  1. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    mangopeach replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Hang in there, you are almost there! I feel the same way, tired and burnt out. I wish I only had 5 more weeks. I have 6 months left. May can't get here fast enough. Hang in there, you are in the...

  2. Did you find Med-Surg class much harder than fundamentals?

    mangopeach replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I'm like Ashley, there were times I barely studied for Fundamentals and still pulled off a great grade on the exam. I knew I could not do that with Med Surg, I had to put more effort into it. Yet, I...

  3. Kicked out of nursing school for leaving a bed in the high position...

    mangopeach replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    I would do nothing but focus on myself and try to figure out how I can move forward from this experience. Listening to the grapevine is not going to foster my

  4. Does pre-req science classes expire for nursing program?

    mangopeach replied to michiboo's topic in General Students

    Each program is different so you will have to find out from the program you are interested in. I had to repeat A&P 1 because it was too old. It worked out to my benefit. I had a B from the first...

  5. How can I stop being stupid with NCLEX questions?

    mangopeach replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    Do you feel like you have a good grasp of the material? I noticed you said you have no time for the book or something to that effect. To be honest, I don't read all the pages assigned- HOWEVER- I do...

  6. Educate a dinosaur :D

    mangopeach replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    ATI and TEAS V works the same way as well. ATI is the same company that administers TEAS entrance exams and then once you are in the program, you have ATI exit exams. .We do our exit exams at the end...

  7. Educate a dinosaur :D

    mangopeach replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    My school requires the TEAS V. I believe pass or fail on the TEAS depends on the school. They set the passmark so what can be passing in one program is failing in another. From what I've heard, my...

  8. Quit NS....now I'm afraid I won't get back in!

    mangopeach replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    Good luck! I hope it works out for

  9. Quit NS....now I'm afraid I won't get back in!

    mangopeach replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    Did you speak to an advisor before quitting? You need to do that. I've seen it go both ways in my program. One of my friends quit in first semester and they denied letting her back in. Someone else I...

  10. Kicked out of nursing school for leaving a bed in the high position...

    mangopeach replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    I think this is a good way to look at this. One of my favorite CIs told us she failed out of nursing school when she was weeks away from graduation. She is now working on her PHD. By the way, not...

  11. Travel time to clincals

    mangopeach replied to Britt2007's topic in General Students

    Currently 20 mins each way. We are at a different hospital for each rotation and I've never traveled more than 35 mins each

    Congrats Ms.Anne! Its so nice when people come back later to update us. Very inspiring. Good luck on

  14. Have you made good friends while in Nursing School?

    mangopeach replied to PreStudent101's topic in General Students

    Yes I have. Having friends in nursing school has made this experience so much better. They understand me so well when my non nursing friends don't. We all go through the same emotions regarding...

  15. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    mangopeach replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Not sure if this will help anyone else - I'm in my 3rd semester. We take Peds, OB & Psych in 3rd Semester. However, Peds & OB are half semester courses. You either do Peds or OB first then...

  16. Low gpa, need other options if I don't get in the nursing program.

    mangopeach replied to zoey09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think its a waste to do an ADN program. You will still be an RN and you can bridge to BSN. HOWEVER - Most ADN programs are just as competitive if not moreso, due to lower cost and time thus...

  17. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    mangopeach replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    We don't pay for parking at clinical sites. I think it sucks that students would not be allowed to park free. We are usually allowed to park wherever employees park. We get a parking pass for each...

  18. Physical books versus digital copy

    mangopeach replied to kntdoneyet's topic in General Students

    I have ebooks for my Med Surg and Psych text. I truly regret it. Yeah it was cheaper, but I would much rather the psychical text. You spend soooooooo much time studying, way more than you ever did for...

  19. Suplemental reading suggestions?

    mangopeach replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    I have all the books from the Reviews and Rationales and Success Series. As Well as Saunders 5th Edition. In Med Surg, I found Manual of Medical Surgical Nursing Care to be extremely

  20. Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    mangopeach replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think in your state at this point, having a BSN will be to your advantage. HOWEVER, I would not pay that amount of money for a nursing degree. Nope. No Sir. If I could not get into a cheaper 4 year...

  21. Not my day

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

    In my program. The door is locked after a certain time so if you show up late for lecture, you have to wait till a break to enter the classroom. So you end up missing a good portion of the lecture....

  22. Not my day

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

    I'm not a morning person myself so I feel your pain. I graduate in May and I might be the only person in my class that thinks new grads often getting stuck with 7p -7a is a plus. LOL. However, I know...

  23. How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    mangopeach replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    Depends on the program. At my school it was up to us to schedule our drug test. They told us the earlier the better but nothing was written in stone. We just had to make sure it was done in time to...

  24. Be a nurse or not?! HELP ME PLEASE!

    mangopeach replied to ENT RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you like about nursing? What about nursing interests you? Is salary the only thing that draws you to nursing? If so, then I would say don't do nursing. Having said that, I am not one of those...

  25. discouraged with my critcal thinking

    mangopeach replied to patty554's topic in General Students

    I agree with others that say your critical thinking will improve over time. However, you can improve your test taking skills in the short term! Practice as many NCLEX style questions as you can. Get a...
