  2. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    tkm2005 replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I agree, take with you what you need for that day only, there is no sense in carrying around every single book every single day. Your clinical stuff you can put in a seperate smaller bag and won't...

  4. What is your advice to new students?

    tkm2005 replied to CASM's topic in General Students

    I agree, keep on top of every thing! I'm beginning my second semester as well. I make a "to do" sheet every day with the tasks I must accomplish that day. It helps to keep me organized. By the end...

  5. going back to nursing school in 2 weeks is like going into the dreaded pit of ****

    tkm2005 replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    You need to take it one day at a time. Don't focus on a week, two weeks, a month from now. Focus on what you need to get done on the particular day you are living in. After you accomplish all of...

  6. Rolling bookbags for nursing students

    tkm2005 replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    I don't use one. You won't be taking every one of your text books every single day. I hate when people bring them in and roll over my toes with them, plus for people to get them inbetween the rows...

  7. Rolling backpack?

    tkm2005 replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    Honestly you probably aren't going to need one of those ridicilous rolling backpacks! You don't have to carry all of your books at once, during lecture you will probably be focused on PowerPoints...

  14. How do I prepare myself for nursing school?

    tkm2005 replied to tatempole's topic in General Students

    You should sleep, visit with your family, clean your house from top to bottom, and do whatever you want because while you are in nursing school, you will be doing VERY LITTLE of those

  15. Thinking about quitting nursing school. Need advice.

    tkm2005 replied to florisgurl22's topic in General Students

    Tough it out, anywhere you go there are going to be things you dislike about the program. Almost all programs are inconsistent because nursing is evidence based and our information changes EVERY...

  17. Starting school and need to stay focused

    tkm2005 replied to nevergiveuprn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I was your daughter I wouldn't do anything either if you paid for my cellphone, car, and gas. I know it's tough to tell her "no" but it has to be done. Cut off her cell phone & quit giving...

  18. Nursing School-- Your biggest challenge ?

    tkm2005 replied to Ambitious-Girl's topic in General Students

    All that studying was really bogging down my brain. So now, to help with that, I take one hour every single day to do whatever I want that has nothing to do with nursing! It's very

  20. How do you study?

    tkm2005 replied to kryder321's topic in General Students

  22. Is 50+ pages of reading a week "normal?"

    tkm2005 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I would LOVE to have only 50 pages to read! I'm currently on a reading break right now because quite frankly I couldn't take it anymore! I've been reading since after class at 11 a.m., so I'm...

    tkm2005 replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
