  1. Sentara's new BSN program

    sneakymom2011 replied to hoping2nurse's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm currently enrolled to start in their last diploma class. We got the information a week ago (at our registration) that they were starting a BSN program. There's more prerequisites than the diploma...

    sneakymom2011 replied to aliviahs.mom07's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know I'm late (just registered on this site) but I'm accepted to Sentara's RN program starting in Aug 09

  3. No NET?

    sneakymom2011 replied to RescueGrrl211's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the same question. I'm applying to a hospital program where we have to take the NET. I bought the study guide the school reccomended, I hope I didn't just waste $50 on a book. The school has...

  4. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    sneakymom2011 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Ok, here goes. 1) I am busting my butt off in this class. I really don't care to share what my grade was on the last test. 2) Ok, so we can't do the retest. It's ONLY 3 pts for heaven's sake. Quit...

  5. Sick kids and nursing school

    sneakymom2011 replied to NN2BVE's topic in General Students

    At my school, you can only miss 10% of class (theory and lecture) before they ask you to leave. And that's not a whole lot considering my classes run 8 weeks each. And as far as clinical- well they...

  6. Does your school give back q's on exams?

    sneakymom2011 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    My school does this as well. We go over the test, and usually there's 1 question that the teacher "throws out". But everyone gets the extra 3 points, not just the people who missed it. I do have...

  7. Has anyone failed a test? I need some encouragement!

    sneakymom2011 replied to silly32girl's topic in General Students

    I did this week And now I have to bust my butt so that I can PASS this class. Because I have no intention of failing the class and having to drop back a cohort. At this point, as long as I get a C...

  8. The Nursing Math Thread

    sneakymom2011 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    We have 3 tries to get 80%. And that's a very good thing considering I didn't pass the dosage calculation test last

  9. The Nursing Math Thread

    sneakymom2011 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Dimensional analysis- UGH. I can use it when we're converting units. But doing the other drug calculations? For some reason I just can't "get it". Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, and I need to...

  10. fundamentals and med surg I are 8 week classes

    sneakymom2011 replied to vivasmom's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain. Our whole program is set up in 8 week stints. Fundamentals in 8 weeks wasn't too bad. Now I'm in Pharmacology/ Assessment. Man it just feels like we're getting stuff thrown at us!...

  11. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    sneakymom2011 replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I just finished my 1st fundamentals class, just started Assessment/Pharmacology. While we were learning the nursing process, I kept coming up with nursing diagnoses for EVERYTHING. The cat, the...

  12. Why so many fail out of our program?

    sneakymom2011 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    You wrote > It most certainly does suck. I've been in school for 8 weeks. We've lost 4 people in that time. Started with 28, we're now down to 24. The first 2 people, it didn't bother me. One...

  13. What Nursing Gear do you personally own?

  14. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    sneakymom2011 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    ugh. i have a teacher who reads pp notes word for word. i could have stayed at home and done that! and if you do use them, could you try to have them follow the book instead of jumping all over the...

  15. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

    sneakymom2011 replied to Mnstn's topic in General Students

    1) cost. This ADN program is half the cost of a BSN 2) acceptance. I applied to a 2nd degree BSN program. I was waaaayyyy on the bottom of the wait list. I applied to and got into this program the...

  16. The Nursing Math Thread

    sneakymom2011 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Hey- I just checked the books I had to buy for this semester, and that's one of them! Hopefully it'll be as helpful for me as you say. I don't have pharmacology until the second 8 week

  17. Class of 2010 (starting nursing school in Fall 2008)

    sneakymom2011 replied to RDH-NrsgStudent's topic in General Students

    Didn't see when the thread was first started. I start Monday, and graduate sometime in 2010 (hence my screen name

  18. tuition reimbursement after graduate?

    sneakymom2011 replied to EwokRN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think they all do, in some way or another. I guess I'm going to go the student loan route. I've already got this semester taken care of. I've seen some hospitals that have $8000 or so sign-on...
