1. Failed first semester by very small amount...

   cholleytcl replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

   My school doesn't round up. You can have a 74.99% and you will not get the 75 needed for a C.

2. Conflict with a coworker

   cholleytcl replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

   I would move on from it. If they have a problem, kill them with kindness. That will get to them more than confronting them. I do this all of the time with people that I work with.

3. 1st semster student

   cholleytcl replied to Payton42's topic in General Students

   I would use the NCLEX app from ATI for the iPHONE for preparation. It really helps on tests. Many questions are similar.

4. Completed my first semester of nursing school

   cholleytcl replied to Miss Dia's topic in General Students

   Congrats! Just ended my first semester, also. Med-Surg will be a little more difficult!

5. What is your grading scale?

   cholleytcl replied to smoup's topic in General Students

   Ours is a 90-100 = A 82-89 = B 75-81 = C D is failing and you receive 1 re-entry. No rounding at all!

6. Working while in nursing school

   cholleytcl replied to JSoliz's topic in General Students

   I currently work full time while in nursing school. I am only in my first semester right now. I do think it is doable. If you are working in a hospital setting, I think it will only help in your nursing school adventures... Stick with the working...

7. Questions about Nursing Care plans?

   cholleytcl replied to mcclot1993's topic in General Students

   Don't pay the other person on here any attention. You will not be a know-it-all. I wish I would have learned a thing or two about nursing before entering the program.

8. Nursing Student with Fear of Fainting.

   cholleytcl replied to tiffany91's topic in General Students

   Honestly, with all of the anxiety caused by nursing school, you may want to turn to a lower dose of an anti-anxiety drug. I don't mean that in any sort of offensive way. It may just ease some of that anxiety that you are feeling.

9. Got Into Nursing School, Now What?

   cholleytcl replied to havehope's topic in General Students

   Buy a pocket drug guide for clinicals. The Lippincott's Drug Guide is a great one. It's so much easier to have a pocket version during clinicals and they are not that expensive.

10. ati app?

    cholleytcl replied to douxmusique's topic in General Students

    I just checked, and I paid $19.99 on iTUNES. It is really worth it! There is a free version but it is not very helpful. There are other NCLEX tutorials out there, but the ATI RN Mentor - NCLEX Exam Preparation" is the one to get.

11. ati app?

    cholleytcl replied to douxmusique's topic in General Students

    There are at least 1,000 different questions on the full version. There are at least 100 questions per topic in the "Clinical Area". There are 8 topics which include: Adult Med-Surg, Fundamentals, Leadership, Maternal Newborn, Mental Health, Nursing...

12. ati app?

    cholleytcl replied to douxmusique's topic in General Students

    If it's the RN Mentor app by ATI for the iPHONE, I find it incredibly helpful. You can customize quizzes according to which classes you are in currently. The questions are hard, but it will give you the rationale behind each answer.

13. Have you faced any discrimination as a student?

    cholleytcl replied to sevenup0307's topic in Male Students

    If you go into this worrying about being discriminated against, you will think every time something doesn't go your way that it involves discrimination. The nursing instructors do not discriminate. If anything, they welcome the diversity. When I h...

    cholleytcl replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Students

    3 out of 40

15. I Need a Stethoscope

    cholleytcl replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Either the Littman Classic II or the Lightweight version of the Classic.
