I am currently in the program. Work two twelves a week and have a family. The first semester was not a problem. Now that class is four days a week, I do find some stress in trying to get all of the assignments done. I am thinking of cutting back ...

Congrats! It is refreshing to hear about those who are doing well. I am holding my own in my first 7.5 week classes, also. The amount of reading took a minute to get used to, but totally doable. To all those stressing about hearing how impossible...

Personally I would take A&P in the winter. It is the most important prereq once you get into the program. You could prob do ok in the summer if that is your only obligation, but you might be cutting yourself short by cramming in the info so qui...

A&P is tough it requires a lot of rope memory. I found it best to read chapter all the way through, then make an outline of the important parts in the chapter before lecture. i also used a coloring book that had all of the body parts in extreme...

I have just started nursing school. In my prereq's I would pre read each chapter, go to lecture and take notes, get home and rewrite my notes, then do a final reading of the chapter. It was a great system. Pulled high A's the entire stretch. I ne...

Thanks for all the advice. I think I need to relax a little. I do the questions on the cd with the book. They only give like 10 per chapter so going through those twice and it is a done deal. I attend Macomb Comm. I think my biggest problem is g...

we have a group of older ladies that make little blankets for the babies that get hospitalized. They are fuzzy on one side and silky on the other. they do a simple in out stitch around the sides and call it a day. The kids really love them and i t...

total height 67 in shoulder to finger 27 in hip to floor 37 in good luck, I hope you get all twenty today!!

The first test is always the hardest. You just dont know what to expect so therefor are not sure what and how to study. Sometimes getting a bad grade on the first test gives you insight into getting great grades the rest of the term. Of coarse the...

That is prob true regarding the study guide for those who had high school not too long ago. i was returning after some 15 years. I had no idea how to divide fractions or disect a sentence into all its million parts. lol. If it has been a long time...

They will use your college gpa. Stress over the hesi that is worth 50%. I picked up work books used to study for the meap. I ended up with a great score. I found the study guide to be too vague. GL

I wanted to do my research on something that would pertain to my real life and be different from the rest so that it would hold the instructors attention and perhaps help in the grading. I did swimmers itch. It is more parasitic than bacteria but w...

Hi I am so excited to start the program. I have read so many things on how scary school will be, 50% make it, no time for anything but studying, a syllabus that is about a hundred pages, etc. Yet, I cannot wait to meet all of you and get started. S...

I am a student nurse working at Henry Ford. Tuition reimbursement is 1500 a semester if you get your classes preapproved and can produce reciepts and passing grades. Then, once you become an RN you get 3000 a year in tuition reimbursment. I am very...

You are going to surprise yourself. I too was not a good student in high school. I did what I had to do to graduate. Credit where credit was needed. Did not go to classes that I didnt feel I needed. Boy was that some stress at the end. Anyway, ...

Hello. I went and paid tuition today and asked if the syllabus was ready. Terri is still working on it and said that when it is ready she will mail us a letter that says to come and pick it up. I asked her if I could have a peak at it because I am...

For those of you who are scouring the site looking for somewhere to begin because you won't get your syllabus until class starts I wanted to clarify the above post. I know how you feel that was me yesterday. The topics that we are starting with are...

OMG I feel the exact same way. We are to study the same chapters. I am a notebook/flashcard girl myself!! What I am going to do until school starts is write the definitions out on flash cards, hang them on a little ring and carry them around with ...

I also work as a pca on a peds floor. I have been called off a few times and i only work 2 days a week so that was a problem. I called staffing and let them know that I would be interested in picking up some extra shifts and gave them my school sch...

Congrats!!! Yeah!!! What would you say to those of us that are about to start and want to pull off the same thing. I hear it is really tough to do. So again, YEAH YOU!!!!!!! I would love to hear more about how you did what you just did, because ...

The above posts seem right on, but a few more advantages to the cna gig are the willingness of your managers to work around your school schedule, the tuition reimbursement offered from almost all hospitals, and the ability to use the nurses knowledge...

congrats! There is a government program called work first that is designed for people just like you. They are willing to help with child care expenses and medical insurance for the child while you are bettering yourself so that you can become a con...

Good snack for on the run: half box of cheerios bag of dried pinapple bag of dried cherries, cranberries, or raisons small can of almonds small can of peanuts mix in large bowl fill sandwich baggies with mix carry around. The dried fruit gives you s...

Me too me too! Just cant wait to start. August 29 seems so far away. You know you got it bad when you open up one of your new books and exclaim, "I just love the way a new text smells!" Let's get this show on the road!!!!!!:clpty::clpty:

Studying at work is great because you have so many resources at your fingertips. Nurses, doctors, pts, scenarios. Its great, but it is a different kind of studying. You cannot bring out a book or a big notebook and be curled up in the corner doing...
