  1. Where do you all get textbooks from

    ambitiousBSN replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I buy my books brand new (or like new without handwritten notes and/or highlights) from eBay and/or Amazon. I don't like going to the campus bookstore because you'd spend an arm and a leg just to get...

  4. Does anyone have an Erin Condren planner?

    ambitiousBSN replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I use an Erin Condren planner and absolutely love it! I also have the personalized stickers for clinical, exams, advising appointments, registration, etc. I find that the monthly spread really helps...

    ambitiousBSN replied to fcaruso1's topic in General Students

    Hi, and congratulations! :-) I'm an older student as well- I just turned 30 back in June and just completed my first semester of my BSN program. I'm among several older students, but don't be afraid...

  7. Advice Needed: Buy or Rent These Books?

    ambitiousBSN replied to ltran's topic in General Students

    Like someone else mentioned, I wouldn't rent a textbook. I just finished my first semester in a BSN program and I only sold three of my books on eBay when I was finished. I tend to buy all of my books...

  8. What is your grading scale?

    ambitiousBSN replied to smoup's topic in General Students

  10. Your Spring Schedule

    ambitiousBSN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I register at the end of this month for spring, but I know I have: - Pathopharmacology - Professional Nursing Care of the Adult I (Med-Surg I) - Nursing Care of Children and Families - Nursing...

  11. Ebooks? Some, all or none??

    ambitiousBSN replied to cnoto34's topic in General Students

    I have all of my books as hard copies. However, I have both my Fundamentals and diagnosis book on my iPad through Kno. Very

  12. Got Into Nursing School, Now What?

    ambitiousBSN replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    I bought Saunders NCLEX 5e before I started the program, and recently bought the 6e. It definitely helps when studying for exams because nursing exams are generally NCLEX format. The good thing about...

    ambitiousBSN replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

  14. Where do YOU sit in class?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I generally sit in either the second or third row, usually on the end (near the aisle) or against a

  15. What has been your favorite prerequisite?

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

    Mine would be a tie between Micro and A&P II. We went to a cadaver lab in A&P II so that was a lot of fun and made me realize just how much I had learned during my pre-requisites and that I...

  16. Brachial Occlusion Pressure

    ambitiousBSN replied to smoup's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. Not sure if being 'called' to nursing

    ambitiousBSN replied to junegirl's topic in General Students

    See if you can do some volunteer work on a nursing unit, or perhaps a long-term care facility. Or, see if you can do a shadow experience with a nurse. At least that would allow you to see firsthand if...

  18. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    ambitiousBSN replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    I'm 30 and will start my BSN program next Wednesday

  19. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

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

    We dissected a cat, fetal pig heart, and kidney. We also went to an anatomical gift registry where we were able to explore a cadaver, see different bones, muscles, etc., as well as a healthy heart vs....

  20. Erin Condren Life Planner

    ambitiousBSN replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    It worked wonders for me when I transferred last fall. Ended up making Dean's List in my first semester. :-) I'm already an organized person with OCD, but the thought of how much money I spent made me...

  21. I Need a Stethoscope

    ambitiousBSN replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I would highly recommend a Littmann Classic II! :-) Similar to another PP, I eventually upgraded to a Classic II after a few years of working in health care because I wanted a quality steth. Actually,...

    ambitiousBSN replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my BSN program in a little over a week, and apparently no late work will be accepted or

  24. Erin Condren Life Planner

    ambitiousBSN replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    That's understandable. I ordered mine back in June when they released, but had minor errors that they fixed by sending an account credit for another order- so I splurged (with the credit) and got the...

  25. NCLEX practice book

    ambitiousBSN replied to sarahmac09's topic in General Students

    I bought this in spring semester after receiving my acceptance letter. I've heard awesome reviews from friends who are now nurses- that it's a great way to prepare for NCLEX format. I'll definitely be...
