  1. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    SSRM, I did try and got the good pop up. I had to drive 3 hours from my house to take it, so I didn't give myself a chance to check until I got to a friend's house lol. Registered Nurse y'all!
  2. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    I cried in the elevator down to the lobby. I didn't know how to feel. 75 questions and it cut off. Passed!
  3. Half a nurse :) two semesters to go

    Im happy to be in such great company! I'm half a nurse too! We are halfway through our 3rd semester. Two more to go! It gets harder and harder but I'm not going anywhere
  4. Bevill State Fall 2012- What to expect?

    Things are going really well so far. Hopefully it will continue the upward trend! :). All of our instructors are really nice and helpful and all of the fellow students have grown close.
  5. Yay! I passed hand-washing!

    Congrats! I feel like that every check off! We do vital signs Monday. :)
  6. The rolling backpack debate

    As for the young folk, who cares what they think? :) If having it will save your back (I'm 36 so I get it) then do it. The one I have rolls but also has back straps so I can carry it when I need to. Save yourself! LOL I am not the only one who ha...
  7. Binders for notes?

    I originally had a 1-2inch binder for all classes but that's out now. Now I bring a 1inch binder for each class. We meet in a lecture hall so we have these tiny half desks and no room for the big book and binder. I keep only filler paper in the binde...
  8. Do you read the entire book?

    Our Fundamentals book is huge with tiny print but, I'm going to read it all for right now. One of our instructors tests straight from the book so until I take her test and see for myself I'm reading every word lol. I try to read one chapter and take...
  9. I start nursing school tomorrow!

    I'm just so, so glad everything worked out for you ! Good luck! I'll start Wednesday :)
  10. Pre-reqs and working full time..

    I was able to work full time during all my Pre-reqs. I took 2-3 courses each semester and took most of them at night. One semester for an example: A&P I (T&Th nights), Human Growth & Development (Mon nights), Speech (online). Try not to ...
  11. Advice please!

    I guess it depends on how tough the instructors are. I took A&P II and Micro the same semester. A day and night class respectively. The Micro instructor barely taught us anything but most of what we should've been learning we'd gone over in A&...
  12. How are you preparing?

    I've cut my hair (easier for a ponytail). I quit my job but only because it would've required me to work while I was in class (I'm looking for a weekend job currently). I'm resuming my grocery budget because I'll be taking my lunch everyday. I've a...
  13. Am I worrying to much?

    That is fantastic!!!! It worked out just in time!!! Woohoo!!!
  14. Planner for school

    That's close to what I have. I picked mine up at Walmart for around $2. It has the same weekly and monthly breakdown as the one you're getting. Lots of room for writing. :)
  15. Am I worrying to much?

    That is wonderful news!!! Sounds really, really good!!!!
  16. I had the same problem but if I hadn't submitted all of my transcripts, I would never have gotten in. Our school doesn't have a forgiveness policy and they don't tell you if your file is missing anything. You just get a letter later telling you 'so...
  17. Am I worrying to much?

    That's got to be a good sign!! Praying :)
  18. Potter and Perry 7th and 8th Editions

    They are different. The first half seems identical to the 7th but after that, they changed Units up, chapters are in different spots, etc. I went ahead and got the required 8th Ed.
  19. Have you had a Hep B titer?

    Not Hep B buy I had my titer for MMR and I'm no longer immune to mumps. Kind of makes you wonder why we get them in the first place lol
  20. FREE Kaplan RN Course Book

    Jennifer, you're being all kinds of awesome with these! Thank you!! :)
  21. Am I worrying to much?

    Keeping fingers crossed for you! It'll work out one way or another! :)
  22. What is the average of a nursing student?

    I'm 36 too. We have a range from just out of high school to a few people in their mid 50s. I've noticed more people my age going back to school. :)
  23. Am I worrying to much?

    Praying hard for you! So so sorry
  24. Am I worrying to much?

    Wow! I am shocked for you kayruhh! That does not make any sense! Hoping everything works out for you. Maybe when the rep calls you back, they can help out. :hug:
  25. Uniforms

    Our uniforms are all white 'Dove' uniforms **shudder. They are fairly thick and stiff but hey, I won't get cold. Our scrubs are royal blue. I like those :)
