  1. Yes! Maybe it won't be so bad..

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    For me (& some classmates) the "critical thinking" is the easiest part. If you normally do well at reasoning and standardized tests you'll do fine. This was the thing that most students had the...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

  8. Tired of never feeling good about nursing school!

    BelleNscrubs04 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm an intelligent person, pretty good student, and good with time-management, so I just don't understand why nursing school has to be so unrelentlessly difficult. I'm so tired of nursing school...

    BelleNscrubs04 posted a topic in General Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in General Students

  13. Visual OB Study Aides.

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to khampl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would try the "incredibly easy" maternal child book. They are usually helpful, have lots of cute, memorable pictures and you can probably buy a used copy on amazon for just a few dollars if your...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to MattyIrie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Grntea pretty much said it. I'm using the "made incredibly easy" books before lectures. I read the material that corresponds to what the lecture is going to be on. It takes less time than our very...

  15. How do you balance the demands of nursing school and life

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to rntobe1105's topic in General Students

    I don't really have any advice. Like you, I'm interested in hearing from others about how they manage to balance it all. I'm finishing my first semester and I'm exhausted and already in burn out mode...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Everyone's pointed out how you can take cold but I just wanted to mention the other side of things. I Like to pack leftovers often. You can buy thermos type containers that keep things hot for 5 hours...

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to christianchik97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BelleNscrubs04 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    Wow! That's a lot to adjust to. The idea of two schools partnering is intriguing but in this case doesn't seem to be coordinated very well. 4 hours spent in the car seems unreasonable too, especially...
