  1. Online A &P I, II at University of Phoenix

    I loved UOP Online! I got my BS in Healthcare Administration there years ago before I went into nursing. I've taken 25 online classes in total. All of the classes are a lot of work, but it was...
  2. Just want to Vent

    Oh yes, I hear you. Especially the last sentence: As a student I may have a question and we're here to learn. 90% of my instructors throughout are so impatient and expect you to know everything upon...
  3. New Teacher Wants to Become a Nurse: Advice Please!!

    I say go for it! I admire you for your thorough thinking. There's only one thing that stuck out: Your current work hours from 0645-1500 - nurses commonly work 12-hr+ shifts so if you don't like your...
  4. Hello everyone :) I am a little concerned about the pace of class for my NS. We are working a bit slow it seems (for NS, lol, at least I think!) We have 1 month left for this quarter and we are only...
  5. Ever since I began nursing school 6 weeks ago, it has thrown me into a nervous/anxious wreck full of acne, diarrhea, heart palpitations, frequent urination (I get that when I am...
  6. Hi everyone I have been in an LPN program for about a month so far (yep, 14 more to go! lol) So far, it's been going pretty well with A LOT of hard work and dedication to my studies (except for one...
  7. Hello :) Is it the NET you are talking about? If so, do not worry! It isn't too hard, just brush up on basic math skills (fractions, dec, ratios, percents) and reading comp. skills. Here are 2 links...
  8. HELP! FailingRNschool-B/C I took care of myself

  10. Big problem in my class. I've heard it was common in nursing school: Nursing students hating their classmates. Why? I don't get it. We just started 6 weeks ago and already there are cliques, name...
  11. Preemie Mom turned NICU Nurse?

    I have twin preemies born at 28 weeks and I am in nursing school because of them. They are my inspiration! I would love to work in the NICU and to ultimately become a Neonatal NP. Good luck to you!
  12. What did your first nurs. test look like?

    Nursing fund. tests are very.....different from tests you're probably used to. Be ready to really rack your brain during it with major critical thinking. My fund. tests are exactly like the NCLEX...

  17. OMG I may have a nervous breakdown...

    It is the same in my school as well - to the T! From the 10 point deductions if absent to the "being locked out if late". My school is VERY strict. And we were told the "most will fail" line too. And...
  18. Does anyone else Hate Physiology??

    Is it an A&P course or just physiology alone?? Is it I or II? My A&P class is difficult as well with many failures (I hate that word!!) So far, I am somehow getting an A but it takes a lot out...

  22. Did you have a math competency test? (rant)
