    Where do you all get textbooks from

    Exhaustipated replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I've buy my textbooks in custom bundles at the school bookstore since I have a scholarship through the school that takes care of them for me. Some of my classmates have bought theirs separately on...

    How many NClex questions did you practice during nursing school?

    Exhaustipated replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Our instructors told us when we started nursing school that we should aim for doing at least 50 NCLEX questions per week. Some weeks I do more, some

    Would someone mind helping with a few study guide questions?

    Exhaustipated replied to aaabbbccc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just finished my first semester of nursing school, and on at least 2 (maybe 3) of our Fundamentals exams we had SATA questions with all four choices correct. I have also heard that won't happen with...

    Where do YOU sit in class?

    Exhaustipated replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I'm a non-traditional student and I always try to sit within the first couple rows whenever possible (I specified being older because another poster said that in their program the older students sit...

    Nursing Shoes

    As one senior nursing student told our class: Everybody is different. Find what works for you and run with

    I Need a Stethoscope

    Exhaustipated replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I have the same steth, too! If you have a scrub shop near you, I highly recommend going in and trying the stethoscopes out. At one of the shops near me, I was told the MDF and the Littmann were of the...

    August 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Exhaustipated replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Budget cuts are out of control! How do they expect us to make it through shift with such tiny coffee

    Gwinnett Tech Gunning for Nursing Fall 2014

    Exhaustipated replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I start the program next week! I'm stoked. I'm nervous. I'm terrified. I'm ready to go. ;-) For us, you had to score at least a 75 on the Kaplan to even be considered. I can't remember exactly how...

    Out of town clinical sites?

    Exhaustipated replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I got to school on the edge of a large metropolitan area, and I live outside that metro area. I already drive 45 minutes just to get to school (in morning or evening traffic, closer to 30 minutes at...

    Ebooks

    Exhaustipated replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd update my position on etextbooks. Not the way I feel about them; I haven't used them again yet, so I'm still undecided. However, we had our orientation...

    didn't start school til age 50

    Exhaustipated replied to Whit'sBetterHalf's topic in General Students

    Have you already done your prerequisite courses? I ask, because I'm starting my ADN program next month, and that alone will last 4 semesters. Completing my prerequisites took me another 5 semesters. I...

    When do you start your fall class?

    Exhaustipated replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Fall semester for my school starts August 19, my first class is August 20. Our schedule is 3 days a week which includes lecture, Skills Lab, and clinicals (which start toward the end of

    What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

    Exhaustipated replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    I've used Google calendar since I started school, but I decided to supplement it for nursing school with an Uncalendar. It just arrived the other day and I'm itching to try it, but I'm trying to...

    College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    Exhaustipated replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Wide-ruled for me. My handwriting is a little to large for college-ruled -- especially when I'm writing quickly like when taking notes. When I try to use college-ruled ends up looking too

    UGH

    Exhaustipated replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally understand losing steam. For 5 straight semesters (including one summer), I went HARD -- studying all the time, letting everything fall to the wayside. I wanted the highest grades I could...

    Lab coats

    Exhaustipated replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    We also had to purchase lab coats for our program. I guess I'll find out more about why during orientation next

    Should You Commute To Nursing School?

    Exhaustipated replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the article! I'm glad I'm not alone, although your commutes were much longer than mine. I've been commuting about 45 minutes each way since starting my pre-reqs. Once I start clnicals, some...

    Another topic about shoes!

    Exhaustipated replied to rmariee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I suggest you get to your nearest scrub shop and try on the shoes they offer. I'm starting nursing school in the fall, and that's what I did. I was fascinated by the Danskos, but they didn't have all...

    I hate microbiology!!!! :-(

    Exhaustipated replied to RNinthemaking15's topic in General Students

    I didn't hate micro -- it was eh for me. I did love micro lab, though. I don't think you're doomed, though. Stick with it and those study skills you gain by studying for a course you hate are sure to...

    Using Dictation Equipment to Transcribe Class Notes

    Exhaustipated replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Lori's right; I used to use one when I was an Executive Assistant. There is an alternative, if you record your lectures digitally and use Google Chrome as a browser. There's an app on Google Chrome...

    Does anyone know of a good nursing school with an evening program in Atlanta?

    Exhaustipated replied to MAnowRNsoon's topic in General Students

    Look into Brenau University. They're a private school and outside of Atlanta, but I'm pretty sure they have a part-time evening program. As for CC, there are a bunch. Check the GA BON list and see...

    Moving to Georgia, RN programs??

    Exhaustipated replied to bnb0627's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I guess Tech schools are looked at differently in GA than in NJ, because most do offer accredited ADN/ASN programs. You can get a list of accredited programs from the Georgia Board of Nursing website....

    What date do you start?

    Exhaustipated replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    Our orientation is the first week of August, and classes start the week of August 19. I'm trying really hard to take it easy this summer because I know things are going to become crazy quickly once...

    Class of 2015

    Exhaustipated replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    This is exactly what I did. I don't know if any of my records were destroyed in Andrew because I didn't bother going back to Florida. I just went down to my local county Health Department and...

    Recipes and snack ideas for school and clinicals

    Exhaustipated replied to hunnybunches's topic in General Students

    This may not be along the lines of what you're looking for, but I thought I'd share one of my go-to main dish recipes. It's quick, it's easy, and it's tasty. Braised Pork Chops from TasteofHome.com...
