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 would even sell academic books, so I think a lot ...

My first day of orientation is this upcoming Monday. As far as I know for clinicals we are going to have to wear uniforms, but I'm not sure how to dress for regular class as it was never mentioned to me by my dean. I figured since it's summer I mig...

80% isn't too bad... Is there anything else you can do in your class to bring it up? Like quizes or something? What pissed me off is that I studied a lot more than some people in my class and I got an 86% on my test and some of them got just as goo...

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. cardiac, ect..). You see for me I took pre-med anatomy a...

Alright, we just had our first test and I got an 86.. I'm not really complaining about that, although I did mark some stupid answers and should have got an A, but I guess I deserve the 86 for my stupidity.. Anyway, my gripe is with study habits and...

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 least 3, and probably at least 4, and maybe a couple m...

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 less expensive one.

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. Also.. Do you tuck in your scrub tops or leave the...

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 don't know why anyone would have been accepted and...

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 summer outside). I kind of want to be casual, but ...

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 guessing the harder questions are going to start ...

Three nights ago I got about 4 hours of sleep, two nights ago I got 3 hours of sleep, and last night I got about 6 hours. Yeah, I know, that's pretty bad. I'm the kind of guy who needs 7-8 minimum. I can function well on little sleep, but I don't ...

Study more than I did last semester... Have more fun.

Of course you can get in with a 3.0 if you hit the right circumstances. It's certainly not going to be the best GPA out of everyone who applys, but it certainly won't be the worst. Good luck.

Diet has a lot to do with how well you maintain your body comp. or how well you lose weight, gain weight, ect.. So keep in mind that diet is far more important than exercise, although exercise is still very important. As far as lifting weights goes,...

Our school is using Mosby's 2006 or 2007. I've got the 2007 edition.

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. Don't try to memorize, try to retain. If the material...

Don't stress just yet. Plus I'm sure you won't be the only person missing some books.

I was thinking maybe some people could post their AIM names so us nursing students would have a better chance of chatting with each other since there is rarely anyone in the chat room here. Just a thought.. My user name is... JoshuaCaleb1986

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 right?

You're not the only one! I just want to get the first day over with. The only part I'm really nervous about is seeing my classmates for the first time and getting everything organized. I think when I'm comfortable in the classroom I'll be fine. I...

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 just wear srubs. Even matching scrubs, but oh wel...

Just wondering how math intensive nursing school is, because I'm not the world's best math student. As long as it's not too complex I can handle it, but I was just wondering how often math is incorperated. I figure I will be dealing with math when ...

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

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. I didn't know where else to post this and I coul...
