Good Luck Nurselovejoy, I know you passed. I just felt the same way about my patho final, and Thank God I passed it, now off to med-surge next week :)!

Also another thing that I have learned in passing, is that it is not a good idea to share your work such as care plans, research papers, etc with other students unless you can honestly say you trust them and have formed some sort of bond with them. T...

Yes, that has recently helped me. I was experiencing a similar situation the first three quarters of school. As I begin to notice what the students where doing and continuously called me with stupid questions that they should have known the answer to...

Yes, I completely understand how you feel. My school also has a lab similar to that of your school. At first I felt foolish walking in and introducing myself to a mannequin, but as the time goes on you will get more comfortable with it because techni...

If I could give this 10 kudos I would. I am glad I stumbled across this thread now, as I will be starting my first clinical in a few weeks, and I must say that I am very excited. I am not going to attempt to defend anyone on either side because I can...

Just curious to know if there are any established or if anyone would be interested in a NS (nursing student) "meet up". I am looking for like minded individuals as it is hard to find people who understand what I am currently going through. There is ...

Nursing school is all about what you make it. If you are a hard worker, dedicated, and remain focused on your goal throughout, you will do fine. As others have stated it can be time consuming if you have other obligations, but with good time manageme...

I have had instructors provide study guides in the past that I found to be very helpful. The guides provided particular areas the students should pay special attention to in addition to the others. One instructor had told us to study the information...

I am in a BSN program and we have to take Fundamentals before Pharmacology. Most folks at my school take med-surg with pharmacology.

If you go to the Nursing Student Assistance section you mostly like will be able to find some great information that will assists and guide you in the right direction with your case study.

That is always the best idea. I had to complete my first care plan which is 30% of our final grade. I did what I thought the instructor wanted without any previous experience; submitted it 2 weeks before it was due. She provided great feedback. I mad...

For me I cannot study at home because of the same reasons you have shared. I also cannot study in a library because I find it be a very boring atmosphere. What I have found helpful to me is studying at a local bookstore's coffee shop. I take my lapto...

I agree with most of the previous posters, However, you are not obligated to assist her in anyway, and therefore do not OWE her or anyone else any explanations of why you have chosen to terminate your presence with the group and/or stop providing her...

My final exam is in two weeks. I just finished studying 8 chapters with 17 more to go Is anyone out there sailing on the same ship.

Go ahead and toot that horn you deserve it, WTG!

It's crunch time now. Final exam on Tuesday a whooping 100 question exam. Good Luck to everyone you have upcomi ng exams. To those of you who had their exams last week, I know you all did well. The rest of us will join you all at the dock here short...

"The only bad mistake is the one you didn't learn from"

I am stuck deciding between the two. I was wondering if any of you guys own one, if so, can you please share your experience with it, and what helped you decide one over the other if you had the option. BTW I do like them both. I have read up on all ...

Thank You all for responding. I went to look at the nook and kindle today side by side. I still have made my decision, but am leaning toward the Kindle. The nook looks good and have some nice features, however, it seems as if it would not be friendly...

Sounds like the right diagnosis to me as well based on the informative you provided. But I too am just finishing up my first semester, so like the previous poster said "what do I know".

Let Your Efforts Outweigh Your Excuses!

Here are I couple of quotes that I find myself using day in and day out: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) "I've lear...

I agree with the previous poster. You will probably get the number of responses you need faster if you post this in the general forum. I don't think pre-nursing students or current ASN or BSN students can answer some of the questions. If so, they sh...

This is absolutely true and could not have been stated any better. I continuously was told by other students that intro to nursing and fundamentals were very difficult,this instructor is this, another one is that, etc. However, I passed intro with f...

I was thinking the same thing after reading MunoRN's post. When I first entered fundamentals, I heard the instructor use the term "client" and said to myself "what, this is not social work or the mental health area, although there is a mental health ...
