    Let's hear from the over 40 students

    SopranoKris replied to 47yomalestudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 45. I have a (soon-to-be) 22 y/o step daughter and a 15 y/o son. Luckily, they're at an age where they're pretty much self sufficient (except when dinner mysteriously rolls around). I take...

    i need a nursing dx for non-compliance

    SopranoKris replied to jbeazer703's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    She's referencing the NANDA-I book. If you don't have it...GET IT!!!! Worth every penny!

    Student cheats off me in nursing school

    SopranoKris replied to nurseoholic's topic in General Students

    I feel just terrible for what you're going through. I think we've all had friends whom we'd never think would do such a thing to us. I'm so sorry she decided to take the "easy" way out and cheat off...

    i need a nursing dx for non-compliance

    SopranoKris replied to jbeazer703's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No, it's not. You're trying to make a diagnosis "fit". What is your patient currently displaying now that he's back in the hospital? What is he at risk for? Think about

    Choosing which hospital for clinicals?

    SopranoKris replied to alexamasan's topic in General Students

    You get a choice??? Wow, consider yourself lucky. We're not allowed to choose. We're assigned, whether it's close or far away. I'd choose the place where you think you might want to work later so...

    How many of us are happy we're done with this semester?

    SopranoKris posted a topic in General Students

    Final exams are done! No more papers to write!!! I can now say I'm officially half-way done with nursing school. This time, next year (hopefully), I'll be done. I'm so happy to have some time off...

    Human Growth and Development

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

    I found it to be a pretty easy class. You'll dive into the development cycles you touched on in your 1st semester Psych class. You'll know Ericksen & Piaget pretty well by the time you're done...

    Anyone taking summer classes?

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

    Yep! Repetition was the key in math. I got an A in Calculus by doing every single problem in the book, whether it was assigned or

    Med terminology class?

    SopranoKris replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    We weren't required, but if you completed one prior to nursing school, you got to "comp out" of all the medical terminology quizzes in nursing school. Was definitely worth

    chemistry placement test

    SopranoKris replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken it personally. However, I know it's used when students have taken Chem in high school. It's so the science dept. can determine what level of Chem to put you in, since not all schools...

    Anyone taking summer classes?

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

    Yes! I'm in nursing school (halfway done!) and we have the summer off. So, I'm working on courses towards the BSN in the summer. The more I get knocked out now, the less I have to take later
  16. SopranoKris

    What are you doing summer break?

    SopranoKris replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I'm taking classes towards the BSN in the summer. The more I do now, the less I have to do later

    Lcc roll call applying for 2014

    SopranoKris replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Wow! They're going much later this year. I guess with the new changes to the application process, it's going to cause delays. Best of luck to those of you waiting for a letter!!!

    Help, any advice? Might fail a class twice.

    SopranoKris replied to tara1245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use this as a learning point of what not to do in the future. Once you're in nursing school, you're expected to stay on top of things. Good luck with the rest of your

    Specialist

    SopranoKris replied to Besh's topic in General Students

    I would suggest going into nursing school with your eyes, ears & mind wide open. Before beginning nursing school, I wanted to go in to ER or ICU. I wanted nothing to do with maternity/OB, had no...

    Looking forward to third semester!

    SopranoKris replied to Friskee's topic in General Students

    My second semester was Med Surg, Maternity/OB and Long-Term Care. I found it much "easier" than Fundamentals because we got to actually apply what we were learning in class to what we were doing in...
