  1. Binders for notes?

    GracyMae replied to ChrisMarie09's topic in General Students

    I always print my PowerPoints 2 per page, back and front, but it is mainly due to eyesight needs. Plus, I like more room to take notes next to each slide. Last semester, all of my classes filled a...

    GracyMae replied to DIVINELY FAVORED's topic in General Students

    I am sorry for your situation, Divinely Favored, but always remember to read your school's policies before making decisions like that. At least they are allowing you to come back. If your school...

  5. How do you do a study group?

    GracyMae replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

    I've always been a lone studier (and I always made As). But when I got into nursing school this summer, I thought I might try something different ... since nursing school classes are very different...

    GracyMae replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    Our nursing school 8 semester curriculum came with a bundle of books that we bought that was to last us the entire 2.5 years of nursing school (BSN program). During our first semester, we saw that...

    GracyMae replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Good Luck, SoonToBeRN2013!!! You can do it. My daughter is also in grad school and she puts her book up on her stationary bike and reads and bikes. Also, you can tape your classes or read your...

  8. Nursing student weight

    GracyMae replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    It really depends on how you handle stressful situations as to whether you are going to gain or lose weight when you're in a stressful situation, like nursing school. If you're prone to using food for...

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

    GracyMae replied to patriotprincess's topic in General Students

    Yes, I know! The amount of reading is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!! Our class was visited by some seniors one day who were supposed to give us tips for nursing school. One of the tips they gave us was to...

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

    GracyMae replied to patriotprincess's topic in General Students

    Our first semester was this summer and we were expected to have read a bunch of the material already before the first day of class. In one of the classes, we were expected to read 6 chapters (yes I...

  11. Nursing student weight

    GracyMae replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester of a BSN program, and I ended up losing 8 pounds! It was a grueling 8 weeks with more stress than I think I've ever had in my life - I barely had time to eat (or...

    GracyMae replied to KristeyK's topic in General Students

    Not sure if anyone already posted this or not, but the following is a great web site to practice your ABGs - after doing several of these, you will know how to interpret them in mere seconds, and also...

    GracyMae replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my BSN classes this June. First up, an 8 week summer semester of Pathophysiology, Pharm I and Professional Nursing Concepts. Seems like a lot for an 8 week summer semester, but I'm...

  15. when does the math come in

    GracyMae replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I responded to this in another thread, where you posted this question again. I responded thinking you were going into a BSN program, but my answer probably still applies to an ADN program. Good...

  16. heparin drip calculation

    GracyMae replied to ablade's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say "beginning," but I assume they need you to know algebra and statistics - maybe some calculus, since those are required core courses for pre-nursing majors. And...

  17. heparin drip calculation

    GracyMae replied to ablade's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have not started my nursing classes yet, but seems to me that if you have 25,000 units of the medication in 500 mL, then you have 50 units of med per each mL of fluid. So each mL of fluid equals 50...

  18. Micro, A &P on their own??

    GracyMae replied to arb19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a great schedule - not too grueling. You'll do

  19. Nursing classes are easy...

    GracyMae replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I've heard many say that - that more than anything else, it's about time management and balancing school w/ everything else that goes on in life. If you're already an LVN, then I'm sure you'll do...

  20. Nursing classes are easy...

    GracyMae replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    This was an addendum to a previous post in the same thread, but that one was apparently deleted by Allnurses Admin - I have no idea why they would do that, since I said nothing offensive to anyone -...

  21. I'm having an I did it moment!!

    GracyMae replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Way to go!! Keep it up! That's awesome

  22. Nursing classes are easy...

    GracyMae replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I would also like to add that, while I agree with those who have pointed out that much of college is mostly rote memorization (especially your 2 yrs of core classes), I must say I learned more in my 2...

  23. The latest nursing scrubs...

    GracyMae replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have not had much opportunity to wear scrubs yet - only doing CNA stuff- but I have a feeling I'm going to prefer

    GracyMae replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    LOL - with those kinds of answers, they probably think you make your money illegally
