  1. How to study properly?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ABDinelli's topic in General Students

    Also, I don't write notes on things I already know and I don't write vocabulary words I already know. Why? Because nursing tests aren't about knowing the content, but knowing how to apply for that...

  2. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    So far this week I've learned, nursing school is not that bad, and it is. It's a lot of work, but because of the many tips and advice I've read here on AN over the past 2 to 3 years makes me feel more...

  3. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    AspiringNurseMW replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I've been in nursing school all of 3 days and I already feel this! Cellphones and emails and availability galore! One instructor says her phone is on silent, so we can text her literally 24/7. Our...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ABDinelli's topic in General Students

  5. How to study properly?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ABDinelli's topic in General Students

    I started outlining the whole chapter. But now I have power points and our nursing manual as guides. Our manual breaks down /includes learning outcomes for every subject. So unless it's on the power...

  6. Help: Case Study Guidance

    AspiringNurseMW replied to t.gibson1's topic in General Students

    First thing I'm going to tell you (because I don't start nursing school until Monday so I have no ideas what the answers are) is that AN is not going to do your homework, so you are going to have to...

  7. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I have not had the flu vaccine in YEARS. Until yesterday. Why? Because I'm starting nursing school. Flu vaccine is either required or you must wear a mask during clinicals. Regardless of my beliefs,...

  8. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I also decided that I will be bidding goodbye to my Facebook app on Sunday when I start school. But I can't bring myself to remove AN app, I mean obviously that would be a not smart move,...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to shortysgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college also uses a points system. But each point system is unique to every school, so only your advisor would be able to answer

  10. Failed a class - should I appeal??

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    Here's the thing. I personally keep track of my grades during the entire semester. If I saw myself trending for anything lower than a B, THAT'S when I would begin reaching out to my instructor to...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    *my teeth are not in the best condition. This is really sad, considering I'm not even 30 yet. *I've decided to blame genetics for this, as both my parents have had extensive dental work done before...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Its a lot. I wouldnt consider going into solo HB practice until my kids are grown/able to care for themselves/eachother when I have to go on call. Even then, I would prefer a partnership or even a...

  16. NP pay, does RN experience matter?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Veigar3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I've heard on AN usually the answer is no, it likely wont. Reason being is that it's experience in a completely different role. Sure you have 10 years experience as a nurse, but you still...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    AspiringNurseMW replied to nurse2324's topic in General Students

    This may be a case of you should really make the best of it. It doesn't sound like the area is bad, but just that you are unhappy there. I think the method you propose is round-about, is adding...
