Sooo I had my first day of clinicals... It went well... did some trach care... learned a lot about TPN, tube feeding... saw how you administer it etc... but I feel like I know nothing.. Is this normal? I look at the IV's and have no idea what I woul...

Is it fair...eh not so much...does it concern you...eh not so much. Your in...thats all that matters. And honestly, working so hard to get good grades and a good TEAS score is a personal thing. By lowering your expectations of yourself because others...

We got a ton of people that were later in the waitlist than you...you have a really good chance...dont give up hope and best of luck :)

I find that the questions at the end of the book really help. Sometimes, depending on your book, they have CD's. I do allllll the questions in the chapters we covered. Look at the questions and if you dont understand them, read about them and take no...

I've heard similar concerns from people...bottom line...its tough to get a job period right now in the nursing field, wether you have your BSN or an AA. If you had a choice, I would go the BSN route because I have heard from nurses and doctors in the...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to your question!!!! I was away on my honeymoon. All the Littmans are great...i ended up getting the cardiology and I love it. Dont get it in pink...it gets pen marks alllll over it. As far as everything you have ...

Maria- Couldn't help but read your post and respond... Im in my second year at stan in nursing... I think someone in our class was in the 60's and got in...it all depends who does and doesnt end up deciding on Stan... Keep your chin up...you still ha...

barrels and barrels of wine....

I am right there with you... clinicals is very overwhelming. I have found that in time you get more comfortable...but I still do not feel nearly as comfortable as I should... The way I look at it is... we are nursing students right? It wouldn't make ...

Thanks so much everyone... puts my mind at ease a little. I guess it will come with time... thank you so much for the feedback. if anyone has any suggestions they are greatly appreciated :)

Invest in a good steth...you'll appreciate it!!! Especially to the fact that the better it is, the more your gonna hear things, and you do have checkoffs on skills and if you cant hear.....bad grade. As far as loans... they give you an extension till...

the new student orientation was pointless...much better at the nursing one. You can totally stop by and peep your head in. were going through finals though so no one is really there, were kind of all over the place or in the hospital. I'll for sure s...

Aw, no problem.. Im glad you appreciate it! Yah finals are going on right now this is my scapegoat haha. Thankfully Ill be done on Wednesday and CANT wait for the break! Yes, you'll have a med term test the second day of school... or around that tim...

An older guy that tends to yell at all the staff and refuses to eat and take his meds constantly... decided he likes me.. So when I feed him he eats his whole meal..except one thing...his ensure milkshake...when I told him hes "sooo close to finishin...

The scholarship I got wont be given again... I got really lucky. If you call your doctor, or have your immunization record that'll steer you the right way. I had to get everything because I had no documentation of any vaccines... Id start asap.. def ...

You have to look for the scholarships... your gunna have to research them.

I would start asap on immunizations, they take a while. you need your t-dap, heb/c, flushot, varicella titer/booster, TB test... start those and youll be greatful! Other than that, they give you all info at orientation...

yah just call the nursing department.. Lori is wonderful, she will lead you the right way!

CONGRATS! I'll be at orientation on behalf of the student nurses assoc. so I'll see you there! congrats, congrats! About the info sessions, I never went to one and they arent required but I the orientation is...good luck!

They def arent sending out letters yet.. They wait till the day they state they will mail them out. Its actually not a full time thing really. Right now classes are Monday 8-4. but you have skills lab so really its like 8.5:30 or 6. Tuesday you dont ...

cdg- It does take into account your english/communication/speech.. stuff like that. There are two different sections for the gpa requirements though if I remember correctly... One for your sciences and one for your general ed. If your grades in the p...
