    I have no idea how to study

    rob4546 replied to Rachelj1222's topic in General Students

    I usually studied by making master study sheets from the lectures that cover the topics covered on the tests. In this master study sheet I generally made all the associations about each concept that...

    How can I know if I have a good chance in getting in Nursing School?

    rob4546 replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None of us can tell you your chances of entry because we don't know what your school bases its entrance on. I agree that it sound like they are looking only at your GPA, but what about people that do...

    Confused about how to become a nurse

    rob4546 replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pick up the phone and call the nursing department at the school. Any nursing program can have a wait list, private schools included. If there is more candidates and fewer spots, !bam! there is a...

    rob4546 replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No matter where you go you may have to tend with a wait list. It is time to do research on programs in your area or areas where you might relocate to in order to get your education. You may have...

    CEU Questions

    rob4546 replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    My state does not participate in the CEU program due to people using them incorrectly. From what I have heard in school, the state has stopped requiring them because people would wait till the day...

    rob4546 replied to jbward's topic in General Students

    Many of my classmates went to Wal Mart and purchased a carry on suitcase that seemed to work really well. I wish I got one, but I was super cheap and didn't want to spend 35.00 when I could use one...

    rob4546 replied to Jeisikah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't looked at the website completely, but I don't know if I would trust it totally. I got to the point where is says to gently milk the chest tube if there is a sudden decrease in outflow but...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    But this is something that you do not understand, in my opinion. When you graduate we will both have the same license. You believe that you will have much more knowledge when you graduate because...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    So we are talking about 1.5 full time semesters of full time credit hours. It took me 3 years to gain my ADN, that is with going full time during the summer as well. I really don't see a big...

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Just can't leave this topic alone. But I did want to pass some information along that I found out after reading your post. At the time I didn't care how many credit hours I took during school, I...

    Am I Being Bullied?

    rob4546 replied to wendey's topic in General Students

    Sorry, this in no way is bullying. Sounds like the preceptor is one in which believes that you are not a colleague, just a student. Sorry to agree with her but she is right. This in no way means...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    NCLEX app

    rob4546 replied to springchick1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check out the NCLEX-RN Alternate Format Question app from Davis mobile. The questions are much harder than NCLEX alternate format questions, but will really exercise your question taking muscle. I...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Once again you make generalizations that may not fit all nursing programs. I have to say that no matter what theory class you point out, the end result will be the same. To assume I didn't get the...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Ultimately the example you stated about the nursing ethics does not prove the point you are making. That example only proves that BSN programs are longer in length than ADN programs, not the...

    rob4546 replied to MeaganVerdun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is entirely a personal decision. In every class there are students that hold a job and are successful in nursing school. It really depends on how organized you are and the will power you have...

    rob4546 replied to j9199's topic in General Students

    I say write individual notes to each person. Yes, it might be a little long but it will also tell them that you are taking this seriously. Will it do any good, maybe but when you get out in the...
