    Having a dog during nursing school

    tokyoROSE replied to jiwonkim89's topic in General Students

    Have a relative or friend, someone you trust, come check on your dog when you are doing those 12's. I live with my parents, so my dog isn't home alone all that often. However, I think she would be...

    Suggestions for supplies :)

    tokyoROSE replied to JulieVN:)'s topic in General Students

    I like to stick to basics and I don't like to lug around so much supplies anywhere. My essentials are: 2 inch binder, plastic tabs (one for each class), a little pouch with three rings to put inside...

    Looking forward to grad school

    tokyoROSE replied to t-rick's topic in General Students

    I definitely think GPA is an important factor in getting into grad school. Since you still have time to raise your GPA, you need to focus on that. It has been a great emphasis for me as I am getting...

    tokyoROSE replied to green_girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both of those classes was super easy for me. It definitely depends on the instructor though... and what kind of statistics. I took a psych stats class in 3 weeks (11 days of class, 5

    People in my program don't care!

    tokyoROSE replied to BosRMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program is big on "assume good will." You have no idea what these people's circumstances are. Focus on yourself and don't be so mindful of

    No patients again!

    tokyoROSE replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    The hospital where I had my peds/nicu round had the same problems. They actually started to put ortho patients in those beds. Since I was tired of L&B and NICU, I asked a different instructor to...

    Just got into nursing school.. advice on how to mentally prepare?

    tokyoROSE replied to lalopop86's topic in General Students

    Relax and do things you enjoy because you may not (probably will not) have time for it during NS. Review A&P, especially cardiac and renal. Get an NCLEX book and familiarize yourself with...

    Oh how can I pass when 3 out of 4 answers seem correct

    tokyoROSE replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    So I got in... Now what about grad school?

    tokyoROSE replied to joe_mulligan88's topic in General Students

    The above post covers things pretty nicely. My advice is to get your feet wet in your BSN program first before thinking about grad school. No advanced practice nurse degree is more desirable than the...

    Question about Family Care Nurse Practitioner Degree

    tokyoROSE replied to rose0487's topic in General Students

    At least in my state, FNP allows you to work with adults only. I was in a clinic and saw a mom with kids come in, she was told that they do not see peds because the provider that day was an FNP. I've...

    tokyoROSE replied to Dre2416's topic in General Students

    I am in a BSN program that is very competitive in the state. We started with a class of 60, and have probably lost between 5-10 people. However, we've always gained students back so we are still a...
