    Sociology of the Family

    Annachu512 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    True but I put 110% into every class...just some come to me better than others. It's just not all that interesting or challenging to me but with your likes, you probably will enjoy it

    NCLEX passing rates

    Annachu512 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Something you have to understand about nursing school - students drop like flies in most programs. The schools do the "weeding" out prior to students taking the test. My school tests us with NCLEX...

    Sociology of the Family

    Annachu512 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I'm actually in it right now, an online version for the summer. To be honest, I'm not getting much out of it but that could just be because it's online. I hate online classes but that's just what...

    NCLEX Books - Which one worked for you?

    Annachu512 replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    I have been picking up any cheap ones I can get a hold of. They're older but still really helpful with content and question style. I usually get them on eBay for less than 10 dollars a piece. I have...

    I hate microbiology

    Annachu512 replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    I take Micro in the Fall. It's not a nursing pre-req as I am in level 2 nursing but it must be completed before graduating with the ASN. Since level 2 is the "easiest" nursing semester (and I use...

    Working 48 hours a week

    Annachu512 replied to jhopper's topic in General Students

    You probably should worry. Some schools have no tolerance for breaking rules such as that. I can understand that rule - I honestly would not want someone who just worked such a long time come in and...

    ATI "Nurse in a box"

    Annachu512 replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    We are provided with all of our ATI books. Not really sure why though I am not complaining what so ever. I was fortunate this semester with my regular books too and only paid $100 for my OB book with...

    Annachu512 replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    We do all of our fundamentals 1st semester, but nothing about placing IVs. We did Foleys and ng tubes. Our second semester is OB/Peds rotation and we restart Adult Nursing in the third smemster. Did...

    3rd shift clinical...Will i get enough experience?

    Annachu512 replied to newbieRN724's topic in General Students

    Gosh, we don't even have a night shift clinical possible. I'm heading into OB/Peds rotation and we either had the choice of Monday 7am-1pm or Friday same times; that's it. Perhaps because we're a...

    Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    Annachu512 replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    You know, it's all in what you make of it! It will be hard and it's a lot of work but I myself don't particularly mind. I am going into my second semester and I have been enjoying it. And I am 30 with...

    Accepted into nursing sxhool, but question about background check.

    Annachu512 replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    I had to do a full background check through the state (I go to a Catholic private school so it's pretty strict). Not sure what would pop up on it. It's something you take care of though. If it goes to...

    pharm??

    Annachu512 replied to momtojosh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Don't round unless they specifically ask you to round. Almost 0.4 ml of medication might not seem like a lot but it can make a big difference. I start Pharm in the Fall but I have been a pharm tech...

    I want to move out of state.

    Annachu512 replied to white8tiger6's topic in General Students

    It is extremely difficult to get into nursing school in Atlanta. There's usually a waiting list and your grades have to be up there. Just something for you to consider. Different areas are easier to...

    Annachu512 replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    There is nothing wrong with missing because you're sick. This isn't liek you woke up and said "Screw it, I don't feel like going in." I missed a clinical day last semester. Now my school deducts 6...

    "Made Incredibly Easy" or "Demystified"?

    Annachu512 replied to waterlily777's topic in General Students

    I like both. I have both in a few nursing subjects. One thing I like about Demystified is the sections are easy to flip through; great for a bit of study help. Do not pay full price though! I got most...
