Welcome to the whirlwind of nursing school, or your at the beginning, so welcome to the most anticipated waiting period of your life. It is indeed very overwhelming, especially when you look at EVERYTHING that must be done in order just to be accepte...

I finished reading all the chapters, plus what was added on Friday. I have to wake up at 5am to rewrite my highlighted notes so they are fresh for class. I don't read every detail. I made a word bank for unknown/unfamiliar words and made note cards. ...

I worked 30 hours this weekend.. I'm only working 20 now. A week... I stayed up until 2am trying to study. This is crazy.

I constantly feel like I'm on a mission. I expect the next two years to challenge everything I'm made of academically and socially.

Thank you!

I'm not sure if they are or not. I just don't have a calhoun ID in general. I never had any use for it.

Thank you for letting us know about the textbook. So I am new to financial aid, I usually pay OOP, but I need to pick up my nurse pack from calhoun. When we use financial aid all we need is our schedule and an ID right? I haven't purchased my calhoun...

If you make a decent amount of money now I wouldn't waste time on a CNA. He's 2.5, so he will start kindergarten in 2.5 years right? That time you should do prereqs and save for school.

I was wondering about the uniforms as well. I think I will wear mine because it is mandatory, they are just giving lenience for new students. The excitement for school has worn off for me. Now I'm just ready to start...I had a dream, no nightmare a ...

Most University's have direct entry programs for BSN. The catch is for high school students you must have a decent GPA, an anatomy class, decent SAT score (or whichever test is used at the University you apply to) and recommendations from a boss, tea...

Can you take any online classes? For the fine art and history? If so, that could make it easier?

Hello, I don't know what to tell you about finding a school. I had to move to get into an inexpensive, qualified school. Also I had to cut my hours in half to take microbiology in the summer. I checked out with a 98% in the class. Last summer I took...

I agree with think in terms of action not facts!

I was 16 when I decided I would become a nurse to take care of preemies in the NICU. I am now 21, and starting my first year in nursing school. Although my end goal is still to become a NICU nurse, I have realized that experience should come first. I...

Spanish You do the math.

I believe having a strong curiosity about how the body works really helped. A&P I & II success depends on how well developed your study habits are. You have to be devoted to it. I went through over 600 note cards for my A&P's, I read ever...

If you already have a degree in health science, then you could do an accelerated BSN.. Correct? That takes maybe 1.5 years? You can become a FNP while working as a BSN to gain experience. I know a few online schools that bridge BSN to NP online. I'm ...

We need a dual head correct? They didn't mention that yesterday. I'm getting a littmann.

Hey guys, I'm not buying the school bundle. I bought all my books on amazon for $462. No tax, free shipping. That included the Davis Drug Guide, and Davis comprehensive HDBK. I however, did not purchase SIMCHART. When I do purchase it, I still will h...

Where is a good place to buy the Davids's drug guide?

Not everyone is meant to be a nurse. Some people get into the program not really understanding the work ahead of them, and they fail. They just want us to all have a reality check. Game on!

I was given a new pair of nurse mates by a good friend of mine. The shoes are all white with a little blue heart on the side. If they said something about that I would just laugh and pry it off. Im still waiting to buy the books, it may be last minu...

We all have tried to get the book list, but until orientation it's at a stand still. I'm going to try Chegg.com/ amazon and add those up. If it's under the bundle prices at Textbook Brokers then I'm going to buy online.

Yep, books and knick knacks are what I'm waiting on. Also we have to wait to sign up for classes. It's all so silly to me and inconvenient so late in July to tell us these things.

Does anyone know when our nursing classes start? I'm going on vacation 1st week of Aug. Do we start with everyone else?
