I am a student currently taking pre-nursing courses. I just read in my Physiology book about vaccines and autoimmune diseases such as MS. Further reading revealed that there is a concern that vaccinations such as Hepatitis B could lead to MS. What do...

I took fundamentals of chemistry and got an A. I have only had introduction to Algebra. My question, is this enough math to be successful in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry?

The teacher show us how to make an open bed yesterday one time and tested us today. She showed us how to make a surgical bed today and also tested us today. I failed the test so two years of straight As for nothing. I am being retested Wednesday....

I am a nursing student who recently failed and was thrown out of the nursing program. This was due to a recent medical diagnoses I received that prevented me from studying. I have now found myself in search of a new career. I received a job offer...

I don't think I'm too old, just too old to want to go through 2 years of prereqs followed by the long waiting list, then two years of nursing school. I want to start working. It we didn't have the wait list, I'd probably try it again. As it stands...

I wanted to pursue nursing in another school but I'm 49. By the time my condition is resolved and I have to take all those prereqs again, it will be too late. Thanks for the information. I suspected it was a rip-off but I've got people telling me...

thanks for the kind words of encouragement. One of the things I will miss about nursing school is this forum. It really helped.

I finally left the nursing program after numerous stress related illnesses which finally ended with a serious eye disorder. Just needed to vent, because in spite of the fact that I wanted to leave, I miss the people and the program alot. Good luc...

I am trying to find a way to study without spending six hours a day every day. Here is the problem. I use to have an A average. Of course that meant studying every minute of the day. Finally I started to suffer from stress related illnesses and l...

We have at least 15 videos to view in this 7 week semester. We have to do it in our own time. I was wondering if this is true in your school as well? I am in my second semester first year.

Our videos are 30 minutes each. Some longer. How long are your videos?

Our class meets for 10 weeks. two hours per week. It is actually broken down into pharm 1 and 2. each of the classes last five weeks. How is it at your school?

thanks all for the info

I have a digital recorder. Olympus DM-20. It has over 40 hours of recording time and can be downloaded to your computer.

I use only DA. I did have problems when I got to the IV problems mentioned by another poster. I am planning to learn the ratio method because of this.

I am desperately trying to pass pharmacy. My problem. It is just too boring. I got an 85 on the first test and 65 on the second test. I have the final in a week and it's just not sinking in. There seems to be at least 5 things to remember in ea...

Depends on the spouse. If I felt that I could trust him, I would not have a problem.

I like the teacher. Hate the subject. so many details and not sure what I should focus on.

I have seen my health decline since I started in the nursing program. Mostly BP problems that I have nerver had. An eye twitch problem that came and went. Now something that may be more serious. Understand I have always enjoyed perfect health. S...

I recentlly spent the day in ER (my DH had a car accident). I was in shock when he called and told me what happened and that he was on his way to the ER. I remembered thinking, he's Ok, I better take my books with me. I arrived in ER with my book ...

I am. The teachers are great, but we don't have supplies and can't get into the lab to practice so we are practicing on patients which I don't like. The teachers have been great and complained to the dean many times. Still, nothing has been done.

Our school is worse. You can only miss one day of clinical. In addition, you can only repeat one class a year. So if you fail two, you're out of the program. Even if you repeated the class it would take almost a year to get back in and then only ...

The question becomes. Can a person become a nurse without first becomeing a patient? Well, I can certainly say that I can relate to my patients better.

Wow. It is amazing. I guess I'm not alone. I think this may be my last semester. I may take a break and really rethink my career choice. Walmart is starting to look better and I have met so many ex-nurses that I'm starting to think that this car...

Thanks for the help everyone.
