I've applied for the 1/1/10 competitive selection for entrance in Spring 2010. Are there any other applicants playing the waiting game with me?

From a legal standpoint, I think it might be necessary to have the clinical instructor or a staff nurse co-sign with the student under most circumstances. If an issue ends up in court (God forbid), it would be a nightmare for a student to be the per...

Don't feel like you're alone. Nursing school crams so much information into your head in such a short time, it can be mind-boggling. The good news is, after a while, the information starts to link together and you'll understand how all this stuff f...

My Taber's Medical Dictionary (hard copy) came with a year's free access to Taber's iPod application through Skyscape. I use it every day in clinicals. Very handy!

Love my Nurse Mates slip ons. They're very soft and comfortable all day long, easy to clean, and no shoelaces! I got them on sale for less than $60.00.

Most of the patients on the med surg floor during the clinicals I recently completed were COPD or CHF. We also saw patients with various stages of renal failure, pancreatitis, and cancer.

Different schools have different admission priorities. For the program to which I applied, out of 100 possible points on the admission score, 50% was NLN score, 25% GPA, 25% interview. Check your school's admission policy, and use your time wisely ...

I know that has to be a disappointment, but don't allow it to discourage you. The people that succeed in life are those who take disappointments and turn them into motivation. You can make it if you persevere!:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat Many are n...

I got my letter, too. The interview is on February 2nd for me, too. Good luck, everyone! Is anyone else in the 3:00-5:00 time slot?

I don't know anything for sure, but I think it should be very soon. I think they want to have final decisions before returning student registration on February 15th. Good luck to you!

Yes, waiting is difficult. Hopefully, I will get notice of an interview soon. I've applied for a Spring '10 start, so I won't have to wait TOO long to find out.

Are you in micro with me? I'm in the TuTh morning class.

Yes...nln was required for the packet...I was fortunate to do well on it. I got a 99. Are you already enrolled it WGTC? What are you doing this quarter? I've got Micro, Psy 2103, Soc. and Medical Term.

1. The vocabulary is general vocabulary, only a couple of medical terms on my version of the test. 2. I took the computerized version...can't help there. 3. The practice guide recommended on the NLN site prepared me fairly well for the science sectio...

You didn't state the age of your children, but, in my experience, children of almost any age are able to adapt to schedule changes as long as you remain consistent in your expectations of them. Don't try to compensate for having to spend less time ...

This Thanksgiving morning, this pre-nursing student is thankful for all of you willing to share your insight into the world I hope to join. And I'm thankful for all of you who work without a selfish thought (or even with a selfish thought, but doing ...

While nursing school will probably be more difficult than if you were studying in your first language, it is something you can do with hard work. I am sure your ability to communicate in two languages will be a great advantage in the search for a jo...

Do you have access to Galileo? There might be access through it.

I'll be applying January 1. I went to the mock interview on 11/12/09 wearing a business suit (skirt and jacket, neutral colors, dark pumps). The folks conducting the mock interview told me to wear that suit to the real interview. Are you applying...

I've seen the term chemical impairment used to describe the current condition of a person (ex. "he appears to be chemically impaired due to the slurred speech and stilted gait) to addiction (ex. "We work with the chemically impaired student on a reha...

Psychology is very helpful, for the general knowledge of both Mental Health disorders and brain function.

I took the NLN after my first quarter in school (after 30 years!!) The classes I had completed were the first A&P, College Algebra, and Psychology. I think those of us that had to do math before calculators had an advantage. The math section ...
