What question do you have, rabia3112? There are no easy nursing classes. If general studies classes seem easy, that is great. Keep in mind that you will have to take them at the same time with nursing...
It sounds like you had a good plan. I am doing Saunders (the blue one) too. Doing Kaplan "everything." So much material to go over! Thank you for replying. It feels comforting. If I am nervous...
Our transcripts were not sent yet (no email notification). Ready or not, I have to test in June. I only found few centers in VA. There are many? To be honest, I am a little concerned about ever being...
I think you should go to GMU and talk to someone. As you said, it is less tan 5 miles away. You will feel so much better. It is nice to have a plan. I just got my ADN from NVCC. Now I have to pass...
Congratulations! You made a good choice! I just graduated from Nova, well... officially, yesterday.Feel free to ask any questions. Flames9 got me through my first year of nursing school (thank you,...
I am nervous every time too. What helps me, is to talk it out. I tell my nurse what I am going to do before I go to the patient's room and ask her to watch me. It helps me to talk about the procedure...
It really is a good idea to take some prerequisits right now. Northern Virginia Community College, for example, offers classes online. You could take online classes from anywhere and take care of your...
Flames, congratulations on passing NCLEX. Sorry I am off the topic, but we all (nursing students)will have to go through it eventually, right? After graduation, did you take some sort of review...
We were wondering the same thing our first year. We didn't learn anything yet, why are we taking that test? It was not hard, but I took my time and did very well. Some questions were about...
Traditional and accelerated started at the same time last Fall. A few people were able to switch after first semester from traditional to accelerated because of the family situation ( husband deployed...

I think Saturdays were for accelerated program students only last year. They graduate one semester sooner than traditional students BUT they have to work harder during the summer. Are you planning on...

Have you looked at online nursing program? Maybe it is more flexible? I am in traditional. Whoa, it is intense I am stay at home mom and I had to do a lot of kid-ignoring while studying. Also, my...
I would just sign it with sharpie. You will have a copy of your BLS card in your clinical portfolio not the original document anyway. Hope that helps :wink2: (Last year we were asked to include only...
I am just wondering how different second year of nursing school might be. I am taking NUR255 online this summer because I am trying to make the school work load lighter for the Fall. (thanks for the...
ha ha ha When I had to drive to Springfield for the lecture last school year, it took me sometimes an hour and half to drive back home because of the traffic! Our first semester, clinicals were...
"Can you wear your stethoscope on one of those hip clips?" We agreed it's a waste of money. That thing is actually annoying because it's not that simple to attach stethoscope to it. It was a good...
If had to buy uniform all over again, I would order their scrub top but get pants somewhere else. One of my classmates has pants she bought in the Mall that have nice cut and look great. Just make...
You can do it! I know people with four kids who are doing it. I know people with full time jobs who are doing it. Every time I am scared, I look at those people, promiss myself to take one day at a...
