  1. Quitting Nursing School

    FDW630 replied to Hargrove86's topic in General Students

    I respectfully disagree. I have a 4.0 right now in my program. I have no problem reading and comprehending, and I am pretty intelligent (at the risk of sounding arrogant maybe?). My stress comes from...

  2. I need HELP UNDERSTANDING CARE PLANS PLEASE!!!

    FDW630 replied to nette1022's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh Esme. ❤ I feel your pain, OP. I struggled immensely with care plans this semester...my second semester of doing them! I ended up requesting a private session with my course coordinator which...

  3. What does your countdown look like?

    FDW630 replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    1 exam, 1 practical final, 1 written final. No more lectures! A solid week of stress

  4. Help with double acceptance

    FDW630 replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    I'd definitely go for the new school. Consider the extra expense an investment. NCLEX pass rates speak for themselves. Get your money's

  5. Polk State College Nursing Program Fall 2013 (Adult Health 1)

    FDW630 replied to Sparkle_lite's topic in Florida Nursing

    The program keeps us busy busy busy! Get organized early. Clinicals are the hard part for me but that's because I'm just not comfortable talking to people I don't know. Everyone says you get over...

  6. Polk State College Nursing Program Fall 2013 (Adult Health 1)

    FDW630 replied to Sparkle_lite's topic in Florida Nursing

    You guys will both be fine with your scores. :) I got in this past spring's class with an 85 TEAS and a 3.28GPA. The lady in advising actually made a big deal about what a great score I had...lol. I...

  7. What happens when the majority fails?

    FDW630 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    That's how our professors are this semester. I don't contest many questions because when I miss them, it's usually because I honestly didn't know it. There are people in our class who contest every...

  8. What happens when the majority fails?

    FDW630 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    If those questions came from a question bank, sure. But what about those professors who write their own questions? I have seen quite a few really poorly worded questions. Misspellings and all. Our...

  9. What happens when the majority fails?

    FDW630 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    Our professors write their own exam questions so depending on the professor, if it is a high miss question that most of the students chose the same wrong answer for, they will review it and usually...

  10. Everyone:How do you keep yourself motivated when you just want to give up?

    FDW630 replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

  11. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    FDW630 replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Oh good

  12. Help with Power Point Slides

    FDW630 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I third (our fourth...) printing three to a page with space for notes, double-sided. I don't usually make more than quick little scribbles on my power points though. Anything more than that goes into...

  13. med math help

    FDW630 replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Of course not, but I don't run the program. We get what we need one way or another (through pharm in this case), and I will eventually end up with chemistry under my belt as I work for my BSN, so it...

  14. med math help

    FDW630 replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The school has a 99% NCLEX pass rate so it isn't holding us back. They do teach those med math points in pharmacology and the first semester's nursing core class, including solutions, etc. That's not...

  15. med math help

    FDW630 replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No. Chem is required for the BSN at our school, but it is a bridge program, so we do go through all of that med math and dosage without having chem, in a lot of cases. It is required to bridge, but it...

  16. med math help

    FDW630 replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure about OP, but I have never taken a chemistry class in my life. It was not required as a prerequisite, and I never even took it in HS. A math/chem tutor could be helpful here if your...

  17. polk county/west fl/peds

    FDW630 replied to chonyrn's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bradenton is busier than anywhere in Polk. :) Lakeland is worse than winter haven in my opinion. More to do, but more people, too. If you're coming from NYC, any town here is going to seem spacious....

  18. polk county/west fl/peds

    FDW630 replied to chonyrn's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ruskin and Parrish are both a pretty good commute to Polk too. Lakeland and winter haven are the two bigger towns here. Depends on what you like. Lake wales, fort Meade, bartow, babson park all are...

  19. One in a million

    FDW630 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    My husband's uncle passed away from this several years ago. So, so

  20. Out of town clinical sites?

    FDW630 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    Last semester I was lucky enough to get the only clinical site in my town. My school has two campuses that they split our program up on, one is a 25 min drive and the other is a 40 min drive. We don't...

  21. married/engaged/involved students, how are you juggling your relationship w/ school?

    FDW630 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    He couldn't go for ONE semester without cheating on you?? I don't have anything kind to say about that so I will move on. Just think about that though...it only took threeish months for him to step...

  22. Paying for Course syllabus?

    FDW630 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    Exactly. We spend our entire first 8hr lecture going over ever page, too. It amazes me that they have to go to such lengths. It is really convenient to have it all in one place, color-coded on card...

  23. Paying for Course syllabus?

    FDW630 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    We have course boxes we are required to have in print each semester. They include our syllabus, lab manuals, CPEs, and ADN manuals. All together, they fill a box the size of a shirt gift box. We can...

  24. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    FDW630 replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    Vera also makes backpacks ya know. I got the Vera tote on clearance from the outlets a while back. I got it as a beach bag/catch all and it turned out to also be perfect for me for school. So many...

  25. How much are you paying...

    FDW630 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    $1238 for 9 credits at a local state college. Last semester was about $1700 for 12. Thank goodness that was the only 12credit hour semester of the
