I'm interested in anything from conception (antepartal) to peds. Pediatric cardiology and NICU are some areas in which I've had experience (albeit that pediatric cardiology has been from a patient's perspective) that I like.

Your symptoms are similar to mine. I'm over a year post-ablation for WPW. They haven't found anything abnormal either. I'm concerned that a silent pathway may becoming active since they ablated the other accessory pathway. I have to schedule an appoi...

Thanks!

These are a couple of nursing quotes I pulled off of my facebook profile: The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.... ~William Osler Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, ...

I made a 97% on my Med/Surg final and received a 4.0 in Med/Surg theory and clinical, along with Nursing Seminar. Brings my cumulative GPA up to a 3.8.

All of my instructors are wonderful as well and will do everything they can to help their students succeed. It is nice to hear about the good experiences others have had with their instructors. I thoroughly enjoy and love my nursing program.

I got a 988 on my Fundamentals HESI which converts to a 91.45% :)

My instructor has been using my Patient Data Records (20-25 pages in length and full of everything about your patient) which I have received 20/20's on as examples to the other students and instructors of how they should be done. I also made a 100% o...

Pathophysiology was a pre-req for my program. I found that if you paid attention and did well in A&P, then you just build upon that knowledge a little bit and should do well. However, like others have said, if you didn't actually learn the materi...

The first semester we had one total care patient. This semester we again start off with one total care patient and can do a lot more than we could last semester such as oral medication administration, parenteral medications, urinary catheters, tube f...

Same here.

I am also starting my junior year on the 23rd and am ready to have a nursing class involving more pathophysiology instead of all therapeutic communication and the like.

Health Intervention II (med/surg I theory) 5 credits Nursing Science Practicum (med surg I clinical 6 credits) 2 - 9 hour clinical days Nursing Science Seminar 1 credit So 12 credits total, but I'm told that it'll still be difficult so that's why I C...

I agree with That Guy. I like the structure of a classroom setting and having deadlines. It'd be too easy for me to put off doing my work. If you are motivated and self-driven it might could work out. Best of luck to you!

I understand your frustration, but technically it is their business. It is their responsibly to make sure their students are safely taking care of patients. Any condition, including mental illness, that may interfere with your ability to safely perfo...

You just perfectly described one of my classmates. This person also thought that since they were repeating the class and "already knows all this" that they had to answer every question that was directed to the instructor.

My pre-reqs included pathophysiology, so that would be what I feel I should have spent more time on. If that course is included as a nursing class in your program, you shouldn't have to worry about it. A&P is really important, too, but you get a ...

I've only had twelve days of clinicals so far, so nothing hilarious, yet. I did introduce myself to one of my patients and said I'd be there all day to help with his care. He starts laughing and says, "Good, now you get to see what I have to put up w...

"Oh you'll never have a problem finding a job." If only they could read the posts on here.

In my program, you have to read ahead of time and actually retain some of the information. We have pop quizzes (8% of course total) relatively frequently, and if you just looked over the PowerPoint without reading (that is, if the instructor opened i...

That's why I came to the conclusion that they were stretching the truth, if not flat out lying. I figured the hospital had a policy like a previous poster mentioned about not providing maternity leave until a year after employment, and these graduate...

This is another good point. Grads who have interviewed at a local hospital have said that they are requiring them to sign an agreement to not get pregnant during their first year there. Now, I don't know if this is merely a rumor, but I find it ironi...

I know this wasn't directed at me specifically but I thought I could answer the question, too. At my school, CLEP tests do not have a grade or GPA attached to them, they provide you with credit in the class. I received credit for English 101 at my sc...

You're very welcome.
