Johns Hopkins Univ. School of Nursing has great resources... http://www.son.jhmi.edu/resources/career/center/resources/

Repetition is key. Take pics, spend extra time in the lab, take online quizzes, etc. Try to make up mnemonics if applicable. Good luck.

Yes, I'm in my second semester of nursing school. So far, it's not too bad. I study ~ 2-3 hrs. per weekday and more on the weekends. If you get the concepts of the material, you will be fine.

I agree with, Pneumothorax. I would also add saying goodbye to your friends and family. Socially and mentally, you may be unavailable to them. :)

I do not know you, so I'm just going to say it. Go to nursing school. You have done all of the pre-reqs. and know that the 12-month program will be challenging. I assume you are not scared of a challenge, so just go for it. Make sure your family s...

]I wondered the same thing while taking A&P I and II. In my opinion, you need a strong A&P background. If you have that, you should be fine. In A&P your professor may ask about the lifespan of erythrocytes. In nursing school, the pro...

There are numerous amounts of notes on Google too. Type in "anatomy and physiology lecture notes" and you will find tons. Professors post PPTs, students post docs, etc. I find tons of notes for nursing school that way too. Saves me the trouble of...

]I start med-surg 2 in approx. two weeks and I'm freaking out a bit. Can someone provide me with info. regarding med-surg 2? I.e. - what topics did you cover, difficulty level, etc.] I have taken med-surg 1 and it was pretty easy. Thanks in advanc...

You are working hard to successfully complete the NCLEX-RN, not NCLEX-PN. Get the RN job that you want. Do not give up.

Check with the nursing programs that you are applying to. I am second-degree nursing student and I only had to take the HESI entrance exam. Another school I applied to required ACT scores. Every program is different.

]Congrats! Make sure you have all of your paperwork, shots, etc. submitted. Rest up and get ready for the ride!

]Based on the med school curriculum, one can only assume that it is more challenging than nursing school. Harder? Well, that depends on your definition of hard. Time consuming? Definitely. Nursing school is all about critical thinking, common sen...

]Med-Surg isn't bad. Study a lot and know the key points about each disease process. Here are a few topics my class covered (med-surg 1): ] Heart failure ] Hypertension - orthostatic hypertension ] COPD ] Diabetes Mellitus ] UTI ] Med - ace in...

Bhanson made it very clear on how to achieve an A in A&P 2, or any class for that matter. Study every day (> 1 hr.) and understand concepts (do not just memorize). Understanding the concepts will make nursing school a heck of a lot easier. ...

Typo... make that April 2011.

Avid runner here... transitioning into triathlons. I plan on running another ultra-marathon in April 2010. I would go crazy without being active. By the way, I'm a second semester student.

I do not know your financial status, so I am going to answer this based on the fact that your nursing school budget is $10K-$20K. This "should" be enough money to attain a ASN or BSN. First: Pick a few local programs where you would like to apply...

]I suggest taking all of your pre-req. (A&P I & II, Microbiology, etc) courses prior to nursing school. This will allow you to solely concentrate on nursing courses. If you perceive yourself as a slower learner, then study - way ahead. Mos...

Congrats! You should enjoy statistics. We related everything to card games and other real world situations. You should be fine. I agree with, iluvpatho. It's easy.

Congrats and good luck. I took my nursing pre-reqs. at NCTC (Corinth campus) and transferred to nursing school in Arkansas. I know a few people in the program and I here it's fun. Start familiarizing yourself with AD PIE (assessment, diagnosis, pl...
