  1. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    I found micro harder than anatomy and physiology. I think it is different for everyone though. If you think it is an interesting subject, you will naturally do better in it than I did. I hated micro,...

  2. Who is currently waiting to hear?

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

    Keep me posted, Nellie! We are applying to the same school, I think. :) Good

  3. Does nursing school LocatioN matter?

    FDW630 replied to cdubs123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It can. One of the schools in my area is a big bonus on a resume to have attended. Shands in gainesville, teaching hospital for UF, has been known to pass up a university of florida graduate for one...

  4. Polk State College Spring 2013?

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Florida Nursing

    Im getting so anxious. Apparently they were overwhelmed with applications from valencia students for the Spring term and it is shaping up to be more competitive than the fall term. Also supposed to...

  5. Who is currently waiting to hear?

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

    Same here...it's killing me! I go from feeling really good about my chances to feeling really bad, and back again. I just want to know

  6. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

    FDW630 replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

    I'm not terribly overweight, and I was seriously uncomfortable just with vitals. Thank God we don't have to practice bed baths and things like that on each other. We get to use the manekins for that....

  7. How many must make 80% or better on each exam?

    FDW630 replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    Yep. We have to have an average of at least 80% on exams before they will even factor in our other work to adjust our grade, and less than an 80% on any one test is a fail for that test. So if we have...

  8. Is it just me???

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

    I don't eat pork anymore. You aren't

  9. I'm 23 and doing my pre-reqs...wondering...

    FDW630 replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are never too old to better yourself. I am 27 with two kids. I had a few prereqs, but I quit school when I got pregnant and waited 7 years for both of them to get to school-aged (hubby works...one...

  10. What to label your dividers?

    FDW630 replied to ko115's topic in General Students

    That would have been a better way to word my previous post. lol. Basically this.

  11. What to label your dividers?

    FDW630 replied to ko115's topic in General Students

    I've never been able to label anything until I actually start a class and see how it's going to go. I'm taking fundamentals this semester, and I have a 2" 3-ring binder with a set of 8 pocketed...

  12. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

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

    Same here. I plan on a minimum of BSN, leaning towards MSN and havent ruled out a doctorate, although I would be in no hurry to go there if I decide to do that, and odds are I wont. My priority is...

  13. How can I study?

    FDW630 replied to TamTam23's topic in General Students

    Hi! I am also in fundamentals (or intro as our school calls it) and we are also using potter and perry. We had our first exam yesterday and it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I had the same issue...

  14. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    FDW630 replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    I love this part of these threads! I follow them like it's a movie, anxiously awaiting. lol. Congrats to all you guys! I'm waiting on my letter from Polk, next "door". Our app period ended yesterday,...

  15. Lpn route or RN route?

    FDW630 replied to NVega's topic in General Students

    Look into a CC first though. Im a CC student and I took all of my gen ed classes online except the sciences that required labs. We have online, hybrid, fast track. CC doesn't automatically mean face...

  16. Part II: "Nurses Eat Their Young"

    FDW630 replied to adrikf's topic in General Students

    I get your point, but you lose me when you put nurses on a pedestal above other equally self-sacrificing professions. I have to say that having spent so much time in nursing textbooks lately, this has...

  17. Studying help! Best way to study fundamentals?

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you, everyone, for the tips! I made a 98!!!!! I might have shed a small tear when I saw my grade, and I definitely poured myself a celebratory glass of pino when I got home. :) Best feeling I've...

  18. Favorite Words

    FDW630 replied to Aimee2013's topic in General Students

    Sternocleidomastoid. I got from API and haven't found anything to top it yet.

  19. Keiser University for Nursing???

    FDW630 replied to kmarch1008's topic in Florida Nursing

    It costs about $15k to get an ADN from PSC. This includes uniforms, books, prereqs and core classes. Much cheaper than the other option now matter how you work it. That was my point...cheaper! Of...

  20. Who is applying for Fall 2013?

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

    It varies from school to school. My school allows you to apply as long as you have completed or are enrolled in all prereqs at the time of submission. My other school choice, though, did not. They had...

  21. Studying help! Best way to study fundamentals?

    FDW630 replied to FDW630's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you guys!! The only thing I have focused on for memorization has been things like normal vitals, infection control terms, benners stages etc. So far, the material has been fairly simple to...

  22. When did you start using NCLEX review books??

    FDW630 replied to heroldbe's topic in General Students

    No, you aren't. Thanks for that tip.

  23. Keiser University for Nursing???

    FDW630 replied to kmarch1008's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would at least make an attempt at PSC before I went the Keiser route. You never know. The TEAS score weighs more than your GPA in their points system, so you might be able to make up for a low GPA...

  24. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    FDW630 replied to Jamaicandol's topic in General Students

    Same here, and I am also the wife of a fireman. :) The joke at his department is that they are all married to either nurses or teachers...seems to pretty much be the case! Lol.Good

  25. Ethical/Personal Dilemma - What would you do?

    FDW630 replied to EMEddie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What a crappy situation to be in, OP. I think if it were me, I'd go to my manager at work (since that's where it happened), tell them what I know to be fact and let them handle it. If she heard it...
