    Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

    dawniepoo replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I requested mine, they said, "oh, it's been so long that someone needs to go to the basement and look for them on microfiche." Yeah, that was a great

    I cracked under pressure.

    dawniepoo replied to 9#n's topic in General Students

    I love this thread! I am in my 4th semester of nursing school. In clinicals I am always anxious. I still feel like I don't know anything! I am always most anxious about the staff nurse that I will...

    Dieting and nursing school

    dawniepoo replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    I've gained 20 pounds since the beginning of nursing school. Apparently, I'm a stress eater. Now my uniform doesn't fit. I have no choice but to diet at this

    Butterflies in my stomach!

    dawniepoo replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    I remember feeling this same way when I started. You will have plenty of these moments during school. I was nervous my first clinical, and every new clinical site I went to; I was nervous during my...

    So discouraged (young and impatient)

    dawniepoo replied to crichards00's topic in General Students

    Just complete what they tell you to complete. Getting into a good program is almost harder than nursing school itself! It will happen if you do the work on the front end and be patient. I was 38...

    dawniepoo replied to Ele123's topic in General Students

    I am a new nursing student, and about to give up... Please help

    dawniepoo replied to sraeisza's topic in General Students

    My best advice is to join a study group. Use the group to ask each other questions about applying the info that is given to you in lecture. It works very well for us. Also, our school supplied us...

    dawniepoo replied to coles's topic in Florida Nursing

    You will have a better chance if all of your pre-reqs are completed before you apply. Now, I say this, but there a some in my class who just took a nutrition class just this semester and we are in...

    dawniepoo replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    Lets look on the positive side: After completing one test, you now have an idea about what the other tests will be like. I took this same class a few semesters ago and I remember how boring it was,...

    dawniepoo replied to coles's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's so hard to tell you what my schedule is like. In the beginning there are quite a few lab days along with lecture and clinical times. It always used to irritate me when I would ask someone what...

    Actually, one of my friends who is also in the concurrent program was forced to take another nutrition class, which she is taking now. I'm not sure what the problem was with her old nutrition class,...

    dawniepoo replied to coles's topic in Florida Nursing

    No. I believe everyone was finished and unless the criteria has changed, they go by GPA, TEAS, and the date you complete your pre-reqs. I think they use the date as a tie-breaker if memory serves....

    How do I do prep work for a SIM lab that I have to go to on Monday?

    dawniepoo replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We do a SIM lab every semester and they aren't that bad. You will be surprised how much you actually know on the fly! They are not likely to use scenarios on subjects you haven't covered yet, so...
