So I found out that next July/August we are moving to Lexington, Ky (WHICH IS AWESOME!) and IF I get accepted to the local nursing program I was hoping to transfer those credits to a school down there. (Im in south eastern Ohio) I looked at UK and B...

I start my BSN classes tomorrow (I'm currently an RN.) I will be finishing these classes next May and I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my life. I want to help people, that's my goal in life. I want to make a difference in the lives of othe...

I did work as a nurse. I was in an ICU fellowship for 4 months and decided to quit before I had to sign a contract. I loved the patients, I loved the work but I didn't get along with most of the employees and the management was a joke. I would love t...

So i'm a new grad RN, just graduated the first week of May. For my final clinical (as there were to many students to find preceptors for, we had relatively small clinical groups with 5-6 students in each group) I was in the ICU, for 14 weeks I set al...

I definitely have to go with my own name on this one.... Corella. It's actually a really unique combination of both of my grandmother's names; my maternal grandmother Cora and my paternal grandmother Ronella, my father put the the 2 together to come...

I HAVE To take the HESI A2 on March 14th to even be considered for the nursing program at my choice school. (every other school I want to go to requires the ACT, i've been out of school for 5 years, i'm NOT going back to take the ACT!) This school r...

It really depends on your study techniques that you've learned throughout school, how your nursing instructors are, how much material is between each test...etc...Every school is SO different when it comes to everything that laying down a specific wa...

Here's some thing I've learned in the past 2 years (I graduate in 58 days!!) *Learn some relaxation techniques and how to destress. Nursing school is EXTREMELY stressful, and at times you will want to quit, you will break down in tears at least a fe...

I take my Netbook to class every day as well, its easier then printing out the power points before class (sometimes they don't even post the powerpoints until the morning of the class) that way i can make my notes on the power points and just print t...

Started 3 weeks ago! Were in week 4 already! (were in quarters though so we only have another 6 weeks to go then finals!!) Already 2 tests down (Aced both of them!) just had round one of check offs (passed both and feeling pretty amazing!!, it was F...

Our first qtr. ended in Dec. 11...we lost 20 people out of 90, and gained 5 back this qtr. from who flunked out last year....plus at least another 5 or so people have quit in the first 3 weeks of the 2nd qtr....its crazy!!!

First off its crazy how schools differ in check offs...our head to toe assessment was the first thing we did first quarter (along with vital signs, Positioning, and Bed Baths) now (2nd qtr.) wet/dry dressing changes and foley cath's and med admin. a...

In med surg, I have to memorize lab values (i.e. BMP, CBC, Lipid Panel, etc) and i'm having a hard time memorizing each of them, especially when the values are so similar. My biggest problem right now is the differences in the BMP, Sodium, Phosphoru...

For my second quarter of nursing school I have both Pharmacology and Med-surg... These are the books we are using for both classes from amazon: Pharmacology and the Nursing Process: Lilley, Collins, Harrington, Snyder Medical-Surgical Nursing: Patien...

It depends on your school, how they do their classes, if your in semesters/quarters, when you start clinicals...etc... Every person is going to be different, every school is definitely going to be different and so you will get a ton of different resp...

I just have to post this! I really didn't think it was going to happen, I worked my butt off with only one day off every week, between school and work i just didn't think i could do it...but I did! I still have a while to go but I'm feeling amazing! ...

I know 2 people that were kicked out just recently...one was justified, she didn't do any of her nurse squared work (a HUGE part of clinicals and was required) and she walked off the floor at clinicals without telling anyone...another big nono... the...

I feel you OP all i have left is finals, and i've done relatively good up until now, i did great in clinicals and everything too, but one bad test grade has brought my score down significantly basically on my final in my health assessment class i can...

I already had my first breakdown 5 weeks into the program...like a full meltdown...wanting to give up and all.... My teachers are awesome though and they give us pep talks all the time...and it makes things so much nicer....heres one thing I will kee...
