  1. Is 50+ pages of reading a week "normal?"

    ErinRN2B replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    "50+"??!?! Count yourself lucky that you don't have to read as much as we do. We have to read about four chapters in our Fundamentals books a week right now, and each chapter is about 30-60 pages......

  2. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    ErinRN2B replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very well said, Paco69. I think I've mentioned it on here before, but if it helps you (and esp. if you're a visual learner) try out the A&P coloring book. It's kind of fun and helps to reinforce...

  3. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    ErinRN2B replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Yes, tons of people do this at my school. Before I was accepted I would usually refer to myself as "working towards getting into the nursing program." My school is really competitive; it's our area's...

  4. Med Tech, U of Indy...which one?

    ErinRN2B replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Good luck, Emmi.

  5. failing. Lord help me?

    ErinRN2B replied to thejourney's topic in General Students

    What are the reasons for your struggles? I know that at my school, if you're scoring below a C the instructors require you to have a conference with them. I know some nursing instructors can be...

  6. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    ErinRN2B replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally did not find A&P difficult. It's certainly nothing compared to the nursing classes. If you're in A&P 1 I assume you're doing skeletal, muscular, etc... Find a study method that...

  7. icky question....but

    ErinRN2B replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to community college, where the cost of tuition is pretty low. I got grants that paid for most of my tuition and books. I've taken out some subsidized student loans to cover living expenses...

  8. Should I be concerned/

    ErinRN2B replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    I don't know... There's only so much you can learn from thumbing through textbooks or NCLEX prep books. I would imagine that if you don't understand how to apply the nursing process to real-life...

  9. Affordable nursing programs with no waiting lists.

    ErinRN2B replied to Awright162's topic in General Students

    I live in Indiana and go to Ivy Tech Community College. I'm in their RN program right now. ITCC is (by far) the most affordable program in the state. If you're able to get Pell grants or O'Bannon...

  10. I just ROCKED my final! :)

    ErinRN2B replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I'm hoping for the same outcome on my Fundamentals test next

  11. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    ErinRN2B replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I've been spending about two hours a day studying. I have a big Fundamentals test on Tuesday, so I will have to spend a lot of time in the books tomorrow and Monday. I got As in my pre-reqs and I'm...

  12. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    ErinRN2B replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    The ITT Tech commercials are the cheesiest of all of them. I think that's probably what they're most well-known

  13. Everest College

    ErinRN2B replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    An Everest location was discussed in the Frontline episode "College, Inc." I think it was in Florida. Three former nursing students are now suing the school because of misrepresentation; they said...

  14. First week of school! :-)

    ErinRN2B replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    My husband said that he'd let me practice finding an apical pulse on him. :) We have a practicum on that next week, and I want to get in as much practice as I

  15. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    ErinRN2B replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    Yes, that's what I meant - sorry about the

  16. Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    ErinRN2B replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    I have to say that I agree with Paco69. Not for those particular reasons exactly (although he makes a fair point), but for some more serious ones. The Department of Education is currently considering...

  17. First week of school! :-)

    ErinRN2B replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    Well, I got an 84 on that test. I'm really going to try to do better on the next one - I studied so much for this one, so it's just

  18. First week of school! :-)

    ErinRN2B replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    Well, at least I've got my first test under my belt... Honestly, it wasn't that tough, but there were a couple questions that I'm pretty sure I missed. There were 25 questions total. I'm used to being...

  19. Microbiology problem, 3 credit course OK!?

    ErinRN2B replied to igrassl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm... I go to Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana. I took Micro last spring as a three-credit course, including a lab and lecture. I've already talked to IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University...

  20. GPAs in NS school

    ErinRN2B replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GPA right now is a 4.0. I got As in all of my pre-reqs for the nursing program. I just started the actual program this past week. It's tough, but I hope to continue getting As. Some of my pre-reqs...

  21. First week of school! :-)

    ErinRN2B replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I started on the 23rd, too - we have our first test tomorrow and yes, we have had quite a lot of reading! I'm going to go over all of my notes tonight, and then again tomorrow during my break. We...

  22. How to prepare before NS starts?

    ErinRN2B replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    My mom and I went and got pedicures the week before this semester started, and me and my husband went out to eat at a fancy restaurant and got a few drinks. I know I won't have time to do that kind of...

  23. GPAs in NS school

    ErinRN2B replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GPA in high school was about a 3.0. I am applying myself much more now that I am in college, working towards a degree that I am passionate about, then I did in high

  24. online

    ErinRN2B replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of any reputable online RN program. Any RN degree program will include a lot of lab hours, and many clinical hours that you will have to

  25. PCT resume help?

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi everyone, I'm starting nursing school tomorrow. It's an ASN program, and we start our first clinical in September. I'm trying to get a job as a PCT while I'm school so that I can gain experience...
