I'm a busy mom of 4. I also work part time when I'm in Nursing school. What works for me is the flash card and CD. I'm always on the go. I only read once and I record important topics as I'm reading. I use 2 colors of highlighter, 1 for the main topic, 1 for supporting details. If I have a question, I use a pencil & write on the side of the book. When I start my housechores, the tape/CD is on. I stick some of the flash card on the fridge so I'll read it everytime I open it or pass by. CD is on while I pick up my kids from school or from their activities. Create a pnemonic device or whatever interest you like music,poetry,etc. and applied what you study. Allnurses have a group whose taking NCLEX and you can learn a lot from them eventhough you're currently a student. Ask your teacher questions you don't understand. I tried to be in group but it doesn't work for me although it could help you. Diagrams is also a big help. Draw a human figure and mark the affected area. Also, tried to relate to NCLEX book of your choice (Saunders/Lippincot helps me). Goodluck and wish you well in Nursing school! Believe in yourself! Nothing is impossible! You can do it!

Hi Chelsey! Sorry! Now your user name makes sense,he,he,he...

Yes, you have to pass the HESI. They call it ATI. After every class you have to take an ATI Exam. Total of 7 ATIs(MedSurg, Fundamentals, OB, Peds, Mental Health, Pharm & Comprehensive).After you finished your last class you have to take Pharmacology ATI and Comprehensive ATI. If you pass Pharmacology, you can graduate although you will receive a blank certificate for Pharmacology. Then, you have to go back and retake Pharma. If you failed the Comprehensive, you can't graduate. You have to go back and take PNU 116 (the last class).Your going to receive 2 certificates (Pharm and Nursing diploma) when you graduate. If you pass both of them, you still have to review for the board. It usually takes about 2 weeks. Then you can schedule to take the board.

Chad, I also use that website. That's how we based our presentation. It's a great site. Actually there's 2 group of Filipino who used it. We have the same topic but only one group was allowed to present it. My group got the chance to do it. It's an amazement knowing how far our culture in pregnancy had gone. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for your response. Sorry it took me a while to answer. They love our presentation.

I'm a Nursing student in Illinois. I need help if someone know a website about Filipino culture in regards to pregnancy. I spent hours using the google but I couldn't find what I'm looking for. I'm particularly interested in pictures of woman giving birth in old ways such as midwifery("hilot" or "komadrona"). I need it for my powerpoint presentation. Thanks in advance!
