i have talked with many nurses, each who each have theyre own thing that makes them gag...everything from feces, to vomit, to sputum... it is OK to be grossed out by certain things, that doesnt mean you shouldnt be a nurse, it just takes some getting...

you should definitely read the material.. that is obviously the most important... you can't answer practice questions if you dont know the material ..... what i found useful was reading each chapter thoroghly, then do the end of chapter questions imm...

Has anyone tried the nurse mates clogs or sneakers? I heard dansko's take a while to get used to .. and i found some nurse mates online that are pretty cheap ($60 range) which is a lot less than a pair of nikes or reeboks .. just trying to get an opi...

Hi everyone! I was hoping someone could send me in the right direction. I am looking to buy a new stethoscope for nursing school and I have been reading some of the stuff everyone has posted and it seems that Littmann is the brand I should go with,...

thanks everyone, i think im going to go with the dansko's .. everyone seems to have a positive opinion on them :)

i took ap1 and an online course... the ap monopolized the majority of my time, but i got a B in both classes... i had lecture 2 days a week and lab 1 day a week. I took ap2 with micro and that was even MORE work (that was 5 days a week), but i did...

you should definitely check which schools are relatively close to you... i personally wouldn't recommend going more than an hour away from where you live.. it will get exhausting quick. between milage, gas prices, and the extra hours to get to class...

i am not sure of any schools that will even allow you to take a&p 1 and 2 at the same time.. it could be different where you are from but no schools where i am from will allow that. ap1 is a pre-req to ap2 .. i am interested to know if that is al...

every school is different. My schedule is 3 days a week.. one day theory, one day assessment, and one day clinical ... our clinicals start 5 weeks into the program... the first 5 weeks are in the skills lab .... each section has a some what differen...

well of course, CC's are the cheapest .. thats why they are "CC's" .. when i attended gateway it cost me less than $5000 for the entire YEAR, including books, and i took 4 classes a semester!!!! BUT .. i personally believe the education is not as g...

i just finished a&p2 and micro.. got a B in both :) its not that bad, as long as your dedicated to studying and can manage your time .. and i worked (very little, about 10 hours a week.. it would have been impossible for me to do more) . It was ...

Congrats! I was just accepted into my program as well, and I can definitely relate! Are you going for RN?? We start in August, so I have some time to prepare but I am sooo excited, yet so nervous at the same time. I have been shopping for shoes, ste...

I had to retake 2 classes... for no reason other than I wasn't putting in the effort I needed to be putting in .. I got a little lazy and wasn't studying as much. The downside is that my school only allows you to retake 2 classes. So I guess I used ...

What A&P book do you have? if you have the Tortorta book it will be right in the front of the book. It has every system and all the organs in each system ... Also, if you have a bookstore like a barnes & noble or something like that in your ...

thanks guys! and I will most definitely get it engraved! I'm not going to spend all that money for someone to steal it!!

i just went today to order mine, i always thought ours were pretty cute, sort of fitted, all navy blue, with just our logo in white ... but we are getting new ones, the old ones were unisex, now we will have ladies tops that have the cross over vneck...

first of all, ANY school is expensive. that is just the way it is.. but 32,000 for pretty much the whole time your there is pretty good compared to some schools like QU that cost 30,000+ A YEAR. second, if you do not pass the math placement test the...

i am at st vincents and while math is a requirement you do not need algebra.. mat137 at gwcc is algebra, not calculus.. i would take the math during the summer if at all possible, that way they see you have it and you dont have to worry about it

I am at St.V's and I really do love it, however it is an extremely difficult school. Our classes, even our gen ed classes are no joke. there is no "homework" .. its study study study every single day. Our A&P's require more work/info than most...

I am at St.V's and from what I have heard from just about everyone (staff/students) is that pretty much no one passes the comp tests. I am sure that it is possible to pass just highly unlikely. I would try taking the test ASAP and just plan on re-t...

i made it through all of my pre-reqs using flash cards, i absolutely LOVE them :redpinkhe .. but just as the post above me says, i also heard that once you start the nursing classes flash cards aren't as useful because its less memorization and more ...

I have been at my school for 2 years, and it is a very small school, and I only have a handful of friends, some that we have exchanged phone numbers and formed study groups and others are just casual chit chat in the halls. It is important to have a...

I did some research on the MC, C III, and the SE ... so far all I can come up with is that its basically personal preference. What I have been reading is that the MC is a little clearer than the III but also more expensive, and just about every one ...

is there any that you would recommend? i would just hate to spend the money and get the wrong one ...

i just finished taking ap2 and micro this spring, it was a lot of work, but definitely do-able if you are willing to work your butt off and your nose will be permanently in your books until the semester ends!! but to take all three is going to probab...
