Hi, I need your advice. I am a nursing student with a 3.8 G.P.A with 115 credit hours. Yes I have taken Pharm, Ap1 and Ap2, Advanced physiology , micro, Algebra 4, Physics, Patho etc etc. My nursing G.P.A is just a 3.0. My overall is based upon the ...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was told they have afternoon clinicals and it would be no problem and would be placed in there. In fact, they had none. Reason why I went to the school. There are nursing schools way closer to me so I drive 2-3x the dista...

My take: I am a nursing student. I also have health issues. I lost 3/4 of an organ.....sucks lol and have sleep issues and not under stress sleep issues, even when not in class, or in school.....on breaks I have sleep issues everyday. Being up early...

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't being childish I think you need to read this in its entirety. I was not asking them to fix their program around 1 student, that wouldn't make sense. What I did do, is called and asked the Director of Nursing if they ha...

Really? My situation...Only 2 classes from going into P.A school, only 2 classes from Pharmacy school, and only 2 classes away from Direct entry into Occupational Therapy, My undergrad is like a pre-everything. However, I went nursing because I only ...

Hi, I was asking where do people get outlines ( usually condensed, gets rid of fluff ) for Fundamentals of Nursing? I see people talking about it on youtube, but when I do a search, hard to find. Some say they used ,"Knowledge check outlines." I ca...

@Apmarquez, we use perry and potter, but they are linked to elsevier, like the EAQ etc. Where did you find the chapter summaries? Did you use resources for the fundamentals, we use 9th edition? I tried resources but just found questions and rationale...

Hi, Thanks for reply. Yeah our power points will be like Theories=framework for practices then underneath that, just say Orem's thoery( However, with no definition etc ). One slide just says Caregiver, comforter, cummunicator, educator, and manage...

Hi, SO I battled between going into OT( occupational Therapy ) and getting an A.D.N and then Nurse practitioner. I decided Nursing. I didn't have the chance to shadow an N.P. However, I got to shadow an OT. That being said, I got accepted into nurs...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. They are a somewhat religious catholic school( don't know if they slam it down into someone, but religious ) tied into a hospital. They are accredited. Their NCLEX pass rate one year was 98% and last year was 100%. All the...

How did everyone do at Mercy? I was told the attrition rate is really really high.

How much time a day did you study?

Hi, I got accepted into nursing school. My questions directly are below. However, I was debating between OT( Occupational Therapy ) and Nursing to become a Nurse Practitioner. It was very hard to be able to get a chance to shadow an N.P( literally ...

A question. What was your schools grading scale? Example, 90-100% A, 80-90% B etc. Also what was considered failure, most schools it is at 75%, some are 80%. Just curious.

You said your class started out with 90, then had 45 , then it became 17. Why such a fail/drop rate? That is only about 19% retention overall. Wonder why.

I am a student. However, I always remembered a quote. " The Pen is mightier than the sword." Example, you get pulled over by a cop....do you fear his gun, or what he writes? Most file a report after the facts. Also, it's their report. Can it be Bias?...

Hi, As via the title, should you take pathophys online or in person? I am in a dilemma, because I like to learn( but good G.P.A is great too! ). I have to take Patho and the class on campus is taught from 9 A.M-12 P.M once a week. Problem? I sleep...

Why is this moved to pre-nursing when the question asks about Patho( which most take while in Nursing ), plus the question is asking do nurses use this everyday and their experiences?

My Opinion was kind of the sediment this person above said^^^^ I see Nursing students over think things to much. Again, I am not a nurse, but it seems a lot lose logic from what they learned. Not bc their stupid, or anything of the like....it's becau...

I might be off kilter here. I am not a nurse. However, I am someone who in class, asks a ton of questions. I like to learn. Example, if I see someone with an internal rotation of head of humerus....and they are complaining of shoulder pain. It could ...

Thanks for the replies, My sleep I was afraid would not let me get up good enough to take Patho at 9 A.M. I went online. I was 6 days behind, crammed for 5 hours straight, got all A's in the first week. I relied heavily upon my Previous Microbiology ...

Hi, Let me briefly introduce and move on topic. Trust me, my writing comes together at the end. I am an aspiring Nurse Practitioner. In order to become a Nurse Practitioner, or N.P, you have to become ...( insert drum roll )..a Nurse. In my case a ...

Thanks for the reply. My sleep, I have tried zero hours one day and then, It's still 3 A.M the next. I have also tried a little each week to set it back slowly, most fail. It's delayed onset sleep. You read it right, I can go to bed and sleep good, j...

Hi, I am an aspiring N.P.....but deciding between Nursing or Occupational Therapist. I also might add, did the OP go to Online N.P program. That was my thought for the N.P route. 2 Years in Nursing, then grad NP online. Also, what's youropinion on ...

So, I know this post has had years of comments. How is everyone doing? I am contemplating between Nursing or Occupational Therapist. I personally have had mixed reviews. I talked to someone in a Nursing program, and one said I would be bored with Nu...
