Hi everyone! I have an interesting question/problem. I just completed my first semester of nursing school (with a 3.68 :redbeathe haha, don't know how I did it) and still seem to have issues with blood/needles. I am not sure why I have this issue, bu...

I go to Towson Main Campus. As far as I know, if you get rejected, you can then accept a spot at Hagarstown. I dont know how it goes as far as just applying there. Its easier to get accepted, because most people want to be on the main campus. I say g...

Hello everyone, I am in my second semester of nursing school and we have MedSurg and OB together along with another side class. In my program, we learn "critical skills" the first semester and have to be tested out after we do them on the dummi...

We had to write it out, sorry.

I would have put 42 and left it at that. I have the same problem you do... thinking too much into the question. My professors catch me doing it all the time and have to stop me before I get carried away!

I passed my first semester too! All six classes! I didn't fail anything, but I did get the lowest passing grade once. That was on my first exam, which was scary! Anyway, goooo us!

I think it is a needle thing. Because I hate shots etc. I am not really specifically sure, but maybe blood is part of it, too. I have very little exposure to this, so maybe that would help?

I will share a few of the things I like to do: 1. Flash Cards - I find that even writing stupid little things that you may not find important helps. To me, it is hard to look at a countless sheets or powerpoints and memorize, I need it broken down, a...

D isn't true because STD's aren't always transferred through open sores. You don't have to have an open sore to get one. I feel like all of them are wrong in some way. That is hard. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Is there a resource, or your notes yo...

Hi everyone, I have been accepted into the Nursing Program at Towson University starting this Fall. I was wondering if anyone who attended this program could give me some advice, pointers, tips, whatever. I am really nervous, and feel like I shou...

Hi everyone. I just finished my second week of nursing school. At this point I feel pretty discouraged. I got a 55% on a graded homework (online test on a chapter we read) and a 70% on a quiz in Pharm so far. They are throwing all the "critical think...

I just had my first day of nursing school. It really wasn't that bad. In my program, we take six classes the first semester. We had two today. The first 8AM lecture involved all the students in our program (about 70). It was the fundamentals lecture....

Hi everyone, I am starting nursing school on Monday. I have been looking over my books and have a question. Do nursing schools typically let the students use calculators on the dosage tests? Or is it all by hand? I was looking at my book and they...

Kind of random, but when my grandmother passed away, she was in hospice care. After she passed, several nurses came in and were crying because they heard the news and were saying how sweet and lovely she was. We had to comfort one nurse. She was so t...

I have my orientation on August 27th, and then classes start August 31st. I am so nervous because I have spent all summer with no information. Thank god for allnurses! It has provided me with so much information. I have already ordered most of my boo...

I took Med Micro with four other classes, plus working part time. I had free time too. I mean yeah, it was the hardest class I have had hands down, but it is definitely do-able. We had tests and quizzes like every other class period so it involved a ...

Hey guys, I have looked around a bit, and haven't seen a topic like this. Do you think it is possible to start dating someone/ start a relationship during Nursing School? I know spare time is limited, so this is why I ask. Also, does anyone have a...

I have a friend who's been a nurse for a long time, and she said Vick's. Ive also had a younger friend who is a nurse recommend the same thing. Of course, like some people said, the smell brings up bad memories, so some people may have to resort to e...

I would PM you, but I haven't made enough posts yet to do that. I will when I post more. I really prefer reading because I don't have enough experience to speak on most topics. Anyway, I thought we had to be sized and our adviser had to "okay" the s...

I have a question. I am sorry if it seems really stupid. So after you do the application and everything to endorse in CA, do you have to take the exam again in CA, even though you passed the NCLEX in the original licensing state?
