Well guys, after 3 years of struggle, I managed to graduate nursing school. I should be taking my NCLEX sometime in august. After that though, I'd like to start working ASAP (who doesn't? haha). Now, unless strong connections are in play, I highly do...

Thankfully, I did. I did so the minute my registration opened up!

Looks like its gonna be bio 51 and med surg. Just when ya think it gets easier.... Oh well, anyway the third test is coming up! We are being tested on: Wound care Asepsis Heat and cold Nutrition Urinary elimination Fecal elimination

Was this for the summer or winter module? On cunyfirst, Medgar evers is showing no winter classes, at all, for anything.

I tried, nothing. They kept telling me to try an e permit, ignoring me after i had told them repeatedly that there are no e permits avaible for winter bio 51 anywhere else. That department is unprofessional, and needs to be looked into, immediately. ...

It's utterly ridicoulous how this school runs itself. I was unable to get a winter class for bio 51, and it doesnt look like there are any e permits for the winter available. I'm either forced now to take bio 51 with nur 21 (overstress myself and mos...

We're almost there guys, keep pushing, no matter what.

Did better this time around :) but man oh man was that test tricky! They literally open the textbook, throw a dart in it, and test you based on that! Its crazy!

Jess, you have no idea how helpful you have been, I really appreciate what you sent me, very big help. :) Test on monday, good luck everyone.

So the second test is coming up, and we are being tested on medications, oxygenation, physical assesment, pain management, pulse oximetry, HFA/MDI, sensory deficit, activity/rest, and hygiene. Any advice???

Eh, not too bad, I got an 80. I should have gotten a 90 but, i second guessed myself on a number of questions. Turns out every question i second guessed myself on, my original choice was right!!! But i'm just glad I passed.

We are also being tested on teaching, safety, delegation, and diagnostic testing. Several hundred pages worth of reading!!!

On tablets! shouldn't make a big difference though, I'd assume. Do you know off hand if they assign an equal number of questions per topic? like 5 for apesis, 5 for vital signs, etc...

brutal. Our first exam is monday, ive been doing nothing but practice questions and reading. my god, there is so so so much reading. do you have any advice for the first exam? We are being tested on health assessment, nursing process, apesis, vital s...

And to (most likely) close it off, whats the best piece of advice you could give to a student taking both bio 12 and Fundamentals of nursing? Thank you for all your helpful advice, jess.

The school is telling us to get the 9th edition of the Kozier Fundamentals of Nursing, however, I already have the 8th. Is the 8th just as good? does the 9th have any more info we may need?

do the nur 17 and 18 professors write out alot of notes? a simple notebook would do then, right?

so just to be sure, I can hand in all the same papers( flu shot, drug test report, bloodwork, everything) that I handed in for this semester (fall 2014) for January, the next semester, (spring 2015) but i cannot for semester after that? ( fall 2015)

Classes begin September 4, right?

The semester is slowly creeping up, guys. I can already tell I wont be having much of a social life...I pray its worth it all in the end!

Thank you for the all the help, jess. No sadly, day clinical. Do you happen to know what the hours are? (usually)

mnot88, i dont think there is, as far as i know!

Is the outfit and textbooks NEEDED by the first class?

Quick question guys. How much does a scrub set + shoes typically go for?

Orientation is the last week of august. I have the same concerns too. I need to plug in my course codes to cunyfirst so that finiancial aid is aware that I will be a full time student! I hope this doesnt cause anyone any issues...
