Hi momtofore, I don't mind at all. Were you in one of my groups by any chance? You probably can figure out who I am by my screen name (LOL). First, I would like to say congrats to you and your fellow classmates and welcome! Now to your questions...

Well...you all survived orientation! :) It was nice meeting some of you today. Good luck!!!:):):)

You will feel like you are going to die some times throughout, but you will quickly discover that it is just the stress! : ) It will pass eventually! : )

Skeletor...did you just graduate in May?

A lot! LOL The information is very helpful though. Nursing school is different from anything that you have ever done before. We have people in my class that have their masters in other fields, and still find this program very demanding. However,...

Class of 2013, the next three days will seem a little overwhelming to most. Take a deep breath and relax! : ) You will get thru the next three days alive...I promise! : ) Good Luck!

Yes, you will need all those things.

I have seen numerous posts about being needing to be flexible, and maybe having to move out of state to find work. However, as I search the different states it seems that it is much the same all over. My family and I are willing to move in order to ...

Thank you everyone for your assistance. I am from New Jersey near Philadelphia, and as you could imagine we are saturated with nursing schools as well as tons of new grads looking for jobs. I am actually still a student. I will graduate in May 201...

Ratio/proportion Desired over have... Is this your first semester? Meaning, is this dosage exam on information that you have just been taught, or is it based on calculations that you have been doing from a previous semseter. Most math in nursing i...

Hi All: For those that have taken the HESI recently what would you say were the main topics covered in your science section? I am trying to gather some updated info for some professors, so that they can focus more attention on specific areas in the ...

I would have to agree with other posters. I felt that A&P I and II were way easier than Nursing. I have had straight A's all the way up until nursing school. In Nursing 1 I received my very first B. The amount of information that you have to...

I am curious to see if anyone has been in the same place that I am right now. I am considering taking time to finish my gen eds/co reqs, and to get some working clinical experience (nursing assistant). I would reapply to come back for the 2nd semes...

thanks all! ; ) Happy New Year!!!:):):)

It will not help you to get into the nursing program, but it has many benefits. Are you planning to continue on for your BSN after you are done? Phi Theta Kappa is on your transcript, and it looks good to perspective schools and employers. There ...

I have a question for students (since I don't start until Sept). I have read that there are times when males are excluded or not allowed to participate in particular rotations or with certain procedures (more specifically when it involves a female)....

my mother inlaw told me that her program had them do breast exams. In fact, her class had the men do the exams too. I haven't heard anything regarding this in our program.

Hey JonB04, The transition to college wasn't that bad at all. I had already set my mind on success and was not going to let anything get in the way. Someone else here hit the nail on the head when they said to not blame the material, or the profess...

4.0 gpa (so far and hopinig to keep it up). Class that are complete: A&P I & II, Eng Comp I & II, Gen Psych, Gen Bio I, Intro Chem, Nutrition, Sociology, Patient Care, and Medical Terminology. Also, I scored a 95.33% overall on the Hesi...

Don't get dicouraged. If it is what you really want to do get more information from your local schools and figure out a game plan to get you there. The school I go to is very competitive, but I got in the first shot. I believe the key is figuring ...

good answer to this question. There is no wait list for the program that I am in, but it is very competitive. You are either in or out based on admission requirements and how you stack up with other applicants. I have heard or many programs that h...

hahahaha your poor dad! :)

I agree. I took nutrition along with Eng Comp II, Gen Psych, and A&P I in the spring. The course was a piece of cake! As far as work load is concerned I had no problem keeping my grades up in all my classes. Granted, this could have posed to ...

Thank you all for your responses. czyja, I totally agree with your statement that it is all about the patient. If a patient feels more comfortable with a woman I can certainly appreciate and respect that.:)

JonB04, I am someone who did rather poor in HS. I didn't care enough to put the effort in. Getting "A's" is work and that is what it takes my friend. However, balance is "KEY". I have returned back to school after several years and I maintain a 4...
