Wow. OP is only expressing her feeling how ADNs are sometimes put down because they do not have BSN as evidenced by the instructor's comments. We can all be very proud of ADNs or BSNs that can pass their NCLEX first time and with 75 Qs to boot. I h...

I bought mine on allheart.com. It was around $139 and had a student nurse kit from Littmann that gives you a CD with heart sounds, ID tag and extra ear buds(mail in form with proof of purchase). It was the best thing I could do for me for getting th...

I took an 8 week course, well actually 7 week because exam is on week 8, but did fine. The A&P book had study questions at the end of the chapter. Also, we got a coloring book/study guide book that helped a ton. The book also had a website you...

I got a Timex indiglo "Expedition" watch. Water resistent and has small military numbers with the slightly larger regular hourly numbers. Maybe $30-35 at Walmart/Target/KMart. Also, Dakota Watch Co typically have kiosks in the mall or you can orde...

I took the TEAS test after not being in school since 1986. I was also weak in Math. I actually did very well on the test. I remember some general science questions, reading comprehension, grammar, simple math, algebra and some higher math. You ca...

I am currently in term 3. I can try to help?

I am currently in my third term so I can only tell you what I know so far . . . Classes are day classes and can range between 2.5 to 4hr classes. Depending on if you have any transfer credits determines which classes you are required. The admission...

Congratulations girly27. I am in my 3rd term there and it is going well. There are some tough classes and some easy - which classes may be totally different for you than it was me. You will do great - the teachers are really good and want the stud...

Nope, or at least not that I am aware of. I'm sure not every mom tells of their wild days when they were young ;-)

OH, and almost forgot . . . my mom ALMOST named me "PATIENCE PENELOPE" - SERIOUSLY?!?!?! It was the 60's I guess.

I have heard of a few unique names. Went to school with some kids last name Bear - yep, the boy was named Teddy and the girl Panda.

As a nursing student, the blogs have helped me with a view into the realistic world of nursing - common complaints, suggestions and humor.

TALK to the person in your care and assess what they know and what they don't and what they expect. They were not frozen in time and all the sudden thawed and put into your care. The Amish are typically very friendly and kind and although maybe not...

Right now Borders stores has workbooks that are used for kids over the summer to help them with the transition from one grade to another. Seems remedial I know, but it really helps with some of the basics. Also, check with your local school distric...

No worries, you will be fine. I am over 40 and even though there are students my age, most are much younger. While I do not have much in common with them, I find that I can socialize in school with them. They do not ask me to go out with them outs...

check out the name tag at the bottom. it is engravable also - $4.99 http://www.steeles.com/catalog/3MclassicII_special.html

www.scrubs.com - i found a watch attachment that you can attach to any stethoscope.

Six degrees of separation folks -nothing on a social network (be they friend or not) is ever private.

Perhaps try that "Pearson" trick I have heard about. It is actually posted on here somewhere (try searching), but I think the basic trick if it lets you register again or not will give you a hint if you passed or not.

Attending now. I am enjoying the program and am glad to be able to have this opportunity.

I am a current student and can also test to the complete instruction you are taught at AI and the clinicals are at the best hospitals. I have argued before that if there is any kind of problem with passing that one should consider the committment of...

I found this online on NSNA "Study Tips by NSNA Members" September/October 2008 Imprint. Although, I don't know if this is what you are looking for, I thought it pretty useful. A mnemonic for "the basics" by a nursing instructor. You could try to se...

Morningmom is right - the DON went down to Georgia to meet with the NLN board for final processing. So the school is accredited and waiting final ribbon. AI has a much better reputation than what you think as far as hospital hiring. As I might hav...

Being a female I never really thought much of this as an issue, but I guess I can see where it would be. When I had my son I had a male OBGYN (because it was who my sister had and also who my insurance included), my previous OBGYN was also male. On...
