  1. Calling all moms

    FDW630 replied to Lolita34's topic in General Students

    I am a mom to two little boys - 6 and 7. My husband works a 24/48 shift schedule and I am a student/stay at home mom. Im going back to school now that both of my kids are in elementary school. I do...

  2. Application Denied!

    FDW630 replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im so sorry. I also live about that distance from Orlando. I got in to my program with a 3.28. I was even in the top-half of the acceptance pool. Not sure which direction from Orlando you are, but...

    Oh, missed that as well! Woops. Never looked at the

  4. PREGNANT while in nursing school??

    FDW630 replied to lovinla23's topic in General Students

    Two years is a very small amount of time in your life...I would wait until you graduate. Everyone has offered up great reasons! Pregnancy is so unpredictable. You can be upbeat going into it,...

  5. How much extra time do you spend in the Nursing Lab?

    FDW630 replied to edatri's topic in General Students

    We are required to spend at least 2 hours a week in our lab, outside of scheduled lab time. We have to sign off on our time sheets for it. I usually put in an extra hour or so on top of that. I...

  6. Must-have gadgets for the nursing student

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    I do the looseleaf-to-spiral bound thing too. I know that works for me, Im just worried that it wont be practical with the volume of work in the program! Regarding pens...the fat, free ones that you...

  7. Must-have gadgets for the nursing student

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Of course when I ask for recommendations on some helpful gadgets for school, I am referring to things that make learning and understanding the material easier and more efficient, not something to...

  8. Must-have gadgets for the nursing student

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone! I am the pen and paper type also. I guess for now I will stock up on awesome pens and notebooks (Im ashamed to admit that this excites me) and get a decent laptop. That was a plan...

  9. Must-have gadgets for the nursing student

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    If I could put every chapter to the tune of "Naturally" by Selena Gomez, I could be top of my class and make it to my half-marathon in Feb.

  10. Must-have gadgets for the nursing student

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    So I'm not the only one! :) I study the same way...outlining my chapters. If I do study, I study my outlines. I can spend hours in Staples. My husband thinks it's ridiculous. He wants me to have an...

  11. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    FDW630 replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Chemistry! The science section is heavy on basic chemistry. The math mostly basic math. Just long division and multiplication that took time. A few fractions and only two algebra FOIL problems. It...

  12. What is happening?

    FDW630 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    Oh yes!!! LOTS of test Qs come from boxes! Taking tests in nursing school is a totally different way of testing than in prereqs. They make you think and work things out. It requires understanding the...

  13. What is happening?

    FDW630 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't waste my time studying a book that I'm not going to be tested on this soon. Fundamentals is fairly basic. However, it is a lot of material to cover in a small window of time. I'm on the...

  14. Clinical Failure

    FDW630 replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my opinion, nursing school rules are NOT outrageous. There are legitimate reasons for all of them. Nail polish is unhygienic. You're lucky you get wear it at all. Is it really that difficult for...

  15. Valencia CC Spring of 2011

    FDW630 replied to michellej_1012's topic in Florida Nursing

    If the fundamentals book is Potter and Perry, then yes there is a new edition. I have the 8th edition. Generally, there is no difference in editions besides a chart moved on a page or an extra...

  16. Supplies

    FDW630 replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    Definitely highlighters! Several colors. I have a 3-ring binder just for my syllabus. Another for lecture notes and materials sectioned out by exam with tabbed dividers. A folder for my clinical...

  19. Polk State College Spring 2013?

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Florida Nursing

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yay for you too! Are you in the Lakeland Intro

  21. Why do I still feel crappy when I know I made the right call?

    FDW630 replied to laurie0313's topic in General Students

    I think as a parent, it is never a good feeling to possibly have another child taken from their parents. Even when you KNOW that it is what is best for that child, and you KNOW that you are doing the...

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Florida Nursing

  23. Coffee Is My Medicine

    FDW630 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't know how people drink it all the time! I could use the energy I get from a cup or five before school/clinical, but between the urgent stomach issues and the hot flashes/sweats it gives me, I...

    FDW630 replied to Melela's topic in General Students
