  4. Jealous much?

    flying_ace2 replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    I don't share my grades at all anymore. I've found that my grades are typically some of the highest (lol I'm definitely not perfect though!!!), and that means that people constantly asked me to help...

    flying_ace2 replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    Thanks, he's definitely one in a million and I make sure I let him know how amazing he is everyday! It is a drastic change from what I had before we moved in together - I did all my pre-reqs over...

  6. Life Expenses in Nursing School?

    flying_ace2 replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    It probably doesn't help, but my fiance is covering all our living expenses while I'm in school so I don't have to work. I've taken out federal (and 2 private!) student loans in order to finance my...

  10. NCLEX style questions - do you ever get used to them?

    flying_ace2 replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    Forgot to add that you can Google something like "nursing fundamentals pain NCLEX questions", and that should give you LOTS of options for additional practice questions. Myself and a few classmates...

  11. NCLEX style questions - do you ever get used to them?

    flying_ace2 replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    For my Fundamentals class last semester, I bought F.A. Davis's Fundamentals Success, 3rd ed. It helped me review almost everything we covered in class (some of it's topics are more med-surg, but...

  13. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    flying_ace2 replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

  14. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    flying_ace2 replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    The apron is apparently because our school likes to present a "traditional" image of nursing during clinicals, and the patients we take care of "just absolutely love it". Nevermind that it's 2013....

  15. Cost of BSN

    flying_ace2 replied to p.xochil's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That kind of debt for a BSN in absolutely crazy. I'm in an accelerated, accredited program through one of the local state universities, and I'll come out in 16 months with about $35,000 worth of...

  16. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    flying_ace2 replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    The cost does include putting patches on each top/lab coat, and honestly I have no idea what the apron is for. There are three guys that are included in my class and they don't have to wear it. I'm...

    flying_ace2 replied to rbunnybennett's topic in General Students

    I always brought at least 1 book, usually Fundamentals or Health Assessment, to class, but it was to study/take notes around my class schedule. I never really looked at it while we were actually in...

    flying_ace2 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Last semester in Fundamentals, when discussing what classes we'd be taking in January if we were accepted to upper division, this woman in class asked: "what does med-surg stand for?"!!! Keep in mind...
