    Anatomy and Physiology....HELP!

    Annachu512 replied to Mkr2012's topic in General Students

    I honestly have heard a lot of people like taking the crunched science courses during the summer. The information comes fast but it really is pretty fresh still when taking exams and quizzes. You...

    School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    Annachu512 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Um...hate to tell ya but this is every school agenda. It makes them look good plus, honestly if it were that easy, I would hate to see how any worse some of the nurses that come out would be. I've...

    Did you lose any students?

    Annachu512 replied to mscjackson35's topic in General Students

    We lost probably 25+...some before finals, some after. I think we started with around 80. We'll see how many remain after 3 more

    Nursing 1 with other classes???

    Annachu512 replied to RNdreams7's topic in General Students

    Our semesters are very structured so almost all of us take the same classes, unless we transferred in different credits. The first semester I took A&P 2, Psych 102, and an online higher level...

    Annachu512 replied to frustratednurstudent's topic in General Students

    You're sooo not alone,. A few people in my nursing class were taking it for the second time, most failing by only 6 points or 1%. I failed my A&P II class by 1% and will have to take summer...

    Planning Ahead

    Annachu512 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am starting my second semester of ASN in August and I know it's early but you obviously can never be too careful planning out the educational pathway when considering graduate school. (Plus I'm 30,...

    30-something BSNs

    Annachu512 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I'm also thirty and starting my second semester 2+2 nursing program. I am one of the oldest but there are a few older than me. Honestly, I get along better with most of the younger students. I have...

    What's Your Attendance Policy?

    Annachu512 replied to KatieJ91's topic in General Students

    3 missed clinical days and you are out of the program, period. On lecture days, we are allowed to miss up to 3 days but no real penalty applys but there is also no recording system like you describe....

    New Grad with recent DUI; denied licensure

    Annachu512 replied to nursingnerd25's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I can't muster up a whole lot of sympathy for your situation. Whether you were sleeping or not, you are in control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Major lack of judgment started before you went...

    Getting a C in Nursing

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    Anyone considering grad school needs a back-up plan. I think most that think about those big nursing degrees dream of them before they even attempt the first semester. Life does not go how it's...

    Getting a C in Nursing

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    I'm talking about a nursing C, a passing grade. I think most programs are the same; we have to have a 79% as a passing grade. All the more reason not to whine - remember most classes, that's almost a...

    Scared to fail fundamentals for the second time!

    Annachu512 replied to rath3runique's topic in General Students

    This may sound simple minded but try to shake off that negativity. That can really weigh heavily on you as you take your exam. You can study until your brains fry but if you are convinced you're going...

    Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    Annachu512 replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    A great area is Fluid and Electrolytes. The body has several buffer systems to maintain PH levels and it's great to know just how those work when it comes to this dreaded area of the program. Just...

    Annachu512 replied to Nubian100%'s topic in General Students

    I start Pharm in the Fall semester and I must saying, I'm kinda looking forward to it. But then again, I've been a Pharmacy Tech for 12 years so I have a slight advantage. There's a class at my...

    What's the first thing you'll buy when you're officially an RN?

    Annachu512 replied to mssjez's topic in General Students

    Plan a trip to Japan. It's been my dream to go there but never had the means to really consider going. Even after getting that nursing paycheck it'll take a bit to save for it but I will at least know...

    Nursing Programs: Public vs Private Universities, does it really matter?

    Annachu512 replied to gizzel84's topic in General Students

    I personally attend a private school and love the smaller size. But the higher price tag is something to consider. My school is VERY giving with it's grants and scholarships so I only pay half of what...
