Yeah, I see what you mean! I should have asked more questions before accepting but this is the first real job I got accepted for (what I mean is not a McDonald's job) and I was excited about it and accepted the job without thinking. Now it is biting ...

Hey to all. I am a student graduating next month. I am having a huge dilemma in picking for my first job. I accepted a position at a huge hospital in my area and the ratio for nurses in med-surg is 5-6:1 depending on acuity and staffing, and I have t...

My opinion is that if you could skip having a boyfriend, it would be better. BUT, it is possible to have a boyfriend while in nursing school. I am a junior in college now in the nursing program, and I have been with my boyfriend for four years. If a ...

Hello to all, I am a student nurse in my third year of college due to graduate next year in May 2008. I am thinking of going into a dialysis floor when I graduate but I would like to know if you guys would recommend going into a med surg the first ye...

I am going to be doing an externship at Thomas Jefferson University hospital this summer at the Liver and Renal Transplant unit. It is a med surg unit that has pre-op and post-op (stable) patients. If I like that unit, I hope that I can secure a posi...

I bought a book from Half.com on the 22nd of August (A Pathophysiology book) and I paid 93.00 for it. Yet, I haven't recieved the book. It says it has been shipped but I haven't recieved it as of yet. But, I will tell you that one bad seller out of t...

I got a 99% on my first exam! It covered the endocrine and cardiovascular system! I studied my butt off, so I deserve it! Now we are going to cover the blood/circulatory system and the lympatic system! I hope to pass, the test is on Thursday. There w...

I think AP II is way harder than AP I. I am really nervous because on the 20th of this month is my first lecture test on the Endocrine and Cardiovascular system. Does anybody have any tips on memorizing all the glands that go with each of the hormone...

Well at my school 12 credit hours is a blessing from heaven.I wish I could take 12 credits but I won't graduate in 4 years if I do. I feel that I am overexerting myself with 17 credits. Next semester I am taking 15 credits and even that feels overbea...

OMG!!!!! My professor just posted our grades on Blackboard and I got an..... A-!!!!!!!!! 90% I just cannot believe it!!!! 70 people failed the course :o ... But anyway, back to the great news!!!! I barely made it, I had an 89% average overall, but I...

In my AP class there are approximately 410 students and 60 ended up dropping out. On the first day of class, it was so jammed packed and as the year progress, there were like 20 students (out of 410!!!) scattered around the lecture hall and some were...

Well, I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and I have some nursing schools around here. The most known is the University of Pennsylvania's Nursing school and that is a really hard nursing program to get into (well, it is an Ivy League school). We als...

Tell me about it! I wish you luck on your two tests! I guess you have more pressure than me!!! But if we look on the bright side, at least we made it to the end of the road and did not give up on the class. Good Luck~:) :) :)

Hey guys! Well, I am kinda nervous. Tommorrow is my final lecture exam and boy am I super nervous. I am trying to get an A in the class and right now my average is an 89% B+. This is a breakdown of my grades: Lec 1: 79% (really affected me) Lab 1: 48...

I just want to know if there is a certain test needed to gain admission into Nursing School. The reason I ask is because I am currently attending Temple University and I am doing my nursing pre-reqs right now. Temple has a nursing school which you on...

Well, I am currently taking chemistry and the reason I haven't been doing to well is because I am taking AP I and AP I lab at the same time and it is too stressful to study for everything. Also, chem is not my best subject... I suppose I could do bet...

Yeah, but we have 5 lecture tests and 5 lab tests, 100 questions each... that is a lot of material and I have a full load of classes (chem, sociology, philosophy, etc) as well and that is pretty hard and I work part-time. I wouldn't have a problem if...

I know how you feel! One test and your hard earned average can go down. I am drowning in AP and we have tests like every other week. You really have to keep up or you will fail. I am taking a test on tuesday and i think my 85% average will go down.. ...

For AP I, I needed to take Chem I with Lab.

You are not the only one starting from scratch. I am a freshman and started in fall of 2004. I have to take all my core (pre-reqs) classes in two years. Last semester I took Psychology as a Social Science, Math CO55, Intro to Chem I and Chem Lab, Eng...

I am sorry but what is this NLN exam for? I am a freshman at Temple University and we have a nursing school but you apply for it in your sophomore year to continue on in your junior and senior year and get your BSN. WE don't have to take an exam to g...

yeah, I was gonna ask that too. I have AP I next semester and I really to pass with an A. I am willing to work my butt:rolleyes: off for that grade. So where do you get the coloring book.

Okay, well for me Chemistry has been the hardest but I haven't taken Microbiology or Anatomy and Physiology (spring 2005). I have a problem with me not liking Chemistry for the fact that: isn't chemistry what the nursing curriculum revolves around? I...
