  1. How many classes?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    My first semester consisted of 4 classes: Foundations (clinical), Health Assessment, Informatics, and Healthy Aging

  2. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    I have a black Littmann Cardiology III that I always keep around my neck both in clinical and at school. I also have an all black (Black Edition) of the Littmann Classic

  3. Textbooks keep/rent?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Mysticmomma's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm going into my third semester and I've only kept my Assessment, Funds, and Med/Surg books; and the obvious books such as my diagnosis book and drug

  4. Favorite Nursing Class

    ambitiousBSN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    Med/Surg so far because of what has been mentioned before- it's when a lot of things started coming together. I'll have another Med/Surg class in the fall, so we'll see if it stays as a favorite, lol....

  5. Pathophysiology

    ambitiousBSN replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school combines Pathophysiology and Pharmacology into one course. I think it's best to have taken A&P I and II prior to taking Pathophysiology because in order to understand the abnormal...

  6. Notre Dame of Maryland University

    ambitiousBSN replied to CreativeNurs3's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am currently in their nursing program. I just finished the second semester and so far, everything has been great. Sure, there are kinks to be worked out, or have been worked out as we progress, but...

  7. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    ambitiousBSN replied to Jenn829's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just want to piggyback off this. I felt the same way after the first semester. It was such a "culture shock," if you will, because it was such a different way of thinking and the tests are like...

  8. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    ambitiousBSN replied to Jenn829's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congratulations to those of you who were accepted! For those of you who weren't accepted- please do not give up on your dream! I applied to CCBC during two admissions cycles and was rejected both...

  9. in 6 DAYS, I won't belong in this forum anymore!

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

    Congrats! :-) I still check this forum regardless of being in a nursing program. I find that what has or hasn't helped me is helpful to pre-nursing students, so I still try to check in and see if my...

  10. surviving nursing shcool

    ambitiousBSN replied to ssbabygirl09's topic in General Students

    This! When I took Med/Surg the first half of the semester, I had that problem- with questions on exams, I had the problem of thinking too far into the question, so your comment hits the nail right on...

  11. Med terminology class?

    ambitiousBSN replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I think that's a great class to take for any health related field. I took a Medical Assisting program 7+ years ago and much of the medical terminology I learned in that program has proven to be a huge...

  12. What are you doing summer break?

    ambitiousBSN replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    - Working full time - Concerts - Reviewing dosage - Reviewing NCLEX questions Oh,

  13. CCBC Fall 2014 RN program

    ambitiousBSN replied to Jenn829's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Popping in again because nursing acceptances are awesome :-) In the past, Simon would say "SHP Decision Made," or something to that effect. It is true that you can potentially see a seat fee posted...

  14. How much do you work in nursing school?

    ambitiousBSN replied to ShortyinScrubs's topic in General Students

    I also work 24 hours a week. It's tough, but it can be done if you're willing.

  15. Harford Community College 2014

    ambitiousBSN replied to KatieJenkins79's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Notre Dame's program has been great. I'm glad I transferred and am going through their program. As for advice: 1. Buy a planner (not that I would imagine you don't already have one, lol) and seriously...

  16. hi, I need help for my project

    ambitiousBSN replied to baybay05's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good luck finding someone who will complete your interview. An interview is just that- an interview, whereas you ask someone the questions in person. Besides, how on Earth would you know for a fact...

  17. Harford Community College 2014

    ambitiousBSN replied to KatieJenkins79's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That's okay! Generally one of the Admins come in and move posts to different forums, so someone may come along shortly and do so. :-) Congrats on being accepted to HCC! I am in Notre Dame's program in...

  18. Passed my first year of nursing school!

    ambitiousBSN replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Congrats on passing! :-) I'm finishing my second semester as well. I'm currently in pediatrics and while it's less intense than Med/Surg (in my opinion...), I wouldn't exactly call it easy. I found it...

  19. Recommendations on Courses Before Nursing School?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Maylee5515's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I absolutely second pathophysiology! I'm currently taking Pathopharmacology and it has been such a disadvantage to not know the pathophysiology of disease processes as well as drug mechanism(s) of...

  20. Harford Community College 2014

    ambitiousBSN replied to KatieJenkins79's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Perhaps this should be moved to the Maryland forum for more responses.

  21. Nursing pre-req textbooks?

    ambitiousBSN replied to keho1986's topic in General Students

    I still have my A&P textbook because you'd be surprised how often professors will say, "Go back and review ____________ from A&P." It's also important to understand the normal anatomy and...

  22. nursing school in the fall, which book?

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

    This is so true! Syllabi always change, or you end up falling behind and topics don't get covered in class, or you skip a chapter all together. People assume that you begin with the first part of the...

  23. Recommendations on Courses Before Nursing School?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Maylee5515's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second Medical Terminology. I also took Abnormal Psychology and I feel that's been helpful during my clinical

  24. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    ambitiousBSN replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to do something regarding cardiac. I really enjoyed Med/Surg, and somehow I ended up warming up to to Pediatrics. I can really see myself in ICU though- I love the fast paced nature and the...

  25. Summer classes?!

    ambitiousBSN replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    THIS. Not to mention there are so many topics that get narrated and you have to teach
