When visulizing a care plan/map, this is the defining moment when black and white nursing ends, and the real nursing world rears it's ugly head. The point of the matter is your pocket Nurse's Pocket Guide is just that.. a GUIDE. Nursing Diagnosis in ...

That's funny. In my program, Advanced Med- Surg concepts is Critical Care, and we have our rotation in ICU and ER. Considering the fact that Critical Care concepts is tested on the NCLEX, I hope they will give some experience!

What do I want to say to those crazy, self-absorbed, two-faced,annoying know-it-all wannabes... SHUT UP!!!!!

I can't speak for you, but my first semester, I took Health Assessment, Intro to Nursing, Nursing Skills, Clinical I, and Medical Terminology, and I barely had anytime for myself, I was constantly studying. And I have taken 19 hours before in one sem...

My clinical day is a 12 hour shift. Its hard to be on your feet for that long, but at least I only go once a week.

I've actually lost a friend because I was accepted in a nursing program and he wasn't. It hurt me at first but then I thought about, no matter how good of a friend i am to him, he can never pay 50,000 a year just to be his friend but nursing does! So...

This is going to sound really weird to you right now, but by the end of the semester you will be begging for dosage calculations to be on the test, because they will be the easiest ones!

I didnt take A&P II online but I did take it at HCC. A&p II will start where I left off. So, look over the body systems, muscles, amd major ateries and veins in the body. or you could enjoy the rest of your break.lol. Whatever you decide I wi...

Wow.. I have just read all 16 pages of this discussion, and yet only 5 people have actually answered his/her question. Im going to be real honest with you. If this person was not in a clinical setting where they would be endangering yours or another ...

I dont know if i would use the word "hard". Although it seems that two years is enough to learn all the information that you need to know, it really isnt. So they give you SOOO much information, and although its interesting, you're brain is on "overl...

yeah.. you might think that. Just wait until you take Health Assessment.. or any class in nursing school. You will see things differently. Trust me.

Before you read this, just know, that I love all the CNA and MA on there. But this is the real world. And I have to be honest. Ok, You CANNOT do all the things that a LVN can do. She is a licensed nurse, and you are a unlicensed personnel. Yes, there...

Well, this is what i would do in your situation. Talk to the nursing school and see if they need you to retake it. They are the only ones that can tell you. No one on here can really tell you that. Go on the website for the nursing school that you ar...

how long ago did you take this course? If you didnt take it that long ago then you can go the college's website where you took the class at, look at their online catalog, and show the description to your nursing school. they can then determine if the...

I understand what youre saying. I would hate for you to get accepted in a nursing school, and be subject the "weed-out" epidemic that goes on in Texas nursing schools. I work for a college so its easier for me to get the "down-low", sort of speak, on...

when i was done writing my reply to this thread, i read the first message to see i f i answered your message, after reading what you were saying i tried to edit it but then it said that i took too long to do it so...i couldnt edit it anymore. Sorry a...

The school that i'm currently enrolled in is College of the Mainland. I made a C in APII and i made an A and they accepted my A instead of the C. My GPA was a 3.9 since they didnt count that grade.

Good to know but i'm a nursing student in texas and the school that i got was acccepted was 100% for 7 consectitive years. the BON set really HIGH standards if a school wants to keep accredidation from them. So 25% is a little hard to believe. If you...

Ok.. a C in social science is nothing..if you mostly A's and a couple of B's in all your natural science classes, you could be an optimal nursing school candidate. As far as, retaking the class doesnt matter, thats not the case in the nursing schools...

No-- both classes are vital to your nursing education and BOTH are important to nursing schools.My suggestion? A&P II is already hard and taking it over the summer may incline you to pull out your hair..lol! Take your time and use it wisely. I un...

definitely, you need to repeat those classes that you made C's in. I dont know how hard nursing school is to get into but in Texas you have to have at least a 3.0 in you nursing pre-req ( which are all natural science courses.) Try and repeat those c...

hello! Im starting nursing school Aug. 25, so im officially apart of the class of 2010..LOL...grats to us!:bow::yeah::yeah::yeah:

im with you... i applied to associate degree program because i missed the deadline for the bachelors degree for the fall, but mostly because i dont want to be in debt when i graduate college. Yeah financial aid helps but but most of the money that yo...
