    Just as a tip, be careful what classes you take if you're only taking them to maintain full time status. Many of these classes don't count towards TAP eligibility, but may affect future eligibility...

    What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

    A&Ox6 replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I think that for each person something different will work. For example, I printed out a grid for each day of the semester with 24 hours broken into 15 minute intervals. I planned for everything...

    What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

    A&Ox6 replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    How do you plan on studying for nclex if you haven't started nursing school. I think that you can hold of on nclex, but review A&P as well as study skills, time management, and critical thinking....

    A&Ox6 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Clinicals and stethoscope?

    A&Ox6 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I think that unless money is no issue at all or your school requires the Littman, a generic one should be okay. As a nursing student, it is not necessarily worthwhile to buy an expensive one. If yo...

    Another helpful resource might be some occupational therapy resources that focus on this population. Also, I have seen places that teach these skills as an activity. So, they get makeup artists to...

    Out of curiosity, why does my username list CNA before RN? From my understanding, RN would be first. I also have noticed some who have LVN, RN. Would that be the correct order? This is something about...
