hello all~ so i'm officially terrified! i applied @ monroe college, here in nyc, & i passed my entrance exams! i scored 138 on the pn nln, and 88.2% on the teas. i came in 96th/99th percentile, for this program, respectively. so when retrieving m...

how many of you use your laptop, in nursing school, like it's goin' out of style ? :monkeydance: i should start a nursing program in the next 3-6 months, and i'm debating over whether i should use my laptop or not. i will obviously bring a binder and...

(update added below) original post: for those of you who have taken the teas & the nln for entrance..which do you feel was harder? what were your hardest subjects for each one? what were your scores for the nln and the teas? were they what you th...

I have seen many people on here who have gone from ADN to BSN via online route. Do employers question this during your interviewing process? Do you feel they prefer those who actually completed their BSN on-campus vs. online? I'm concerned that ...

Hmmm...this is a little confusing.

What area do you live? I suggest you move into a room instead of renting your own place. In fact, to keep costs as low as possible, get a roomie. You are only going to be there to sleep . Also, if you have ANY public transportation system at all.....

hello, i just went to general science quiz websites that focused on the way the cell functions, basic chemistry, biology...you know..the likes--stuff to refresh me. i would say to study in 30 minute intervals and take breaks. i didn't even study ...

...or did you stay the same? Please add more if you like . I have a feeling I am going to gain, unless I plan my meals. I'm hoping that I am too busy to eat. LOL. That might help.

lol yes, i realized this after i replied oops...oh well

the trial thing never occurred to me. i shall go with that and try the pen out for the 90 days. if it's not worth it, i'll get my $250 back and stick with good old-fashioned pen & paper .

you can go both ways. :)

I know that there is trouble with BOTH sides.....but generally...which "group" makes your job more stressful? The patients, or the other employees themselves? How so? Patients= family, visitors, etc. Employees= ANY of the staff

Oh I wasn't planning on bringing a laptop to clinical...and perhaps not even to class @ all...but definitely not clinicals. I'm wondering if I cannot get just as much use from a cheap digital recorder, pen, and spiral notebook, as I can with the pe...

hello all! :nurse:i'm an aspiring nurse aka pre-nursing student. i just finished taking the nln/teas scoring 96th/99th percentile respectively, for the program of interest. i'm unsure if i am accepted or not...but in the meantime..i wanted to r...

Yes, I am trying to avoid "some" stress if possible....or at least make it a *pinch* less stressful, by trying to get familiar with some things beforehand :) Thank You so much for the links. Off to Amazon.com right now! :flwrhrts:

This is something that I am considering. However, I am not sure the format in which clinicals are taught. Do you, or anyone else, feel that I might be able to take notes just as well a digital recorder, laptop and/or notebook? I'm just weighing out t...

i applaud you for your humbleness. . it shows a noble part of your character :).

i just want to say....this book is awesome so far. it is so completely visual, imo. i :redpinkhe it! thank you so much for suggesting this material.

hi again edge! i think that many of the members on here have given you awesome answers. yes, it seems as though some added a little sprinkle of "mean" to theirs :lol:, but all in all, most of them are right. it sucks when people aren't all nice and...

Interesting...although I am in Augusta, Maine at the moment.

i am the same way. i'm almost always the first person to finish up as well. like someone else stated, i either know it or i don't. good for you on passing! :ancong!:

:lghmky:LOL! I suppose not!..... :idntdt:.....hmmmmmmmmm? :innerconf

agreed.

i would go for it.
