First off Congrats on the job - I graduated 2 yrs ago and started on a tele unit which gets a bit of everything including stroke pts. You will do fine. It's scary starting out, ask questions and don't be too vocal as you start out. Watch, listen and ...
I'm supposed to take my test tomorrow and I'm in a bit of a panic. I'm not sure I know anything. My stomach is a boiling knot. I know I'm not supposed to be studying today but what am I suppose to do??? I guess I have to keep telling myself that this...
Guess I need to revise my plan - I used the NCLEX books thru my nursing classes to help me study and without a doubt I did better because of them. My school "strongly" recommended the Meds review - so I will be attending that. I planned on using all...
Hoping to test in early July. I have several NCLEX books and will be taking a Meds Publishing live NCLEX review next week. I will absolutely be following Suzannes plan!!! I am also trying to do a minimum of 100 questions a day or 500/week. I'm tryin...
I am so sorry to hear that you or anyone has experienced this. I had a little episode in the beginning of the year and was put on academic probation. I was seriously contemplating walking out of the program. Anyway I sucked it up and ate some major h...
I took anat over the summer and am glad I did, actually I front loaded my classes so that my last 2 semesters would be lighter. A&P over the summer is hard, but WOW your life will be so much easier to get past it. I used the same stragety and to...
lizzy - it was weird reading your posting since you described exactly how I've been feeling. Thank goodness I'm starting spring break now. Much needed but I'll spend the entire time getting caught up and prepping for finals. I seriously wonder if t...
Scrubaway, I tried a couple times to go to nursing school. The first time I was enrolled and ready to go and my son was diagnosed with cancer. The second time my husband had a heart attack. I find myself a widow now with grown children and needed to...
I'm 48 and keep asking myself why I'm putting myself through this! I'll graduate in May :anpom: with an associates and was planning on continuing but am having a rough time justifying it at this point. It feels like I spend so much more time learnin...
It's my last semester but I can't exactly say I'm bouncy. I'm more nerve wracked, anxious and scared! It's nice that you are excited. I would like to have a bit of that instead of the constant dread. Enjoy the moment! Getting this far is something ...
I tumbled onto this site a couple years ago, pondering if I could get into a nursing program and then if I could handle it. As a 46 yr old widow with grown children, I couldn't think of a better way to start my new life than by helping other people. ...
Definately remember to breathe! Wish I could look into my crystal ball for you but every school has different standards. You sound determined and your grades are good so it doesn't seem to be a question of can it happen - it's more of a question of...
I really understand your situation. I'm entering my last semester next week as well and have been working on nclex questions with a focus on things I havent' learned. I'm also going back and doing study cards for all the lab values and tests that I'm...
It really depends on what school you want to go to. I didn't think I had a chance of getting into an RN program. My school is a private school in central PA. pretty much the middle of nowhere. Seems like anyone could get in there. Of course it m...
