  1. Can you unscramble...

    shortnorthstudent replied to Spikey74's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. Read what the question is asking for. Remember that there will often be answers with incorrect labels that can be easily ruled out if you make sure you know what units you are going to be...

  2. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just saw this. Hope you got it straightened out in time to register for your preferred sections. Registration this quarter was outrageous. The school's system just cannot keep up with the number...

  3. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Glad to hear that you got everything straightened out. Make sure that you stay on top of your degree audit status. You will be unable to register for classes until that shows that you are nursing...

  4. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats. It was so exciting to get to the orientation day. I didn't have any trouble with the fingerprinting and didn't hear of anyone in my class having troubles. That must be incredibly...

  5. Practice question that doesn't seem right.

    shortnorthstudent replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    I chose O2. My thought process: you know you have a patient in respiratory distress. You believe it is asthma, but aren't sure. You have patient in a room/curtain and right there there is O2. The...

  6. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    shortnorthstudent replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    We have several classes a day. I may not need all of the books for class each time, but the day I leave something in my car or at home, I need it. So, I use a rolling case and cart a lot of stuff...

  7. Where are you doing clinicals this semester?

    shortnorthstudent replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    2nd quarter ADN student Our clinicals this quarter are OB. We will spend most of our time in post~partum, but should have an opportunity to see a vag and c-section delivery and spend some time with...

  8. Anatomy harder than nursing school classes?

    shortnorthstudent replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    They are very different types of classes. I took a 3 term sequence of Anatomy, Physiology and Patho. For me, Anatomy was the most difficult. Straight memorization and regurgitation. Not my...

  9. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm a bit envious that you already have your clinical assignments for next quarter. Traditional hasn't heard yet and I would love to know so I can schedule my next three

  10. % of people failing your program?

    shortnorthstudent replied to woahmelly's topic in General Students

    Hmmm, I think we have about a 25% attrition rate, but I'm not entirely sure. We definitely lost a few along the way and had several who were in danger of not making it through finals. But, I won't...

  11. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Sorry. Term = quarter. First quarter clinicals are 4 hours for the traditional program. 2nd quarter I believe that they are 8 hours. They slowly increase in length throughout the

  12. nursing schools. May have screwed myself...

    shortnorthstudent replied to defhalotones's topic in General Students

    Did you withdraw or did you simply stop going? Did you get any sort of exit interview? Did you form a relationship with any of your instructors? Perhaps you can go and talk to one of them. I would...

  13. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    In the traditional program, first quarter you can pick your clinical day - either a Monday or Tuesday. After that, you are assigned days/times. You can certainly send a note to the coordinator...

  14. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    While I generally agree with this, there is a flip side to waiting a year with less debt. People should also consider the difference in earning from say today until they finish their program. If...

  15. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i've yet to have a 'dumbed down' nursing prerequisite and haven't talked to anyone who has. and it's my opinion that nursing school isn't just for the super smart, retain every little piece of...

  16. tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    shortnorthstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I think it's interesting that many of you seem to do maternity fairly late in your programs. I am there next term and appreciate all the information everyone has been providing. But, for us, it will...

  17. Anyone ever take A&P I and Chemistry together?

    shortnorthstudent replied to ahsile's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What Chemistry is it? General, Intro, Organic and Biochem? Is it a lab science? I wouldn't recommend taking two lab sciences at the same time. I think anything is possible with motivation. But, I...

  18. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am very happy with CSCC. It's hard to believe we've made it through the first quarter. It definitely felt like getting thrown into the deep end those first couple of weeks. It took a couple of weeks...

  19. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    shortnorthstudent replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Eating unhealthy foods, too much, etc. are the lifestyle parts of this sentence while the obesity is the disease caused by those things. You could just as easily say that lung cancer is a lifestyle...

  20. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. I'm in Ohio. I believe that grading scale is pretty common. I've seen anything from a 75 up to the low 80s being a passing

  21. Can Micro and A&P1 be taken at the same time?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check for sure with your school, but at mine neither was a prereq for the other, so technically you could have taken them together. However, I don't know many people who would suggest taking...

  22. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Artificially inflating grades is an injustice to the students. I fully agree that many students may not be natural test takers. However, colleges have ways of helping them that does not include...

  23. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    shortnorthstudent replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    That's wonderful that your school is so hands on. That's amazing that they have the ability to have someone double up on clinicals. I don't know that that would be allowed or even possible in our...

  24. Student Moms

    shortnorthstudent replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I waited. My children are now 9, 7 and 5 and I am procrastinating right now (have my finals for my first term next week). I started taking prereqs when my youngest was not quite 3. I took them 1 or...

  25. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    shortnorthstudent replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    The thing is that you don't 'successfully graduate' from the program unless you hit a specific percentage on the HESI. It isn't that you graduate and then they don't allow you to sit for the NCLEX,...
