  9. What was your first year of nursing school like?

    ^^^ I agree. The material isn't hard its just that nursing school demands so much of ur time. U have to learn time management, itll kill u if u dont. They also ask the "nclex style questions" that for the most part can be memorized or studied for, j...

    Ill give you a free pass... If you have low sodium blood levels, how is homeostasis maintained? Osmosis and diffusion? Homeostasis is maintained by water and solute movement, therefore by osmosis and diffusion, respectfully...this is the simple, shor...

    Uh yea pessimistic. Read over what you wrote if you have a question about why I said that. In NO WAY does that mean I dont wanna hear what you have to say, or that I want to hear "fluff" from you, now thats putting words in my mouth. I appreciate all...
  13. Prairie View Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    :) you are being very helpful, if kinda pessimistic. People actually get the test bank from ebay though OMG, that scares me. I dont ever wanna get that desperate to pass a test. Also I forgot to add im finishing up semester 1 so im sharing my semest...

    "First the teachers are very unprofessional. They talk to you like you are an idiot and are late for almost every class (somewhat correct, depends on the teacher). Nothing starts on time and they are horribly unorganized (the teachers or the school, ...
  15. Hello? Is there anyone in my situation?

    I suggest attending nursing school on a part time basis. Like 9 hrs a semester.
  16. Prairie View Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Depends. TWU is harder and many more people fail out of that program. However, you do graduate faster. I really dont know about their reputation, all i can say is that I chose pv because our nursing program is great, the nclex pass rate is high, and ...
  17. First Semester Students, How's it going so far?

    Im doing well in all my classes. I may scrape by with 3 As and 1 B if all goes well. Im worried/not worried bout my health assessment check offs. I dont think itll be too difficult but i may be underestimating it

    Lets see..well the clinical uniform that you have to buy is 7$ for the patch, 30$ for the lab coat, $30 for the pants and I believe $40 for the shirt, all at the college of nursing book store. The only place that i saw the the pants and shirt at was ...

    O they told us a couple days ago they have no information about summer school yet, but once they know they will inform us. Because the goverment is cutting alot of funding and releasing funding later than usual this year, they are really unsure whats...
  21. PVAMU or HBU's Nursing Program

    lol. I was in your same position, but i ended up choosing PV, mostly because i got awarded a better scholarship. Also, I heard HBUs nursing program was going through alotta problems since like 6 proffessors left and the dean of the college of nursing...
  22. Prairie View Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    I believe so, thats what some people did who were addmitted fall '10. Check with the counselor though because she obviously will be more informed than me. I heard most of this by word of mouth.
  23. Prairie View Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    yes you can. You can take 2 electives/, or one elective and either patho, basics or health assessment/ or 1 class...well, i know patho is usually available in the summer. Im assuming its the same for the other two courses. A counselor at the college ...
