    Hello all! I am a BSN student at National University, and I wanted to start a thread for current National University students, specifically for San Diego NU students. There are quite a few threads...

  2. French nurse student look for "penfriend"

    misslolalady replied to Judith1981's topic in General Students

    Judith- Your English is great! Believe me, I would never be able to figure out how to say any medical terms in French! Yes, "area of nursing" is the specialty you choose. Cardiology would be a great...

    misslolalady replied to Judith1981's topic in General Students

    Hi Judith! Nice to meet you! Before nursing, I used to have time to practice French, not anymore! I am in my first year of my nursing studies. I really like it, and I am amazed by how much I have...

    Well, I had 2 jobs, I lost my full time job right before I started the program. I have another job, a freelancer for MAC cosmetics, but I have not worked since I started the program. It's hard,...

    Yes, definitely learn Piaget's and Erikson's stages. They'll come up time and time again anyhow. And, I know it seems hard, but don't stress about the reading. The tests for that class are not going...

    Yes, I did start in January. I start my first round of clinicals pretty soon. They are 12 hour shifts. (But so know that if you get 12 hour shifts, you will work less days than the people who do 8...

    misslolalady replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Online classes are the last 6 months or so. You won't get rusty with the other nursing skills you learned, because I believe at least 1 of them does have a clinical component. Plus, toward the end...

    You can find the Littmann Classic II SE on eBay, new for a bit less. I just got one, you may want to look into it! I probably wouldn't get the Littmann Cardiology III because it's pretty pricey. The...

    misslolalady replied to misslolalady's topic in General Students

    I understand where all of you are coming from. It's just hard sometimes, to know that you want something so badly... and to try to have a level head about it. School is going great, although I'm only...

    Well, its only been a week, but it is intense. It's not so much that the information taught is difficult, but the amount of information is unlike anything I've ever encountered. I study anywhere from...

    misslolalady replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Are these jobs easy to come by? I, unfortunately don't have any certifications to allow me to work in the hospital. I am currently working full time in retail, but will be out of a job soon, as they...

    Also- Does anyone know if its possible to get paid work in the hospital while attending nursing school? I have heard that its possible after med/surg. Is that true?

    misslolalady replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't believe National is trying to make the process to enroll more difficult to make more money. The process isn't anymore difficult than before, if anything, it's begining to be more structured....
