I was invited to the nursing honors society and everyone says it's a big deal to join. I've even heard that some nurses have been turned away from graduate school (with fantastic GPAs) because they weren't a member... I do plan on going to graduate s...

What shoes have you found that work best for you as a nurse. nursing student? I need some for when I start next month and I'm not sure what to buy! Thanks!

Mayah, my hubby bought me some Nikes for Christmas, but they aren't comfortable enough. I think at least these are more for looks, lol

I appreciate all your feedback! I have to wear all white as well and I'm not particularly liking the nursing shoes. Thanks everyone!

Congrats to you! I got in to UCF Cocoa Program!

I took a nursing success skills course last semester and it really helped me with better study habits and being more organized. I can't explain everything here but I will tell you a few. For a single suject, converge class notes and notes that you ta...

A&P1 is a lot of memorization of bones and such. It's really not too bad but I picked up "Pocket Anatomy and Physiology" by Shirley Jones. It has a section for bones, muscles, the nervous system, the brain the heart and so on. Great little pocket...

Great topic to start! I would love to find people who may be going to school with me. Olivia, I bought this book off of Amazon, it's called "5 TEAS practice tests" by Mcgrall Hill. It has five tests in it to practice. Also, I had to brush up on my g...

I got the same thing, man-nurse, but mine is at a different campus. Good luck with that and let me know how it goes!

Thank you, too! I came here looking for the same answer :)

Here, Becky: Completing the square | Quadratic functions | Khan Academy Maybe that will help you. He explains things really well!

I hit up the math lab like crazy and also used Khan's academy (online website). Very helpful!

If you quit no, you've wasted more than money; you've wasted much of your time even prearing to get IN to the nursing school. Just becuase you're in an undesirable situation right now doesn't mean it's going to stay that way. I say stick with it and ...

If you take all those classes in the same semester, make sure you have great teachers. I am in statistics and chem right now and it takes some work! A lot of math in both classes, but really if you have good teachers and devote the time, you should b...

I have a friend who got her BSN over a year ago and she told me she only makes .25 more than the nurses with an ASN. Is this really the difference? I hardly see how going to school for two extra years will only get you a quarter more an hour.

Your right... I need job security and either way I am going to have to sacrifice. maybe it's better to go for the higher degree now if I can and take less time in the long run. Thank you all for your input. It is very much appreciated :)

Hello All, I was just accepted to two schools. I was hoping that someone could help me out with the schedules for each because this will determine which school I go to. The First is Brevard Community College in Palm Bay for the ASN degree. The secon...

That's great! What is your name? I know a girl who was in my anatomy class that got in as well so if I go there maybe we can all study together! UCF has two cuts and I made the first one but now I have to go for an interview to see if they like me.

I can do the BSN online??? Is that an additional two years or how much extra? The community college I'm going to is switching to a university. Their ASN is 5 semesters and then it's an extra semester after that for the BSN, so not much of a differenc...

Ruby, I also had a friend in the community college program and they hired her as a nurse tech after her first semester. If she passes the NCLEX in a few weeks they are hiring her on. It's just a really hard decision because my son is so young... he'l...

Thank you all! I guess I just thought it would be more pay but having more job opportunity is well worth it. llg, I'm not worried about immediate cash in my pocket. As of right now I have no job and am going to school FT so even just having the ASN i...
