this is a great website. this has just about every skill you will ever need. http://www.saddleback.edu/alfa/ good luck!!

Interesting posts here. In our school, each of our exams cover a number or topics. We have certain instructors that teach certain topics and they are responsible for that particular topic on the exam. No one instructor is responsible for the whole th...

I would absolutely invest in a rolling backpack! I think being nervous is part of the gig...especially if you are going into your first semester. The biggest thing to adjust to is the amount of time you have to devote to studying. It helps if you spe...

If I remember correctly...we will be re-taking that final within the first two weeks...don't quote me...there was a lot going on that night and I could be mistaken. I'm totally stoked about this semester...we got a taste of ob this past semester beca...

Nursing school is not near as bad as some posters here are leading you to believe. Yes, it's hard...but anything worth having is worth working for...right? You need to be prepared to study, study, study...but not too much. Please make sure that you s...

I'm going into my second semester of NS and let me tell you...there is NO WAY that I could have carried all my books, medical supply bag, purse, and other "things" without having a set of "wheels." I bought a rolling duffle bag at Wal-Mart for $25 an...

Hey you...I'm glad to see that you are moving onto second semester. I am also...Yahoo!! Mrs. Allen was telling us during the last clinical date that we are re-taking the final exam from last semester to see how much info we retained. And I met a thir...

Try this one. This is the one we use as our school and it is good. http://saddleback.edu/alfa/

What kind of prerequisites are you not able to transfer over? If they are the required pre-reqs for the jc program and they are not transferrable...maybe you can just test out of those at the jc. Here in Texas, you can request an exit exam on courses...

Wow guys! My experience has been just the opposite! Granted I only have finished week 1 but I am having such a good time that I feel guilty now!! Our instructors are awesome...they are all excited and full of energy. The lectures are interesting and ...

I'm also a first semester nursing student so I understand some of the first posters concerns. So, the thinking that you are talking about, is this what our instructors are refering to when they say "critical thinking?" I've heard this phrase a number...

OMGoodness...What a post!!! I have chills that are running down my body!! Beautiful...Beautiful...Beautiful!!!

I understand now. Thanks for the help.

I'm a little confused about some of the topics posted on this board. When you say pharm, is that pharmacology? So, we have two different classes that are part of the first semester nursing program. We have RNSG 1523--Introduction To Professional Nurs...

These are the list of 1523/1462 Faculty that we have Sharon Allen Ginger Dossman Nena Gordon Cynthia McAdams Angela Tibbitt Do any of these people sound familiar and if they do...how were they as instructors or faculty...nice and helpful or something...

I'm starting my first semester on January 14th and I'm about to go crazy waiting!! I mentioned this to my husband and he thought I was nuts! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one going through this. I'm a stay at home mom who does all of the dom...

Kukukajoo, I went back and re-read your initial post. This is part of what you wrote "So new years, we are at this party together..." After reading that statement, I thought that you and your ex co-worker went to the party together which one would as...

Oh yeah!! Royal blue from top to bottom!! Dr. Rena said that we have prior nursing students to thank for that. They got to pick out our current colors and I really like them. I could just imagine white pants. OMGoodness...what if your monthly "friend...

I am actually looking forward to the challenge. What really scares me most is the other students. After reading some posts on this board...about cutthroat students and cliques, I'm not sure what to expect. So far, my experience on campus has been won...

Good to meet ya!! I guess that I will be seeing you in a few days!! How excited are you? Probably about as excited as I am!! PM me, maybe we met at Orientation. Did you get your shoes yet? I'm not sure what kind would be the best to get. I want to ge...

Banana Scrubs is a brand of scrubs that they make in the Waco area. They have a store on Sanger Ave. by the old Target store. I guess that they want everyone wearing the same color so they make you buy Banana Scrubs to ensure that everyone looks unif...

If it's anything like mine was in December, you will discuss the things you will need for the first day of class. Uniforms, attendence, immunizations, background and drug screening, books and equipment needed, just general things like that. I'm actu...

I don't know. They changed the evening program to the afternoon program because too many students were falling asleep! My neice graduated in 1999 and she had Sandy Rena is an instructor. Now, Dr. Rena is our Interim Program Director and she absolutel...

CNA, LVN, RN, there is no shame in any of these titles!! They all work at different levels to provide patient care...I am just a lowly student nurse, but I am itching for my first semester to be over so I can become a CNA and then a LVN after my seco...
