  1. attn ALL RN's !! serious help

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to dreamerxo's topic in General Students

    Will you explain what you thought was mean? I read through all the posts and I thought they offered helpful and constructive advice. Not all good advice will leave people with warm and fuzzy...

  2. Simulation Exam help

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Practice a lot. When you go to the lab, have a mock test or simulation. It would be best if an instructor could watch you do the demonstration and you both pretend it was a real test for you, but if...

  3. In need of advice for RN prequisites...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Briz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a tough one because the school you go to will determine the prereqs you need. Add in the fact that you will be going to a nursing school over seas, then I really can't say. I would think the...

  4. Who else doesn't have or need nutrition class as their pre req?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Studyhardpls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nutrition wasn't a prereq at my school, but after you were admitted to the nursing program we had to take a required nutrition course just for nurses. If you don't have to take it and have any room in...

  5. Getting C's in Science Courses

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to PhyliciaJane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Umm they kinda do. Without good grades you can't get into nursing school and without good grades in nursing school you can't graduate to be a nurse. I agree with the PP who said you need to change how...

  6. Anatomy and Physiology help

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to #scrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Scott Benson. I wouldn't spend extra money on study guides for this class, especially when there's such a wide diversity of free information. I have bought many study guides for classes...

  7. Thinking about minoring in biology...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to marbar14's topic in General Students

    I agree with the PPs. I have a BS and 2 minors (one is in biology) and none of that helped me with a nursing career. I think using the extra time for career related work experience will benefit you...

  8. Anyone Recommend Hurst to Help Before/During Nursing School?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to usfgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my 2 cents. I know many people will say go for it and that it doesn't hurt to practice and study right away. But I say wait. If you haven't had any nursing classes, then you won't have enough...

  9. How likely is success in summer classes?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is do-able. You HAVE to be disciplined. Treat it as a full time job- and then some. Do not let yourself get behind and get help as soon as you don't understand

  10. Denied for a mistake made by the University

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to meganko27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!! Similar thing happened to me-- I was denied to a school because of a typo (someone at the university typed in my ACT score wrong). When I called to find out why I was denied, they looked...

  11. Anatomy and Physiology help

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to #scrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't imagine having to take A&P online! I would have struggled without my mentor and the long hours I spent in the lab studying models. Here are some websites that I love so much I still...

  12. Help! How do I pass general chem?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to rmariee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read the chapters and take notes on them. Work out every practice problem in the chapter and at the end. Ask for help. You can use a tutor, but honestly I have found the professor to be best. You...

  13. Failed by 2 points my last semester.

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to pudu12's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm sorry. I would say try appealing, but if it doesn't work out then repeat the year. Maybe you could talk to someone and just repeat some of the classes. Repeating all of them sounds...

  14. Not really sure I want to be a nurse

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing isn't for everyone. And that's ok. I have had many classes I didn't care for, but I still loved nursing and I still wanted to be a nurse. Along the way I have questioned whether I had what...

  15. Bio before chem?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter which one you take first. You will not need chem to do bio. If you want to take bio over the summer then do it. Advisers are not always right and you don't have to always follow...

  16. Horrible Professor!

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder if he is tenure. I'm sure a lot of people have had a teacher like that. I had a physiology teacher that was great in lecture, he always tried to make sure everyone understood what he was...

  17. Can somebody help me correct my spellings/grammars pls about a pt harassing me!

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to babeblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the previous post- way too many errors! Honestly, you are better off not sending a letter like that. It is too detailed, and I would think it will not reflect well on you in the end....

  18. OB/Peds studying ahead

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to bkcasey46's topic in General Students

    RLtinker did a great job! If you are short on time, or just don't know where to begin, I'd say start with the basic normals. It really is true that you don't know what is abnormal if you don't know...

  19. Old edition textbooke?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to kmac3414's topic in General Students

    If you can find the previous edition, I would buy that. (I still say email your instructors if you are concerned, but usually the editions vary very little.) I have used many international versions...

  20. Old edition textbooke?

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to kmac3414's topic in General Students

    Most older versions are reasonably similar, and many teachers do not use the newest textbook available. By default, my university would tell students that the textbook that is required for a class is...

  21. Tips for Surviving the 1st Semester of Nursing School

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    You are absolutely right about not getting sick! I became a germ freak because I was so concerned about catching something. Not only could I not afford to miss a class, but I couldn't afford to miss...

  22. How many of you...

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    We are required to complete Evolve case studies through out each semester. Then required to complete the online practice HESI. At the end of every semester we have to take the HESI, and the conversion...

  23. Was I penalized too much for my pharmacology sim final? URGENT !

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to stargirl018's topic in General Students

    I have to agree with the previous responses. What happened to your friend, or anyone else, is irrelevant. I know it might not seem fair, but that's life (and nursing school!). I would meet with the...

  24. ROLL CALL!!!!! Where are our WV nurses????

    Shelby, BSN, RN replied to Redneckmedic63's topic in General Nursing

    Newbie here!! I'm getting ready to start nursing school in August at Marshall Univ. SO EXCITED
