One of the posts made me think: when it comes to sciences, do you try to understand the material or you go with pure memorization? For me, I need to understand the material, I just can't memorize things. Yes, I can actually but it is pointless since ...

I have been avoiding this forum for a few months now mainly because my life took a different course. I got into Spring 2006 nursing program and had the worst time of my life. That lasted until March the 1st when I decided to drop out. It was a very d...

And I am absolutely terrified. I have been working on this for the last year and a half. I did well, studied like mad. Now, I am about to start and I am scared out of my mind. It all seems unreal. Uniforms, clogs, books. Any words of encouragement fo...

One thing was funny today, kind of an eye opener. We watched a video, patients' testimonials about how nurses they met changed their lives/saved their lives... After we watched it, our instructor said: "Do you realize they are talking about you?" A...

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it :) Well, I survived and actually liked it a lot. We had an introduction class instead of lab today and I was happy to see a teacher whom I had a year ago, a wonderful lady :) We watched a few videos, got ...

Although I was hoping for an A, I ended up with an 89% average, a B lol Never mind, I was happy to get rid of the notes and the lab manual

My friend is from Romania, moved here 4 years ago. She just got accepted into Radiology Tech school and was required to do a TB skin test. The test came positive and she was sent to do a chest x-ray. Of course, she is torn, crying... I have been with...

See, I was told that even though I have had BCG (last one at the age of 17, 10 years ago), I will have to take medicine. I was told that USA doesn't recognize the BCG vaccine, and regardless of it, I will need treatment.

Thank you everyone :) Her chest x-ray was OK but she will be put on medicine. And, sure enough, I tested positive also. My skin test was 2cm and I did chest x-ray. They will let me know next week if everything is OK so I can start medicine, they said...

Congratulations and all the best

Me, me! :roll I am starting school 6th of January. We have 4 semesters, 2 summers off in between. We have orientation on the 18th of November and have to do CPR, background check, immunizations. We got a list of books we need and I will be looking f...

Thank you everyone :) I have been checking my mailbox 10 times a day for the last 2 weeks or so and I think the mailman thought I like him lol since I would run out to the car as soon as I saw it around the corner. Today, when he saw me jumping like ...

Macon State College, GA I am so relieved. I have been in the USA 3 years and a year and a half decided that I would be a great nurse lol. I studied, ignored the obstacles and made it :) Thank you :)

I got a 95% on my 2nd lecture exam! Woo hoo! Congrats girls on great grades, we can do it :)

Haha, now that is being bored lol :) I like the class, the teacher is pretty funny so that helps otherwise half of the class would commit suicide lol People are dropping this class like crazy, we started with 35 and there is 17 of us left.

My school will be sending the letters out starting next week. I am VERY nervous, so much I can't study for the classes I am taking now. I just want to get in and move on already! Good luck to all of us :)

I have an 85 average in this class, maybe higher, but Lord am I bored! I can't wait to finish this class. The lecture is OK although we have been doing one chapter for a month now, it is lab that I can't stand! 2 more months! :)
