I'm curious about this myself. I want to take the exam in the next few months and while I don't want to spend a ton, I wouldn't mind finding out what study materials have worked for others.

Next week, we start going from one patient to two. I'm in my 3rd semester of a small ADN program with no medical background (e.g. I have never worked as a tech or such). And so far, I really haven't had a chance to do many skills either -- just lack ...

Thanks for the feedback! I can kind of get a sense of how my morning will go -- on Monday we have no idea what we will have and on Wednesday when we return, sometimes it's the same patients but sometimes not if they have been discharged.

What anon said, exposure to daylight can help, even through a window. Of course, not so long they burn, etc.

I plan to apply at first the NA program next summer and then the ADN in the fall 2010 at the DeWitt campus. Anyone have any experience there?

Like others my program has a different scale than your usual 90/80/70 etc. In my program 93-100 is an A. 86-92 a B. And 78-85 is a C. Everything below 78 is failing!

Whew! Took two tests today after one yesterday! Passed yesterday's with an 87, just found out. Hopefully good grades today too.

I have a two-day long orientation for my ASN program at a local community college. Not sure at all what to expect! Who's btdt, so far? How long was your orientation? We start class a week after orientation is done. Excited but nervous!

Ohhh yes, we also had some topics like available student services and stress management. Busy day!

Whew! Just got back...long almost 8 hour day and it was 1.5 hours from me (main campus of a 3-campus system). Tired and head hurts but a lot of information to chew on. There was a review of critical thinking skills, legalities of nursing, medical ter...

Thanks all! Getting ready to head out this morning -- will let you know how the first day goes tonight!

I used the international editions of my micro, a&p and chemistry textbooks. Same exact material, just softbound. Saved big $$'s!

I got several of my pre-req textbooks for cheap through Abebooks.com.

Bumping this -- anyone here planning to attend the DeWitt or Helena programs this fall? I am!

I've applied at DeWitt for Fall 2010! Looking forward to it!

Thought I would give this a bump. Anyone planning to go the program at DeWitt or HWH this fall?

I'm 37 here, just finished pre-reqs and will start this fall. I will be close to 40 when I graduate and start working.

Hey there! I'm planning to start a nursing program full-time in Fall 2010 as well. Right now I'm finishing up my last prereqs (Micro and AP2) and applying for a few programs in my area. I have a previous B.A. in anthropology and am looking at both a ...

Thanks for the responses! I'm really excited to start the program next fall...just slogging through A&P2 and Microbiology now.

maria, you may want to try posting in the Florida forum to get more specific information about hospitals in that state.

I am continuing to work full time and take care of my one year old. Fall 2009: Microbiology (online with on-site lab) A&P2 (online with on-site lab) Whew! That will be enough! I can apply to the program I am interested in in January.

Oh yeah, it's definitely too far to commute from Memphis to the others. HWH admits ever fall, though. What about community colleges in Memphis, too?

According to their website (http://www.pccua.edu/alliedhealth/adn_admission_requirements.htm): "Students are admitted to the HWH campus every year, DeWitt campus on even years, and Stuttgart campus on odd years." Applications are due on June 1 fo...

Good luck to you too this fall!

Family and the need for some change brought me to Hot Springs back in 2005. I do love it here and plan to visit often. My fiance works in Stuttgart and lives in Almyra during the week but is here on the weekends -- so it's time soon to join the house...
