I am wrapping up my first semester at CLC! H

Most of the people in my class use the small rolling suitcase not sure what size but small carry on size. Look out at the thrift shop! I got one that has been great for $4! Can't beat that! Plus no achy back! H

Thats scary! I have worked as a medical assistant for 7 years and the same doctor for 5 and while I know and have seen a lot! I never tell anyone when I go to clinicals! #1 I don't want them to assume because I work in healthcare I may know somethin...

Thanks!

Sorry I was assuming when typing and yes I read every chapter that is assigned. I know the overall grade is good but I need to improved my test scores I am just looking to see what tricks everyone else uses studying!

I just completed a EBP paper yesterday and mine was on the need for critical thinking during emergency care. I had a great ethics lecture last night and now I wish I would have incorporated the two! CI also think that if you pick a topic that is more...

Can you find someone maybe a working mom that is just starting and bless her with them?? Ask the 1st semester teachers if they have ideas of someone who may need it?

Okay I see this posted all the time but WHAT IS ATI?? I am in week 8 of my program and I haven't heard of it. I know we have some NLN exams coming up is this similar??

I do this as well! Then you also have a study guide when it is test time! Good luck! =)

Hello all! I am looking to find a spot that would be easily accessable for my class which is made up of 16 students and 2 different sections of 8 (we rotate clinical/labs on different days) SO we are not always all together. I want a common spot we ...

YES I am a planner! So let me question all of you who have reached the finish line! By the way congrats! What should I get for a great NCLEX exam book to use through school. The one we got in our pack of books is by Silvestri. I am not that happy wit...

yes I have the saunders book we just call it the silvestri book, no idea why! I guess I just need to get used to it. I love the tool prep u that comes with our taylor fundamentals of nursing text. It gives you reference back to the page in the book w...

looks like saunders is what I have! I find it hard to get used too though =(

I have not searched lately but I know that when learning for mnemonics and such to help study or understand a certain concept I have found a few great resources on pinterest! There are a lot of nursing items pinned and stuff that made great study mat...

I work and 8 hour day drive 20 minutes to school and then 45 minutes home every night and it is worth it! I must make sacrifices for the greater good in my life.....

P.S. look up "Nursing student Boot Camp" on youtube! Great info!!

I am a first semester student as well and some of the 4th semester students came to our lecture to give us guidance and advice and most if not all of them said they bombed the first 2 exams. It takes time to get used to this style of question and mat...

Now that's the truth!
