

    JoshuaC replied to lma82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it's alright to apply to more than one school. It's often encouraged. It betters your chances of getting accepted, which is the main goal

  16. Dumb question about buying books online..

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

    I've already bought a book online through half.com. I've used my debit card online before without problems, so hopefully I'll be alright

  17. 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...

  18. Nursing and keeping fit??

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

    My advice to you if you're going to start running is not to run on an empty stomach. A lot of people say that it's better that way, but most research proves otherwise. So don't run on an empty...

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

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

    I'm looking forward to taking A&P II, although it will be a lot different than taking anatomy and physiology separatly. The only thing I'm not used to is the lab that goes with it. My last...

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

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

    I'm taking A&P II. Last year semester I didn't take A&P I though because I missed my chance to sign up for the class during the first semester. So instead of taking A&P I the first...

  21. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

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

    Yeah, two of my books are drug references and one of them is a medical dictionary. So we'll be using those for the next two years. So maybe next semester won't be as

  22. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

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

    $1,300!? That's pretty amazing.. In a depressing way. That's a lot of money to be spending on books that probably only cost about $5 to make. I do get a $300 dollar voucher though since my dad...

  23. how much chemistry do you need to know for nursing school?

    JoshuaC replied to user9876's topic in General Students

    My nursing program doesn't require any chemistry pre-req classes, although I already have 6 credit hours worth. I don't think chemistry would ever play a big part in nursing, although I techincally...

  24. How soon do you go to get your textbooks??

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

    I need to go get my textbooks today... I start on the 21st and need 5 books from the get go. I'm guessing that a few of them are for fundamentals but we'll be using most of them throughout the...

  25. Anyone Ever take Micro with Physio before?

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

    I took physiology and anataomy and chemistry together (yes, all three classes), and it was tough, but they complemented each other well, especially anatomy and physiology. Taking microbiology with...
