  1. Done with first clinical rotation!

    Sounds like a great experience for your last clinical day in that rotation. We do our first term clinical in a LTC facility to practice assessments, so I haven't had anything exciting like that. I do...
  2. Done with first clinical rotation!

    Very exciting. Do you like the shortened 1/2 term clinical? We divide rehab/psych in one term for clinicals, but the remainder of our clinicals are full term long. I can see pluses and minuses to...
  3. partial/full thickness burns

    Only if I get the 10%. I think you will find the members here to be very helpful. However, I have never seen anyone willing to do someone else's schoolwork for them. I would recommend doing the work...
  4. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    What about those students who are accepted into their program, but are on a wait list to actually start for 9, 12, even 18 months? What are they? They're no longer pre-nursing students, what exactly...
  5. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    I'm curious. Do you all have an opinion on the difference in these two terms: nursing student student nurse I was accepted into my program this past winter, so technically I was a nursing student at...
  6. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    I know it would be impolite to ask you why you are retaking 1st term. But, seriously you went through this before. And, we had to take an STNA and CNA class even before applying for nursing school....
  7. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    For some reason I think there might be more. But, this is what I recall. Proof of vaccination or titers. MMR Varicella Heb B Tetorifice If you have let your TB test get more than 1 year old, then...
  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    To Ms. Perky Boobs, just a couple of suggestions: 1 - you do have spectacular breasts, but none of your classmates or the residents at the nursing home care. Save the revealing tops for bar hopping...
  9. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    I think it changed right around orientation time. I think KayCo is right that it didn't change until you've completed everything you need to do to be cleared to register. That includes things like -...
  10. Definitely check and see what is available at your school to help you study more effectively. My school has supplemental instruction 3x a week, programs on the computers in the nursing lab to help...
  11. CSCC response time for online track

    Be sure to check with the nursing program about this. I had a friend apply in the fall to the online program. When she applied in the spring to the traditional program, they pulled her online...
  12. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    I'm really not qualified to give you a good answer since I just started. But, I cannot imagine working a full time job right now. I don't know anyone in our cohort who is working full time, but I do...
  13. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    I went part time because I have 3 small children spring 08 intro to psych (my first class as a college student in 20 years. figured I'd start lite) summer 08 intro to chem communication - speech fall...
  14. Want to share my 1st week experience in NS...

    I would check to see if your school offers any supplemental instruction or help with study habits. Our school started off with about that many chapters - actually I think we had 14 before the first...
  15. Your pre req gpa....

    I had a 4.0 in the classes that were actual pre-reqs. By the time I started nursing school, I'd taken all of the co-reqs as well and had an overall GPA including those of 3.92 (darned online...
  16. How to deal with an incompetent classmate?

    Just curious how this all worked
  17. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    Our first day of class I addressed one of our professors by her title, last name and she corrected me and asked that I call her by her first name. I am only a week in and each of our professors this...
  18. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    Congrats everyone on getting your letters. Take the time from now until you start to finish anything else you are going to take and get your life in order. I'm one whole week in now and I can tell...
  19. Finally a Nursing Student

    I was accepted to nursing school way back in March. It had been a long road getting there. We had our first class today and I finally feel like I can really call myself a nursing student. It's hard...
  20. Finally a Nursing Student

    Yes, ADN program. We're the last class on a quarter schedule and the nursing courses are 7 quarters. Thanks for your thoughts all. It is nice to be able to "talk" with people who understand the...
  21. is it possible to take all these pre-reqs in a year?

    It depends on your school and your comfort with the materials. How are you when it comes to math, science and English? Did you have a couple of years of algebra in high school? How did you do in...
  22. Little more than 2 weeks till CSCC starts

    NURS110 professor sent out an e-mail yesterday that the Wednesday seminar people would be starting Wednesday instead of Thursday as it showed on the materials from orientation. Apparently, they...
  23. Little more than 2 weeks till CSCC starts

    I've had lots of people give me advice to be flexible with nursing school. I'm giggling this morning now because classes haven't even started and I'm seeing how true this is going to be. start...
  24. is it possible to take all these pre-reqs in a year?

    I was going to suggest that several courses that you are looking to take may be pre-reqs for other courses. My college requires Eng prior to any of the other courses you listed. Chem is often a...
  25. First nursing class: Complete!

    Congrats. Do all your terms run 4 weeks? That would be a crazy schedule to fit full courses in in such a short timeframe. I've done shortened summer classes that are 4 weeks long, but that was a...
