  1. What do you do when you have to "read everything in the book"?

    HelloWish replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    I too study NCLEX questions (from several different books)! I learn a lot by reading rationales from the NCLEX books too. I have a 4.0 so far... I particularly like my Saunders NCLEX book and learn...

  2. I have forgotten a lot of the material covered in pre-requesites (Anatomy & Phy). Help

    HelloWish replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    I think you will remember more than you realize once you are actually in class. It will be totally fine, it wouldn't hurt to review - but I would not at all panic. It will all become second nature as...

  3. Nursing School Note Taking Advice

    HelloWish replied to jfantacone09's topic in General Students

    The Saunders NCLEX book highlights the important need to know info in and outline form for each subject studied. I have found it invaluable thus

  4. Taking A&P 2, micro and, intro to Chem in one semester

    HelloWish replied to Mayahajj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It may be doable, but in my opinion you won't get what you need out of these classes - you will just be surviving. I wouldn't take all 3 together, maybe just two together. It is important to get a...

  5. Weird question=Study by reading textbook..... and something more to retain info?

    HelloWish replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    It does depend on the instructor. However, during my 1st semester I read less than 25% of the material in my book. I spent time looking at the power points, answering the end of chapter questions,...

  6. Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    HelloWish replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    I personally think it is doable if you are having someone help with their lessons during the day! Your kids may be old enough to plan some units around the material you are learning such as science,...

  7. Can having absence seizures prevent becoming a nurse anesthetist

    HelloWish replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I thought about when deciding to pursue nursing and hopefully one day advance practice was would I want me as a nurse or NP to work on me as a patient or my family/child as a patient. I...

  8. NP or pharmacist?

    HelloWish replied to msrxchef's topic in General Nursing

    I recently spoke with a pharmacist and she said that jobs are very hard to come by. However, NP's seem to be more in demand at this time. This could all change though by the time you are done with...

  9. Drop ADN program forBSN program?

    HelloWish replied to orderly#1's topic in General Students

    Is your ADN program 4 semesters? If so, it will take 3 years no matter what right? It only takes 1 year to complete an RN-BSN program. So it doesn't make sense to me to drop the ADN program in which...

  10. How to prepare for nursing school?

    HelloWish replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    If there is a way to get your syllabus and just preread a bit, that is helpful. Otherwise, there is no way to prepare other than get your fun in

  14. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    HelloWish replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    Absolutely agreed! It seems this a very common theme in OPs

  15. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    HelloWish replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    I agree that some battles aren't worth fighting. However, I think that taking abuse repeatedly is one that is worth fighting. Once, maybe twice someone could be having a bad day, sure! If one wants...

  16. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    HelloWish replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    I am frustrated that so many people seem to say just take it, keep quiet so you can graduate and be a nurse. That is part of what perpetuates the dysfunctional culture of nursing and even society! I...

  21. how many of you actually read all the chapters?

    HelloWish replied to gearedup's topic in General Students

    So far, I am one month into nursing school, I haven't had time to even read. I have no idea when I will have time. So far I have made one B, A, and C on exams. So, I have to figure out where I missing...

  22. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    HelloWish posted a topic in General Students

    I just started nursing school and had my first clinical today. In fact, my very first patient had C. diff. I was nervous, but I helped the CNA do a transfer with some other nursing students while...

    Thanks for the article. I cannot speak about the facility in any way! Thank you, I am aware of following the contact precautions which I did. I am taking probiotics long term as a means of protecting...

  24. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    HelloWish replied to HelloWish's topic in General Students

    I bought some clorox wipes for healthcare to wipe my shoes with yesterday. Unfortunately, my scrubs cannot be dried on hot! I did wash them on a sanitary cycle 3 times however. I hope that is enough....

  25. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    HelloWish replied to HelloWish's topic in General Students

    Ok, thanks for the info y'all! Good thing I started taking my probiotics!!! It is what I thought. I am still a bit worried, which I guess is natural as a beginning nursing student!
