The longer you're out of nursing school, the more you forget. I don't think the study book is the only source you should be looking at. That is for those that have already mastered the basics. I would review past content and do a prep program as w...
FYI, things haven't changed. Brown nosing still works too. The more you have in common w/ your instructor - the better things can turn out. Some of the younger ones did not know how to finesse the situation. First win their hearts, then work your ...
Can only go by experience - what I've seen? #1 - most I've seen simply do not pass a final exam and have to retake it or take a year off or leave permanently. The program is rigorous, and stressful, not to mention long including prerequisites. Family...
wish_me_luck These are reasonable questions you are asking and it's better to ask, than assume and make errors...others making statements that you have a certain personality type is ignorant. I think part of the problem is so many women go into nurs...

If you can't swing an A in those two courses in one term, you'll probably never make it through nursing school. It might be a good way to gauge what you're capable of with two dependents before investing more time and money.
I think you also have to realize, you're getting the bottom of the barrel in applicants. At the end of my program not one person signed up to do a LTC integrated practicum or co-op. It's the last resort for all but about 1%. Nobody chooses to work...

Skip lunch and breaks, that's what I do. And if anyone asks, yes, you took your lunch or break. I think a lot of nurses finishing on time are good at prioritization - and by this, it's not a compliment - it means they cut corners big time and do wh...

For the love of God, take it. Your family will reap the rewards of a happier Mom/wife that no $4/hr. can ever make up for. From what you just wrote, I think you also answered your own question.
Moral of the story should also be, treat the whole pt., not just the number and not just the machine. One person's normal as stated above is not everyone's normal. And if you are worried about having difficulty getting a number or feel you missed a ...
I wouldn't worry that much until you actually get in. Most comm. college programs require a 4.0 (although they say they take a min. of a C, no one would ever get in with that kind of grade). If you do get in and actually finish, that's 2-3 years a...
if you can't chew gum and walk, you're in trouble in the real world..counting respirations should not be this difficult that we need a page dedicated to it.
better yet who would actually say something to a non-scrubber if we witnessed it? What about the non-veralizers...that's what keeps the non-scrubbers going.
OSU (Oregon state) has an online statistics course based in psychology. It requires no pre-requisites and is accepted towards any BSN program in our state. It's online. More expensive than a comm. college but cheaper than a university.
