  1. Math Test for every class?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to kellyk21's topic in General Students

    Ours is a 100 percent pass or you are out of the program. Not even just a semester, but the entire program. Scary stuff. But you do have 3 times to take

  3. Dosage Calculations Test

    RubberDuckieLove replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also had to teach myself. I got three tries and has to make a 100 percent. And we are tested every semester on the first day of class. Find a good drug calculations work book and work through

  4. Help with dosage calculations

    RubberDuckieLove replied to nursingstudent2015's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You would give 150mg per dose.... As ordered. With that being said, this problem needs more info for it to be valid. What form is the medicine in? Tablets?

  5. Health Insurance

    RubberDuckieLove replied to kissesnhugs's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. I know ours doesn't require it. If you don't want to carry it, then you just have to sign a

  6. How many of you...

    RubberDuckieLove replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    We take ATI every semester and its pass or fail the

  7. ADN students...how quickly will you enroll for BSN?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    Since I have to have my license to enter a RN to BSN, I will as soon as possible once I pass boards. We graduate in July, can sit on boards by August and then I will go right

  8. Can old resources still be useful?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Students

    Probably not. I think I would just take it back to see how things were done back then; but it would be unwise, and probably unsafe, to use that as an academic

  9. First Semester Clinicals

    RubberDuckieLove replied to rocababy119's topic in General Students

    Mine was on a cardiac floor. Just depends on the

  10. C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    RubberDuckieLove replied to 2016hun's topic in General Students

    Depends on how much the school puts emphasis on GPA. My school looked first at GPA, followed by TEAS score, and then finally number of pre reqs

  11. Ideas for Classes?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    What about Spanish for the Health Care

  12. How much to study?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    When I first started my program, our nursing support faculty told us to try and do at least 6 hours a day! Like everyone in class, I just nodded my head and thought to myself 'I surely do not need 6...

  13. If I fail last semester, can I transfer elsewhere out-of-state?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    Highly doubtful. Your pre-reqs will more than likely transfer, but you will more than likely have to go through and re-apply to the program and start from square

  14. A Graduate Nurse at Last!!!!!!!!!!!

    RubberDuckieLove replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on your most amazing achievement! Best of luck to

  15. Clinicals - - what to expect?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to livmoore89's topic in General Students

    Prepare yourself for lots of basic care. Lots of it. But it's a good place to start. On my first day of clinical I was paired with a nurse tech and we did a lot of AM care...made beds, helped with...

  16. Sterile Gloving Procedure

    RubberDuckieLove replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. Sterile Gloving Procedure

    RubberDuckieLove replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's strange. The entire package is considered sterile. They are not going to just sterilize the outside of the gloves and not do the insides. Is it even possible to to

  18. Need advise on Plan B if i dont get accepted?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    If becoming a nurse is your passion, then why settle for plan B? You are doing to regret it later and wished you had followed your dreams. I suggest taking the summer and getting any other pre reqs...

  19. Is it presumptuous to have your steth engraved RN when you're a student?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    I have that scope!! I love the rainbow head! Good

  20. Medications

    RubberDuckieLove replied to teshiahart's topic in General Students

    I use the Mosby's pharmacy memory cards. I keep it in my purse and pull it out whenever I have a spare moment. I also make my own drug flash cards with drug class, action, therapeutic effect, side...

  21. should i take other classes along with nursing courses

    RubberDuckieLove replied to hkramer's topic in General Students

    If you can, and have the means, I would highly suggest getting as many core classes done before the nursing classes. I did it that way and I am very happy that I

  22. Can't afford nursing school

    RubberDuckieLove replied to zhightower's topic in General Students

    Exactly. If the BON allows graduates with a degree from that school to sit on the boards, then it's considered accredited by that state, and their license will be considered valid. I think we all can...

  23. Buy or Rent nursing texts?

    RubberDuckieLove replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    I always purchase mine used. When I read, I like to highlight and write in the margins. I also do the questions in the back of each chapter. But that's just the way that I learn

  24. LPN or RN school...serious help. :(

    RubberDuckieLove replied to AM326's topic in General Students

    It all boils down to how much money you want to spend. Baby steps are fine, but those steps are gonna cost you. Good
