I am starting nursing school this fall and would to hear everyone's opinions on working, studying, and anything else you can think of! I know there has been previous threats about it but I'd like to hear from some recent students also!

Hello, Our nursing program is switching over to the 8th edition books and went ahead and gave us material to read at orientation. I have the 7th edition and can't purchase the 8th til financial aide comes in. Does anyone know if there is much of a di...

There are awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to MCTC (Kentucky!) in the fall ADN program. Can't wait!

Bump for all of us starting this fall!

Hello. I just recently got accepted into nursing school and start in the fall. Anxiety started to really become an issue about money, making the grades, and having a successful marriage. But a friend suggested writing a blog so I did it..and it reall...

I think that a doctor should have more professional integrity than to say something like that. I do agree that nurses need to take care of themselves especially when we are going to be lecturing people on proper diet and exercise and we want to be ta...

I'm sure mine isn't very orginial but I'd have to say the reproductive system. I find the creation of another life to be amazing and beautiful and learning about it is really fun to me. :)

Okay, how do i just delete this post?

Lol. This made me giggle.

Congrats!

We are moving back to Kentucky next week from DC! I plan on doing lots of sleeping, swimming, and hopefully ( if we get the house) decorating our new house. Oh and lots of reading nursing and non nursing related!

Anyone have any advice on improving critical thinking skills for nursing school? I have an NCLEX review book but it doesn't have that many questions in it so I'm looking for some sites or good books. Thanks :)

School shopping is so exciting. But school shopping for nursing school was something totally different. People were giving me funny looks while I was shopping the other day, I was wayyyy to giddy. Haha.

Ugh. There is always going to be a "Maggie" anywhere you go. I know that doesn't make the situation any better but maybe sit somewhere else so you don't have to listen to her negativity? People like her usually don't make the best nurses.

I don't think a rolling suitcase will be necessary but I've heard that the rolling back packs are really good especially with the book load.

I know a lot of schools use a point system and while GPA is a big part of it. You can still get in if you do really well in the other sections like scoring high on the NLN or getting high grades in sciene courses & having experience in heath care...

Bump!

Congrats! Getting into a program that only accepts 40 out of hundreds of applicants is such an awesome feelings...especially after the THIRD try! Can't wait to start in the fall!

I'm starting in the fall also! I've been a CNA since I ws 17 so I feel somewhat prepared for the beginning clinical experiences but everything else?! Ugh! I am so nervous. I've been reading a lot of student nurse blogs ( i even started my own), forum...

Our uniform is all black scrubs with white shoes. :)

1. Kentucky 2. ADN 3. MCTCS. 4 To finally be what I've always dreamed of being and being able to support my husband and I.

Good luck! I hope you get accepted!

It's completely normal to feel nervous or anxious about something as crucial as a career change or committing to an intense program like nursing! I have wanted to be a nurse since I was little and have finally got accepted into a ADN program. I was e...

Congrats on graduating! My sister in law just had her pinning Saturday and I gave her basket full of stuff she could use as a nurse like pens, hand sanitizers, lotion, mini notebooks, clipboard, tylenol, pony tail holders, tissues, and stuff like tha...
