  1. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 Students

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Are you guys starting your clinical right away? We don't start ours until the end of September, after we finish Fundamentals. I have to remember to pick up my badge this week. Today has been SO LONG....

  2. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    ErinRN2B replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    They pretty much told us that we won't have much of a life until we graduate. We essentially just covered the syllabus today in lab - haven't had lecture yet - tomorrow is our first practicum, over...

  3. What do you bring to class?

    ErinRN2B replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I swear by those big expandable file folders. I buy a new one every semester. I assign a tab for each class, and it's really easy for me to keep my papers organized that way. Other than that, I'm not...

  4. Studying for Science Section of TEAS

    ErinRN2B replied to Mti3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I bought the ATI study guide and it really wasn't much help on the science part of the TEAS. I've heard some people suggest buying a GED

  5. Drug test question

    ErinRN2B replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of echinacea causing a false positive result. When I had my nursing orientation, they told us to tell the specimen collector all of the over-the-counter and prescription medicines...

  6. Note-taking tips

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    Since I start my fundamentals lecture on Monday, I was wondering if any of you had any note-taking advice for nursing lectures. Did you use a computer to take notes or just pen and paper? Any other...

  7. Associate Degree in Paramedic Studies to Bachelor of Science in Nursing...

    ErinRN2B replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college I go to offers a paramedic-ASN bridge program. If you finished your ASN, you could complete a BSN program relatively quickly, and many of them are offered

  8. I Must Be Crazy...

    ErinRN2B replied to ruaalien2's topic in General Students

    That sounds like a fun class! I wish my campus offered it. My schedule is already pretty packed this semester, with Fundamentals, Med/Surg I and Pharmacology. I don't have time for any electives, but...

  9. What does your uniform look like?

    ErinRN2B replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    We wear Landau khaki pants and Caribbean blue tunic tops. We can also wear the warm-up jacket if we want, but it's not required. I believe that we only have to wear our uniforms for clinicals, not for...

  10. Anyone else have this set up?

    ErinRN2B replied to RNstdntSVSU's topic in General Students

    We have clinicals all four semesters in my ASN program, but we don't start our clinicals this semester until the end of September. From Aug. 23 - Sep. 30 we have Fundamentals lecture and lab, and then...

  11. Is this a bad TEAS V score???

    ErinRN2B replied to sch1109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on the applicant pool at your particular school, and your schools's specific requirements. I know we had to get an 80% in reading, 70% in English, and 60% in math and science to be...

  12. Chemistry Fall 2010

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

    I took Intro Chemistry this summer in a 10-week course and it was a killer. I got an A in it, but just barely. My instructor was tough and not very helpful, and the fact that it was an accelerated...

  13. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    ErinRN2B replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Brush up on metric conversions and ratios. Those are the only things that I remember struggling with on the math portion. The rest I thought was pretty

  14. What date do you start Nursing school?

    ErinRN2B replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    I start on Monday, we had orientation back in July. I believe that we have a pass/fail drug calculations test in our first week, too. I'm really excited to begin, but also very nervous! I'm really...

  15. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    ErinRN2B replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I only took the TEAS once, I know if I had taken it again I would have certainly gotten a better score. That science is what killed me. My adjusted individual score was 84.7% Reading: 92.5% Math:...

  16. how is my plan?

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

    My sister-in-law is a patient care tech (I believe that's her job title) at a major children's hospital in Indianapolis, and she loves it! She has benefits and works 9-5 with no weekends, and I think...

  17. What do your study spaces look like?

    ErinRN2B replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    That's really cute - I love the file thing you have hanging on the wall. Where did you get it? I've only lived in my house since June, so it's still very much a work in

  18. IUPUI (& other) Accelerated BSN (programs) Spring 2010

    ErinRN2B replied to anomaly's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I've been doing a lot of research on IUPUI's RN-BSN program. It sounds like a great option for when I'm done with my ASN at Ivy Tech, because supposedly all of the general education requirements can...

  19. What do your study spaces look like?

    ErinRN2B replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    A couple pictures of my "office," looks like my plant's not doing so

  20. Sigler's Prescription Drug Cards

    ErinRN2B replied to jil_'s topic in General Students

    I was curious about these, too. The bookstore at my school sells several different kinds of drug cards and they look like they'd be very useful for Pharm, but I was waiting to get some opinions on...

  21. Note-taking tips

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I wish I'd known about this for A&P, too! jil_, when I was in high school I often re-typed my notes after class because it's just easier for me to have all of my notes in one place....

  22. How do you prepare for class?

    ErinRN2B replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I usually go through the textbook ahead of class and make notes of the concepts that seem most important. This helps me prepare for lecture, and kind of know what to listen

  23. Note-taking tips

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I have the 2007 version. Do you remember how you find it? Edit: Okay, I just searched for it and found it. Thanks so

  24. Note-taking tips

    ErinRN2B replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I got all excited about the Notebook feature, but I guess that's only on Macs. I have an HP

  25. Few jobs for new grads? Help!

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, my name's Erin and I live in Indiana. I completed my pre-reqs last year and was accepted into my local community college's ASN program. I start next week. I'm very excited to begin my career in...
