  3. Question about prereq grades

    stressgal replied to wink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Care Plans Help Please! (with the R\T and AEB)

    stressgal replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

    AEB is short for "as evidenced by" (or "as exhibited by") and RT is short for "related to". Then to give you some insight into nursing diagnosis/care plans, here is an example: Knowledge,...

  7. do you read everything?

    stressgal replied to guest64485's topic in General Students

    Depends on the concepts and material. I always skim the chapter, paying close attention to the boxes prior to class. Sometimes a group of us will divy up the readings and make notes to share or teach...

  8. Returning student needs advice regarding NS program differences...

    stressgal replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As an "older" student I chose to go the ADN route. That way I can get back to work sooner. ADN's and BSN's, in my area, make the same amount of money to start. I have found a school locally that...

  9. Is my schedule doable?

    stressgal replied to cjog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do anything you set your mnd to. You will find the Nutrition and A&P easier to understand due to the chemistry. Good luck and happy

  10. Preparing

    stressgal replied to lawc2315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best advice I can give you is to contact the advisors at the schools you're intrested in attending and receive all of the information from them. Ask them how students are selected into the...

  14. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    stressgal replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I'm a senior nursing student and let me tell you it's not that bad. You will see nurses who you do not wish to emulate. Take this into consideration and do not become like them. This is a learning...

  15. Anyone here a tutor?

    stressgal replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too was asked to tutor this past quarter. What a great experience it was! The first thing we are told is that we are not to teach students "new" material, but rather enhance what they are currently...

  16. Studying tips??

    stressgal replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone learns differently. What works for me is a combination of tactics. I do record lectures (when permitted by the instructor) but this is only for my own comfort. I only listen to them if I feel...

  17. Planning ahead and thinking outloud for a minute

    stressgal replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in Nursing School and the advice I give is take all the classes you can prior to entering the program. You will thank yourself. How does your school admit to the program? Is there a waiting list...

  18. Do you cover your books?

    stressgal replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No I don't, but then again I seldom carry the books to class. Most instructors lecture from notes and I read my books at home. But if I were to carry them, then I would. Be comfortable with whatever...

  19. Chemistry.... I have no clue

    stressgal replied to mdbarker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Basic algebra is an asset with chemistry. Check into your school's math lab and/or learning center. My school offers tutors free of charge, but you must request the tutor. There is no shame in asking...

    stressgal replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bet you will find it easier and more fun then it was back in high school. Life is so much more intresting when you get a few years behind you. Take advantage of any tutoring available if things are...

  22. New to Nursing School - Seeking Advice, Ideas, encouragement, etc.

    stressgal replied to marstan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing you may want to look into is a scholarship program at a local hospital. Around my area there are hospitals that will provide tuition assistance to employees, PCA's and PCT's. Many offer this...

  24. What are your favorite "school supplies"

    stressgal replied to SDNurseWannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Retractable sharpies. Mead's "bungee" folder, they cost a bit more but will last forever. Mine are 2+ years old. My favorite is a four color pen. I find it easier to take notes when I can change color...

    stressgal replied to JGLPN2BE's topic in General Students
