I like the line my med-surg instructor had about her tests (multiple choice) : "This should be an easy test, all the answers are on it!"

I can tell you about the two in our program that had babies during the program...one did not make it to the second semester..she had to miss too much due to the birth. The other one has constantly questioned whether she should go on....no time for th...

At our school it was one of the "suggested" books this semester. I keep it in my purse as a study guide when I have a few minutes while waiting on the kids....

I agree, I am a student and I have a prestige medical that was under $20.00 and an ultra scope that was about $100.00...I think I can hear better with the cheaper one. I have also borrowed a Littman and can't tell the difference...

Guess I was doing something wrong....my husband got it to work on his computer.....

Looks like that is a link to an x-rated site, and it tried to download something to my computer....not sure I would try this one if I were you....I will let you know if I get a computer virus from it:chuckle

Nurse Izzy, I know what you mean about the last grade postings...here is my journal entry for that day: The aftermath of the pharmacology exam-- The aftermath of the pharmacology exam resembled a funeral. One by one we filed from the classroom after ...

Thanks Rhona, how are things going for you? I think most of our class questions our decision to enter nursing. I hope things get better after this first shock wears off.....I can be confident one hour and want to quit the next.

I am just going to copy what I wrote in my nursing diary about today for those who are interested...what a week! Today was the first day of the hospital clinical and most of us had the same shell-shocked expressions as the first day of the nursing ...

You can also just cover the original page with a plastic report cover and use the dry erase markers on that if you want to save money and not have all those extra papers/transparencies to keep track of...the amount of paper in nursing school is overw...

I personally try to avoid summer classes...1. Because I like the break. 2. Summer classes are more work because you have the same amount of material in a shorter time frame. (I took anatomy two in the summer and there was a test on new material ever...

The aftermath of the pharmacology exam resembled a funeral. One by one we filed from the classroom after saying goodbye to our last test. Small groups gathered in the hall and the cafeteria, the mood was not joyous, some were sad, some were crying, s...

that's great stephany! what will you be taking 2nd semester? i am looking forward to being at a hospital...we had clinicals at a nursing home first semester. hang in there, i can't wait until we all are posting about graduating! :nurse: :nurse:

Well, I made it! We lost 5 out of 30 students and there was only one "A" in the entire class! I can't believe this semester is over...I don't know what to do tonight....feel like I should be studying something!

Four more hours until the results are posted!! The time is passing sooooo slowly! I feel ill! :imbar

In our program, they said they lose the most people because of Pharmacology...I agree it is better to start off as best you can...my grades were high enough that I only have to get about 40 right answers out of 100 on the last test, but one girl said...

Could it be that difficulty swallowing would be something a nurse could do something about and the bowel thing is a medical problem that would only be handled by a Doctor? I know I got tricked on a question before because some things are a nursing di...

We get grades....For the clinical class, first semester, 60% of the total grade comes from our clinical work and 40% from our lab check offs, CD ROM quizes and a math exam. There is a very long form the clinical instructor uses to rate us on differen...

Hi Deb, You have been in my thoughts the past couple of days...hope you have been able to come to a decision.(maybe got an encouraging report in A&P???)...hang in there...we care.

Hi Deb, I am sorry to hear that things are not going well. I can relate to a lot of your post. I have not enjoyed this year as much as I thought I would, the thought of quitting went through my mind more than once. The amount of work in the nursing c...
