  1. Is anyone starting NS at LMU in Knoxville??

    180Chick replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    There are a few people in my class that have CNA experience, but most people don't. I have EMS experience, and that has helped me GREATLY. Maybe you will be more comfortable working around people...

  3. do you type or write your notes?

    180Chick replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    I like to write my notes in the margins of my books, lol. I get one of the little Sharpie pens with fine points and go to town! That way, when I'm reading the material, I already have all of my notes...

  4. I got accepted into LMU's nursing program!

    180Chick replied to country_boy's topic in General Students

    The main campus in Harrogate, in my opinion, is not disorganized at all. You start out with about 40 students in your class, maybe a little more. It is difficult to keep an 80, and they WILL kick you...

  5. Is anyone starting NS at LMU in Knoxville??

    180Chick replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I go to the main campus of LMU (the Harrogate site), and I'm starting my second year. Last year, the book they told us to get was Henke's Med Math. Make sure you get the newest version. I found mine...

    Hello! I attend the Harrogate campus and am past the first year. I am starting my third semester in the program, and I will be a tutor for the nursing program. You will be encouraged by your...

  7. 6 Rights or 5 Rights?

    180Chick replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    At my university, we learned 7: 1. Right patient 2. Right drug 3. Right dose 4. Right time 5. Right route 6. Right reason (You, as a nurse, need to know WHY your pt. is receiving this and if there are...

  8. I flunked and Got back in, now what?

    180Chick replied to 12breakfree's topic in General Students

    Wow! Oh my goodness. I have never heard of only one chance to pass the math. Our program sent us a letter in the mail over the summer saying we had to get a certain med-math book and study 10 chapters...

  9. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    I didn't see this part of the post, sorry to make so many lol. Trust me, it has gotten so bad that I TRY so hard to keep my grades to myself. When she hands the tests back, my friends lean way over...

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Thank you, amj! :) I am very happy about my grades and gift, but it's hard for me to be happy when my friends are starting to hate me and get angry with me. Blah. I try to help them. I am like the...

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Thank you, James! :) Yes, I told her that as long as we continued to study and try to do our best she would make it, but I think she has her mind made up. It is pretty rough having to have an 80 and...

  12. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Well, that sounds really awesome. That's how it was at the cc here. You became an LPN year 1 and an RN year 2. My school just started a medical school, a nurse practitioner program, a nurse...

  13. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is rough. One of the girls that I studied with (the one that made a C) is actually trying to quit now. You have to have an 80 to pass. I had a friend last semester who failed with a 79.9,...

  14. I need to ven't about my job!

    180Chick replied to nursing_student84's topic in General Students

    Wow! This is some really helpful advice! I'm in my very first semester as a nursing student, so of course, I'm all doe-eyed and excited about this stuff, haha. My first week of clinicals comes this...

  15. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester as a nursing student. I have the pre-reqs out of the way, except for one more science.

  16. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Um, I'm not exactly sure where Galen is. Is that near Louisville? I am in a TINY town in southeast KY. Well, I was. I moved now to TN just right across the line. In Middlesboro, they had a small two...

  17. Help! Dig error, accused of lying?

    180Chick replied to queenjane's topic in General Students

    I am sorry to hear about this! It sounds horrifying. Here is something I came up with while reading this: When she kept badgering you asking if you were sure you wanted to do this, I would've just...

  18. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    gabriella, I see you are from KY. What nursing school will you be attending there or what part? I have a lot of family that lives there, and I am right on the TN/KY line myself. I just moved here from...

  19. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    We have this huge book that has the different procedures in it. For the first 7 weeks of this semester, they had us in a setting called "campus lab." It basically looks like a big hospital room, only...

  20. What kind of grading scale are you on??

    180Chick replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    Wow, I have no idea. All I know is that most [if not ALL] of my classes are set up on 10-points. 90-100 is an A, 80-90 is a B. It's like that for my nursing and non-nursing classes. In my nursing...

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    thanks, hanna. :) i hope she comes around and stops being angry with me. i don't know what she wants me to do. i can't just lower my grades and dumb myself down to make her happy. anyway, yes, i have...

    Thanks, lizmatt. :) I have heard that M/S II is extremely hard. . . and OB. Next semester, I will be taking Psych and Med/Surg I. I know I will have to study more for those classes than I do now. I...

  23. how often do you study?

    180Chick replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Guys, I am a bit worried here. I want to know if I'm normal or if something's wrong with me. Please don't get angry with me like the rest of my friends and fellow classmates have. I am HONESTLY going...

  24. who is tired?

    180Chick replied to shellpsychrn's topic in General Students

    Yes! My nursing exams are the same way. I think it is supposed to prepare us for the NCLEX. If I'm not mistaken, my instructor said the NCLEX questions would try to trick you like that. It's all about...

  25. I think I'm being treated unfairly...

    180Chick replied to mzattitude's topic in General Students

    MzAttitude, I read your post, and all I can say is, "Wow." This sounds terrible. My clinical instructors are similar. They call it "weeding out the weak." They said too many of us did too well on our...
