1. Sjsu fall 2013 hopefuls

   kittycat123 replied to refresh's topic in California

   So the bookstore doesn't have the pharmacology book as part of their package yet. Something went wrong with the order on the publishers side of things. From what I understand, the bookstore is on top of finding out whether the book will be added into...

   Does anyone know if the pharmacology book is supposed to come with the semester one bundle? I just bought the semester 1 bundle and there is no pharmacology book!

3. Current SJSU Students....I have a question

   kittycat123 replied to kittycat123's topic in California

   Thanks, so much. I did receive your PM. It was very kind of you to help and give such great advice! I'm not sure how the PM's work, but I received yours and then I replied back thanking you. Well, I guess this works too! Thanks again

4. What to do with nursing school papers?

   kittycat123 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

   I use one smaller binder for school and then come home and scan all docs into my mac and cloud services. Then I review them and put them into a large 3 inch semester binder for further review. That way, if anything happens to my notes (burn or get lo...

5. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

   kittycat123 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

   I want: OB I don't mind if I'm in any other field though

6. Option of textbooks or ebooks

   kittycat123 replied to JNHERRIN's topic in General Students

   As the taco girl says...."why not both?" I'll be buying both since it's a part of my nursing book bundle. Best of both worlds. Searchable text for research and print text for longer readings.

7. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

   kittycat123 replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

   I don't dress down in pajama's but I do try to stay comfortable. I try not to dress to fancy. And I definitely don't try to where anything so fashionable that it hurts. A nice pair of jeans with variable tops always looks nice.

8. BSN vs ADN or Program vs Program

   kittycat123 replied to green34's topic in General Students

   Honestly, the higher the education, the more future proof you are in your job. A BSN will probably be a requirement in the near future (a decade or so). I'm sure in a few more decades a masters might be required. Always push for the most education yo...

9. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

   kittycat123 replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

   I buy all my books. I have two bookshelves filled with books I've bought from pre-reqs. I take pride in the knowledge I've learned and I always refer back to books when having discussions with people. Referencing nursing books is a great idea. I'm pl...

10. First Day of Nursing School

    kittycat123 replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    I start in a 4 weeks also! Just starting to get ready and looking through the books. The information seems endless!

11. Working while in nursing school?

    kittycat123 replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    Wow. The pressure that parents put on their kids sound terrible sometimes. I was very fortunate enough to grow up in a household that encouraged education all the way. I still have to play for college...but that's why I saved up for it. I took a few ...

12. Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?

    kittycat123 replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you want to do it for the money, you might last a year or two. It's tough being a nurse. I've seen people how clearly shouldn't be nurses but feel like it's the only job that is stable for them. But guess what?...The patients and hospital suffer.

13. Older Nursing Students

    kittycat123 replied to faithfl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely go for it. Nursing isn't about how old you are, it's about how caring and loving you are. If you think you are a kind and gentle person...I say go for it even if you were 100!

14. Sjsu fall 2013 hopefuls

    kittycat123 replied to refresh's topic in California

    Hi KrioH, I hope you don't mind answering a few questions. 1. How difficult was the first semester compared to other semesters you have had? 2. Are the the classes and tests more based on critical thinking (e.g. patient is displaying these signs...wh...

15. Sjsu fall 2013 hopefuls

    kittycat123 replied to refresh's topic in California

    Haha. Sorry for the confusion. We don't have to register for the workshop, just classes...sometime in mid June. I'm a transfer student, so I haven't completed any of the SJSU studies. The workshop is in August. It's just weird to think that We have n...
