  1. Overwhelming....

    mangopeach replied to snk2503's topic in General Students

    Oh you are not alone, I would imagine that many nursing students feel that way at one time or another. I'm half way into 3rd semester. I'll be done in May, wow! how time flies, but I definitely had...

  2. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    mangopeach replied to rnwannabe77's topic in General Students

    I have. No consequences. My instructor just sent me home. I was shadowing the wound care team and was doing fine. Most of the wounds I saw before I hit the floor were a lot worse than the one the...

  3. GPC Spring 2012

    mangopeach replied to sreed73's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Also, I would not plan on getting the IPOD from GPC in the Spring. Unless they get another technology grant. My class (Spring 2011) did not get them. However the Fall 2010 class got them. They had...

  4. Test Taking Skills

    mangopeach replied to Rod Karcher's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, the book comes with a CD that has A LOT of questions for each chapter. The CD is awesome. Best 45 bucks I've spent. I made nothing but 90's in med surg after I started using it. To the OP,...

  5. UGH! I Hate Psychiatric Nursing ....

    mangopeach replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    I love Psych, my plan is to do psych nursing after I finish school. However, I do understand. To put it mildy, Pediatrics was my least favorite rotation. I am so glad its over. I still have a few...

  6. New Grad Interested In State Hospital

    mangopeach replied to HelpMeNewGradRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm interested in this topic. I don't graduate till May and I'm going to be doing my psych rotation at a state hospital later this semester. I would love to work there when I

  7. The oh-so-common rude classmate(s)...

    mangopeach replied to ioiiipop01's topic in General Students

    I think everyone in this situation should grow up. I don't think there was a reason to report to the director that they were still discussing seating arrangements. So they wanna vent about it, let em....

  8. Clinical Hair

    mangopeach replied to VampsGal2009's topic in General Students

    Yup - and if you have skills checkoffs or validations - you don't want your hair getting in the way when you check off. People have failed a skill checkoff at my school for this and at my school -...

  9. applying with minimum gpa

    mangopeach replied to rgs829's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school. GPA counts for a whole lot more than TEAS V scores at my school. The first spots go to the highest GPAs with no repeated courses. On my school's website it says 2.5 to be...

  10. Nursing School Not For Me

    mangopeach replied to daniellevw's topic in General Students

    DanielleVW, I agree with everyone else. Good thing you realized this now than later. For I'mReilly, maybe bedside nursing is not for you. The only area of bedside nursing that I have a real interest...

  12. Vital Sign Skills Test

    mangopeach replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Practice practice practice. This is also a fantastic website. I was having the same issue when I started doing VS and this website helped me tremendously with distinguishing what I should be hearing....

  13. Skill Competency Error

    mangopeach replied to um_bek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Don't beat yourself up. You are still learning and yes, while in nursing school, chances are you may make some mistakes. The good thing about lab, is that is where they want us to make the mistakes so...

  14. Pharm Math Req in your school

    mangopeach replied to exit96's topic in General Students

    100% @ my school. The hospital I'm doing clinicals this semester also required their own math test. So we had to pass our school's test and the hospital's own test with 100% before being able to start...

  15. Sending transcripts from 10 years ago??

    mangopeach replied to mkm81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out if you can get academic

  16. Improve test taking for new nursing student

    mangopeach replied to studyjunky's topic in General Students

    Practice as many questions as you can. I highly recommend the Saunders NCLEX guide. It can take you all the way through nursing school. The CD is awesome, tons of questions. Do the questions at the...

  17. Advice for a student nurse that wants to do Psych

    mangopeach posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello all, I would really appreciate any advice you guys can give me. I won't be finished with school until next May but I am already thinking about job searching. I really want to do Psych. I have...

  18. ATI Testing

    mangopeach replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    Yes. We don't have reading assignments from our ATI books. For skills checkoffs, the skills videos were assigned prior to learning the skill in lab. That to me is the best part about ATI. The skills...

  19. ATI Testing

    mangopeach replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    Here's a recent thread about ATI

  20. Please help me understand what ATI is exactly

    mangopeach replied to dayshad's topic in General Students

    We use ATI but we don't have to buy the books. Our school gives them to us. If you have an ATI exit exam, be sure to go over those books. From what I've read on All Nurses, like a lot of other things...

  21. Fellow student, BIG TIME user and cheater.

    mangopeach replied to hopeful_2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If she's a cheater then she probably won't make it through nursing school. One thing though, be careful about hearsay. People are telling you things about this person but you didn't actually witness...

  22. Favorite formulas for drug and IV calculations

    mangopeach replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    No I did not use a book. I had an awesome instructor who is also the author of this med math book - honestly though, she was so thorough at explaining things, I barely even cracked open the book....

  23. Best Review/Study Guide for MED-SURG?

    mangopeach replied to SN:CPC727's topic in General Students

    I love Saunders! I also like The Success Series and The Reviews and Rationale Series but Saunders was like my bible for Med

  24. Second Degree Nursing admission: Does what undergraduate college you come from matter

    mangopeach replied to iridescence89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I doubt that the school you went to will matter. Have you done the nursing pre-reqs yet? If not, ace them and you can raise your GPA up a

  25. Favorite formulas for drug and IV calculations

    mangopeach replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    Dimensional Analysis all the way for me. So easy! I struggled with math in prereqs but dosage has been a breeze for me thanks to using the dimensional analysis
