  2. Digital Recorders

    ambitiousBSN replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use the recorder on my Notability app for iPad. It allows you to record right into your note sheet or lecture PowerPoint. It's convenient when studying because you listen and read.

  3. pharmacology

    ambitiousBSN replied to scotthyco28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with other comments. I am in second semester and taking Pathopharmacology along with Med/Surg and Peds (each separately). It actually has proven to be difficult because a lot of the material...

  4. Tommorow is the first real day of clinical! Confused!

    ambitiousBSN replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Hi! First clinical is exciting. :-) You'll probably do a lot of what you've been learning such as ADL's (feeding, bathing, toileting, etc.), vitals and a general assessment. I didn't give meds in the...

  5. Advice for med pass

    ambitiousBSN replied to Smouldering lotus's topic in General Students

    Oh man, this so much! I'm in my second semester and we're finally giving meds in clinical, and there's little to no space at the bedside. I've found that when I did the third check at the bedside, I...

  6. GPA lower than a 3.0, can I still be a nurse

    ambitiousBSN replied to twaugh1's topic in General Students

    I was in a similar situation as another poster. I was rejected from two ADN programs, even with a decent GPA above 3.0, but it didn't stop me from pushing through and working hard to get to where I am...

  7. advice regarding course choice

    ambitiousBSN replied to LoveAura's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it. I was a Medical Assistant for over 5 years and while it helps to have some kind of experience going into nursing school, it would be more beneficial for you to get a CNA. I don't regret...

  8. Where do you start?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Snowbebe26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No kidding! I'm wondering if it's a location fact as that person seems to live in Sydney. Regardless, I've also never heard of a CNA to RN bridge program, nor does that even make sense. While...

  9. What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In A&P, it was cardiac. And even now in nursing school, it's cardiac.

  10. Anatomy & Nursing

    ambitiousBSN replied to kfrazier91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If that nursing course is anything similar to Med/Surg in an RN program, having completed Anatomy & Physiology will help tremendously because in order to understand how to properly care for adults...

  11. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    ambitiousBSN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 30 and married, no kids. :-) I'm in my second semester of nursing school, so you're not

  12. Am I too old?

    ambitiousBSN replied to ollieanne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're never too old to go back to school! I'm 30 and in my second semester, and there are ladies in their 40's in my program. They, as well as you, are just as capable as the younger students. :-)...

  13. Accepted!!!!!!

    ambitiousBSN replied to StanleyNickels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!

  14. I got in!!!!

    ambitiousBSN replied to ant2cory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! :-) It's the best feeling, isn't

  15. Spring Break Countdown

    ambitiousBSN replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    I just started spring break as well! Too bad it's not much of a break as I have a Med/Surg final to study for!

  16. how long for clinicals?

    ambitiousBSN replied to bayli1's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program and we have clinical in all 4

  17. Keeping up with the Reading?

    ambitiousBSN replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    This. Even my professors will tell us to not read "just to read," but to skim through prior to lecture, and then go back and re-read for clarification. Otherwise, depending on how many chapters you've...

  18. prenursing

    ambitiousBSN replied to hudafuturefnp's topic in General Students

    It depends on the school and nursing program. When I transferred, I was considered a junior because I had over 60 credits; however, I couldn't begin the clinical program yet because I still had...

  19. how in the world does one pay for nursing school!

    ambitiousBSN replied to hoosiertwin's topic in General Students

    I have a combination of the following: tuition advancement from the hospital I work at + scholarship + grant + loans. I have a good amount saved in savings as well so it works out that I probably...

  20. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    ambitiousBSN replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cardiac!

  21. What is your schedule?

    ambitiousBSN replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    I am a second semester BSN student. I work part time in a program that the hospital I work at provides for nursing students to work part time while attending a nursing program full time. So, I only...

  22. Current/previous Notre Dame BSN students????

    ambitiousBSN replied to Taylo806's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just entered my second semester in their program. They require a 3.0 GPA in your Sciences, and a 2.8 cumulative. I had a 3.5 cumulative and the required Science GPA. It all depends how competitive...

  23. Gloves or not for IV meds?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Shibby3's topic in General Students

    I wear gloves no matter what I'm doing. As we're taught, consider everything and everyone

  24. Does pre-req science classes expire for nursing program?

    ambitiousBSN replied to michiboo's topic in General Students

    Most schools in my area expire Science courses after 5 years. It's probably specific to college, so check with your local college or the college of your choice to be sure.

  25. About to start nursing school, which pre reqs should I start with?

    ambitiousBSN replied to medical123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I initially had some issues with remedial Math at community college, and the awful part about it was that it locked me from beginning any Bio courses because it was a pre-requisite for Bio and...
