  1. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Now that's a good idea too! Our med surge book this edition was split into two paperback volumes. All the students in the book store were sighing in relief when we nursing 1 students saw it and...

  2. Hello, Looking for Anatomy and Physiology study guides/note cards?

    LCinTraining replied to WKredz5's topic in General Students

    My hugest helps were highlighting the textbook, taking notes on lecture and purchasing an anatomy/physiology coloring book with a 50 pack of colored pencils. The act of color coding was far more...

  3. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I am looking at the vital source website thanks to your input. It looks a tad confusing at the moment. Give me a second!

  4. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I'm not afraid of the work. I simply need to set myself up to be able to study at any given opportunity. Lugging twenty books with me is not going to do that. My husband is working his schedule...

    Thanks for the

  6. Not too many of "You."

    LCinTraining replied to Cali_Nurse_209's topic in General Students

    Wait, what? I know this mentality exists, but to see it so blatant makes me go cross eyed. Half of our staff is African American...or flat out African! It's amazing to work with these ladies who come...

  7. Ok this may be a rant but....

    LCinTraining replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    THIS is an excellent point. We are all in this together and there is no need to try to one up each other. I come at this as an EMT and it frustrates me knowing that with my 6 months of education...

  8. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    There is Kindle as well via Amazon. Many textbooks are available there

  9. Textbooks and ereader????

    LCinTraining replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Nook is not available to download textbooks. I just spent an hour on the phone with them last week about this. In order to view the textbooks, the files are huge and the nook devices cannot handle...

  10. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    This is excellent news! I will research this

  11. To all the students about to start nursing school...

    LCinTraining replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    My husband is great at grocery shopping so we are good there! LOL. He's reworking his schedule to help with the childcare, and my oldest is 11 so we can leave her with her brother for about an hour...

  12. Ok this may be a rant but....

    LCinTraining replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    That is not what I meant, but thanks for asking me to clarify. Let me try to re-word it. There is world wise from life experience like you said, but I'm referencing the larger vocabulary that comes...

  13. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

    LCinTraining replied to RhodyLPNstudent's topic in General Students

    Why not check the local community colleges? Some of them have excellent programs for RNs. You may have to take an extra year to finish the BSN, but it's not that big of a deal. I'm going that...

  14. To all the students about to start nursing school...

    LCinTraining replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Awe thanks! Tonight was a stress night. I have moments. I'm generally o.k. with the work load. A little concerned, but I figure, I have a bachelor's already and more science than needed for this....

  15. Number of clinical hours

    LCinTraining replied to traumanurse2b?'s topic in General Students

    I don't know. I know it's 16 weeks per semester. Two clinicals per week at 6 hours each? So 12 X 16 = 192 per semester. So about 750 by the end, but that's just face to face patient care. However,...

  16. Ok this may be a rant but....

    LCinTraining replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    Not only that, there are courses you will get specific to nursing for your BSN that you won't get with your ASN. I have an undergrad degree already. I still would need at least a year of course work...

  17. Nursing program starts Aug 27th and I'm not prepared!!!

    LCinTraining replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    I've got three kids, just lost a sitter and did my freak out session last week. Here's what I discovered. I'm not sure if this has been shared or not, but in helping you get what you need. Go through...

  18. Where to start on the nursing journey? x posted from introductions

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, my name is Susan and I am actually hopelessly addicted to the idea of becoming the worlds best lactation consultant. Ok ok well at least a really good LC. I have taken a few courses but it seems...
