  1. Bluegrass BCTCS Nursing Students

    Neoma posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I've applied for the fall 2008 semester. I qualified for the rolling admission, but know that's no guarantee of acceptance. Any current or former Bluegrass students willing to given an idea of...

  2. Students that cheat

    Neoma replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

    In our program, there are at least four different versions of the exam handed out. At least four of the nursing instructors are in the class while the exam is taking place. No books, phones, cups,...

  3. HELP W/ Nursing Study Books

    Neoma replied to hersmoms's topic in General Students

    Ditto what Daytonite said. I'm second semester also. I really like the Saunders book. It's divided into sections and I use it as an additional study aid for exams. For example, we just finished the OB...

  4. what do you wish you knew back then??

    Neoma replied to NurseTeacher1's topic in General Students

    I'm almost at the end of first year. It's flown by! Don't get behind in reading. Read the material before lecture. I make notes to myself if there's something that I just don't grasp when reading....

  5. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    Neoma replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    We don't wear scrubs for anything other than clinicals, and when we have to do a video skill

  6. Need encouragement and advice

    Neoma replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

    I don't know which book you're using for A&P. We used the one by Marieb and Hoehn. It's Anatomy and Physiology seventh edition. There was a website from the publisher of the book that had quizzes...

  7. Daily planner

    Neoma replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    This is a bit 'low-tech', but it works for me. I bought one of the desk calendars at Walmart. The big one that is supposed to sit on your desk. It was less than 3.00. It is blank so you just write in...

  8. Recommended Nursing Books for RN Students

    Neoma replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    I'm first year still, and two books that I swear by: Nursing Diagnosis Handbook; An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care is great for doing care plans. Saunder's NXCLEX Review is another. When I'm...

  9. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Neoma replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Students

    I just put my first one into a patient last week at clinicals. The only way I'd it up to that point was on a mannequin. The patient was in labor, had just had her epidural put in, so we were good. I...

  10. Where Can I get a good Nursing Care plan book?

    Neoma replied to MrsPratt06's topic in General Students

    I bought Nursing Diagnosis Handbook; An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care 8th edition by Ackley and Ladwig last semester. I helped a lot. It was actually a requirement for us; came on our PDA...

  11. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    Neoma replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    I just turned 42 a week ago. I'm in my first semester of nursing school. Graduation is May 2010. Go for it! A lot of the students in our class are my age and older. Good

  12. Thinking of moving to Kentucky

    Neoma replied to TrickieTam's topic in General Nursing

    Another Alabama transplant here. We moved here from Montgomery though. I'm not a nurse yet - still in nursing school. Just wanted to say hi. :)

  13. NLN Exam, and BCTC vs. ECTC

    Neoma replied to loganlee270's topic in General Nursing

    BCTC is really competitive too. They accept around 120 each year, but there are a lot more than that that apply. If you want to improve your score, you may want to get the NLN review. I feel like it...

  14. Anxiety about first clinical

    Neoma replied to Bacillus subtilis's topic in General Students

    Take a deep breath. I'm a first semester nursing student, also. We did long-term care the first sixth weeks, and just started our second rotation for this semester at the hospital this week. They are...

  15. Any Older Nursing Students Near Lexington, KY?

    Neoma replied to KentuckyRN2Be's topic in General Students

    Hi, KentuckyRN2Be. I'm about an hour east of Lexington - Mt Sterling. I just started nursing school in August and will graduate in May 2010. What school are you attending? I'm at BCTC in Lexington....

  16. BCTC. What are my odds?

    Neoma replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

    Unless they've changed it, you have to have your A & P I done when you apply. Did you already go to one of the pre-nursing conferences yet? I know that was a requirement for us - I just started my...

  17. NLN RN Pre entrance exam

    Neoma replied to calebisaiah's topic in General Nursing

    I used the NLN study guide. I ended up with a 92% overall. I feel like it helped me. I just went through as much of it as I could - should have spent more time on the science part of it:D. I also went...

  18. Anyone Taking the CNA class at Bluegrass this fall?

    Neoma replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    I took it in Winchester over the summer. I'm starting nursing classes this semester, so I had to do it over the summer. I did it over three weeks. It was a lot of reading. The best advice I can give...

  19. Bluegrass BCTCS Nursing Students

    Neoma replied to Neoma's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the advice. I guess I'm just getting nervous the closer it gets. :) I'd really like to work at UK when I graduate - I know that's probably a bit premature to even really think of at...

  20. Bluegrass BCTCS Nursing Students

    Neoma replied to Neoma's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both. I knew we had to do the 120 last semester, but I didn't realize about the 120 after. Although, that's a good thing in my opinion. That was one of the things that was tickling the back...

  21. Bluegrass BCTCS Nursing Students

    Neoma replied to Neoma's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!! I remember them mentioning that at the pre-nursing conference we had to attend before applying for the program. So the 120 hours is after you graduate? Just from the way they were...

  22. BCTCS Fall 2008

    Neoma replied to wildcatRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! That's wonderful. I'm enrolled in J0006. I don't remember the instructor's name right off, but that's the class number. My GPA was 4.0, but I didn't take the ACT; I took the NLN instead. I...

  23. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    Neoma replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    It must be new for the class starting this fall. It was on our required list through the bookstore, along with the software. I called the bookstore, but they don't know which PDA and software as...

  24. BCTCS Fall 2008

    Neoma replied to wildcatRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! I start in fall 2008, also. Which campus are you enrolled in? I'll be at Cooper.

  25. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    Neoma replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Mt Sterling. I start nursing school this fall in Lexington at BCTC. I start my CNA class next week. Not sure which school you're going to KyLady, but Bluegrass is requiring PDA's this fall....
