    I've seen it at Barnes and Noble when I go there but I didn't get it yet because I figured I should be farther into the program and I am just now finishing my first ASN semester. I might have to pick...

    Am I crazy?

    Annachu512 replied to LOjesjdatVE's topic in General Students

    It can be done but there is some big point you are going to have to realize and quick. You having a little one is not the main issue that's going to hold you back. It's the fact that you might slack...

    Does Taking Chemistry Actually Matter?

    Annachu512 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    It's not a requirement in my program but I believe it never hurts to take at least General Chem. Like some others said, it helps in Pharmacology but also if you plan on trying for a Master's degree,...

    Annachu512 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    Wow, that was pretty mean and harsh. You had a very successful class and nothing more. We have honors students dropping out; low standards have nothing to do with it. My school has very HIGH standards...

    We have the 79% and up passing grade too. I think I have an 81% now so barely passing but I'm not complaining at all. We have a test on Monday and I hope to try and pull that grade up at least 1-2%....

    Need advice. Not sure what to do now!

    Annachu512 replied to ryansmum's topic in General Students

    2 days before NCLEX any tips?

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

    Finish looking at the books a day before then just take some time for yourself. No last minute cramming; I doubt it will do you a lick of good on a test like that. Good

    Swearing: hugely unprofessional, mildly irritating or a normal part of speech.

    Annachu512 replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I myself swear like a sailor. Not a habit I am proud of, but it is that, a habit. However, I do have an off switch and know where and when I can turn the switch back on. In front of patients is a big...

    Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?

    Annachu512 replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Students
