Hi all! I didnt see a thread on this topic so I figured I'd post something. I am in my 4th semester of nursing school and Community health is one of the classes. I heard awful things about this class and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to...

I am a nursing student as well. I am graduating in December if all goes well. I work as a NA on a cardiac progressive unit so I will be using both experiences. What I love about nursing is that the options are endless. You will find your nitch! When ...

I am in my third semester of nursing school. I have about 4 weeks left. This has BY FAR been my hardest semester, I have med surg, OB, and psych. I need an 80 to pass and this is where I am Psych: I am passing. The class is no problem but it is on th...

This is a silly question, but one concern I have about nursing school is not having time for God. Recently I just re-discovered my faith in God and I'm happy I did. Going to church helps so much in getting me through the week, So my question is, will...

Hey everyone, so I start NS in the fall. I heard from many that nursing students gain weight from all the stress. I go to the gym anywhere from 3-5 days a week, training legs, arms shoulders, back on different days. It's important to me. Is anyone el...

I was going through the questions in my potter and perry book and I got stumped on a question. So here it is: a pt returns to your post op unit following surgery on his right rotator cuff. The LPN reports she had difficulty finding his rt radial puls...

thank you so much! A lot of people in my class were confused by this as well. So let's say that there was no surgery. That he was just there for a routine check up. Would you just check the apical?

Oh!! I guess it makes sense now. So because there is a risk for a blood clot you're going to want to check all sites?

Hi everyone, I will be starting pharm next week (yay for making it to term 2) Anyway I was wondering if anyone has used the pharmacology flashcards and which brand you recommend. Also how should I study for this class? I hear horror stories

I thought I would know how to deal with stress but I dont and it scares me. I shut down before every exam and I become someone I'm not. I know this isnt normal for me and I'm scared

So I have my first exams this week. I can't tell you the time I spent crying. I've been frustrated all week. I can hardly eat or sleep. I have my health assessment exam tomorrow (Monday) and intro to nursing on Wednesday. The thing that frustrates me...

It's still a regular exam but with an essay question included. I should have mentioned that lol

I am a first year nursing student. For my health assessment class, our book which is "Nursing Health Assessment" 2nd edition by Sharon Jenson is a digital e book. It's the only one that the book the had and the only one that was required. The book it...

Hey everyone, so first off I want to say that I survived my first week of nursing school!!! :) So now to my question: In my Health Assessment class, our books are e books through course point. We have four chapters to read. I'm not a huge fan of read...

I START NURSING SCHOOL ON THE 8th! I'm both nervous and excited to begin this crazy journey! I received my syllabus for my intro to nursing class and I already stated to write down exam dates, due dates, etc! And it's color coordinated. (Like what is...

;)Does anyone know where to get nursing textbooks for "cheaper" prices? I know it's difficult because they are expensive anywhere but I'm curious and want to save greens

Hey everyone so I was wondering if I should purchase an NCLEX book before I start my first semester or should I wait until the second semester? Thanks

Hey everyone so I am about to embark on my nursing school journey. I am super stoked. I was just wondering about what diseases nursing student and nursing students should know. I took paths and learned a lot but I'm curious as to what diseases nurses...

Hi everyone, so I recently got my acceptance letter info the nursing program. I start in the fall. I'm super excited but also very nervous. To those who have "been there done that" what advise do you have? I would greatly appreciate any feedback. :)

So today I was cleaning the kitchen table and I saw an envelope from my school. When I opened the letter I saw in big letters: "CONGRATULATIONS" I cannot believe it! I got accepted into the nursing program at my dream school! I cried and my mom cried...

Hi everyone. Long time no post. Here's an update: last semester was gross. I had terrible professors except for my develoental psych professor. He was pretty cool. Anyway I'm in patho now at madonna university and I'm already overwhelmed. This is the...

So I was just wondering if there is anything I can do right now to prepare myself for patho and even pharmacology. I've been hearing bad things about the two classes. Are there any books you recommend I look at? Or should I just wait until I actually...

Hi everyone. So lately I have been having negative thoughts about nursing school. I am so stressed about applying for the program and starting the program. Negative thoughts constantly scramble around in my mind and it worries me. How can I overcome...

I think it gets easier in some ways. You get used to the types of questions asked, the preparation, etc. mine was split into two classes a&p 237 was the anatomy and 238 was the physio. In my opinion the physio was a tad easier because you were al...

Ahh OMG I loved a&p! At first it's hard. Studying for the first two tests is stressful but once you understand how the professor goes about tests you'll be ok. I used flash cards all the time (but honestly I've used flash cards since middle schoo...
