I am trying to figure out how to approach a situation in my program in which a nursing assistant course from last year (Fall of 2012) is being retroactively added to my BSN gpa. To keep things short and sweet (and not provide too much identifying inf...

KelRN215, thank you for the response. I suppose I misspoke (or rather mistyped, haha). I should have said we are learning to be professionals (Professional Nursing anyone?) and I feel that perpetuating this "Say one thing, do another" thing isn't pro...

Thank you for the input Akulahawk. I will look at this as a learning opportunity for the world of professionalism :) And when I get in the programs Honor Society, I will have even more reason to proud of myself

Technically I guess its a private college, its owned by a large network of hospitals in the area. It is nationally accredited.

SlinkyHeadCNA, I understand what you mean. If it comes down to be a big issue, Im going to leave well enough alone, but to me its the principle of the thing. We are supposed to be professionals and I feel like if you tell me one thing, I expect that ...

Thank you StudentOfHealing. I know exactly what you mean by getting involved in program politics. This will be my junior year and I have tried very hard up to this point to keep my head down and a target off my back. I am going to approach the situat...

From a 3.7 to a 3.4, which may not be significant to some, but it is for me.

I have the current edition of the Saunders Comprehensive review. Great book!

I have a tablet (transformer prime) that has a real keyboard that attaches and turns it into something like a netbook. It also comes with word, ppt, and excel on the tablet, for free. i love my tablet.... But take it from me, I wish I had bought a li...

Binders with dividers. One binder for each class, then its broken down into 3 or 4 sections depending on the class. It will be class info (syllabus, schedule, etc), notes (which are actually ppts in the outline form with my notes added in), and then ...

PS. I have Mortons neuromas in both feet, and the dansko shoes never cause me problems. Try to buy them from a store where they can size you properly (somewhere like The Walking Company).

My school has a similar description as yours for shoes, and Dansko shoe with a back are allowed. Your safest bet is to contact someone in the department and ask them. Chances are Dansko shoes are allowed. :)

This series is GREAT. I have the Patho one and will be purchasing some others for my upcoming semesters. Everything is laid out in outline form, the questions are NCLEX style, and the rationales and strategies are great. Nursing Reviews and Rational...

My husband told me the same thing, repeatedly. He has been deployed most of the past year so all he knows is what I tell him, and hes really been surprised to hear how crazy some of it has been. He comes home soon and will finally be able to help wit...

Fundamentals - 3 cr Fundamentals lab - 3 cr Gerontology - 2 cr Med Calc - 1 cr Pharm - 3 cr Diets 1 - 1 cr (2) 5 hour clinicals a week. EEK!

Good decision :) You might find out later that someone else chose to report her to the school. Either way, karma will catch her one day.

During our orientation my school really pounded it into our heads that we have to watch EVERYTHING we post everywhere online. Any badmouthing of the facilities, patient information, anything, could lead to dismissal from the program. They even recomm...

I got a reviews and rationales book for patho, it is by Maryann Hogan. It has been great for the extra testing practice. Also, definitely start reviewing early if you can, like the previous posters said. Good luck!

I spend atleast an hour at the gym about 6 days a week. I need the break from the craziness of school and I do a lot of strength training which allows me to really work out the stress. Clinical days are harder for me, because Im exhausted by the time...

Yeah I failed over spring break too. I planned to write a paper (thats now due in a week) and get all of my reading for the following week done. I went out of town to visit family, so I only got a smidge of my reading done. I spent the weekend before...

Haha yes I know that feeling. It took me 5 years to get my associates degree, obviously, and I was SO OVER IT by the time I finished in December. You will get there soon. Are you close enough to maybe take classes at Thomas Nelson CC too? If you didn...

I just bought one of Maryann Hogan's Pearson Reviews & Rationales books for my Pathophysiology class. Holy moly, why didn't I know about this book in the beginning of my semester?? I LOVE this book. They have several other ones for other courses,...

Hi Heather, I am in VA also! My husband has been in the Navy 7 years, we've been married almost 6 years, and I'm at my 3rd school since we got married. I had the same problem that not all of my classes from Florida transferred, and I had been on trac...

Believe me I was furious. I actually had a panic attack because I was so upset. I contacted the professor about it but it will not be changed. It was very disheartening for me as a first semester student, but I've learned to buck up. Our next test is...

Did your grade go down or stay the same? If it stayed the same, I would just take it. I recently had an instructor throw out questions and my grade went down as a result, I would much rather keep my original grade but its just how it worked out. I, t...
