    Need Some Encouragement

    springchick1 replied to umslalum's topic in Operating Room

    I do a lot of peer interviews at work and from the time we interview them to the time they are actually hired can take up to a month. Once we give our feedback, our manage has to make a decision,...

    Dosage Calculation made incredibly easy is a good one. And if I can make a suggestion, learn the dimensional analysis way of doing dosage calculation. I also like the Pearson Review and Rationale...

    springchick1 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I'm not placing words in your mouth. That's what you said. I quoted you. I think you just need to realize that every nursing program is different and every nursing student is different. Some are...

    Graduate Nurse

    springchick1 replied to Happy_RN123's topic in General Students

    I would start now. We don't have new graduate programs where I work. We take new students any time of the year. I'm actually not sure what that type of program is. Good luck in your job

    Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    springchick1 replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    I only had 3 questions on the TEAS that were chemistry. As for whether or not you need to take it before you start nursing school, you will have to ask your school that. Each school has different...

    springchick1 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program and we have students who aren't willing to change diapers, bathe patients, or other basic care. We also have some great BSN programs where the students bust a$$. What it boils...

    Jeff State Fall 2013 hopefuls

    springchick1 replied to Katty4982's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The cut off score is different each semester. It just depends on how many people apply. One semester it was 180 and the next semester it was 185. It really just varies. I am in the nights and...

    Pharmacology Flash Cards

    springchick1 replied to Lovely86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I always make my own. Writing it out helps me retain the information and that way you get the information that you want and can put things in your own

    Nusing School computer

    springchick1 replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    I actually have both but the only reason I do is because I already had my lap top. I use my computer to do all of my paperwork. I use iPod mini for everything else! That being said, you can buy a...

    getting a C in 2 pre- reqs for nursing.

    springchick1 replied to 2016hun's topic in General Students

    We had over 700 applications for 68 spots. Our A&P grades and our math grades are some of the main criteria for acceptance. I would recommend retaking your A&P if you can to try and bring...

    Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    springchick1 replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    Why does it matter if it's a BSN

    I passed, you didnt.

    springchick1 replied to FutureRNKKP's topic in General Students

    I disagree. Just because she is doing well doesn't mean it is her responsibility to help others who are struggling. I am doing well in nursing school but I don't have the time or energy to carry...

    Grade Appeal

    springchick1 replied to nystudent13's topic in General Students

    Like PP asked, how many people missed the question? If the majority of the class missed it, then maybe they will look into your appeal. If very few people missed it, it more than likely wont be...

    Ipad or ipad mini???? Cant decide!

    springchick1 replied to cnoto34's topic in General Students

    I have a mini and absolutely LOVE it. It's the perfect size for me. I've got all my apps on it and if you are worried about the writing being to small, you can make it bigger. It is also VERY light!...

    How much to study?

    springchick1 replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    Depends on the class and your study habits. For me I didn't have to spend as much on things I could strictly memorize, like Pharmacology. It's when you get into the critical thinking classes that I...
