  1. Which study guide is best?

    studentbear replied to gemini29x's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used the ATI book, the ATI practice exams, and Keshwani's videos on Youtube. Felt like it was more than adequate! I struggle with math and Keshwani really explains things in a way that makes

  2. Is this typical? Contradicting info.

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    I am about halfway through my first semester of nursing school and as part of my coursework I am taking fundamentals which includes an online HESI component. I am feeling confused because we just took...

  3. How to be a better BF to my nursing student GF.

    studentbear replied to Waki3000's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but this seems off to me. I have long distance friendships that I maintain through regular snapchatting, fb chat, text, and phone calls every week or every other week. I live with my SO and we...

  4. Calculator for drug calculations

    studentbear posted a topic in General Students

    My graphing calculator bit the dust after I took statistics so I don't have a calculator any more. Is a non-graphing scientific calculator appropriate or should I use something simpler? I asked my...

  5. Help: I failed out of nursing school

    studentbear replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    Your school's counseling services would be an excellent place to start and they could guide you to local resources. I have ADD and anxiety myself, so I understand where you're coming from when you say...

  6. Is this typical? Contradicting info.

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    I believe both were about reduction of the muscle

  7. Is this typical? Contradicting info.

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    That makes perfect sense to me, thank you. I've had muscle spasms in the past and found that heat was more beneficial in my experience, but if nursing school has taught me anything it's to rely on...

  8. Desperately need help studying efficiently

    studentbear replied to Accordiantoyou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any study recommendations for you, but here is a tidbit: I struggled through A&P-- barely passed A&P1 the first round, got a B+ in A&P2, and finally got a B in A&P1 the...

  9. What have I gotten myself into?

    studentbear replied to futureRN_'18's topic in General Students

    I feel this as a 1st semester BSN student. I'm basically in a constant state of stress and feel like I'm on the verge of drowning in all the studying, assignments, exams, etc. let alone my personal...

  10. Nursing school makes you crazy but this is too far!

    studentbear replied to mtngirl07's topic in General Students

    You're not responsible for your classmate's behavior. I highly doubt that shaming her and berating her about it being unhealthy will change her mind. If anything, you could share with her that you...

  11. I blew my teas exam :(

    studentbear replied to anhtran94's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    What did you use to prepare? I used the TEAS booklet and Keshwani's videos on Youtube. I also studied for about a month every day. I honestly don't remember what my score was but it was good enough...

  12. Stress and School

    studentbear replied to midwifemae's topic in General Students

    Have you tried exercising on a regular basis? How's your diet? What about mindfulness? Those are some of the things that I find work for me off the top of my head. It sounds like you're doing a lot to...

  13. Nursing school: How did you make it? How many hours should you put in per week?

    studentbear replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I am a very new nursing student (we just wrapped up week 4 of semester 1) so I don't quite feel qualified for advice giving per se, but I will say that our professors told us to budget 2-3 hours of...

  14. Anyone unsuccessful in nursing school but excel as a nurse??

    studentbear replied to Jess__'s topic in General Students

    First of all, I hear you on feeling frustrated when nursing school is structured in such a way where the bulk of our information comes in a medium that may not be easiest for us to learn. I do really,...

  15. I quit the PA rat race.

    studentbear replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is hideously offensive. OP, thank you for your comprehensive comparison. It sounds like you have overcome some huge obstacles that live has thrown at you and yet, you persisted. Way to go and...

  16. MMR Vaccine

    studentbear replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    Not trying to start a debate, but vaccines aren't 100% effective which is why sometimes people contract diseases that they have been vaccinated

  17. How does your school work?

    studentbear replied to jujubeeaddict1's topic in General Students

    Our program is broken down into classes and the order we are allowed to take them in is set with absolutely no wiggle room. This semester (the first "clinical semester" i.e. when we begin our nursing...

  18. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

    studentbear replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    Larabars! They leave me very

  19. Reporting an incident

    studentbear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am trying to determine the appropriate course of action for this situation. My A&P2 professor (middle aged, white male) said multiple discriminatory and suggestive comments toward multiple...

  20. In my feelings

    studentbear replied to Shanella25's topic in General Students

    Listen, I get it. When I was 22, I was just starting out my college education and I felt super old. I didn't graduate with my AA until last year (I am 26 now) because hey, life happens. I will be...

    Thanks, yellowalfa, that's really helpful! I hope there is an orientation date later because we may not move until late August.

  24. UMass Boston BSN Fall 2016

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    My acceptance letter came today and I am in! I'm torn, though-- I got engaged over Thanksgiving and we were planning to put nursing school on hold for a year to get married. Does anyone know if you...
