  1. HELP!!!! (First Semester Nursing School)

    szeles23 replied to Shandra2008's topic in General Students

    start doing the nclex questions at the end of each chapter in your fundamentals book. That will help with the critical thinking prep. Those tend to help. Don't read every single thing, unless your...

    szeles23 replied to Dre2416's topic in General Students

    We started with a class of 56 and are now at 55. Yes we lost 1 at about the week and a half mark, and its the first semester. She had something come up I guess. We did ask students from the semesters...

  3. Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

    szeles23 replied to Rachey467's topic in General Students

    I have heard from the faculty in my program that the formal nursing diagnosis is something they are moving away from. They say it doesn't really make much sense, that in the real world you use the...

  5. Is it all going to DNP?

    szeles23 replied to AppalachianRNstudent's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That's what my school says, that the ANA is trying to ensure that all NP programs are DNP programs by 2015. My school has its first DNP program starting in the spring I think, maybe its fall, but I'm...

    szeles23 replied to jellyishh's topic in General Nursing

    szeles23 replied to rayne215's topic in General Students

    I took my pre-reqs back in 2009 and 2010 so it has been more than a year. I don't remember everything but I do remember many of the anatomical names and locations, especially bones and organ parts...

  9. Nursing Specialties leading to Nursing Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    szeles23 replied to SeanLN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing assistants will not replace Physician's assistants, at least not here in the US. A phys. asst. (PA) functions like a Nurse practitioner here. Nurse assistants are usually nurses aide's (CNA's)...

  10. Just getting started, a little intimidated

    szeles23 replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    szeles23 replied to Sweetaprils's topic in General Students

    szeles23 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I can understand asking males to leave for religious or cultural reasons, but seriously as a mom of two kids, I did not care who was in the delivery room, I just wanted the kid out. I know many first...

  14. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    szeles23 replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    I cannot understand paying $40000 per year or semester, my whole 3 years won't even cost me that much! I go to a 4 year university but its a public school and pretty cheap considering the private...

  15. RN to PA Pre-requisites for both??

    szeles23 replied to student4lyf3's topic in General Students

    I would contact the administrator of the PA program. What city is your program in? I have looked at Medical college of GA's PA program and they don't even require a Bachelors for you to apply, just...

  16. New Student Needing Encouragement :(

    szeles23 replied to aviatorgirl777's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is probably some of the best, most straight-forward advice I have ever seen on here! Great advice! It is all about time management. Believe me I have such big fears since I have an almost 5 year...

  17. money

    szeles23 replied to Anktshah's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I seem to compare nursing to is the military. You don't do it for the money, you do it for your own personal reasons. Nursing is a great field, but you can't just do it for the money, I...

  20. What's the craziest getup you've ever seen?

    szeles23 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Nursing in CSULB

    szeles23 replied to dominohwang's topic in General Students

    That was too funny, and very true! I was also told it would be extremely rare for me to get into the program that I am now currently in. The school never told me that but they did say it was really...

  22. bio classes

    szeles23 replied to tpejjj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Med terminology might help you if you take it prior to A&P. I didn't but we had to know a lot of the prefixes and suffixes. Some were really easy and when you broke it down to the literal names of...

    szeles23 replied to hopeful*heart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice is to get the practice/review book from Barnes and Noble. I did and I did great on it. If you have not taken a chemistry you need to familiarize yourself with things like combustion,...

    szeles23 replied to simply8o8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The MEPN program at UHM seems really good. I'm in the BSN program there. You could apply to both the BSN and the MEPN but I'm not sure if the MEPN would require the NLN-pax rn as the bsn does. I'm...
