  1. Passing NCLEX easily with UWorld

    So you want to kick this RN NCLEX? i thought about what seemed to be the most reasonable and helpful aid for me. I tried a new NCLEX study program (no names). It was horrible. I had to report some of the answers as being wrong to the study program p...
  2. how many feel like me

    Winding up my first year and I love what I am learning. With that being said (something positive) I am exhausted. I am on my spring break and they (the teachers who are probably at the beach getting tans) have monopolized every second of my break wit...
  3. Im so burned out

    So many years to get here and I am exhausted. No time to do anything but study. 1 year to go hope I can make it.
  4. Second Semester, i hate it

    Second semester and I love nursing but hate nursing school, the instructors , the adjunct instructors at the hospitals and the way they make us feel and seem to walk around with a grudge. 99% of what I have learned ( on my third rotation) I have sel...
  5. Second Semester, i hate it

  6. Second Semester, i hate it

    As a Surgical Tech of 17 years, I am well aware of that. My post had nothing to do with "rainbows", but plenty to do with annoying, unconcerned people!
  7. What are the most common positions for new grads?

    I am a surgical tech and am in nursing school. Should I consider a position as a circulating nurse?
  8. Asked to give advice to new nursing students

    I think the most important thing is to LEARN how to really understand the test questions. Learn to pick the question apart. Know what the question is really asking. Find the "buzz" words in the questions. One way to practice this is by answering NCLE...
  9. Any loans/aid for adn when you already have a bachelors?

    Not sure about your area but in FL I too had too many credits to get help from Pell or even loans but I found out that Workforce in my county (there is one in every county) will pay tuition and books for my RN program. It's such a blessing. Call you...
  10. Fundamentals HESI

    Took mine yesterday. Here is my impression; I had to slow down and read then reread a lot. I felt like the material was easy but it seemed like 3 out of the 4 answers could be correct on most of the questions. I always use the strategy of trying to p...
  11. I failed my Blood pressure assessment

    If you straighten the arm and almost hyperextended it, you'll be able to hear better. Just don't hyperextend it lol
  12. Junior year stress / anxiety.

    C=RN. Keep this in mind.
  13. First 2 weeks in nursing school

    Going from summer Pharm and right into nursing school. 2 weeks under my belt yeah! I have learned so much. 1) the school seems to own all of my time. 2) there are not enough hours in the day. 3) Some close buddies make it more doable 4) WASH YOUR H...

    Our first test is Tues. 16 chapters weeeee!!!
  15. ADN.

    I am reading some negativity here about getting my ADN. Some of us have to go where we are accepted. Age, life situations etc may not allow us to get a BSN. I always leave this site feeling like all my years of hard work mean very little in the work...
  16. Pharmacology finished. Phew!!!

    At my college, after you get accepted into the RN program, they rush you through the pharmacology class. In 8 weeks! Just took my final today. Crazy hard class to do so fast. 10 glorious days off and then onto fundamentals.

  18. MorUniversity: the scrubs from hades

    We were charged $274.90 for 2 pair of scrubs!
  19. I got my congratulatory letter!

    Second year applying to nursing school. Only thing is I was chosen as an alternate. I get in if others that were accepted don't come for whatever reason. Meanwhile, I have to take the Pharmacology Class and of course pass it to remain on the altern...
  20. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    Is this about getting a scholarship? I applied for many but my school is not at all supportive. Why would they check your credit. Sry. Could someone enlighten me. Thanks
  21. I am taking stats right now at one college to wrap up my AA Degree. I am also taking Pharm at another college where I was accepted in the nursing program. -> here's my problem. I need my completed transcripts send over to nursing college ASAP. I ...
  22. I got my congratulatory letter!

    Good Luck. The waiting is tuff. Wow they accept 60 and have 45 alternates? That a high ratio of alternates. Our school just expanded to taking 100 with 10 alternates. I'm from another college and all the alternates were outsiders. Very HAPPY to be i...

    Ours are all white too And we had 2 buy the ones THEY want us to use. I'm still in sticker shock. Almost $300 for 2 sets, yes with zipper in tops, a lab coat and 2 name tags. Gotta love it!!!

    Well I made it in!!!! I went to orientation nor knowing and started Pharm. not knowing. But I did finally get called in to accept a spot. I'm still in sticker shock. Trying to come up with all the start up $ I need is scary. Ok so I'm studying hard...
