  2. Buy nursing books from School bookstore or other websites?!

    adnstudent44 replied to a0646504's topic in General Students

    definitely buy off amazon! the school bookstores always charge too much and if you end up without the access code, the book's website often lets you buy the access code by itself; I've done this for...

  5. Advice for Passing Pharm

    adnstudent44 replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    lol! well I bombed my first pharm test, so it was close to impossible getting an A after that, but the book definitely helped me slavage myself in that class. I have used it since for my other classes...

  6. Critique of Nursing School

    adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    This! I totally agree that if there is a grievance, it is usually deemed the students fault, justly or unjustly. I just try and be quiet. There was an issue at our program and one of our "better...

  7. Critique of Nursing School

    adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    I am currently in an ADN program, and although I am doing very well, and have a few great teachers, I do not think ADN programs are exempt from the same issues that BSN programs have. My county...

  8. Critique of Nursing School

    adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    Let me just add, that yes I know there are "newbies" out there who are rude or disrespectful and yes sometimes when they say something, I cringe. I am not talking about that. I was more referring to...

  9. Critique of Nursing School

    adnstudent44 replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    I think part of the problem with nursing education is that those that are qualified to teach nursing school often have to take a pay cut to pursue teaching. As a result, many stay working in the...

  13. a personal fear

    adnstudent44 replied to reka2014's topic in General Students

    Yes. The only thing that keeps those fears at bay is reading posts on hear from veteran nurses talking about how you don't really learn anything until you get your first job. I'm going to make sure...

  14. First Clinical Jitters

    adnstudent44 replied to ellaballet's topic in General Students

    We had all of our skills checked off before we started our first clinical, otherwise we were not allowed to start clinical. I think it depends on the program, because I definitely had to be prepared...

  15. First Clinical Jitters

    adnstudent44 replied to ellaballet's topic in General Students

    I did mostly CNA duties but I also did give my first shot and pass meds for my first clinical. As for tips? I agree with the first responder who said don't ask questions while the RN is pulling meds...

  16. RNs who guide nursing students during clinicals (and do a dang good job of it!)

    adnstudent44 replied to sarahdanielle14's topic in Nurses Rock

    I just finished my first semester of clinical, and I have to say I feel very fortunate to have the instructors I had and will continue to have my last year of nursing school. The main instructor I...

    adnstudent44 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    adnstudent44 replied to Eric02's topic in General Students

    I really like the books "Straight As" in... they have them for each subject, like "Straight A's in Pharmacy" or "Straight As in Mental Health." My first semester I was struggling with the questions,...

  20. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    adnstudent44 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey, for what its worth, I understood your OP and didn't take it as judgmental either. In fact, to me you sounded very empathetic to the patient, but I am still only an ADN student, so what do I...

    adnstudent44 posted a topic in General Students

    So I know that ATI is just a way of life for a lot of nursing schools and as I am about to finish my first year of my ADN program I get it. I passed my first two ATI tests (Fundamentals and Mental...

    adnstudent44 replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    practice nclex style questions, I know its a repeat, but do it! also, if your program has ATI practice those types of questions too. IMO they are two different kinds of styles and I had to "learn"...

    adnstudent44 replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    Okay at this point this is my last post on here, because I feel like this thread is just beating a dead horse. The point of my question was, why is the behavior of complaining about being mistreated...
