  1. What date do you start Nursing school?

    BellsRNBSN replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Starting my ABSN program August 23! Very excited! I have bought my stethoscope, a good sturdy backpack, my *required* Dove Apparel scrubs, white-out, sticky note pointers, sharpies, highlighters,...

  2. Over studying??

    BellsRNBSN replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    There were definitely a couple times where I felt I was over-studying in Anatomy. I fully committed myself to that class so I would do well, and I think I studied more for that class than any other...

  3. Anyone have to wear Dove Apparel?

    BellsRNBSN replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thank you so much for the advice! Looks like I'll be buying the woman's scrub top instead of another uniscrub

  4. Anatomy and Physiology distinctions.. together? separate?

    BellsRNBSN replied to pennyep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Anatomy and Physiology as separate courses and had a great experience in both classes. I can't imagine putting the two together. I like having the subject matter and way of learning the...

  5. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    BellsRNBSN replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    Your guess is as good as mine! They haven't explained much to us yet, as far as scheduling and what our classes are going to be like. We don't have orientation until the first day of school. Let me...

  6. It's near impossible to get into pre-reqs at CCs here in SoCal

    BellsRNBSN replied to pennyep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out this thread: cant get into pre-reqs? - Nursing for Nurses Same issue being

  7. Anyone have to wear Dove Apparel?

    BellsRNBSN replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thank you for your responses! stelon, Surprisingly, the unisex pants fit me fine, even though I do have fairly wide hips. Did you get the women's scrub top that ties and buttons down in the back? I...

  8. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    BellsRNBSN replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    I start August 23 as well, with: Fundamentals of Nursing Skills Lab Adult Med/Surg Theory Pathophysiology Pharmacotherapeutics Pharm Lab Adult Med/Surg Clinical for a total of 17 credits. It's going...

  9. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    BellsRNBSN replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oral Communication!!! Uggghhhh. I get SO nervous when I have to make a speech to a large group of people - especially people I don't know. I always had a knot in my stomach on the day I had to go to...

  10. Retaking classes (not necessarily because of bad grades) Good/Bad?

    BellsRNBSN replied to Jmartin20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bmacleod, I'm attending the ABSN program at Concordia University. I start next month. Yes, I knew of several ABSN programs like that as well. They are getting more and more competitive with greater...

  11. Buying Textbooks Online - CDs included?

    BellsRNBSN posted a topic in General Students

    When you buy textbooks that come with CD-ROMs from an online source (web-sites such as Amazon, Half.com, Bigwords.com, etc. etc.), are those textbooks automatically guaranteed to come with the CD that...

  12. Retaking classes (not necessarily because of bad grades) Good/Bad?

    BellsRNBSN replied to Jmartin20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it would look bad to an ABSN program that you have retaken some pre-requisites... like everyone else said, it looks like you needed to refresh those courses anyway. PLUS, admissions for...

  13. Canker Sores.. ouch!!!

    BellsRNBSN replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    I have had problems with canker sores in the past as well. They're not as bad as yours sound, but they can be quite painful. What didn't work for me: Listerine. What's odd is that it would provide me...

  14. Pre-Nursing and Pre-Requisite

    BellsRNBSN replied to asker101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe "pre-nursing" is when you're taking nursing school pre-requisites...like chemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, psychology, etc. Someone please correct me if I'm

  15. Getting the grades that get you into nursing school. Tips?

    BellsRNBSN replied to melissabriggs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NOTECARDS! I swear the reason I got A's in anatomy, physio, and micro was because of studying (constantly) with notecards. I took mine with me everywhere and studied them every time I had a free...

  16. Would this look bad?

    BellsRNBSN replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I don't think it matters as long as you get good grades. I took most of my NS pre-reqs at CCs in SoCal (the important ones too - anatomy, physio, micro, etc.) and got accepted into an ABSN...

  17. Buying Textbooks Online - CDs included?

    BellsRNBSN replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in General Students

    I asked my advisor if we need the CDs that come with the textbooks, and she said yes. Why am I not surprised? I don't want to take any chances, I know it's next to impossible to find the CDs...

  18. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    BellsRNBSN replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean! I would have felt the same way in that situation. I don't even start nursing school until next month, but I'm already itching to help out and start saving lives! I had my BLS...

  19. cant get into pre-reqs?

    BellsRNBSN replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in your same exact position for the past 2 years. I took all my pre-reqs in SoCal. I took half of them at the university where I got my bachelor's degree, but had to take the other half at...

  20. What do you think of this fall school schedule?

    BellsRNBSN replied to veroj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, definitely doable! It'll be nice to have some variety in the material you're learning. Math, A&P, and Sociology are all SO different and learned in different ways. I think problems arise...

  21. 6 weeks to go

    BellsRNBSN replied to DCoffill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I truly believe that if you REALLY want something, then nothing is impossible. DCoffill, it sounds like your heart is in the right place and CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance! Don't let the naysayers...

  22. Looking for Accelerated BSN - TEAS NOT REQUIRED

    BellsRNBSN replied to Tina LMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure how far you're willing to relocate and how much you're willing to spend on the actual nursing school program, but Concordia University in California doesn't require any entrance exams, no...

  23. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    BellsRNBSN replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I start in about a month and we just got our first list of classes and reading assignments...15 chapters to read, study, and know by the day we start! Yikes! Time to go textbook

  24. What to expect on my 1st day!?

    BellsRNBSN replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    Clinical on your first day?!?!?! And I thought MY program was accelerated! How long is your program for? Do you at least have orientation before then, or have some serious preparatory on-site...

    BellsRNBSN replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in General Students
