  1. Pointers on How to Pass the Fundamentals of Nursing

    rnjls replied to maija's topic in General Students

    Time management for keeping up with classes. Figure out how you learn best and devise a plan around that. For example, I learn best if I write things out as I'm learning them, so I write out answers...

    rnjls replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    rnjls replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

  5. Books/lab kit costs 2x what class cost? Is that right?

    rnjls replied to aksteele13's topic in Indiana Nursing

    As a consolation, you will use the textbook for 102, and if you take Advanced Physio, you will use it then, as well. I also used it for reference when I was taking Micro and I've used it since I was...

    rnjls replied to denise0815's topic in General Students

  7. Teas Testing

    rnjls replied to fefe03's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the on-line practice test was harder than the actual test, so if you do well on that, you should be good. Also, very important, when you are practicing math, do not use a calculator because...

  12. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    rnjls replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    The original poster stated that she gets less motivated the older she gets. The opposite is true for me. I am 55 and starting my nursing classes next week. I have always wanted to be a nurse, but...

    rnjls replied to FireHorseNinja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. APA Manual

    rnjls replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in General Students

    Does your school libarary have a subscription to Noodletools? It doesn't replace the APA manual, but I find that it helps me when I'm confused about what to do. The Purdue Owl website is good as...

    rnjls replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

  24. To Flu Shot or Not??

    rnjls replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    If someone gets sick, it's more than likely they were exposed to the flu before they got the shot. As other people have said, the flu shot contains a "dead" virus, so it can't cause disease. I...
