  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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. How To Get An "A" In Any Nursing Course

    queserasera posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's that time again, the prerequisite and nursing school boards will be filling with new fall students. The most common questions I see are usually people feeling worried about some of the "harder"...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Spring 2015 NEW nursing students

    queserasera replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  18. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    queserasera replied to Ashleee014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Several factors went into my decision to pursue this as a career. First of all, I am genuinely invested in the well-being of the human race both physically & emotionally. I really just want to...

  19. Should I Give Up?

    queserasera replied to ConfusedSoul94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the thing even if you do get in to a program do you feel like you'd be able to thrive in a program? The reason nursing schools have pre requisites is to ensure students accepted to the program...

  20. Textbook prices?

    queserasera replied to virgo7598's topic in General Students

    I was able to find some e-copies of my text on torrent sites. Yes, it's illegal. But you know what else should be illegal. Making students pay $1165 for textbooks for a 2 year

  21. Would it be a bad idea to take bio and chem?

    queserasera replied to tbranch9023's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bio & Chem have a huge overlap so they are lovely courses to

    queserasera posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Is this a doable thing?

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

    Initially chemistry was a toughie for me. I over thought each concept until it drove me mad! I was sure within the first few weeks I'd made a huge mistake taking the accelerated course. However It...

  24. Hello I got question of johns hopkins

    queserasera replied to dreamcomestrue's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Sounds like too much money to me. Contact Johns Hopkins hospital directly - I would hate to see you lose that

  25. AACC Spring 2015

    queserasera replied to srivers777's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They changed to rolling admission - so anyone who meets basic requirements (I think 2.5 GPA & passing TEAS score) gets in on a waitlist. The waitlist is full for a few semesters out. I had to wait...
