  1. BSN student questioning my career in nursing

    I am in the fourth semester of a five semester program and I often doubt whether nursing is for me! I am also over the age of most students and have a family and a house that are sorely neglected. I...
  2. Yup. I'm in my fourth semester and a book like this comes in handy. You can get the previous edition for very cheap, but I don't know how much of the info has
  3. Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    Try to imagine that you are very lucky to have this instructor at this time in your nursing school experience. Learn what you can from him and truly enjoy that he is a "really nice guy", who "seems...
  4. pediatrics's unit

    I understand your preference. But really, please understand what others are telling you. Pediatrics will most likely be a very, very small part of your nursing education. During my maternal-child...

  6. Select All That Apply

    We were told it could be just one. I'm in my fourth semester of nursing school and I've seen that be the case once. I wouldn't rule it out, but I think most of the time there will be more than one...
  7. I got an A in microbiology. But I can't say I enjoyed it. It was a required class, so I took it. Probably got more stressed out by it than I should have, as usual. It was the last pre-req I took...
  8. What Should I Be Doing Right Now?

    Nothing.
  9. UGH! Break is almost over..boo

    I can soooo relate. I only had a week off before summer semester and I plain did not want to come back. I am two weeks in now and just getting my head in the game. Yes, it is interesting to look back...
  10. A quick question regarding ADN programs

    I am in a five semester ADN program. We do NOT get summers off. We go straight through. We had one week between spring and summer
  11. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    We have to wear our uniform scrubs not only to clinicals, theory class and simulation lab...but whenever we are on campus! Wearing jeans to class must be
  12. Is It Necessary?

    I have a macbook and a tablet. All my textbooks are available on both devices. I wouldn't want to be in nursing school without them. I take my MacBook to school and record lectures on it, which I...
  13. Most terrifying thing?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about those.
  14. Most terrifying thing?

    I have, in fact, felt terrified during nursing school. It doesn't happen every day or anything like that. But when it has happened, it was usually during clinical if I had a very intimidating clinical...
  15. Fast Track Option for ADN program

    I don't recommend trying to rush through nursing school. But to answer your question, I've never heard of a program that you can take courses at your own pace. The nursing program I am in is a five...
  16. Coursera Classes

    I am loving the vital signs course so far. I have signed up for a few more classes that start later in the summer, too. I don't have a lot of time, but it's interesting how learning something without...
  17. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    I hate to say this, but the way you are posting here makes it seem quite possible that YOU might be a big part of the problem going on between you and the "catty clique". I don't know why or how...
  18. Please, need HELP and Advice

    Like the previous posters, my opinion is that you should stay. A lot of programs would have booted you out with no second chances. Take your second chance and work hard. Everyone makes mistakes....
  19. I never excelled in science or math in college. I graduated with a high gpa because my degree was heavy in the social sciences and humanities. When I decided to go to nursing school many years later,...
  20. University of Phoenix

    I have never gone there and I wouldn't. The tuition is
  21. What kind of Stethoscope?

    I pondered this so much before I started nursing school. I read all the reviews, got advice and etc. It was a big deal for me. Now, in my fourth semester of nursing school, I can honestly say: Get...
  22. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

    I am going into my fourth semester of nursing school and there have been some times when my actual thought was: "I don't even want to be a nurse anymore". This thought sometimes comes to me when I...
  23. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    It wouldn't work for me, as I need way more studying time than that to do well. I don't think I could adequately study for tests, do the reading, complete care plans and etc. in the time you have...

    Can you defer your
  25. Using "Medical" terms

    We are not allowed to use any medical diagnoses in our care plans. This was told to us early on, so I avoid it even when it seems like it would add to the care plan or to the overall picture of what...
