I took a test recently that had questions "thrown out" which lowered my grade. I have learned that throwing out questions is common practice at my school. My experience in my prereqs has been that you maintain credit for the questions if you got them...

I'm a first semester student in a 2.5 yr BSN program. I don't think I've become crabby but I sure do think NS is making me delusional. I used to be so quick on my feet and fantastic at multitasking, now I can barely hold a conversation without gettin...

I would think that because you are eligible to reapply to your first school that you are still in good standing with them. Like you said, you were not dropped for any conduct violations, you just did not make the cut grade wise. If you were not in go...

Still a student here but I've already had to utilize some training. This was actually about 4 years ago, when I was fresh out of high school and EMT-B classes (didn't get certified), and newly married. We had a drive by outside of our apartment and a...

I just wanted to tell you both good luck because I am from Gainesville, but currently live in Va. I know lots of people that have gone through Santa Fe's program, I wish I could have too!

I volunteered at a local facility. Check out the website for the facility and see if you can find info on there or call the main line at the facility and ask them for the volunteer services office. We had to have a meeting with the coordinator, the T...

I remember going to an information session and having the person there tell me I could submit my application right then and there because I had everything with me that I needed. It was such a great feeling :) Best of luck to you!

I'm in patho and we're covering cancer right now so we're reading about how the atomic bombs affected the people of Japan and their genes and mutations. So yep, we are covering it to an extent (a very short extent).

I never understand why people get upset because you got a better grade than them. I would be asking "how did you study?" or "would you mind studying together" so I could see if your techniques were better than mine!

My nurses asst clinicals were like this at first (haven't started rn clinicals yet). My advice? Be proactive, ask the nurses if they need help with things, etc. I would even look to restock linens and supplies if its permitted. These things may seem ...

I got a fluid and electrolyte pocket guide from B&N for $20, and I have flash cards. We have a test on this info this week too.

Our pants are white as well. I wear high absorbency and also a panty liner (we are required to wear nude full bottom undies). I never had a problem.

My first day of class is Monday for my BSN program but we didn't get access to our syllabus for each class until this afternoon. I spent the last hour or so writing down quizzes and tests in my planner calendars, and making my to-do list for week 1 a...

Susieq, I'm feeling the same way but my prereqs took 5 years due to moving, hubby deploying, having to take a semester or 2 off BC I couldn't afford to keep going, and personal issues. So I'm really stressing because I feel like I will be the ultimat...

I wear mine on the neckline as my school, also, requires it to be above the waist and unobscured. :)

I also start Monday. I have moments where I completely forget about it and then moments when I think "oh my gosh!!!!" I can't believe its finally starting. Its been 6.5 months since I got my acceptance letter and I'm sooooo ready to start! Yay!

My school said in orientation that we're not allowed to sell our books until we graduate from the program. They said we will need them for reference later. Has anyone else's program said this? Did you keep all of your books? I was planning on keeping...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I was looking forward to get some of that money back for books but I would hate to bug my friend to borrow the copy I sold her :)

If you're anything like the homeschooled people I have met, I'm sure you will have no problem. It will take some adjusting to get used to the different styles of teaching you'll encounter but with a little hard work I'm sure you will do great. If you...

85.3 isn't bad at all! I scored an 81.7% my first time and like you I was disappointed but that put me in the 92nd percentile nationally so it wasn't too bad either. :) good job

I'm considering trauma or burn unit myself. But I'm a new nursing student and we'll see how I feel later down the road. :)

Goodness! I wish you so much luck with all of this! I am a younger wife (Navy) and am starting my 4th college in 2 weeks. We live in VA and last month my husband got orders to CA. It was by the grace of God and a really great Master Chief that we wer...

Unless you want to spend all your free time at the library writing papers and doing online homework/research, get a laptop. Look for sales right around the new year because of Christmas. I have an Asus tablet that has a docking keyboard so it looks j...

I work out. I'm a worrywart and stress easily so I work out 5/6 days a week. I am always in a great mood and so relaxed after a good, hard workout. :)
