Is anyone starting into the RN program this spring? I am getting nervous and wondered if any of my classmate are on here? Thank you!

This is spot on. Couldn't have said it any better! (May have thrown in a paragraph about the zillion times we cry and say we can't do this anymore..lol)

I have an IPad mini also and there is an app called Notability that will allow you to record lectures and take notes. I would highly recommend it! :)

Hi Laurie121! In the first problem, you need to convert the ml/hr to gtts/min. Here is how I would set up the first problem.. 125ml/1hr x 15 gtts/1ml x 1hr/60min. If you cancel out what needs to be cancelled, you will get to gtts/min. I hope this...

Wow... I am so sorry your experience was like that. I found just the opposite in my program. I have met people and we are the best of friends, they are like my second family. Even people that aren't in my specific class are willing to help. "We a...

I had my wound care check off and I have to retake it due to the fact that I broke sterile field. My instructor told me that part of my lab coat entered into the field, thus contaminating it. I didn't realize it had happened when I was performing the...

I have to wear one.

I would recommend getting "Fluid and Electrolytes Made Easy" and read that whenever you have a chance.

I am going to say an IPhone. Even if you can't use is when you are at the hospital, it is so helpful with studies, organization and just flat out handy. I know they are a lot of money, but they are worth every penny. One of the less expensive thi...

Congratulations on your decision! You won't regret it. I loved A&P and had a fantastic professor. I hope your experiance is equally as good. I am in my first semester of the program and have used had to look back at my A&P notes to refre...

I am shocked by your attitude OP. Please rethink your choice of being a Nurse. Compassion is such a huge part of the job and it may be something you are lacking.

And when people try to give you advice.... It is too long for you to read...

Balloon face? I hope an adult nursing student wouldn't stoop to such a level.

Wow... I too didn't know what that meant. OP, perhaps you should look towards a new profession if you are not willing to "listen" to what people have to say. It is a MUST for a nurse.

Congratulations! How exciting!! I have my first one next week. Any tips on how you studied? All this information is so overwhelming.

We have this one on our wall and surround it with all of our accomplishments in frames. Our kids (and their friends!) take pride in getting something "On the wall". "Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right"- Henry Ford

Wow, that is high. I just bought mine at the college bookstore and the top was $14, Lab coat was $19 and the pants were $10 and the patches were included.

Could anyone tell me what the NEONI test is? I start my clinicals at the end of the month and I received an email from my instructor telling me I have to take this test and that I get one chance to pass it at a 90%.

I am totally with you! I don't start until the 22nd but as each day passes, I get more and more nervous. I went to the bookstore this week and picked up my syllabus. Holy crap, it was 269 pages long! As I was reading through it, I really started...

Oh my goodness! THANK YOU!! I am starting into my RN program at the end of the month and this will surely come in handy. Thank you again for sharing!

Hi Everyone! I am starting in January (yay!) and have been looking at all the apps available for my Iphone. Do any of you have a favorite or one that you feel has helped you a lot with your studies? Thank you!

Try not to worry too much and check with your school. I too am starting clinicals but in January. My college will let us start as long as we have at least started the series and continue to get rest of them on time. The only way we are kicked out ...

I haven't taken MedSurg yet but I have taken Micro and Math Med Dosage. The one thing that helped me in Micro was going to see a tutor. I lived in our tutoring center and passed with a B (1 point from an A, dang it!) If your school has one, I would...

Fantastic! I will look into getting that series. Thank you so much!
