  2. What works in study groups and what doesn't?

    kdbean530 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was always a solo studier until half way through first semester. First of all be flexible. Not just in your hours, but your study partners. I found that it was not working with my first partner, and...

  3. Can you guys give me an example of a day in the life of a nursing student?

    kdbean530 replied to patriotprincess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. Study/note-taking tips

    kdbean530 replied to ellamia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For me, flash cards were a waste of time. By the time I was done writing them it was time to take the exam. I don't make drug cards either for the same reason. There's just no time for that kind of...

  7. Should I regret going ADN over BSN?

    kdbean530 replied to lindsayk728's topic in General Students

    I started the ADN route as well. In California they will still hire us, but it may take 6 months to a year. It's a lot easier to get a job as an RN if you already work in the hospital. My original...

    I'm starting to write my resume, and am not sure what needs to go on there, and what doesn't. I.E. I've done a lot of volunteering in my life, does all that go on there? Do I write skills I've learned...

  10. Why are nursing students so completely disrepected?

    kdbean530 replied to agent's topic in General Students

    I have experienced both. But here's how it works. If you go into clinicals knowing what you're doing, totally confident, appreciate the staff, get to know them, don't act intimidated, speak up, ask...

  11. Pathophysiology

    kdbean530 replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't require it either, but it's incorporated into our program as is pharm. So it is rather difficult to pile that learning on top of the usual med surg stuff. So it's pretty much up to...

  12. What books to keep throughout nursing school? (buying/renting)

    kdbean530 replied to ironicitis's topic in General Students

    I'm keeping all of my books. Because you never know what you'll need in the future, and I would hate to have to buy them again. My grandma kept all of her books and I'm happy she did. It's...

  13. What is your dream nursing career

    kdbean530 replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Wow there's alot of L&D! I on the other hand totally hated that rotation. I like more action and to be constantly running around, with little breaks. Makes time go faster, and it's a good weight...

  14. Nurses and alcohol

    kdbean530 posted a topic in General Students

    One thing I'm learning is that nurses can drink! They talk about drinking their entire shift, and then go out for drinks after. But I can't blame them! Nursing is a very stressful job. I heard...

  17. Anyone Applying to Antelope Valley College RN program

    kdbean530 replied to munkeyann's topic in California Nursing

    You can calculate it out, but they take either 40 or 60 students a semester based on budget. So since we've had some budget cuts they'll probably be taking 40 for quite a while. You're looking at a 4...

    kdbean530 replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students
