    They made the "official" announcement to the nursing program that the new students will now wear black scrubs. I'm sure letters must be on their way soon :) Good luck! Hoping everyone gets their...

    My Biggest Concern: Dealing with Death

    SopranoKris replied to luvcruedani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Luckily, you won't be put in that position for quite some time. The best thing you can do is be genuine & sincere when you're speaking to the family. Having just lost a family member less than a...

    Do I 'NEED' these books?

    SopranoKris replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    The lab book is a must for clinical paperwork. I always find study guides to be helpful, especially when prepping for tests. I've never once used the medical

    Favorite Nursing Class

    SopranoKris replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I have to say, before I took Maternity/OB, I had no interest in it. I loved my L&D rotation. Go figure :) I'm halfway done. Still waiting for acute care (ICU/ER), which I have a huge interest in...

    Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    SopranoKris replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I'm still debating between NP & PA school. For me, it's a matter of job opportunity and in my area, PAs have more open positions. In our state, PA & NP have the same authority, so the only...

    Most terrifying thing?

    SopranoKris replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I would never classify nursing school as terrifying. Difficult? Sure. Frustrating? Absolutely. Anxiety-inducing? Sometimes :) I think the hardest part was learning to "think like a nurse". It's a very...

    very curious

    SopranoKris replied to cbazze9709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just know that learning to "think like a nurse" is going to feel foreign & strange until the moment it "clicks". You're going to go through a lot of ups & downs on your journey. Just know that...

    RNs with an associates degree, please help, I know for a fact i will not pass math

    SopranoKris replied to D_Angelo25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, what's more important to you? Being a nurse or getting school done quickly? You can't have both. You're already telling yourself you can't do it. Stop being negative, review what you know and go...

    Passed 1st semester of nursing school :)

    SopranoKris replied to mag426's topic in General Students

    Our 2nd semester consisted of Med Surg, Maternity/OB and Long Term Care. I actually liked Med Surg. If you remember your Physiology well, you'll do fine in Med Surg. OB was a breeze and I actually...

    Be honest please, Am I Kray Kray?

    SopranoKris replied to cee cee g's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't suggest trying to take extra courses your first semester of nursing school. Trust me, I took a 1 credit hour Chem lab and I ended up having to drop it and wait until summer because there...
