  1. 8 yrs to get B.S. ..??

    Nolli replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just be honest. I took a long time and even changed my major before applying to nursing school. I explained my experiences and how they inspired me to decide on Nursing as my profession. I took time...

  2. Do I really need ebooks?

    Nolli replied to blindcheeseit3's topic in General Students

    We had the same deal for our ebooks. The thing with ours was that it actually was cheaper to do it the ebook way unless you were renting and the fact that they came with extras even after being...

  3. Asked to give advice to new nursing students

    Nolli replied to PapaBearRN's topic in General Students

    I had to do the same thing. In addition to your stuff I told them how to get the most out of clinicals: -Don't expect good clinical experiences to jump out and bite you; put yourself out there, get...

  4. Stupid ? Is a tech the same thing as a CNA?

    Nolli replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It depends on the hospital/facility as well as unit. Within the same hospital system I have seen the nursing students work as techs and CNAs. Since we're in PA we don't need to have a license as...

  5. Going into last semester!

    Nolli replied to DWillaman72's topic in General Students

    The receiving state will always have the info you need to transfer between states. I will say that you need to ask them roughly how long it takes to transfer and plan accordingly because it took one...

  6. APA citation

    Nolli replied to Mewsin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Purdue has a wonderful section on APA:

  7. Advice for a prospective Nursing Student

    Nolli replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in General Students

    I'd say go BSN. As a lot of others have already stated a lot of hospitals are moving toward the BSN as a requirement for employment. Academic hospitals in urban areas or hospitals seeking Magnet...

  8. Admitting you are wrong

    Nolli replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I do the same thing when people ask are you sure and I'm not 100% positive. I do it sometimes even when I am. There is no way all this stuff can coexist in my head all at once it seems and so I have...

  9. I can't be excited

    Nolli replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    I understand how you feel. I have routinely gotten As and I have seen people fail and get dropped from the program for 2 fails. One of the people it happened to is a close friend of mine. Support them...

  10. Drexel's Ace Program Review

    Nolli replied to mfwise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Current COOP here. We're the non-accelerated traditional BSN students, but for the most part you guys take the exact same classes we do minus the extra stuff we need for a Bachelors. Drexel is a bit...

  11. CO=SV x HR ??

    Nolli replied to ktenor's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The problem isn't really about math but concepts. SV = EDV- ESV. EDV and ESV are about volume and thus SV can not be calculated using the above information. However we can still infer what happens to...

  12. Just got accepted but have a question...

    Nolli replied to Liverloo's topic in General Students

    Usually its more like a pre-test. We did it for a few classes to assess our knowledge and critical thinking skills before and after. DON'T PANIC! All the ones I have taken do not count for points, but...

  13. HESI Pharmacology

    Nolli replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    We take HESIs for almost every class. Pharm? You get a HESI! Clinical course? HESI! I have one end of this quarter it's worth roughly 15%, but they are very good practice for

  14. Graduation is coming... feel a little nervous

    Nolli posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm graduating next June, but I'm starting to feel a little nervous about it. I have not encountered all the things we have studied and am worried about failing to recognize them or making a...

  15. HESI Every SINGLE Semester?

    Nolli replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    We have one for every clinical course at the end. The first one is only worth 5%, but they generally go up from there with every clinical you take. We also have a midpoint HESI which is your halfway...

  16. Overthinking on tests! HELP!

    Nolli replied to meghanbeth09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is great advice. The last one is what I see a lot of. Prioritization. As my professor put it what is going to kill/hurt the patient first? If you could do only one thing what would you

  17. Questions for the experiencedl

    Nolli replied to LJohnson11213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can answer 1 and 3, not really sure about 2 or 4. Here goes: 1) The simple answer is you need to find what method of learning is best for you. Learning Styles - Visual, Auditory, and Tactile I...

  18. New Grad Advice

    Nolli replied to StudnetAmanda's topic in General Students

    A. I'm not sure B. I asked the same question during my 6 mo stint in L&D. Many of the nurses there said they came there right out of nursing school, others went to med-surg for a year 1st. The way...

  19. Feeling like I'm in a rut with school and I really need some advice...

    Nolli replied to JBrown8592's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like you, I changed my mind a lot. This is my third, and final major. My track record of grades wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. I got a D in history a few Cs in other subjects, but As in...

  20. Graduation is coming... feel a little nervous

    Nolli replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    Thanks, I wasn't really sure if it was just me or if its an actual thing. Prior to having my nursing preceptors talk about it I've been too focused on school and passing it to really think about what...

  21. Any Advice on a Plan B if my Plan A doesn't work?

    Nolli replied to stellakc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how it is in Mass, but from what I've seen there are a lot of Universities that offer the bridge programs. So that is a viable option if you are set on getting the BSN, but can't get in....

  22. Cranial Nerve Assesment

    Nolli replied to Born2Care4All's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually I do have something that may help.

  23. Will I fail clinical for an unexcused absence?

    Nolli replied to strawberryluv's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    While you can get in a lot of trouble for an unexcused absence it sounds like you addressed it promptly and they will let you make it up. I'd follow up with them about the make up when it gets close...

  24. The "Nursing Games" claims it's first victims...

    Nolli replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    Ouch, we have to qualify for each clinical with a medmath exam at the start. You get two shots to pass and there is a mandatory remediation session before the 2nd attempt. Plus all students come out...

  25. Easier?

    Nolli posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've given meds before as a medic, but the sheer amount of drugs I now have access to is overwhelming. I'm using a combination of textbook, powerpoints, notes, ati drug cards(thanks AN), ati drug...
