i just took my boards on Sat and I felt this same way! I have over 50% SATA and mine shut off at 85. I was overwhelmed at just how hard it was. I got news today I passed! I'm sure you did just fine!

I would bring it up. There may be others that have the same issue, perhaps even did not pass due to a computer glitch. Oh..and Congrats on a successful semester!

Don't stress! You CAN do this if it's what you truly want! I was a single mom of two working full time and going to school full time. You will need your CNA in most places before you can get your RN. I believe it's a course that can be taken over a few months. Working as a CNA will allow you to have some flexibility on shifts so you can work around your school schedule. Many employers are wonderful at helping you this way in the health care field. As far as school full time or part you will have to decide for yourself. Will you have family or friends that can help with childcare so you can attend class and study? If not it can still be done, but takes a bit more creativity and dedication on your part. Also get in touch with your schools financial aid department to talk about options that may be available to you for finding school. Good of luck and remember..it may not be easy, but if you want it badly enough, it can be done!!

The biggest organizational skill I have is to get a calendar and plan everything. Schedule study time, class times, due dates etc. This has really helped me stay on top of things. I keep a 3 ring binder for each class and use dividers to organize materials for each.

Don't cram all of the information into the night before a test. Study a bit each day. What works for me is to go back over my notes the same day of class, then again the next day and then review all notes every couple of days. As you know this is a progressive knowledge base and not just a binge and purge of information that you might be used to in your prerequisite classes. Take it a little at a time and review. I think by feeling a little more prepared will also help reduce the stress. Good luck!

I have a similar schedule of working 6 12 hour night shifts in a row and attending school full time with an hour and a half drive each way. I too am a night person, so that's not an issue for me either. I also have a family so I have to incorporate all of their things as well. My suggestion is to plan and schedule your weeks. I try to stay ahead of assignments and get as much done on my days off homework wise as I can. While it's NOT easy by any stretch..it can be done. Make sure when it's time to sleep, don't waste time watching tv, facebook, etc. make the most of your time. I also had to set some limits meaning that I had to not attend some family things. With this method I am able to maintain a 4.0 average as well as be an active part of our student council and student nurses association. If you plan and stick with it, I believe you can be successful as well!! Good luck!

Make an appointment to meet with your instructor to go over your exam if you haven't already. This is the best way to know what you got wrong and why, this also gives you a chance to know what you did right! Good luck!! The fact that you are seeking help is fantastic!

It's the same for our tech positions here but we add in EKGs, rapid streps and UAs.

I too work full time plus and go to school full time, and have 2 kids who are very active in sports. It's not easy by any means. I use the same as others and put everything in a planner. I don't think I could do this if I personally was not fully committed and stuck to the plan like glue. Like the others have also said. If it's in the planner..you must do it then, use any free time you may have to read and stay ahead of the game. Many have done this successfully and even with honors. I currently have a 3.91 GPA. You have to sit down and prioritize your life..school, family, and then all of the others..ie clean house, fun activities, etc

You have to love those who demand things like that. Currently we have one who calls the ambulance like clockwork, rolls through the door asking for the remote to the tv, a warm blanket and dinner. Of course it's the same day/time each week as her "show" is on. Last week she was less than pleased when we discharged her early as her "show" was still on and she doesn't have cable at home. Sorry Hun, that is NOT a valid reason to clog up my ER room!

I'm 35 and have almost everything for my pre-reqs done. I work full time, am a single mom to two kids and am currently taking micro and adv. A&P. I've been accepted in with a 2016 start date. I'm hoping a spot opens up earlier. Good luck to everyone!! We can do this!!

Even being a small rural hospital you should have an administrator on call. I would start with o Your house supervisor and go up from there. It's not safe to leave a minor alone depending on the age of the child.

Taking that and AP 2 right now!! Good luck!

Well the Synthriod is for her thyroid and metaprolol is for her bp. It could be the admitting phys is thinking cva as well because they also ordered the swallow study. Pt to help her regain some strength on the affected side. I think her meds are throwing you, but it should be a combination of her home meds plus those he ordered for her while in hospital.

I do a late start the first week in Oct. I'm glad to meet each of you. I hope everyone is starting to get into the swing of things!!
