I have both the 2009 Mosby's Drug Cards and the reference handbook.... neither of which seem to be as helpful as I thought they'd be! I know there are new drugs all the time, but I can only find about 1/3 of what I need in either of these. The comp...

Alright, thank you so much for your replies. Maybe I was misinformed that there was some shortcut for this busy clinical paperwork, but I could have swornnnnnnn they said something about it! Hence my frustration! :)

I haven't had nightmares about nursing school yet, but I do dream vividly and remember my dreams probably 5 nights of the week on average. But since I started nursing school, that's ALL I dream about! It's like I cannot escape, and I wake up exhaus...

Hi, can we please discuss something BESIDES NURSING SCHOOL before/between/after classes? (Hahaha, I write this as I'm on a freaking nursing forum... :chuckle)

If I go to the gym at least 3 times a week during school, I feel good about myself. That was my motto during prereqs, and it's my motto in nursing school too! It really does make a difference. Some of my classmates are like, "WHERE do you find the...

At our orientation, they were telling us how much weight nursing students gain because of the same reasons you just gave. So you are not alone. I will however say, the heavy students are the ones coming back to class from lunch with drinks from fas...

Also - I love the Prayer for the Nursing Student! :chuckle

I am laughing here reading about all the crying... I will be starting my third week in first semester on Monday, and have been doing really well in lecture and lab, but everytime I get to clinical or simulation lab, I am fighting the tears. Finally, ...

We had a BP lab today, and I was flying through it with no trouble, heard everything perfectly on the manikin, but then I couldn't hear ANYTHING on any of my classmates! NOTHING! It was like my stethoscope was off or something, but it was on! I tr...

We have 2 chances to get a 90%. I am better at math than I think I am, but it still makes me nervous, and I'm afraid I'm going to freeze up and do something silly and fail.

Hey! I start my RN program in January and want to try and get a bit of a head start on my math calculations for those infamous tests! Math is not my strong suit (though I've surprised myself a few times... I'm better at it than I think I am!) so I ...

I was alternate.... but I got my letter on Friday.... I'M IN!!!!

What a bummer!! I encountered this VERY SAME THING last week. It really, really ruined a few days for me, because I have no drama in my life and I like it that way. So when something sneaks in, I want it gone and try to squash it right away. Well, wh...

Wow... that's crazy! Isn't there a limit on how many times you can take that stupid test? At my school, we get 2 chances only.

I have to reply to this.... I took my Bio189 at CSN and it was THE HARDEST CLASS I have EVER taken. There were 45 people on the first day of class, not even enough desks for everybody, and on the day of the final... I was 1 OF 8 students remaining! ...

When I was at the community college, they told us that in classes like biology (where you get 2 or 3 chances to take and re-take it, depending), that a W COUNTED as one of those chances to take the class. I am not a quitter, and my anatomy prereq wa...

My biggest issue with chemistry is that I just don't care about it... :chuckle The work itself isn't actually that difficult, it just doesn't intrigue me, I don't see the point, I don't care about valence electrons, I don't care how the pH has chang...

Great thread! I am an alternate for Spring, but I'm trying to think like I'm already accepted.... just in case.. Once this Fall semester is over, during Winter break I'm planning on brushing up on my dimensional analysis. One of my friends in the pr...

Ugh! That's what everyone is telling me... but thanks for the support! What sucks is, if the deadline had been 2 weeks later, I would have had my second session summer school grades in (3 classes!) and my GPA would have been a whole point higher... 3...

Also, I heard that NSC's NCLEX pass rates are up in the 80's for regular track now, and that they need something like 3 consecutive graduating classes to pass with 80% or higher to get their full accredidation. Something like that. I really don't se...

yeah, i got my letter today, and i applied with a 3.21 (if the deadline had been a few weeks later, i would have gotten my second summer school grades in, and applied with a 3.31... dang!) but anyway, i didn't make it in, but i am ranked #3 on the al...

I applied for Spring 09 and got my letter today. I didn't get in, but I am ranked third on the alternate list. On one hand, third sounds great because it's only two spots away from 1! But on the other hand, that means THREE PEOPLE have to deny acc...

Thanks for the encouragement! Our program is nowhere near to accepting over 100 people... there are 40 spots but the last few semesters they've only been taking about 30ish people. One of my friends told me today though, that last semester 2 people...

Hi everybody... I got my letter today and I wasn't accepted but I am ranked third on the alternate list. I didn't post this in the Pre-Nursing forum because, well... I figured people actually in the programs would be a bigger help. :) I was just won...

There are so many different things floating around about this! I keep hearing that the last semester, they accepted about 20 people, and the lowest GPA was a 3.2. The advisor said they chose not to accept 40 students because a few semesters back...
