  1. First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    MissCris replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken my first test yet, but I'm having a pretty bad time with the practice questions I've done so far. It's a different way of thinking that we need to get used to. I never thought I'd...

  2. Disruptive & talkative students (vent)

    MissCris replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    Ugh, this started at orientation in my class. They were showing us the charting software we'll be using in the computer lab and two girls wouldn't stop talking to each other. When the presenter was...

  3. Paper (Yes, I know I shouldn't sweat the small stuff...)

    MissCris replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Seriously! I used to spend $100 a week at the grocery store and recently it's been more like $140. I buy pretty much the same thing week to week so

  4. Nursing school and new mommy?

    MissCris replied to jls0052's topic in General Students

    My daughter will turn 4 in November and I start my ADN program next week. I can't speak to being in school with a newborn, because I waited until she was almost 3 before I went back to complete my...

  5. Does your school discourage working?

    MissCris replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    My program does discourage working. We had our orientation today and they basically said, "Have a work conflict? Too bad, we don't care, get your butt to lecture/clinical." I understand it, because...

  6. How to act on the orientation/first day of school?

    MissCris replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Everything RN403 said! Although I'd add that there IS a "certain" way to act and that is simply "not like an a-hole." Just be kind and respectful to everyone, even the people you don't necessarily...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just started an "NCC Nursing" chat in WhatsApp and added you. When I saw your picture I was like "I definitely talked to her!" haha too funny. If anyone else is lurking in this thread and wants to...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I signed up for morning also. My friend and I went up first to volunteer for 12h, not knowing that so many people would actually want it. We thought we were doing the prof a favor That goes to show...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    So, what did you guys think? I was impressed with the staff, they all seem really supportive. While I was sitting there I realized we should have tried to find a way to introduce ourselves to each...

  10. 2 more weeks!!! Any last advice??

    MissCris replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    My school "strongly recommends" that we work on problems in the first 14 chapters of our dosage calculations book before class starts on the 4th, so I'm chipping away at it a little every day. Other...

  11. Nursing school freakout

    MissCris replied to lancerswife's topic in General Students

    Thank you for all of this, especially the bolded. I am feeling very similarly to OP, just terrified of this new journey that I'm embarking on with no experience in the medical world at all and my...

    Hi there! I haven't seen any further emails. I can't believe orientation is less than a week away. Starting to get a little bit

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I haven't gotten my books or my uniform yet, clearly I am slacking! I'm thinking about starting a Facebook group for the NCC program but I don't see any for previous classes and I don't want to get...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    No problem! I have my school email set up to forward to my personal one, so I'm not sure where they sent it. Check both, and if you don't have it in either you can PM me your email address and I'll...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I've heard mixed reviews on St. V's and it's also crazy expensive. I think you're definitely making the right choice. I think retaking the computer course is a good idea too. Do you have the TEAS...

    I think I'm going to do the same thing and get sneakers and some good ol' Dr. Scholls inserts haha I'm cutting my hours at work in half when school starts and planning on staying at the school all day...

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The computer class is calculated into your nursing GPA. If you're talking about the exam to test out of taking the class, I wouldn't recommend it unless you use a LOT of Microsoft Office programs,...
