Definitely pay $4.99 for the GoodNotes app on your iPad. It's amazing, and I use it everyday for every class! I second the advice about nursing books. I mostly buy an edition older, and I have never...
I liked this thread in the beginning because it showed a different side of nursing school and was a bit hopeful that not all of it is a nightmare all the time. But then the negativity and the doom and...
Same here! I'm in my second semester, OB/Pedi rotation, and last semester was fundamentals and pharm. I'm worked I'm not being prepared, but then again my classmates aren't all cruising through so...
