  1. Lecture question

    Circejane replied to suni's topic in General Students

    If you're teaching Patho or Med/Surg, I'd recap the A&P of it. I was amazed how many people in my classes hadn't seemed to retain anything from A&P, and even those of us who did benefited...

  2. Rolling backpacks

    Circejane replied to HisBrownEyedGirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've seen fellow students use rolling suitcases, but the problem with those is that everything gets jumbled around inside. A rolling backpack is far better, imho, as it has pockets and compartments...

  3. Studying drugs

    Circejane replied to sneakymom2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would also get the "Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy" book by Springhouse (make sure you get the latest edition, things change fast in pharm). You seriously don't have pharm classes? Our LPN...

  4. Anyone have news of U of M RN-BSN-MSN revamp?

    Circejane posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'll be done with my ADN in May and really want to get right into a BSN program with as little downtime as possible. Once I'm working steadily as an RN, I won't qualify for the Pell Grant that I do...

  5. Anyone have news of U of M RN-BSN-MSN revamp?

    Circejane replied to Circejane's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This is incredibly helpful, thank you!!! It's exactly what I needed to know! It looks like I'll only need Research in Nursing and Dev. Psych--this looks very doable. Tuition is reasonable, too. Did...

  6. Professors who grade based on 'looks'

    Circejane replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard of this in "regular" classes but never seen it, personally--I think it's far less common than people think. Good luck to anyone who thinks it will work in nursing school, however. The...

  7. Anyone have news of U of M RN-BSN-MSN revamp?

    Circejane replied to Circejane's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank you for your reply! I have a few more questions, if you don't mind. I see that Flint requires 45 credit hours to be completed through them, but I don't think that I will have 45 hours worth of...

  8. Laptops and Nursing classes

    Circejane replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    I would say that this depends on the instructor. There are those who aren't so great, but there are those who are dynamic teachers and who help you understand the material better. It's also the time...

  9. Attitudes towards LPN's

    Circejane replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I'm speaking of a US ADN RN (lots of letters there!) vs. an LPN. I can only assume, as I'm not there yet, that the theory and research courses that make up so much of the upper level BSN coursework...

  10. nursing diagnosis

    Circejane replied to tgreen1971's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I recommend this book, it's the one that our school uses:...

  11. Laptops and Nursing classes

    Circejane replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    Half those clickers are probably checking their Facebook page.

  12. Very depressed & q for older students

    Circejane replied to Christine43's topic in General Students

    One very good student in my class is 60, and many of us are in our 30s and 40s. You're not alone! As others have mentioned, I'd get your childcare locked down with multiple backups before beginning...

  13. ADHD in Nursing school

    Circejane replied to Pinkpea11's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    The OP has double-posted this, one in the Disabilities forum and one in the General forum. Interesting how the two threads are getting very different

  14. CNA Skills Test----Help Please!!!

    Circejane replied to BayBay07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Who told you this? You always use a measuring device to measure I/O. Remember not to hold the graduate in your hand, but instead place it on a paper towel on a flat surface to read it, otherwise it...

  15. destroyed her laptop

    Circejane replied to AB normalRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is there an NCLEX prep class that you can take anywhere near you? That's what our school requires of students who don't score well on ATI. I don't know how much help it would be or the cost, but it...

  16. Attitudes towards LPN's

    Circejane replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    The OP is Canadian, and RN is a Bachelor's degree only there. She has no ADN RN option. I will say that the difference that I see between LPNs and RNs is level of knowledge. Not practical knowledge,...

  17. ADHD in Nursing school

    Circejane replied to Pinkpea11's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I second everything that the above poster said, and I wish you luck. My school offers two hours of free tutoring per class per student, plus a free weekly tutor-run study group if there is enough...

  18. Laptops and Nursing classes

    Circejane replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    My 4-year-old laptop was still going strong until what we refer to as "The Pepsi Incident" a few weeks ago. I used it for all my school needs, and it was great. My new laptop is spiffier and can do...
