Hello everyone. I have found that one of the hardest parts of being a new nurse is how everyone does things differently. It is hard to figure out what I'm supposed to do. One of the biggest things I...
I feel like you’d be surprised at how much you retained! Don’t be afraid because you can do it. My school did hesi but a few days before nclex I bought uworld to see what it was about. I would...
I took the NCLEX today and felt torn between a lot of questions. After getting home and googling them it seems like I got quite a few wrong. I know they say you have to be doing really horrible to...
I seriously think I got most priority questions wrong (they were all so close). Did you feel like this too? It also doesn't help that my last question was easy ?. There were *some* questions I felt...
I just feel like I missed most of the priority questions ? and my last question was not that hard. I'm trying to stay positive but it's so terrifying having to wait. Thank you for your encouraging...
I'm a nursing student set to graduate in 3 weeks. I've been having my preceptorship in the ED and today I received a call because a floor manager contacted my boss saying I updated a patient's med...

Yes, I feel like no one either does them or they aren't accurate due to cross-viewing the computer orders, verbal discrepancies, and piece of paper from 1953. I also feel bitter like it isn't in my...
I was planning on taking a year to finish my remaining "coreqs" but after thinking about it, I would rather take A&P 2 in an 8 week course during my fundamentals class, and then microbiology in...

I guess the school I'm going to, quite a few people do it. I would only need a&p 2 during the first nursing semester (which has 1 class)— I also hear the a&p teacher is great (like actually...
Hey guys! Is two years of a bsn program more rigorous than two years of an asn program? I will graduate from college this year, and want to go back for nursing. I don't know if I should go the bsn...

No, it's still a two year program. I've looked into ABSN's but I would rather take it the slow and steady route. Maybe it's just something weird on their websites; websites tend to be

Really? Weird. I'll have to bring it up when I meet with the nursing recruiter at my school. Online it says they offer a BSN and a bachelor's in nursing for people who already have a bachelor's. The...
schoolforever replied to schoolforever's topic in General Students
Wait, is there really a difference between a BSN and a BA in nursing? The school I go to now offers a BA in nursing for people that already have four year degrees, although I don't see what is so...

Well, plenty of people get hired with ADN's where I live, so that really isn't the issue. I just wanted to know what the course load was like in a two year bsn vs. adn. I know the BSN program has you...
Hey all, So I'm debating between two community colleges. Both of the colleges require about the same pre-reqs. However, one of the schools has you take TEAS and the other one doesn't. The school that...
Also, I'm not sure if nursing school is very competitive around here or not... I do not know what to expect! I had a class who said her grades weren't very good, and got in to one. And another friend...
Well, I live in the middle of 2 cities that are about the same distance from one another. And good to know; they require an 80 for admission, otherwise you have to take some "nursing strategies"...
How many hours per day do you put into studying for your nursing classes? I've heard a lot of different answers. Also, do you think there is such a thing as studying TOO much? Can you freak yourself...
I am right along with you guys. I graduate this coming spring and I am going to finish my prereqs NEXT year. I decided I wanted to do nursing the spring semester of last (my junior) year. I had my eye...
