  1. Suggested Nursing exam help Books

    lilag02 replied to dgolden's topic in General Students

    I second the Success series. I've got Fundamentals and Med-Surg Success and love both. What I like most is that they have rationales listed for the right and wrong answers, and I highly recommend...

  2. Dosage Calculation Policies

    lilag02 replied to nursingtodo11's topic in General Students

    We have 3 tries to pass with a 90% (used to be 95%) or better each semester. First semester we're given the chapters to study throughout the semester on our own, and we take the test right before...

  3. Darn you, allnurses...Darn you all to heck!

    lilag02 replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    My first M/S exam is tomorrow, and I should be studying that right now. But hey, I have to take a break,

  4. Whoa, go me

    lilag02 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    Wow. Since when is doing well irritating? It drives me nuts that when everyone is asking how others did the students who did well are said to be boasting, but the ones who made B's or C's are simply...

  5. Lone star nursing program length

    lilag02 replied to sillybilly's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's five semesters total. While it's definitely a full-time work load, you are not technically a full-time student. I'm in second semester right now and we're only taking five hours. Last semester...

  6. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    lilag02 replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    I've never liked studying in a group, until now. I'm lucky to have found several other students in my class that have the same mentality towards school that I do. We all read and prepare on our own...

  7. Fundamental's Success Book Question

    lilag02 replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    I highly recommend that book! I credit that book with much of my success in my first semester, and I know that many of my classmates also really liked it. I read some of the test taking tips, but...

  8. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the info! With practicums and the lab not being open much, I completely forgot that I had posted again, so I'm glad I checked back. I was kind of thinking it would be along those lines,...

  9. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Apparently they heard enough from your class that they decided to give us the assignments at orientation. So we owe you guys a HUGE thank you for speaking up! As far as the tests go, they're NCLEX...

  10. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    lilag02 replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    Precisely why I hated the one online class I've taken so far. I have a need to fully understand things, a natural curiosity, I suppose. My micro instructor went so far as to say that I'm too hard on...

  11. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    lilag02 replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    Yes, we are in agreement. I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought that you were saying that we would never be given unsafe orders by doctors. Please forgive my confusion. As far...

  12. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    lilag02 replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    My pharmacology instructor specifically told us that we are the last check before the med is given to the patient, and doctors do, in fact, occasionally make mistakes when writing prescriptions, and...

  13. Sharing your survival tips--How do you prepare each semester?

    lilag02 replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I second allrecipes & recipezaar. I also really like kraftfoods.com, too...lots of very easy one pot/pan

  14. Sharing your survival tips--How do you prepare each semester?

    lilag02 replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I'm starting in the fall, too, and I'm doing the same thing. Anything to make my life easier when it gets crazy! A few of the things that I'm doing-- -Rearrange our guest room into a study room for...

  15. Student Loan Confusion... Help?

    lilag02 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, that's how mine does it too. I understand your frustration, and have asked the FA people at my CC that very same question numerous times. I've always had to use funds better left untouched...

  16. Do you donate blood?

    lilag02 replied to pna2388's topic in General Students

    I've only actually donated once. I usually either miss the donor wagon or my iron is too low. Like others, I'm O+, so I wish I could more often. ETA- Forgot to add, choosing nursing as my career had...

  17. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    You've been confirmed. I did it right after I saw your post, but apparently FB doesn't send you a notification that you have. As a matter of fact, aside from getting requests to join, I haven't...

  18. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    pcrn- That's great news! And I'm sure a relief for you. When I was a Realtor, TREC (the BON's equivalent in real estate) was the same way. Only one person to process license applications and...

  19. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Escochea! I think as long as you got all of your paperwork in that was listed on the acceptance letter, there's nothing else to do before orientation. It sounds like most of us will have the blue...

  20. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, all of the early pp's were based on the old book, which is why I used it for the test instead of the new one. I figured that out real quick when I was trying to study from the new one and had a...

  21. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    pcrn- I don't blame you for dropping. Now that I see such a disparity in how the course is set up at each school, I can understand why Cyfair wasn't accepting pharm from other schools. If I didn't...

  22. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's about the same amount of material that we're covering, too. The required book is the same as well, however she's in the middle of switching books, so I've been using the old one (borrowed from...

  23. Lonestar College Cyfair ADN Fall 2010

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Definitely sounds like our classes are different...so odd. Aside from the actual quizzes, all of our dosage calc stuff is done on our own outside of class. Do you guys have the Dosage Calculations...

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Candy! I was wondering if you were still around. The FB group is the one that I posted a link for on the first page. The link still works, but you have to be logged in for it to go to the group,...

    lilag02 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    So you're the joker? Thank goodness for you! That class is so quiet and needs the lightening up! I'm sitting right across from you...dark brown ponytail and black glasses. Are you feeling like...
