1. I Need help and tips. Need as much advice as possible. Starting nursing school in Jan

   queserasera replied to Bailando's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I'd brush up on medical terminology on a site like quizlet or studyblue - there is a lot of content there for free. Other than that, just chill for now. When it comes to doing well in nursing school...

2. Should I buy an NCLEX book before starting nursing school

   queserasera replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Students

   If I were you I'd buy Fundamentals Reviews and Rationales by Mary Hogan and if your school uses ATI for benchmark exams, I'd get a copy of the Fundamentals book for that as well. NCLEX questions would...

3. Got a 58.18% on my first nursing exam (1st semester)

   queserasera replied to aartistc's topic in General Students

   Protip: always allow yourself to fail your first exam. I learned early on the first exam is a benchmark for how the tests here on out will be and how you prepared for it. I'm in second semester now...

4. I finally quit smoking!

   queserasera replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Congratulations!!! This is my next big hurdle. It's a huge one especially since so many hospitals are NOT hiring smokers around

5. Best route for getting into nursing?

   queserasera replied to stevenk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Finish your undergrad and then look into entry to practice master's programs OR second bachelors programs. I know University of Maryland has a entry-to-practice Master's option for those that already...

6. Quit during orientation

   queserasera replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

   I see that everyone has already dragged you, but I just have to say this is the stupidest thing I have ever read. "I was doing grunt work." Pssh, did you think you'd be handing out

7. clinicals

   queserasera replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

   In my clinical group of 8 we were split in half (4/4) to take a 30 minute lunch and would have to leave our patients with one of the other student nurses. In that 30 min we could do whatever for...

8. Has nuring school gotten harder?

   queserasera replied to humboldt13's topic in General Students

   I mean, I have nothing to compare current nursing school to past nursing school but I really don't think it's hard. We have a lot of stuff to do, but I will never say "it's hard". I study no more than...

9. Pre Nursing Classes

   queserasera replied to sjgibses's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Hi there! I am in my first semester of nursing school now and wanted to share my experience with you. First of all "hard" is so subjective! It totally depends on you! If hard means difficult to learn...

10. What do you do to stay sane? :?

    queserasera replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    I get everything I need to do (Attending Lecture, Lab, reading & studying) done between 8am-5pm Monday-Friday so I don't have to think about school at night or on the weekends. It's really hard...

11. This is slightly off topic BUT..

    queserasera replied to AP030314's topic in General Students

    Imitation is the biggest form of flattery. Also... that most annoying. Just don't tell anyone anything anymore. Unless you move away you'll probably still be running into the same people

12. Can you have piercings in the nursing program?

    queserasera replied to choomtop's topic in General Students

    Protip: Get a septum retainer. They are small and look like the shape of a long staple. That way you can keep it open and still have it flipped up without so much jewelry in your

13. Tattoos and nursing school NCCC

    queserasera replied to lisserluvy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I had similar concerns with starting clinicals. My fiancée is a professional tattoo artist, and needless to say, with free tattoos at my disposal, I have become quite covered. A full...

14. graduated but not really

    queserasera replied to btf5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also majored in "Pre-Nursing" studies and graduated with my AS degree in that in the spring. The community college I attended is a huge feeder school for the BSN schools in my area, which is why...

    Congratulations! I am also starting my program in Spring 2015. I bought all physical copies of my books. I don't know about you, but I can not read e-book versions of textbooks as I like to physically...
