  1. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am trying to switch my clinical section. I have had a work conflict come up. I am looking for 0B7H or 0A7H (Inova Fairfax for psych and Iliff for med surg). Please send me a private message if...

  2. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Ouch. I am too much of a night owl for that, but I can see why you are doing the early clinical. Do you have kids? I find that I have to do so much after they are in bed that I can never get to bed...

  3. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, I have no issue with Wednesday personally. I can see that about the lecture, but I always have to be up early at work anyway. I am sure it will probably suck being at clinical until 8:30 the...

  4. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My work is so particular about days. I had stupidly assumed it would be fine to be out Mondays. I also can't do Tuesday mornings. You've seen our clinical offerings - what can you do if you can't...

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know, that's the one I just dropped.

  6. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I just ended up taking my second choice clinical. All this stress was so not worth it and I want to just enjoy the last few days of my break, damn it.

  7. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    NursingGeek replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My experience was that it was pretty straightforward and what they said it would be. I didn't apply when it was "competitive" though, so i don't know what it's like

  8. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    NursingGeek replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It depends, one semester it was one question per page and one semester it was just one page with 50 questions. I am sure there are people who would find a way to cheat, I am just not sure how they...

  9. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    NursingGeek replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes, we do the exams from home except the midterm or final. The rationale I think is that the exams take so long and you only have so much time to take them, that if you went and looked stuff up, you...

  10. How many of you were older when you went into nursing?

    NursingGeek replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I started clinicals at 29 and will be graduating at 30. I am in the younger third or so of my class, actually, which surprised me a

  11. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    NursingGeek replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know, I was mostly being tongue in cheek. I have an odd sense of humor

  12. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    NursingGeek replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Oh, and... It'd be the one you kept looking at while thinking, "who is that? I've never seen him/her before. Did they actually let new people into the third semester or

  13. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    NursingGeek replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    :chuckle It's cool to find this board with people who are also in my program. It is reinforcing my suspicion, though, that until now the online program has existed in a completely separate world...

  14. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    How weird is this? I just heard of someone through a friend who might want to switch with me for a different peds section. She wants to be in my section and give me OA5h (which is a different peds...

  15. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    NursingGeek replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Oh, and I TOTALLY agree with this. I have just been wondering what would cause her clinical to be open when all the others were full - I figured there has to be a story or something, you know?

  16. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    NursingGeek replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think I know someone in that rotation from the online program. We're all scared of you people in the "general population", as we keep joking about. The online program only has about 25 students in...

  17. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    NursingGeek replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's really good to know. I heard that from another faculty member I had in my summer rotation- she said mrs. A. has students near the end of her clinical who have 4 patients and you will exit her...

  18. Anyone attending NOVA 3rd semester (NUR216) this fall?

    NursingGeek replied to NursingGeek's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's interesting. I have no frame of reference for what is considered popular, because our program has been so separate from everything else. We took 111 in Spring and 118 in Summer, so we didn't...

  19. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    NursingGeek replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Why are people afraid of her? I haven't dealt with her yet, I am in the online program so there are some profs I just haven't dealt with yet. I was considering that clinical if I can't find anyone to...

  20. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    NursingGeek replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I should have just posted here, lol. I started a new thread that is very similar. I am anxiously awaiting the blackboard for 216 so I can email the rest of the class to try and switch. I am trying...

  21. RN School and Work? Is it possible?

    NursingGeek replied to SoontobeNorfolkRN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I work 30 hours while in nursing school, I have to work that many at a minimum or I would not have health insurance any more with my job. I am going into the second year of my ADN program and I am...

  22. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    NursingGeek replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am in the online nursing program. You either love the online lectures or you hate them. I personally find it very difficult to sit through 4 hours of power point slides. I always have to listen...

  23. TEAS Preparation - has anyone taken this before?

    NursingGeek replied to lexi917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS a few months ago and used the preparation manual sold by ATI. If you use the manual, you should do fine. I needed refreshers on some of the physics and earth science related stuff...
