I got accepted for the fall! I am excited/nervous!! Any advice is more than welcome!!!!

I am trying to find some resources online for sample case studies that I can use to practice doing care plans, but have had no success with google search. I have to do my first actual care plan on a patient in clinicals this coming Saturday and I rea...

I am 20 weeks pregnant now. Just finished my first year of an ADN program. I'm off for summer but start back in August when I will be 33 weeks pregnant. My due date is 10.15.2013. I drive 1.5 hours one way to school. It was ok at the end of last seme...

I would just start looking over the Pharm concept maps so that class will take away less time from studying for NUR 112. You will have an exam between the two classes what feels like almost every week. OB is SO much information. I would maybe just st...

I'm going into my last year (third semester) of Nursing School and I am BEYOND thrilled and blessed!! It has been SO hard! I live almost 2 hours away from my school and have a 2 yet and will be giving birth to my second in October. I am blessed I hav...

There are several sites/apps that give practice NCLEX questions. It is not cheating to practice questions. Would it not be the same if you were using an NCLEX study book? Those are questions with answers.

I DO!!!! I look them up just to see the requirements. I'm going into my second semester of RN school in a ADN program. I can go straight into a BSN program online that lasts a year through a connecting university, when I graduate with my associates. ...

WELL SAID!!! That's exactly what I was trying to get across!!! This just sounds better than what I said!!! lol

In my nursing school, you cannot have hair color other than normal colors (blonde, red,brown, black, grey, etc), and no showing tattoos. I think expressing yourself through appearance is very unique! I used to have hot pink hair, 1" gauges in my ears...

I am so HAPPY!!!!!!! It seems almost surreal that I passed my first semester of nursing school! I have been through so many ups and downs this semester. I have been through so many emotions! I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders!!!...

We had fundamentals of nursing for first semester and did clinicals in a nursing home with actual patients. Next semester will be Psych, OB, and Pharm. I am nervous because I heard it is A LOT!!!! Wednesday was my last day and I started reading in my...

I had those same plans and everything planned out when I started my first semester. Truth is you have to learn to go with the flow or you won't make it! Live day to day! I know that's easier said than done but you literally have to when you're in nur...

I'll be 30 next weekend and will be starting my second semester of an ADN program in Janurary. I thought I was too old too, but honestly I'm not! There are people in thier late 40's just starting in my class! I plan to take my degree as far as I can...

We do not have any fill in the blank mutliple-choice type questions like that. I am only in first semester, so I am not sure if I will see them later on. Seems like nursing school wants to test your ability to pick out the distracter.

OKAY....I just got my grade back from my second fundamentals exam and I got a 78!!! I made a 70 on my first exam!!! 75 is passing, have literally studied every free minute! The questions are SO random! It's like I have to know every single detail in ...

I am doing an article critique for using medications safely and effectively in older asults. I found this journal article titled "Risk of death and hospital admission for major medical events after initiation of psychotropic medications in older adul...

We have to fill out a NPR for clinicals. There is a section that says "Pathophysiology and Manifestations" We are supposed to use reliable interenet sources. A lot of students are putting the definition of the dx and the professor is not all right wi...

I do not have a patho book. I am in fundamentals right now. Med-Surg is next semester. Can you recommend a good patho book?

That DID help! Thank you so much for explaining this in detail for me! It helped me a lot! :)

we have gotten one example but there arent any in the text and we werent required to get a care plan book, only a nursing dx book or cards. I have ordered a care plan book, though! I havent been able to find any samples. i have to do one Saturday on ...

Go *****! I came here looking for help with this yesterday! Lol

Hey! I'm Johnna! I will be applying to the LSON for Spring 2013! I have been attending DSCC for the past 2 years. They have not been the best to work with and that is the reason I am having to wait until Spring 2013 to apply. (you can read that story...

i have been attending this college since the fall semester of 2009. i have been pursuing a career in the medical field as a registered nurse. i applied for the nursing program last october 2011. now, before i continue, let me give a little info th...

Staragate, I have met with both professors twice. It is mandatory to set up a private meeting with them if you score below an 80 in the exam. They have pretty much said try studying different ways to retain the material... And I did try that last tin...

Also brillohead, I have that book it was required course material but thank you for suggesting it :)
