  1. Last semester students when will you apply for a job and what specialty?

    VenaKavaRN replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    I'm not a senior, but I will say that your instructor is right. It's really not too early to apply for jobs. Most units where I've worked will begin your orientation to the floor before you get your...

  2. Graduation Day is FINALLY Here!!!!!!

    VenaKavaRN replied to ~MIA~'s topic in General Students

    :ancong!: Thank you for proving that it CAN be

  3. First Semester and I am extremely stressed.

    VenaKavaRN replied to patricianyc's topic in General Students

    Breathe deeply and take it one day at a time. This is par for the course in nursing school, so you are definitely not alone. Chances are your classmates are having the exact same struggles. They can...

  4. Those who have taken the TEAS - Study guides

    VenaKavaRN replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    If you haven't taken a break from school, then you probably are pretty familiar with most everything that's in there. I found the TEAS quite a bit simpler and not on the same level as the ACT/SAT. If...

  5. Those who have taken the TEAS - Study guides

    VenaKavaRN replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    That's the exact study manual I used, and it worked well for me. It was really good about going over the stuff that were on the actual exam, especially the mathematics

  7. Is it worth $100

    VenaKavaRN replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    Only you can really decide if it's worth the price tag. If you learn really well by listening to lectures and your instructor is primarily lecturing, then yes I'd say it'll be worth it. If most of...

  8. Fear of Failure

    VenaKavaRN replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Students

    I was exactly like you with being afraid of the math. The good news is, the math isn't that complicated, and just a little tutoring is very likely to get you through this. I did very well on my dosage...

  9. really scared of my pt tomorrow

    VenaKavaRN replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Look at the bright side - you're going to learn a hell of a

  10. My first 12hr shift !

    VenaKavaRN replied to DerekDoug's topic in General Students

    Yes, it's hard to get used to at first, but it will also fly right on by. Take your lunch (and eat it!!) as well as a mid afternoon snack (or two). If you're doing day shift, you'll be busy for the...

  11. Taking two anatomy classes at once

    VenaKavaRN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Bio and Micro you might could do successfully. But not two A&P classes. Still, it will be time consuming. Quit trying to cut corners and just do the work. If you finish your pre-reqs a semester...

  13. Future Nursing Student- ABC News article that was so interesting!!!

    VenaKavaRN replied to csackett01's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's an extremely good article! It tells it like it is - it's right on about why there's a nursing shortage, from lack of spots in schools to bad working conditions. Great find

  14. Nursing students getting in a BSN program...

    VenaKavaRN replied to Nellifuturenurse2010's topic in General Students

    The only upper division general ed we were required to take was something in history, and there were several 3000 level courses that didn't have prerequisites that counted as that upper

  15. cheating classmate

    VenaKavaRN replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Since you haven't seen anything yourself, I'd recommend you stay out of it. Since you have seen nothing, you're not obligated to report anything. Just keep your grades up and don't add to the stress...

  16. Nursing students getting in a BSN program...

    VenaKavaRN replied to Nellifuturenurse2010's topic in General Students

    Wow, I can't imagine having to suffer through general ed classes in addition to my nursing ones :/ Big kudos to those of you having to do that. My school actually doesn't allow you to take anything...

  17. Passing Some Students Who Failed!!!!!!

    VenaKavaRN replied to GlennatheIncredible's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you failed Med-Surg by that small of a margin This has happened in my nursing school too - some people are just 'special' enough that they don't have to actually pass. I'd let it slide for...

  18. Unit Secretery

    VenaKavaRN replied to HCRkam's topic in General Students

    I fill in occasionally as a unit secretary, and it can be stressful. Weekday day shifts will be the most busy, with a lot of people making miscellaneous demands on your time. At my hospital, the unit...

  19. Frustrated Foley Catheter Insertions

    VenaKavaRN replied to Delta18's topic in General Students

    Ugh, what a mess. I love it when they try to make "learning opportunities" out of the cheap stuff they have in the lab. Ask her to demonstrate for you. Not only will this solve the language barrier...

  20. I have a few nursing Questions if anyone can please answer them!! Thanks!!

    VenaKavaRN replied to TCLA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the end, it's only you that can decide whether or not you want to do this. If you're still having doubts, just try a few college-level courses like the basic biology or chemistry and see how you...

  21. How is the Nursing School Different form Pre-Reqs?

    VenaKavaRN replied to futuredream's topic in General Students

    You will hit the ground running your first day of nursing school and stop only for Christmas and summer breaks. Nursing school is mostly about time management - fitting in the demanding amount of...

  22. Getting into a Nursing Program

    VenaKavaRN replied to CUBritt08's topic in General Nursing

    Most schools don't allow you to take anything but the nursing courses because it is so time consuming. There's really very little time for doing prereqs between clinicals and classes. My school loves...

  23. 3 Days Until 3rd Semester

    VenaKavaRN replied to Lyndalee's topic in General Students

    I also recommend that when your brain starts to turn to mush, you may want to try studying in a different way. For example, when I get tired of reading from the textbook, I make use of the online...

  24. Help me figure out where to get my NLN score

    VenaKavaRN replied to chelsie918's topic in General Students

    Why won't it let you log in as a member? If you took the exam, it sounds like you should have some kind of ID or testing #. Maybe it's the same as what you used to take the

  25. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

    VenaKavaRN replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    This. As callous as it sounds, you are not there to make friends. Just focus on getting yourself through the program in one
