  1. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    We had an assignment due the first day of school (we were told in lab orientation). I did not have the money for the books until a couple days before and then I was working. Little did I realize the...

  2. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Now that I have survived week one, it's starting to look a little more manageable. I'm thinking it was all the preliminary stuff we had to do. Still a lot, but not something I go cross eyed and...

  3. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    It was not a gross exaggeration. I wish it was. It was an assignment based out of two texts that added up to 450 pages. The next night was 3 texts that added to a little over 400 pages. We utilize...

  4. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    LCinTraining replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am in PA. I did not get this information from an official source as I'm still trying to get my RN. It went on my radar as I want to eventually get to practitioner level, though. Like I said, I hope...

  5. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    It's not the entire text. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It may not say required reading but there are chapters assigned to each lecture some of which are 250 pages long. There are at least two...

  6. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I'd rather keep local anonymous, if you don't mind. But I'm hoping this is all just start of school stuff and that it slows down as we go. Someone who did the same program that it does lighten up a...

  7. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    LCinTraining replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It is my understanding(and I hope I am wrong) that our state health dept is changing things and that by 2015 if you are not already practicing as a NP it will require a PhD or other doctoral degree to...

  8. Clinical Schedules

    LCinTraining replied to AnkleBitten's topic in General Students

    Every school is different. We were told lecture was over at 11:00 MWF. And that clinical days expect to be on site or in the lab for 6-7 hours. I did not realize that some of the homework required...

  9. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    We are quizzed on ATI questions then have to present our results. We have to get 75% or higher and it's pass or fail at that point. So far ATI looks like its just for lab and other things are for...

  10. Need to figure out new strategy

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    It seems like it and then they ask "do you remember reading....in your text last night". I piped up and said, " at 450 pages, I'm bound to forget a thing or two". It was small group instruction and...

  11. Just got accepted to nursing program today

    LCinTraining replied to parde17's topic in General Students

    Congratulations and good luck with

  12. Let's Do this thing

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    Classes start tomorrow. Barring not being able to find the syllabus for the lab (it wasn't in the packet we had to buy) and as a result not being able to figure out what is due for the first lab on...

  13. Overwhelmed

    LCinTraining replied to Oraelo's topic in General Students

    21 books here and 450 pages of those books due the first day of lab which we didn't find out until the day before. I feel your

  14. Let's Do this thing

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Ok I was wrong. It was 450 pages last nighT and three quizzes. Another 200 for lecture, plus a video and another at least 200 for clinical and three more quizzes. This 400 pages looks like a...

  15. Should nurses wear white?

    LCinTraining replied to lynn estes's topic in General Students

    White would spell a disaster when my monthly hit. No whites for me. The darker the

  16. First day of Nursing School..

    LCinTraining replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Let the OP be excited. It's a lot of work getting here and even more staying here. The first day can set the tone for the year and I am glad it went well. I'm jealous of being able to record as we...

  17. REALLY need help: How do I stay awake during class?

    LCinTraining replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    We are not allowed to record because of examples and HIPAA but I doodle. I scribble and draw until I hear something that is worthy of note taking and write it down. I take very detailed notes so it...

  18. Let's Do this thing

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Finally home. I have 145 pages and quizzes due on those pages for tomorrow. I'm a little overwhelmed as I just realized something. I'm a pretty fast reader, but I have never skimmed anything in my...

  19. Let's Do this thing

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Nursing process is our first unit. It's a program so there are no distinct classes. Just different units of focus. I'm told by multiple sources it's the best nursing program around so I'm good with...

  20. When patients hit close to home

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Nursing

    I walked into a patient room last week to help a coworker with a transfer. We situated the patient, I stood up as he said "Thank you" and I saw it. My father in law was looking right back at me....

  21. When patients hit close to home

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Nursing

    Well, all these post made me cry. Hard. I don't cry and dang it, this man has caused me more tears than a lake! It was cathartic to let some of it out. I'm just odd in that it took me days to fully...

  22. Amazing Classmates

    LCinTraining replied to runforfun's topic in General Students

    That is fantastic that they all pitched in to help. Bake them some brownies to say thank you or something. Hope your test went

  23. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    Med surg. I could have gotten last years edition MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper. I think I even stumbled on it once in e-format, but I couldn't find it again, so that determined my decision. Talk, almost a...

  24. Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    LCinTraining replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Many colleges do not have a pre-med program. However, biology does cover most, if not all pre-requisites for medical school. Most do not require A/P as they wish to teach it themselves in their...

  25. Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    LCinTraining replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why are you in a nursing forum if you are pre-med? Go to oldpremeds.com or .org I forget which. There is also another forum devoted to traditional pre-med students as well. For starts, you are...
