Hi all. I was looking on ebay for some study material and came across a couple of booklets from Mosby that say they are part of the Memory Notebook Series. They look really good and I'd like to buy (or at least look at!) the entire series, but when ...

if so...how do you handle it while in classes/clinicals? this terrifies me.

I can't relate on a musician level, but I can in other ways. I'm a writer, and want to be a novelist. I miss it now that I am in school because I rarely have time to write anything, much less novels or what I love to write! I had a hard time decidi...

Does anyone have a link or a file with a good metric system conversion chart? Just some basics volume, weight, etc. I can do that math, just the basic level conversions I can't seem to find on the internet anywhere and our book is terrible. Thanks.

close your eyes, press forward, and don't look back. you will be glad you did! I'm serious. if you start thinking about all the "what ifs" you will scare yourself. I've noticed that in myself lately. My questions go like this: "what if I fail?.....

daytonite, this is perfect! thanks so much. the second one from the top is closest to what i was looking for. again-- thanks!

thanks!

This is SO true! I really hadn't thought about it in those words, but yeah... really well said... i've been doing the same thing today.

I am single mom of two very young girls with my family no where around me. People often tell me that I'm crazy or even worse spout off things like "how would you do that??" "I admire you because I could never, ever do what you're doing>" (which r...

I just started, and when I graduate in 2 years and sit for my NCLEX I will have an AA degree. I don't know about the BAN though, I've never heard of that.

puggymae, What a great idea! I can imagine that it really lightens some of your students up when they realize that nursing school can be fun and casual at times as well. You sound like you'd be a great teacher to have. We met all of our teachers a...

I start on the 27th! We had one orientation back in June, and have another one on the 13th before we start. I just got word that our books are in and available to pick up, but I'm out of state until the 12th so I can't get them yet, though I'd love...

$20 a credit hour? that's what it costs to go to school in california? did arnold make that happen...or was that sarcastic? lol.. sorry, i don't watch the news much.

Our orientation comes in two days. We had one in July where it was all day from 9-4. We got a 2hr lunch break where we had to do drug testing and buy our uniforms at that time. They also gave us a lot of information. What classes would be like, wh...

What works for you? I've heard that you should study in 20 minute incriments... 20 minutes, take a 5 minute break, etc... but this seems really short and just when I'm getting into it, it's break time! I also don't retain much sitting down and study...

thank you for all the responses! i guess i just need to figure out what works best for me in retaining stuff. daytonite, i've bookmarked all those sites, so i will go back and look at them in more depth for sure!

Have you thought about being a CNA? It's a great way to learn about what nursing will be like because you work directly with them and can learn all sorts of stuff from them.

hi everyone. it seems i have read through a lot of threads about failing lately. so i'm curious, what does it take to fail... ie, get kicked out? i know every school/program is probably different, but what's it like in your school? i'm going into n...

Brandi, I did all the labs at home. I had to buy a microscope and a lab kit. There were times that I had to use my family/friends to help. But yeah I took every last one of them online through the Colorado Community Colleges website. I really like ...

Do instructors generally care if you have to leave class (or clinicals) for bathroom breaks?

They are required for students where I'll be going... I've been wondering why, guess I know now! They sound like a great investment.

Wow... it is sooo comforting to know that I'm not alone in this. I mean, I'm so sorry that you all are sufferers too, but I really have been wondering if it's even possible to be in nursing school with it. I had a doctor laugh and tell me it'd be nex...

I didn't take the HESI, but I took the NET and they didn't ask which was a noun, verb, adjective etc...

Sorry, I forgot to answer this. I am in Northwest Colorado near Grand Junction.

Thank you for all the responses and encouragement! Being a single mom, I took all of my pre-req's through distance learning. The thought of actually having to go to class is pretty scary! I go to oreintation on June 18th, so maybe I'll see then wha...
