I'm curious as to how hard it is to keep a 4.0 all 4 semesters? I got a 4.0 this past semester, which was my first, but I feel that's only because it's the easiest. I heard 4th was a killer at my school and straight "A" students were barely passing. ...

I just got a pair of all white Nike Shox....LOVE THEM....they cost me about $110 from footlocker.com.....I'd been wanting a pair of shox for a long time though...

There have been a couple threads with people wondering how to study so, I thought it would be good to make one thread where people can give their best tips. The best piece of advice I can give to an incoming student is to NOT study over the summer. ...

These are the things we learned and we're checked off on. Once we were checked off, we were able to do them in the hospital if they needed done: Hand washing Physical Assessment Vitals Oral meds Sub Q and IM injections Foley cath NG tube Wound care C...

I chose a 2 -year program because it's the only nursing program near my home. All the hours are 2+ hours away. Also, they say the one I go to is one of the best ADN programs on the east coast. I'm not trying to brag, but that was just one of the reas...

I took stats online, with a foriegn teacher who spoke very poor English and therefore the instructions were hard to follow but, I still loved he class and ended up with a "B". I'm also horrible at math. I'd say go for it...but only if you can take th...

i attend evening classes!

Wow, we are extremely similar! I have to set three different alarms on my phone so I make sure that I get up on time. I also have to check them three times each every night before I go to bed to make sure I didn't put it in as p.m. instead of a.m. I'...

I know there was already a thread started todayabout it, but it seemed to be going off the ADD direction so I was just wondering if anyone here has OCD in nursing school? I do, and it's becoming really hard for me. I have to check the MAR at least 11...

I bought some shoes at a nursing store for class last semester and hated them. I just got some new Nike Shox because everyone I know recommends them. We have to have ALL white so here's the link to the ones I got (because finding all white is hard : ...

I have the same problem with intrusive thoughts! These things pop into my head and sometimes I can't believe I'm thinking about it and I have to realize it's the OCD. That's a good idea about saying things out loud. I can't get it in my mind that som...

I do understand where you're coming from, but it gets annoying when all I can think about is whether or not I gave the right med and keep questioning myself, even after I've checked the MAR 11+ times. I definitely can't do that forever.

I don't have to take any classes over the summer, but I feel like I'm starting to forget some of the info. from first semester already....so do you guys brush up over the summer or just take a break? I'm thinking about rereading the chapters we went ...

I am already about $20,000 in debt, with 3 semester until I get my ASN. I plan to go to Johns Hopkins to get my bachelors and then masters so, I'll be around $100,000 (or more) in debt when I'm completely done.

Im about to click the button to buy it...but I thought I'd check here first. Anyone have it and would recommend it? My stethoscope now is crap...it was only $10 and I bought it from some uniform store, so anything would be a step up.

will I still be eligible to practice as an NP with just a master's degree? I've read through the thread at the top addressing this issue, but I read they want the DNP mandatory BY 2015, which leaves the possibility of it being required before then. I...

Hi! I'm just an undergrad. nursing student now, but I'm trying to look at all the options for advanced nursing. So....what is being an SRNA like? What made you choose to do it? What are your responsibilites? Is it fun? And how horribly hard is the ...

I may be a rare one (and I'll be knocking on wood), but I don't think that nursing school is as hard as I thought it was going to be. I study maybe an average of 5-6 hours a week. I actually do have a lot of free time. I study the night before a test...

"A Matter of Degree By the year 2015, a doctorate of nursing practice will become the required degree for nurses in advanced practice fields, according to a new ruling by the AACN." -From the Johns Hopkins SON website So it is a definite now? I h...

I was just reading up on what a CNS and read that an NP and a CNS are virtually the same thing in most states, so if the DNP becomes mandatory to be an NP, wouldn't it be easier just to become a CNS?

Thanks for all the replies! I am lucky because at my school an "A" is a 90%, a "B" is an 82% and above, and to pass you have to have a 77%. I just want to clarify that I'm not someone who is neurotic over my grades and has to have all "A's". I've jus...

One more question if you don't mind....Is the DNP requirement to be an NP guaranteed thing yet or is it still just speculaion?

Thanks! Although I was hoping to hear a different answer! So, would hvaing to have a DNP degree deter you from being an NP or is there not too much of a difference between the two programs?

I have OCD. It's really bad when it comes to giving meds because I have to check the MAR at least 11 times and I always make someone else check it for me. It's been a struggle...but I am definitely going to go to therapy before I become a nurse becau...

I'm currently in an associate's nursing program and while I love it and have always wanted to be a nurse, I'm quickly learning that this kind of nursing is not exactly what I want to do. I'm very interested in becoming an NP, with a specialty in onco...
