We just learned about landmarking and practiced sticking needles into grapefruit and oranges. My teacher mentioned that at some point in our career, we will give an immunization and accidentally hit the persons bone. That thought scares me!! I'm gonn...

I've only been in my PN program for a month now, but the most difficult thing for me so far would be pharmacology! What's the most difficult thing you have done so far in your nursing program?

I am in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan attending Bay De Noc Community College.

I'm really sorry to hear about your financial situation. Do you get any financial aid? Otherwise I'm in the same boat as you with paying for school, lol. I hardly have free time either, which sucks because I definitely need it!

That does sound really rough! I'm glad you're getting through it though. Not just anyone can handle this kind of program it is super overwhelming! But just think of the outcome of it. It will be so worth it! I'm glad you are feeling better now that ...

Haha, I know what you mean. I also hate having to second guess myself on test questions!

I'm in the PN program at my community college going on my fifth week of school. We recently learned how to put in catheters but have only practices on mannequins. We will have to put in catheters in our clinicals next semester. I've been told that it...

Thank you. :) I am nervous but I know I will get through it when the time comes. Your advice helps greatly!

Haha, so I've heard! I have only done it on mannequins so far, I'm going to be doing them on actual patients around January or so.

Make sure to take breaks :) study 30-50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break. Turn off your phone, tv, etc and just focus on your material. I find that I can focus more when I'm studying at school rather than at home, so I'll try to do that as muc...

Thank you! I had no idea that some programs had that available. I will talk to my advisor tomorrow about it.

I am a nursing student in the PN program and I just started last week. I have been thinking more and more about getting my CNA also. Would it be a good idea to get my CNA and work as one while in the nursing program? On one side I don't want to be to...

My first day was last week also. I am really excited about my nursing fundamentals class. It's really hands-on and I am ready to get into it!

It was my sophomore year of high school that I realized I wanted to go into nursing. I was taking a general health class, and some of it talked about different nursing jobs. I was extremely interested in OB and I still am today (junior in college now...

I took A&P 1 and 2 before I even got into nursing school. It's making my schedule now a lot more flexible and less stressful, but it all depends on how much workload you can handle.

That was amazing.
