I hope everyone did well on the final. We have one more exam, then we can relax. Merry Christmas!

I want to pull my hair out over clinical paper work too, but I can't because all I want to do is vomit because of the stress of it all. I received unsatisfactory after long hours as well I am at the end of my rope and just about to let it go

The only good thing I can say about the first semester of nursing school, is it is a Great weight loss plan! 15 lbs down. Will the stress let up at all second semester? Silly question, I know.

I understand how you feel. I am a first semester student, I am doing ok with the book work. But preparation for clinical is about to push me over the edge and out the door

We have no study guides or power points. We get 4 lectures at 2 hours each to get everything covered. We make whatever notes we can, the lecture is very fast. Our last exam was over 26 chapters, the next one is 22. It is indeed stressful to try and figure out what and how to study. I am happy just to make the 78% needed to pass. Some days I want to just give up, but as long as I am passing I will keep on trying to do my best. Hang in there, and good luck!

Ok, all you Friday clinical students, lets hear how it went :)

Went and got a flu shot today, my Dr recommended I have it for clinical. I had better not catch the flu! Please can I stop getting the shots, I think it is my turn to give some

Trying to decided if I should get out now, or keep going! Ugh....

I keep checking paws. I thought we would know right away, but I guess not

Congrats, so happy for you! Keep up the great work! In the program I am in we have to get 94% for an A. We took our first exam today and I am still waiting, wanting at least 78% to pass.

Had my vital signs skills check off today! Oh the stress of it all.

I used Taber's online cyclopedic medical dictionary doe the glucose questions. I think the medical surgical book had some info as well. My question is are we supposed to know how to BP for clinical, I am having a hard with that

I had clinical already and no one said anything about the flu shot being required. You will be fine without it. Have fun tomorrow.

RN2b, I feel the same way about it taking longer than it really should. We are probably over thinking it. I didn't use page numbers when I did my citing. I only did a reference page at the end of my objectives. SheriWood, thanks for all the tips.

Good luck in the morning:)
