It was exactly the same for me too! Taking the pre/co req's were required in order to get into the program which is highly competitive to get into. Take all the classes you can while you are waiting and make the best grades that you can. It took me t...

It is a very exciting journey! The "unknown", I thought would kill me before my first day of class! I was so nervous and excited, but soon it became routine! I am about to start my second semester and cannot wait! Nursing school is alot of fun and yo...

YAAAAAYYY!!!! So glad that you shared your experience. I have three semesters to go but it sure is nice to know what to expect! Way to go passing NCLEX!:cheers:

I have only been through one semester but here is what my school recommends; Scan your readings first going over the bold topics,etc. Then read your readings before class. During class lecture follow along with the ppt. or whatever method your school...

From what I understand these schools are not accredited schools and the prices of going to these schools are double or triple the price of comm. college. I would definitely research and explore what you are getting into, before you decide to commit. ...

I think what you mean is .45% NaCl (half normal saline) and .33% NaCl (one-third normal saline) which are hypotonic solutions used to provide free water and treats cellular hydration.They are used to promote kidney waste elimination and should not be...

While I appreciate your feelings about the Hesi A2, I really did not feel that the test was THAT difficult. I did not use any resources whatsoever. I took the TEAS test for another school and felt that it was a much more challenging test. I just want...

Congratulations! I know how exciting this is for you! I am about to start my second semester of nursing. I love nursing school and I'm sure you will too! While it is challenging and nerve racking, it is wonderful learning all the new skills and clini...

Congrats to you! It sounds like you really had the devil working against you but with God's help you won! It is wonderful that you shared your story and I hope the best for you!

I will be enjoying family time since we all go back to school on monday! I have been organizing, laundry, rearranging and cleaning all week! I think we will do some last minute shopping and eating out tonight, but then doing absolutely nothing but be...

YAYYYY!!!! Good for you! I am starting NS on Monday too! It's so exciting isn't it? I am happy for you and know you will do great!

I think it depends on the state that you live in. In tx you have to get approval from the board of nursing if you have any criminal history (anything other than traffic tickets) in order to take the NCLEX. Your school should have information about i...

I bought my books @ the school's bookstore. Our bundle is what we need for two years of NS and comes with all but one of the books and all the cd's that I need. I did not want to take the chance of not getting my books on time plus I get financial ai...

Thanks for sharing your story Mi VIDA Loca! You are truly inspiring and very smart! I am so happy for you! I start my NS on Monday and I am sooooo excited! I really appreciate you taking the time to encourage everyone and being such a good role model...

Hang in there! I bet that you are nervous because you were late, but Murphy's Law prevails at the most inconvieniant times! I agree that nurses have to be professional and your trainer is just trying to be helpful!Don't let it get to you and kill 'em...

It took me three years but I finally got into NS! The first year, I took one or two classes at a time, i went full time the second year but also moved. Because I moved and changed schools the requirements and prereq's were different and so I had to t...

I had A&P I and A&P II both combined 4 cr hrs each!

I start next Monday too! It can't get here fast enough! I am nervous as well. I know that NS will be demanding for me but I know my family will have to get used to it as well. So I am ready to start our new routines and get going on this great challe...

I used to live in the Waco area so I have actually looked at Temple College requirements. I think that every point helps in such a competitive career choice. If you are already moving then,why not? I moved from that area last year and next week I beg...

Awww You poor thing! I think that most of us have moments like that at one point or another! I wouldn't sweat it! I too have performance anxiety especially in a room full of strangers, but look at it this way, your fellow nursing students will be in...

Each school does have its own requirements on which sections that must be taken. At one school I went to A&P was not required but at this school it is! Good Luck to You!

Yes! I know just what you mean, I start Aug.22 in ADN program and it is all I can think about! I am elated and excited and cannot wait to start but then there is Ms. evil sitting on my shoulder throwing doubts my way... Am I really smart enough? Will...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any info about what will be required (such as penlight, steth,etc), where to buy scrubs, do they come with patches already on them? Also any kind of info on what to expect would be awesome!Oreintation is on August 5t...

Thanks for the information! I am taking that pharmocology math class on the 9,10, and 11th. I really appreciate your response! I will see you friday!!!!
