Hello Everyone: I start the ADN evening/weekend program in August. What should I start reading before August 23rd?

It was really simple, the procedure is your vital sign check off sheet. As long as you know the steps, you should fine. Don't forget to know the questions. You get three chances to obtain the correct blood pressure and you can be within 4 mm. Good...

How about you???

Class is going good so far.. Passed the vital signs check off... so I'm pretty excited about that...

My syllabus said nothing about being removed from the program. Mercy is a very helpful school, if you need help its available.

You do have to get a 90% on the math test in your second nursing course. If get two attempts to pass it, if you don't you receive a "F" for that course and have to re-take it. IMHO, I wouldn't want a nurse who can't get a 90% on a test that is begi...

Same here... I'm 25 and I feel like I've been in school forever... Maybe we can meet up and actually meet in person...

That sucks.. Are you in ADN or BSN???

Hi sreed1966: I feel the same exact way. I'm in the ADN/evening and weekends and I am totally streesed out. I'm practicing vitals every night that I go home. I haven't looked at the med term, not that worried about it because I had it at Wayne Cou...

I applied around December / January and was notified February early March. I'm from Michigan and I had majority of the required classes finished, such as A&P 1 & 2, Patho, Med Term, Medical Math, etc... So I'm in the program with only nursin...

We have to purchase our nursing uniforms from Meridy's uniforms. I was wonder if anyone had to purchase their unifroms from Meridy's and how do the scrub pants run? I'm a size 30 / 9 , so what size should I get? Thanks for you help, 16 days till I...

Hi Ashleyisawesome: I'm the same height as you. I was thinking about getting a small in the pants as well, so it looks like I'll go try some a few pair, to see what really works for me... Thanks

Thanks Crazierthanyou!!! cute screenname... :-)

hello all.... okay, can you tell me if this is normal.... i only have two classes this semester, intro to nursing and a sociology class. i browsed the schools bookstore website and books alone for my nursing course will run $700.:crying2: i noticed t...

In my opinon MsAshley, you should stick with Mercy College. You know that program is legit and you will get the best education as well they offer the evenings and weekends program. The last I heard from a toledo resident who was at my orientation a...

I had to memorize bloodflow of the heart in A&P II. The only thing I did was review the diagram everyday for about a 1/2 hour to an hour till it was time for the test. It helps me to review something continuously.

It's insprining to now that more African Americans are following a career as a CRNA. Becoming a CRNA has always been my goal when I started my nursing journey 1 & 1/2 years ago. I start Nursing School in the fall and am overly excited. I'm sta...

If you guys are really interested in a nursing program that doesn't have a wait list, you may have to travel south to Toledo.. They have an outstanding nursing program at Mercy College of Northwest Ohio, no waitlist, however it is really competitive....

Guess I'll bump the Mercy College thread!!!

Hey there!!! I can't believe June is almost over, and before we know it August 23 will be here. Am I the only one who is extremely excited:yeah:???? We all have Nursing Oreintation in August, so can we all post any thoughts, questions or concerns ...

Well tmh25 it looks like we are the only two who are extremely excited to start Nursing School... Sidenote, I think we are going to receive a good education from Mercy, and I betcha we will be well prepared to enter the workforce... Again, congrats...

hi everyone: this question may have been asked before... what should first year nursing students brush up on before the first semester? thanks, martina

Thanks to you all for your great suggestions and tips!!!!!

Congrats!!!! I hope to be in your shoes VERY SOON!!!!

Are the ADN uniforms and BSN uniforms are different? If so, isn't that unusual? I guess it doesn't matter... Peytonsmom: When you met with the advisor for the first time, what did you all discuss? Thanks, Waitingtill2010 aka Ready2baNurse23 :-)
