  1. angelo state university nursing program

    Nepenthe Sea replied to kponderRN's topic in General Students

    Sorry to see you haven't received a reply yet. I am not going to Angelo State, but I used to live close to SA, so I'm familiar with the area. I am an Amarillo College student, and nobody from that...

  2. How to study for nursing exams?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Tamch's topic in General Students

    That's why I really pay attention to the rationales. If I understand WHY an answer is right, and WHY the other answers are wrong, that information tends to stick with me. We have a required book in...

  3. How to study for nursing exams?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Tamch's topic in General Students

    Use all of the resources that you have for studying. Use text, notes, any CD-ROMS that come with your books, NCLEX review books (even testing myself on the sections we haven't gotten to helps me,...

  4. Advice on pre-requisites

    Nepenthe Sea replied to ms brown's topic in General Students

    I took A&P I and Microbiology last semester, along with two other classes. It wasn't too bad but I didn't work. I am a single parent, but I studied while they were in daycare and after they went...

  5. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea posted a topic in General Students

    I was just wanting to hear from you guys about the coolest things that you have seen or done since starting clinicals. I am almost finished with my first semester of nursing school, but we don't do...

  6. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I saw your post last week about the tissue donation. I can see how that might be disturbing. Your story about the old lady is the kind of stuff I love to read about! Thank

  7. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    These are really interesting (and SO sad, in the case of the mom and baby)!

  8. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I more or less witnessed those two on myself (same birth, even!), but would really like to witness somebody elses' delivery

  9. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's an interesting condition you got to see! But yes, unfortunate. Was there a particular diagnosis the baby was given? Thanks for

  10. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    One time I was talking about necrotizing fasciitis, and my boyfriend says "You know, sometimes I think that you WANT to see that". I told him it's not that I would wish anything horrible on a person,...

  11. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I would LOVE to watch stuff like that. I hope a doc bets ME I won't, because I'll be there in a heartbeat! Love your name, too,

  12. why do you care if a student misses class?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    At my school, we get concerned if someone doesn't show up because we can only miss two classes a semester (or so they told us, anyway). Especially if it's someone who is an otherwise serious and...

  13. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    Nepenthe Sea replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    I am NOT a math person and I made A's in all of my college math classes just by PRACTICING math problems, over and over again. I did it until I "got" it. From what I have seen, with the HESI,...

  14. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    Nepenthe Sea replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    Test success for Beginning Nursing Students is a good one to have, I think. It is required for the Introductory courses at my school. They use questions from it on our tests. It's good because it...

  15. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    Nepenthe Sea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anyone here takining A&P II this spring besides me? I was wondering, what have you all heard about the difficulty of this class? Do you hear that it is harder than I, easier, or about the...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to sjc77's topic in General Students

    I am in my first semester of NS and the single mom of three-year-old-twins. I was a SAHM until my ex and I split up. I live with my mom, so I don't have to work during the semester - I live on...

  20. What type of student were you before nursing school?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    My premature twins are EXACTLY the reason I became interested in nursing, too! I have been facsinated by preemies ever

  21. What type of student were you before nursing school?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    Let's see..in high school, I never studied, and didn't really care about my grades. I was going to be an artist, so who cares? Still made National Honor Society, Gifted and Talented, yada yada....

  22. Non-religious nurses/students

    Nepenthe Sea replied to greenfaery's topic in General Students

    I'm really glad that the OP posted this because I live in a VERY religous area, where even the nursing faculty talk about praying with their patients and discussing religion with them. I have been...

  23. Any student nurses find biology hard?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to _Angel_'s topic in General Students

    I can tell you personally that I was afraid of my science prereqs. Last semester was my first full-time semester in 13 years, and I was taking A&P I and Microbiology together, which most people...

  24. Any single parents going thru nursing school?

    Nepenthe Sea replied to osc9904's topic in General Students

    I left my husband 18 months ago. He was cheating on me with a family friend, AND allegedly got another woman pregnant about the same time I got pregnant (good times!). I have three-year old twin...

    Nepenthe Sea replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    We were cracking up the other day because some of us were practicing our NG tube insertion, and somebody mentioned that they were waking up at night with "Verify Dr.'s orders" running through their...
