  1. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Our orientation was at the end of August or beginning of September so I would assume yours will be around the same

  2. Mental Health Clinical/Class

    Lulu222 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm about a week away from starting my mental health class, and I'm slightly nervous because I've heard nothing but horror stories from nurses and other nursing students who have already taken the...

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  4. Can you take a blood pressure reading without a stethoscope?

    Lulu222 replied to matchsticktgt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've never heard of watching the needle..all I know is you can palpate for a systolic but you need to use a stethoscope for the diastolic. Nurses usually palpate for a systolic if they have no clue...

  5. MED SURG book...? Best one?

    Lulu222 replied to squishy11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree! Med-surg success is a great book! It provides rationales and also gives test-taking

  6. Need help with med-surg

    Lulu222 replied to sherriberry1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So many people think I'm nuts, but honestly reading the textbook helps me sooo much. It may be time consuming and for some people it doesn't work but give it a shot because I can't tell you how many...

  7. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Go for it! It's never too early to get started, but don't go overboard. It's pretty basic. For NURS 200 just start to memorize your conversions. I could probably rummage up a few practice questions...

  8. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No I did not take that class. I believe its only for incoming freshman. And yes, you receive your Ipod touch once you are enrolled in Nurs

  9. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I do commute, and its not a far walk at all..15th and market would be only about 3 streets away but I get off the patco at 15th and locust and from there it still isn't more than a 10 minute walk....

  10. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    :) I'm so glad I'm able to help you guys out. I'll be honest when I say it really is difficult. It's been especially hard for me this quarter, you'll find yourself staying home or being in the...

  11. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Ok..I'm gonna try to address everything in the order they were asked: Yes, the classes are separated in some cases. For example, in my class there is two different classes for the main 6-credit...

  12. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I honestly have never heard of a two-year fast track program. I'm assuming it's a brand new thing because I know myself and a dozen other transfer students would have jumped on that opportunity in a...

  13. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No problem! I know there isn't much information available out there, and I know I wish there was someone out there who could have filled me in when I was starting out. I didn't have to take any...

  14. Is HESI a good Judge for the N-Clex success?

    Lulu222 replied to OCD_Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    They are constantly telling us at our school how most students performance on the HESI correlates to how well they will do on the NCLEX. One professor of mine even said that the HESI is supposed to...

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  16. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Altogether, including the co-op..they say 3 years, but really its 2 1/2 from the start of the nursing classes. I'm only doing one co-op because I'm a four year student. I may take a minor because I...

  17. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

  18. Paying for the Drexel ACE program

    Lulu222 replied to bridgetmarie's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in the BSN co-op program at Drexel. They do give out financial aid but that all depends on your tax information just like any other FAFSA. I did have to take out a lot in private loans this year...

  19. Drexel 4 year BSN CO-OP Fall 2010

    Lulu222 replied to Finally my Time's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    To clarify, the co-op would be your third year if you're starting as a freshman. If you entering as a transfer it will be your second

    Lulu222 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

  24. pharmacology

    Lulu222 replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
