I am currently at a 4 yr nursing program and it seems so many of my fellow students are failing/not passing their demos. Are 4 yr universities more likely to fail students than 2 yr community colleges. I am debating transferring to 2 yr school.Than...

Thank you all for your reply. I was considering two yr but not sure now. My main problem is trying to find job in healthcare and I am unable to find job because too many applicants for one job (St. Louis economy is terrible). My instructor said ha...

I decided against community colleges because the waiting list is too long (as long as 2-3 yrs) and against SLU (too expensive) and BJC (too far a drive).

I am frustrated. I am currently unemployed (still looking for work after 2 yrs). If I didn't have family near by, I think I would be tempted to move out of state (TX) economy, jobwise is much better than our area. Before I can start back again, I h...

I can go ahead in program as long as I pass drug calculations/pharm lab. I passed the pharm part of course. I have friends now in Med-surg and several people did not pass their demos/sterile technique in lab. Not sure what will happen next.

Hello I was attending Maryville WEC program until end of Spring 2011 semester. I did fine in pharm and pathophy but did not pass drug cal test (i only missed one question), so I have to retake lab next Spring 2012. I have to wait until then despite...

Hello all. I am debating on whether to drop out of nursing program. I made good grades in patho and pharm this spring semester. I will be retaking pharm lab in spring because I did not pass drug cal test. (spring 2012). I had my advisor and my pha...

My advisor thought I might not fit nursing. Right now I am completing EMT training until I start back with Pharm lab.

I am in pharmacology and patho. In pharm we have to take math cal test. We have 3 chances to pass it. (I did not pass the 2nd attempt today). I am not sure what to do. I am hestitant on taking 3rd test because I am afraid i will fail again. We ha...

The third time, I only missed one question out of 20, unfort I did not pass, neither did an acq of mine who has a degree in engineering. What we have to do know is one: wait till next yr to take class or b: apply to committee to see if we can take i...

Hi I am thinking of quitting after this semester ends in May. I will have finished fundamentals, patho and pharmo. I just don't think I am as smart as others in my class. They all work ft and still do well with lots of responsibilities and I am un...

I am in 2nd semester and I am taking pharm and pathophy. What a busy semester. I would like to know how people budget their time. I did terrrible on last phar test and everyone else did fine. I really don't know how to study. Listen to lecture no...

Hello I wanted to ask does anyone actually have any kind of time to actually do something nice for themselves like exercise or once in a blue moon get hair done, etc. I am at school (classes plus studying) a minimum of 6 hr a day. I never have time...

I think I am going to quit. I can't get this drug calculations stuff.

I did fine at clinical. I think time management is a big problem and the way I study. Everone I go to school with works and has families and still do better..I think they have something I don't.

I was wondering how people study for pharmacology. We have lecture on pp, and lecture is also on audio so we can listen to it. Someone suggested listening to audio several times while we look at notes. How do you study?

Thank you for advice. I think I am going to drop program despite only one bad grade on test.
