I agree with the first poster. It was gotten easier in that you should be in the groove of clinicals and classes but it def. got alot harder content wise. They expect you to build on what you have learned and use info from previous classes to answer ...

Questions like this come up all the time. The point of them is to get you to think about the fact that not everyone believes the same way you do about things. We took a whole class that was only about these kinds of topics.

OK, long story short. I had to get a PPD for nursing school and it was positive. My chest xray was negative and my Dr advised me to take INH for 9 months. I am little hesitant about taking it and read up on it in my Pharm book and looked at the CDC w...

I posted this on the community health nursing board but have not received any respond so I thought that I would ask you guys over here also. I am currently taking a Community health class in NS and was given the assignment of interviewing a Communit...

Thanks for the ideas!

Oh my gosh we do this exact thing every time we have a test :)

For me it is like comparing kindergarten to high school. I would love for nursing school to be as easy as prereqs were.

You mad that your teacher did not give you anything to do over Spring Break b/c you feel like you are wasting your time.

For my program you had to receive a B in both A&P I and II. They wouldn't even consider you if you had not receive the proper grade.

About 4 or 5. As far as prioritizing it goes NS first then everything else.

Put your big girl panties on and deal with it, you signed up for this!

First take a deep breath....ok now. I just had my first clinical this past weekend and only had one patient. We were there from 8-3 and i actually ran out of time. You will be doing assessments and such and in between while your patient is resting ec...

When I started I was told that about 200 apply and 75 get in. Once you get in they start weeding out the people that truly are going to cut it very quickly. They kept telling us that only 50% of the people we started with will continue, but I think t...

Good luck telling your professor you want to op out. If I said that they would most likely tell me that I need to reconsider my career choice. Part of nursing is being uncomfortable, it isn't easy!

You are just lucky that you get the option to chose a professor in the first place. We are stuck with whoever they give us and there is not another class to switch to.

I think that the reasoning behind doing it is to get practice and like it was said before it lets you feel how it feels to be on the other end of the treatments. How would you feel if a nursing student came in to do some procedure on you are it was c...

I thought the same thing as previous posters WELCOME TO NURSING SCHOOL!

You can have more than one diagnosis. If it does not say any different you can just start listing. If it asks for them to be in order of importance start with the dehydration.

It is fairly pricey Depending on the semester we pay between 2500 and 3000.

We do alot of complaining in my program about the fact that they throw a lot of stuff on us at the last minute. Example: we start school tomorrow and they just told us recently that we now have to get a varicella titer to be able to move through clin...

I am currently in the part time program and LOVE it! Yes it does take a longer time than the traditional program but if you are working or have a family it is perfect. Most semesters we take 2-3 classes at a time that are on Tues or Thurs nights plus...

I think that it depends on you and your school. In my program there is no way that that would work. You have to know the information behind the questions not just the answer to that question. What works for me personally is to study class notes as we...

We just signed off on vitals today. My instructor said that on alot of people you cannot palpate the brachial. It helps me to put the stethoscope on the side closest to the person. That is where the artery is most often located. When counting pulse ...

You dont have to wait a month. I just got 2 tests done back to back and all they said was to wait two weeks in between they never said anything about it being dangerous. I just provided my school with proof that I got the first test and was getting a...
