    LaCharity Questions

    Savvy20RN replied to juliekerrmark's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    La Charity questions were along the same lines as NCLEX, but now that I look back a day after taking NCLEX I have to say that the NCLEX was more difficult than anything in La Charity and La Charity...

    Computer testing tips?

    Savvy20RN replied to iluvmygolf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow! They told us not to write on the white boards until the test actually started which makes sense I guess. They didn't say that if you write too much your exam will go for review? What's the point...

    Savvy20RN replied to lindsmichelle's topic in General Students

    Yep, it's completely normal. I felt the same way. You're starting something new. It would be weird if you weren't a bit on edge. Best of luck and enjoy it while it last. It'll be over before you know...

    LaCharity prioritization/delegation/assignment book DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    Savvy20RN replied to 3fins's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Apparently! I got that question wrong too and I knew that Vfib= defib. My train of thought was that we're just going to stand around while someone runs to get a defibrillator. That didn't make sense,...

    OB Rotations

    Savvy20RN replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I didn't really care for OB. Working in the nursery was exciting, especially being the 'nurse' to assess twins right after they had been delivered. I think I could go a life time without watching...

    I hate nursing school....really thinking about leaving?

    Savvy20RN replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    I felt this way at different points throughout nursing school. I didn't like the classes. I made A's in almost all of my core classes and I can't seem to make higher than a B in these nursing classes....

    Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    Savvy20RN replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I call my professors by their last name. Dr./Professor whatever. I've done that my entire life out of respect for them. :) If a professor tells me to call them by their first name I'll do that, but...

    Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    Savvy20RN replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before I started nursing school A&P was the hardest course I had ever taken. After starting nursing school pharm was by far the hardest simply because I had a hard time remembering all of the...

    Need help with DRUGS!!!

    Savvy20RN replied to digs06's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've found that I learn about drugs if I give them at clinicals on a regular basis. Looking at a list of drugs for a pharm. exam was like looking at the wall. Hardly any of the information sank in. It...

    Please Share Your 5 Most Effective Study Strategies

    Savvy20RN replied to jd2nurse's topic in General Students

    1. Study small portions of notes at a time. Don't take all the notes from one lecture and study it all at once. You won't remember it. I study a bit one day. The next day I go over the stuff I studied...

    Most embarrassing mistake you've ever made

    I'm only been in nursing school one semester, but my most embarrassing moment so far is trying to wheel the blood pressure machine out of the room with it still attached to the patient. He was like "I...

    Savvy20RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Two months ago none of this would have made sense to me. I've learned so much since starting nursing school. -squeals- Thanks so much for this. We just started clinicals so this really helps.

    Savvy20RN replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting the nursing program this Fall. I start Monday as well. My advice for you guys taking pre-reqs is to take every class (even those art, physical education etc classes that seem pointless)...

    Recommendation: Who did you ask?

    Savvy20RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I have a problem. To apply for nursing school I need to get 3 people (recommendations) to fill out this survey about me. I can't ask family or friends, but I can ask an employer, instructor, youth...
