    Need some advice - Mt. San Antonio College nursing program

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Ah I see. Well then, if you actually are looking into another program, think about going to Mt. SAC! And if so, you better get started cuz it'll be another waiting period

    Need some advice - Mt. San Antonio College nursing program

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Fundamentals which is Nursing 1A start at a nursing home. The only site that both our schools share according to your list is San Antonio. The rest of our hospital are more west off the 60/10 freeway...

    Thought I would never see this day happen :(

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies! I was able to contact one of my buddies, and he's gone over the lump and he's looking to the future. My other friend, not so sure, she has a lot of stuff piling on top of not...

    barcode120x posted a topic in General Students

    We just ended our 6 week course of our med-surge rotation. I lost 2 very close friends/study group mates to grades. We've been together through thick and thin since first semester, have studied...

    Need some advice - Mt. San Antonio College nursing program

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in California Nursing

    Haha funny thing is, it's the completely opposite when the Mt. SAC instructors talk about Chaffey; however, they do it in a respectful way in that they know Chaffey has a VERY high N-CLEX pass rate so...

    Where do YOU sit in class?

    barcode120x replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoy sitting in the back and like Amnesty said, that's where the community is really. Always cracking jokes (a bit noisy at times haha, but everyone loves it), just chilling...

    Where do YOU sit in class?

    barcode120x replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I sit in the far back with mah buddies. Our room is quite small and barely fits all 60 of us in the class. My buddies and I always sat in the back. Funny thing is, most of the males sit in the back,...

    What has your most hectic day/week been so far?

    barcode120x posted a topic in General Students

    I know a lot of people had just started 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th semester, and so on. I'm curious to know the most hectic day you've had so far. This past week was ungodly for me. Had a 12hr clinical on...

    What has your most hectic day/week been so far?

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in General Students

    I love 12 hours, mainly because we only have 1 clinical a week. Doing two 8hr clinicals a week is just a time killer. Problem with 12hr clinicals is that we have to make up for the missing hours by...

    Study Tips!

    barcode120x replied to avianale's topic in General Students

    Edit: just saw your next reply. All I can say is time management and by the looks of it, you may literally have to give up social life (not joking either). Find out what classes are easy and focus on...

    How to get over being shy?

    barcode120x replied to mdm063's topic in General Students

    For me, I get more nervous than shy. I was shy 1st semester since you don't know anyone but like a few posters have said, it's ALL in the mind. I still get nervous when being tested on my clinical...

    Failed very first nursing text :(

    barcode120x replied to oliviasmom24's topic in General Students

    I failed my first quiz this 2nd semester and I was totally bummed out. I was way too overconfident and I didn't read when I should have. The 2nd quiz we had this past week, I almost aced it since I...

    barcode120x replied to dawnand1son's topic in General Students

    Don't be too worried since it's the first quiz. Now you kind of know how nursing school tests it can only go up from here. I failed one quiz my first semester, mainly because I had to work extra...

    New male RN student

    barcode120x replied to ericlangs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Two things, time management and de-stressors! I was always an average B student and not the best reader or test taker, but if in nursing school you will learn to manage your time so you do get through...

    Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    barcode120x replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    Yep. "You like to wipe @$$?" Stuff like that. My usual response to them is, "I'd rather clean people up 3 days a week and earn double or triple what you make"

    What do you so to relax from nursing school?

    barcode120x replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in General Students

    Haha, I think you should find something else to relax with, you'll already be doing a ton of reading . I would sleep in and take naps as much as I can before any other things. Sleep is my most...

    Working and Attending School

    barcode120x replied to manatee17's topic in General Students

    Naw, I think you'll be fine knowing the fact you can study at work. Some of my classmates are even more hardcore/intense (major respect for them!) cuz they work full time, have a family with kids, and...

    Financial stress!!! GRRR

    barcode120x replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Seems like some of your guys' schools cost a lot more than mine (talking about CC programs)! Our instructors let us know which books are actually required and tell us about supplemental books that may...

    Superstitions???

    barcode120x replied to BeansMama's topic in General Students

    I think this is more of a habit/routine rather than a superstition, but when I study alone, I'm ALWAYS at Starbucks listening to non-lyrical music (usually electric/dubstep) and drinking either a hot...

    "B" in A&P 1 and a "C" in A&P 2....

    barcode120x replied to Redhen84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I would petition if you can retake the class you got a C in. I would have done that myself if I hadn't gotten in my program (I had a B in Micro and Anat, but a C in Physio). Tbh and let you...
