I over-think all my questions. I'm at the end of my first semester and I'm first starting to be able to stop over thinking them now. I can see why you came up with some of your answers for sure. Just remember not to over think. I take a colored pen a...

My school also requires a drug test. I know other schools that require a background test....

I'm so glad my boyfriend is so understanding and supportive. It makes it so much easier to get stuff done. And when he's home and being distracting (and he really doesn't mean to)? I just go to Starbucks. I make time to see my sister weekly for dinne...

That doesn't look as bad as ours. I'm finishing our first one now, it's a mock care plan and it's 25 pages. I'm dreading having to do a real one.

Same here!

I'm in my first semester of an ADN program and honestly, I wish we had more clinical time. I don't feel like we have enough time in the lab (we get 4 hours a week) or in clinical (1 shift of 7 hours a week, this includes pre conference, post conferen...

We had to write a complete care plan on four major diagnosis We had to write out every single medication, understand fully, any side effects, possible interactions with other meds as well as medical condition. We had to fill out a complete assessm...

I'm pretty sure we all do and we all take the same test

For our first DAY of nursing classes we had 7 chapters assigned. 50 pages a week sounds super easy right now. I'm trying to do as much as the reading as I can but I'm studying for our first test (Monday) based off of power points, lecture notes, our ...

Kumer, I'm taking it at night. There is a lot of reading but I'm actually ok. I love Prof. Kumer!

How was everyone's first week?

Exactly how I feel 100%

my lj after the first 2 days... death & dying: . i had a blast in this class...which part of me feels is wrong but she's that good of a teacher. and it was a 9am class on top of it! she's one of two professors that i'll take anytime during...

We have a 2 hour skill lab & a 2 hour mandatory skills practice in addition to our clinical

RN program, we start the 3rd week :)

Awwww...if it wasn't for some other information you posted I'd question if you were my guy. You sound a lot like him! Just be supportive and be there for her and understand when she needs to study.

Just remember to breathe and apply to more then 1 school!

There has to be! You'll be ok I'm sure! What do you play, COH/COV? I've tried them they give me such a headache!

We are the same way. Regular clothes for everything but clinical.

I'm starting an ADN program on Sept 13th. I have a BS already but an ADN was the cheapest route for me to go. My program we take Fundamentals and Dosage Calculation first semester. I'm taking dosage calculation online, as I think it's the best way fo...

I have it already, it was a pre-req to a few of the schools that I was looking at for an aBSN. With a B+ I don't see a need to repeat it. Having a BS already means I have a lot of the pre-reqs done, I'm going for the ADN instead because of price and ...

I wish you were going to NS with me! (D&D, video games..... yeah, I'm your girl!). But just breathe and remember that your in school to learn, and as long as you can get along and bond over the work stuff everything else will fall into place!

Thanks everyone! After speaking to one of my friends, I'm leaning towards taking Perspectives On Death and Dying which will be more helpful (among other reasons). It will make my Monday's super long....but totally worth it.

Thanks for this advice! I'm going to talk to someone in the nursing dept today and see what they say. With the amount of seats still opened for the one I'm looking at I have a bad feeling it's going to be canceled anyway. If not I think I'm going to ...
