    mama2_3 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I found digital recorder useful for that exact reason. I only used it twice so far and it gave me peace of mind. I have to figure out how to divide the recorded material because I wish I could just...

    mama2_3 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Congratulations on passing that drug dosage exam Flames9! Way to go! Nursing school is very different than general studies. I personally do not feel as confident. There are so many bright people...

  10. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    mama2_3 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think they did rectal temp only for the last year's students because they had non-competitive admission to the nursing program. This year, after going competitive, they might think it was enough of...

    mama2_3 replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

  16. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    mama2_3 replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That is a good question. I am not laughing. :) I wonder when they take status into consideration? My guess it is in the end when they decide who is on a top of the list. I would call and ask just to...

  20. NOVA Need to switch Clinical Assignments

    mama2_3 replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    As I understood, we won't have the same instructor or location twice. I will be fine this semester, but next... I didn't even get into NUR150 this semester. I don't know what happened, but that class...

    mama2_3 replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    mama2_3 replied to naide88's topic in Virginia Nursing

    They just gave us a list that had names of students put in groups with randomly assigned locations. That was it. You can't really choose. You can only hope (or trade). I was glad I didn't have...
