If you have not bought one yet you might want to make sure that you can download to your pc. I can download then burn the lecture to a cd. I have a RCA one from Walmart. It will say on the package if youc an download and what's included. Just a t...

I just started using one and I love it. I am also an auditory learner, so if you don't know your style you might want to take an online test first. I know it has worked for me so far this semester.

You sound like you are prepared and you know what's in store. I am in my second semester and I work Fri-Mon. I think if you have everything organized and you are ready to rock it will work out! Go get em! :)

I used the web for anything I could find on Anatomy...pratice quizzes or just info to help. There are some sites for kids that really explain the cells etc. www.biology4kids.com That site really helped since it had been awhile since I had Bio in hi...

I agree 100%. I tell everyone that talk of failing, who failed what semester, or who is failing has been banned. The only thing that will lead to is . If someone is struggling I hope they look for help, but don't let negative talk drag you down. ...

Congrats on making it through the first week! I just started my 2nd of 4 semesters. We had a presentation on IV's just this week. Last semester we learned to discontinue them, and this semester actually do them. It was interesting to see the pres...

In my program they use the Fundamentals Success:A Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking. Nugent & Vitale. There are other books in the same line... Meg Surg Success and Pharm Success. I will say that for Nursing 101 Fundamenta...

Most schools will go by the regular scale when you transfer classes. I have a B.A. and when I applied to the ADN program my classes transferred face value, they weren't changed into the Nursing scale. I would think most places would do this, but de...

My guess is the schedule. It can be overwhelming with the reading, clinicals, care plans, math, etc. Not sure how your program works, but with the one I am in we had the math part as self study. We also did ATI on our own. As long as you get a sc...

Oops, I meant to add that you will probably use Taber's and Labs & Diagnostic Book for care plans...so you might only need those for reference. I am sure if you ask up front they will let you know what book to bring. Good luck!

I doubt you will have to carry all of them. Last semester I had Nsg 101 and once in while would take my Fundamentals book, but mostly just focused on taking notes. If we were working on care plans the teacher advised what book to bring for that day...

Just last week I was the biggest cheerleader in telling you that this could be done, only to start school last week and hear about how it was impossible and it should not even be attempted. This threw me for a loop for about 24 hours, but I have a r...

I am in the 2nd semester of an ADN program. We used ATI last semester, I believe I had to pay $140 or something like that. Well this semester it was $186. I used the ATI book to study from. It has lots of good questions for practice, and good gen...

I have a friend in her last semester of Nursing, she said it was important to be memorizing drugs now. I have many lists from Nursing 1 with all the drugs we covered but I just wondered if there was a better way to go about learning these. I saw an...

Last semester I had Nursing 101 - we had Mon & Wed 830-1200. Tuesday and Thursday 0800-230. Once we started clinicals we did then on Thursdays. I only had Nursing 101, but along with that we did online Math (321 Calc) and also ATI so I guess i...

You are welcome! Glad to help!!

Before I started nursing school I had been in Transportation since I graduated from college the first time around. Don't let the lack of medical experience throw you. I know some other people in my class who were in other fields as well. You will ...

Hmmm... not sure how I posted that twice. Maybe I am the one I should be telling not to freak out!

Don't freak out yet!! You can do this! The problem would be dose desired/dose on hand X ml. 100/120 x 5mL = 4.16 answer 4.2 mL I don't think they will fail you. Usually you get another chance for the math tests. They might just want to see where ever...

Repeat after me... I can do this! Ok now that we have that out of the way, I know this can be done because I have been doing it. I work 40 hours a week, just finished Nursing 1 last semester. I still watch tv now and then, and I still have a life....

I think the stress level comes along with all the books we have to buy, all the reading we have to do, all the drugs that must be memorized. I have a feeling that you are definitely not alone, in fact I know you aren't! :) I am starting my 2nd sem...

LOL... I could have written that post! I wanted to know all the little things no one tells you also. I just finished my first semster, and starting Nursing 2 next week. I think if you keep up with the reading and not let yourself get behind that w...

I think your excitement is great. You have to keep that frame of mind going and it will serve you well. I have finished Nursing 1, took Microbiology this summer, so I have 3 more semesters. I hear negative things at times from some of my class mat...
