Well for me, seating there reading reading and reading wasn't good for me, I had to visualize it, or even act out. Not to be weird, but I learned that talking to myself was a big help. Now you will notice that the majority of things you will cover in nursing school are everyday life, apply it. Also try not to just memorize things, our minds are sponges and we hold info when we aren't even trying to remember. For example:You read a article about a serious new disease, which was about 3 weeks ago (just because you wanted to) now, if someone in passing or even in a coversation brings that disease up, you will be able to talk about it also, and provide detailed information from what you know. So just read like you would read a great story, and dont try to cover the answer and remember it just reallly get into it and picture it and talk to yourself while you read it, and come test day you got it all there. Hope I helped:)

A degree is a degree basically, whether is a associates, bachelors, or masters school always will recognize it, they cannot deny you, just b/c it was online courses b/c many people take telecourses due to hectic schedules or you have children as long as its an accredited school youll be ok. Now when you are a nurse and you went to a 2 year school like i am doing, you will have a good career b/c you are still a R.N, but as far as obtaining a B.S.N thats just more icing on the cake, maybe if your in a position already, they will give you a raise but basically the higher you go the more money you will make, and if your interested in going all the way thats better for you, but it is ok to have the 2 years of schooling along with your license. I hope I helped:)

everything you said about having is true, I would also recommend a binder seperate from the one you WRITE your notes in to hold all of the hand out notes your professor may give you and save them for future references. As far as clinicals most definetly make sure you read before you go so you wont be lost and make sure everything your professor warned you about is always in tact, to avoid and early dismissals for you (personal experience) lol such as the length of your nails proper dress, and anything else your suppose to have on you. Most of all, aside from the material and required things, you need to have faith, energy, concentration, motivation and determination and everything will fall into place. This is a journey you are not on alone alot of other people are going through it also including me, so just dont give up even when it gets harder than youll ever imagine hope i helped :)

I have a problem i am in nursing school and my professor is a wonderful PERSON, but isn't a good teacher. For her class we need 3 books, the actual nursing book, medical terminology and the dosage calculations. She does not teach medical terminology she said we must read that at home, she does not teach the dosage calculations, she breifly goes over it and says to go to the learning center if we have problems all she does is lecture about nursing which i feel those two topics are vital in nursing too. I go home and i read alot so I wont be lost in the lecture and i study the terminology alot, but for the people that cant pronounce these words b/c it is in (latin)should be taught. What should i do?

Thats so good for you. Doesn't it feel great to actually see something thru I cant wait to get to that point but your right study pray and you passed
