  1. OCC Math Placement Test

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Quick question - are calculators given at all? I have been practicing but math is not my area! I meant the nursing proficiency test of

    QuarterLife88 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

  3. Final exams

    QuarterLife88 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Anne! Just took my Foundations final yesterday. Got an A- (90). Just glad it's over. One more lab (ugh) and clinical day, and I'm FREEEE!!! I'm sure you passed:) Take

  4. Just got my acceptance letter Winter 2011!!

    QuarterLife88 replied to hannahjean5's topic in General Students

    Congrats! It's a great feeling, no matter what comes

  5. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

    QuarterLife88 replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    Free time? What's that? I wish I could crack a book that didn't contain the word "Nursing" on the cover. I miss reading for fun so

  6. writing papers during school?

    QuarterLife88 replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program - First year/first semester student - and we had one paper to write this term. APA sytle, 3pgs minimum. It was part of our first clinical rotation for the LTC/ECF. Depending on...

  7. Do/did you enjoy Nursing School? Or hate it?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Jayden8139's topic in General Students

    Mixed bag: I'm a first semester student so I have Foundations of Nursing. Theory is boring as sin. Where's the science? I'm doing well, but it's a chore to crack open a book. On the other hand I love...

  8. Who actually ENJOYS clinical?

    QuarterLife88 replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I've only had LTC clinical so far as I'm just a first semester, first year, but I love it! Today was great. Yeah, I'm only allowed head to toe assessments/ADLs/ambulating/vitals/bed making so far, but...

  9. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Dear fellow student: Stop holding the rest of the group up post-conference clinical with boring stories about your kids, husband, mother, sister's boyfriend's cousin's hairdresser. We've been here for...

  10. Overwhelming....

    QuarterLife88 replied to snk2503's topic in General Students

    Keep going. I'm a first year student as well. Tomorrow marks the end of week 4 for me. I've cried a LOT so far. It IS overwhelming, all that they ask of you, the readings, feeling like an idiot with...

  11. I find Fundamentals to be extremely dry. Is it just me?

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in General Students

    At my school we call it "Foundations" but same class. I'm bored except for when we do science related activities in lab such as vitals (b.p. was fun to me rather than frustrating! On the other hand...

  12. Class smart vs. clinic smart

    QuarterLife88 replied to rock&run's topic in General Students

    I'm the same as you - book smart, hands on...not so much. I'm so worried about looking like an idiot that I become one! I compensate by living in our open lab. Even making a bed imperfectly can send...

  13. Which of the nursing pre-reqs did you find the most difficult?

    QuarterLife88 replied to guevarrar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P1. Everything else was a breeze by comparison. I had no life when I took A&P1. On the other hand, A&P2 wasn't nearly as frustrating, and I loved Micro & Chemistry! I miss the...

  14. 1st Nursing Test Ever....

    QuarterLife88 replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I just found out I got a 90% on my first trst. Thank God! I thought I had failed (failing is below 80%). Now I can

  15. Do you actually read the assigned reading?

    QuarterLife88 replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Right now I do because it's not so bad, but I don't read before class like they want me to. PLEASE. I do NOT have *time* to pre-read while studying for an exam/lab skills tests, that are all happening...

  16. How is it going so far?

    QuarterLife88 replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I feel very overwhelmed. I finally see what people meant by saying it's nothing like the pre-reqs. The info, technically, is not hard, but boy howdy do they throw it ALL at you at once. THAT's hard! I...

  17. Who is worried about their first test?

    QuarterLife88 replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    So is mine. My first major exam anyway. I've already had a lab quiz - got 90% on that, so, so far so good. I'm currently studying for my first lecture exam though. The biggie. I'm annoyed because a...

  18. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    QuarterLife88 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well tomorrow it all begins! So excited. I know it will be hard as hell. I look forward to being busy though. I was so bored after Pharm ended -- I hate idle time. BRING IT ON! I have 9-12pm...

  19. Where do you sit in lecture

    QuarterLife88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    The front if I can. It makes me feel more ~serious~ and into the experience. I associate the back of the class with laziness because that's where I sat in high school and I was a slacker (I'm in no...

  20. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    QuarterLife88 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ACE is so annoying. The course screens will not load on my laptop. But it had no issue at all taking my $50

  25. micro

    QuarterLife88 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved Micro! I would take more classes at a higher level if they were offered at my school. I also found it to be easier and far more interesting than either A&P. A&P is very dry, IMO,...
