  1. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

    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 classes.
  2. How long did it take you to get you ATT after garduation? Was it hard to find available spot to test for NCLEX? Thank you so much for your time :)
  3. NVCC graduates, when did you take NCLEX?

    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 thinking about NCLEX now, I wonder how I will actually f...
  4. NVCC graduates, when did you take NCLEX?

    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 ready. Taking Kaplan review right now but feel li...
  5. NVCC Nursing program

    I took HESI test not TEAS, sorry.
  6. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

    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 NCLEX. GMU is great, but there are other options.
  7. NVCC Nursing program

    I took ITE115 instead of computer competency exam.
  8. NVCC Nursing program

    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, flames9). I hope to be just as helpful :hug: Good lu...
  9. Extreme Anxiety during clinicals

    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 before performing it. The more you do the task th...
  10. Student Dilemma

    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 baby at the same time. Although some science clas...
  11. NVCC Program Curriculum

    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 class? How much time did it take you to get ready? I k...
  12. NVCC Fall '09

    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 prioritizing. Let's say you have four patients. Who do you at...
  13. NOVA Accelerated vs Traditional

    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 e.t.c ). I am in traditional and I like it. I do ...
  14. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    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 getting BSN eventually? Maybe you could continue ...
  15. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    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 husband is very supportive. He was arranging his sche...

    Psych (NUR201) final didn't have math, but all other tests did.
  17. NVCC-NUR Enrollment question

    KinderCare opens at 6:30am.
  18. BLS Card

    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 copies because if you lose your portfolio you can r...
  19. NVCC second year

    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 advice flames) What do you think? Will it be a lot...
  20. ?'s about NVCC

    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 assighned to us. Some people had an over hour commute. ...
  21. ?'s about NVCC

    "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 idea but I guess it didn't work as well as creators t...
  22. ?'s about NVCC

    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 sure it's the right color. Also, I wish I ordered my ...

  24. ?'s about NVCC

    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 time, and move on.
