    I know this an old beast BUT ...

    I think the ADN vs BSN thing goes both ways. Many ADN students think their "way" is better, and many BSN students think their "way" is better. I'm a BSN student and I don't really care. As long as you...

    What's on your study desk?

    Calendar Whiteboard Corkboard About three different containers holding various assortments of pens, pencils, highlighters, and dry-erase markers. I don't know why I keep going down that aisle. I think...

    Orientation

    Had mine a couple of weeks ago. It did make it seem real! There are some strict rules about dress code, I will say that. Not that I won't/can't follow the rules, but I think it is interesting how...

    Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    I do this too. The end of the semester is so stressful for me, especially when I have more than one final in one day. I like knowing that I'm okay if I don't do as well as I generally like to. I...

    Opinions on Becoming a Nurse

    I think it is an insult wrapped in a compliment. One of those pitying sighs and oh, I think you could do better statements. Most likely it means the person has no idea what being a nurse is even...

    C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    Not necessarily, though GPA is important. Generally (very generally, as every school is different), a nursing school would be more interested in your nursing prereq GPA, which would include classes...

    iPad mini and macbook air?

    Open Office is free and very similar to Microsoft Office. It has the equivalent to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, as well as a couple of others I can't remember. I downloaded it a couple of years ago...

    Opinions on Becoming a Nurse

    I've been told that I'm too smart to be a nurse and, therefore, I should be a doctor. I would not now be preparing for nursing school in the fall if I had any desire to be a physician. I've also been...

    Ebooks

    That's exactly how I am! I highlight and highlight and then I'm like, wow, the whole page is yellow. At least you can "erase" highlighting in

    Ebooks

    I start nursing school in the fall, and will be buying all ebooks (requirement) soon. My program uses Pageburst. Apparently there are plenty of "exciting" features like being able to search across all...

    Bizarre Dream

    I cannot tell you how many dreams I have had about being late to class, especially tests. I end up at school late, random students glare at me when I enter the class, and I realize it's test day, I...
  13. I found out my program requires some kind of "device," whether it be phone, iPad, or Kindle Fire, in order to use ebooks. I wasn't really thrilled about it, but I've wanted a Kindle Fire for a while...

    Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

    For me, A&P was harder than micro. I actually enjoyed A&P more, but I had to put a lot more work into it than I did for

    Cheater

    I know what you're saying. At this point I wouldn't bring it up to the student in case she ends up at your nursing school, but bringing it up to the instructor might be an option. I don't see how it...

    Fall semester? Too much? Not enough?

    Statistics wasn't bad at all for me. I mean, if you really hate math then you might have some trouble, but it is not too

    Ebooks Required

    Does your nursing program require you to use electronic textbooks so that you can view them (especially the required drug guide) at clinicals? Just curious. I was a little surprised when I learned...

    Stethoscopes

    I start in the fall as well. The nursing program I'm going to recommended a Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope. I've been looking for a place online to buy and get engraving done, and so far...

    Just wondering why it is so...

    I feel the same way. I have maybe one or two people that I talk to at school that I feel like I can actually consider friends (as in, they listen to me). In most social situations I feel very...
