There is positive stuff. Its an amazing program if not the best in the city. You just have to bust your butt and study hard. The problem is a lot of people just plain don't study enough. And they have kids, and work full-time or at night. Its a great...

Ha, yeah. Alot of people dropped foundations after seeing how hard the days in the hospital were going to be. then a lot failed foundations. Then Adult health was like the reaper. We lost the majority of our people in adh1 so far. out of 25 people wh...

You use med- surg for ADH1 and I dunno about the OB book she was talking about getting a different one so I cant say. I dont think it will be the same as ours.

You do not get to choose your teachers. There really isn't a choice. The classes are so small everyone has the same teachers basically. They usually dont even list the nursing teachers names with the clasess. Just the times, days, etc. You dont get t...

I am in OB right now, took foundations last semester and the only way I made the grade I did was by recording class and taking the notes I could during class. Then after class,I would go home and listen to my recording and type up notes. It worked su...

thanks so much!

I just finished my first semester at southwest and was wondering if any students already in the program have any tips to passing Adult health I. I am really nervous about Adult health I. What does adult health go over? is it ICU stuff, ER stuff? they...

I just finished my first semester at southwest and everything that we needed was included in the nursing kit we ordered at orientation. They are called our "blue bags." They have our stethoscopes, bp cuffs, and lots of other stuff. I didn't have to b...

Good luck guys! I am just finishing my first semester at southwest. Remember this feeling and how hard you worked to get to this point cause when you are in the program tons of people get burned out and drop out ( we started with 60 and this week we ...

I made only a 115 and had about the same grades as you if not a little lower and will start on Monday! You should be good to go!! Don't let it totally overwhelm you. Save that for when you get in!! It all really depends on who applies with you. If yo...

Which hospital were your clinicals at?! I am so excited to start! ALSO! I know that we go to the simulation labs for the first few weeks, well during those weeks do we have to be there at like 6:30? Cause I know clinicals are scheduled to start at l...

Oh so you passed without trouble.. I think they just really scared the crap out of us acting like no one makes higher than a C and that you can just expect to make barely passing on every exam. If you don't mind me asking, What was your final grade i...

Whats the hardest part of Foundations?

So some people actually get As in foundations, well that makes me feel alot better. so for the first 6 weeks, what do you do on your clinical day? do you go to the labs and practice there?

It was intimidating, but kinda exciting. I am totally ready to start clinical. I am super super nervous about foundations. Does ANYONE get As in foundations? is that even possible? Some of the teachers seemed like super hard, but then the Childbearin...

3.5 gpa 120 on NLN

which hospital are the clinicals held at?

Do we get to choose our Foundations teacher? Is so, who should we get and who should we avoid?

No, I didnt have an interview. I dont think I have ever heard of them interviewing people for Southwest. But you do have to write an essay.

Are we allowed to use Calculators during clinical to help with dosage conversions? What color are the Uniforms? What is the hardest class? Is there anyone else staring Fall '09 at Southwest??? I cant figure out how to PM someone back!! How can we t...

Thank you so so much! Isprrnbr! I am going to study up this summer before my Foundations class starts so I wont be too overwhlemed!

If you could send me a copy of your syllabus that would help me out SO much! I also start in the Fall '09 and am completely overwhelmed. I dont really know how to message on this thing. What color are the scrubs? How often do you have tests? and what...

I took my pre-reqs at at Southwest. I know there are some teachers I have heard about to avoid. But we can check them out at ratemyprofessor.com. But all my classes were at macon so I didnt see any of the current Nursing students cause all their clas...

I got accepted to Southwest for Fall 2009 TOO!! I am so excited!!!! Which teachers should we take and what teachers should we avoid!!!??

Wow!! fall 2010!~! thats a long time to wait! do you have to take classes the whole time? like if you don't have anything to take do you have to take BS classes or can you work till your clinicals come up. How long are clinicals? like two years?
