  1. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    jujubees1, call the bookstore about the books. Someone might be able to give you the list of books you'll need. You'll use some books a lot more than others this semester. I didn't read every book...

  2. Recommended stethescopes/Nursing Central for UH?

    SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

    Stethoscope: A good one will be helpful for first semester, but is not required. You probably won't be able to hear subtle heart or lung sounds. However, it's not that big of a deal if you can't. They...

  3. KCC ADN FALL 2011

    SNSWTR replied to nurse_oneday's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Arii, not in either. Going to UHM. Either school is a great choice, but I think KCC is stronger on the

  4. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible to work while going to school; but if you have kids, you probably won't see them. Several students work during the weekends. Some even work weekdays, too. I think if your job is at a...

  5. KCC ADN FALL 2011

    SNSWTR replied to nurse_oneday's topic in General Nursing

    I read the NLN study guide. It covered the test material well. I think one of the tricks is to not underanticipate the physics and circuitry stuff. I don't know if it was my version of the test, but...

  6. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    [Hi, going2BaNurse2014. I think I know who you might be, and you probably know who I am. Nice to see you here!] Yes, I don't think you can go wrong with the profs for the first semester. They all...

  7. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    For those who need to get their titers, if you go to DLS and pay cash up front, I think they'll give you a 50% discount. I had insurance, but wasn't sure it would cover the test, so I paid cash up...

  8. KCC or UHManoa application

    SNSWTR replied to cha12m's topic in General Nursing

    I know of two students who got into KCC's program with ~120 NLN scores. They were both alt listed and eventually accepted. One had a 4.0 and the other had a 3.8. Both had nurse aide training. On the...

  9. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    And for those who are didn't get in to KCC or are alt listed, it is possible to not get accepted at KCC but accepted at UHM. I know of several students who applied to both but were only accepted at...

  10. Spring 2012 UH Manoa BSN Applicants

    SNSWTR replied to NeekoDango's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations to those who got in. Be prepared to work hard. There's down time and time for work or fun, but exams and paper due dates have a tendency to bunch up. Just as you're breathing a sigh of...

  11. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    SNSWTR replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    A winning lottery ticket should also be on our

  12. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    SNSWTR replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I hear you on that one. School starts on Monday and we just had to replace four tires. It was an unanticipated event. After recently spending a ton of money on books, supplies, and tuition, we did NOT...

  13. Hawaii has low unemployment so why are RN jobs tough to get?

    SNSWTR replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a very soon to be nursing student with no connections to a hospital, hospital administration, or nursing organization, so I can't offer an insiders perspective of Hawaii's nursing situation;...

  14. Streamlining care plan writing

    SNSWTR posted a topic in General Students

    I've been going over some of the many care plan threads and have found a lot of great information about how to do one. However, I am wondering if anyone has any tips for streamlining the writing...

  15. Streamlining care plan writing

    SNSWTR replied to SNSWTR's topic in General Students

    Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. It was interesting to see the variation in length of care plans required by different schools. If one hates care plan writing, looks like inthere's...

  16. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    SNSWTR replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd like to retract this statement. The hole-punches shifted right after I narrowed the print margins to ensure everything on the cards would print (which was odd). The OP did a great job. No need for...

  17. Pharm ATI...HELP!!

    SNSWTR replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Students

    There are some really helpful flashcards here:

  18. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    SNSWTR replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for generously sharing your work! Done with pharmacology (thank goodness), but they'll come in handy for a pharm review, which I've been wanting to do. They look great, but some cards have...

  19. Fall 2011 students, what do you have so far?

    SNSWTR replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    tag2007, just a suggestion: to be safe, try flesh colored underwear instead of white. White under white might stand out...like on the person I saw at the grocery store a few days ago. Also, beware...

  20. need help on the nln exam

    SNSWTR replied to servealoha's topic in General Nursing

    The NLN review guide you have is probably the best one out there. It provides a succinct summary of what you need to know. I took the exam prior to retaking the majority of my science courses, but the...

  21. UHM Nursing School Spring 2012

    SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm excited for you, as well. I think you'll do fine and you look like a strong candidate. I don't think you'll have to stress so much about getting in. Good luck! As far as my job situation goes, I...

  22. UHM Nursing School Spring 2012

    SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a brand-spanking new nursing student who will be entering the school this Fall, so I don't have any personal insight into the weight of the course load. However, there is another thread with info...

  23. UHM Nursing do classes expire?

    SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

    You can forget about retaking the extra class (unless you want a refresher), because the prereq credits don't expire at UHM. Although I retook several science classes in order to apply for KCC, my UHM...

  24. UHM Nursing School Spring 2012

    SNSWTR replied to jujubees1's topic in General Nursing

    Your stats look good to me... I have no idea how to calculate my stats, but I did apply with at least one C. I retook my sciences at the community college level and got As, so I don't know how that...

  25. Working while attending UHM nursing school

    SNSWTR posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be entering the UHM nursing program in the Fall and am curious about the amount of time that current UHM students are putting into school. Is it difficult to balance the study load and a...
