everybody studies differently some make note cards, some read the books, some study in groups. I think you should kow what your study strengths are before you get to nursing. Yes it is true some questions ALL answers are correct and you have to kinda hone in on the one thats more right. It si also true that some classes are harder than others. Things like OB and MED SURG are definitely harder than assessment and fundamentals. One thing is sure though no matter what your study strengths are you will have to put alot of time into studying

just finished OB and peds, Peds was cool but I absolutely hated OB. I am a guy so that plays a factor. I have tons of notes and excellent study material i would gladly send you, however last time i posted my email address on this site i got in trouble so if u can find a way to get me your email address I will send u everything i used for OB/Peds

yep, know your meds!! SE's, safe dosage ranges, s/s toxicity, incompatabilities, why they taking it, action of the drug. Practice sterile field till it becomes natural

Sounds like first u need to figure out what u want to do. I have never heard of a diploma of nursing u gotta decide if u want a bachelors of science in nursing then u need to look into a university, if just ur associates then look into a local community college

awe come on champ you gotta get passed the uncomfortable feelings about that. The patient will most likely be able to help themselves and if not u just get in there and follow basics clean to dirty, that means start at tip of member and go down. same goes for females and the orifice. cleanest to dirtiest

3.4 halfway through got 1 yr left and i get my BSN i be lucky to keep GPA that high man i know critical care, complex health, etc. coming up is gonna be brutal

yeah i have been lifting and training for a while now. I wasted alot of time doing 3 sets of twelve or 15 and seeing only minimal gains. Now I lift heavy, every body part, enough to get at least four and no more than six. Skeletal muscle can do only 1 of 3 things; get bigger, get smaller, or stay the same size. It will not get bigger unless there is a stimulus to do so. By doing 4-6 reps of heavy weight, you are forcing the muscle to tell the brain "dude if you wanna lift this kinda weight, we got to get bigger". By doing 12 or 15 reps, the muscle just becomes fatigued and has no "reason" spur new growth. Kinda like sitting in the shade trying to get a sun tan, THE BODY DOESNT RESPOND BECAUSE THE STIMULUS IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH!! Everybody says this too, "well higher lighter reps is for tone"---BULL DOO DOO!! The term "tone" is simply a matter of bodyfat, the more you lose the more "tone" you will look. Heavy lifting also jacks up testosterone levels. But in the end diet is 90% of fitness. Its easy to get in the gym and push weight for an hour but that food battle never ends!!

I feel your pain brother, I just got done with peds and ob just gotta stick it out

i just took a couple hours every day and practiced sample problems until it was second nature...if you get a solid foundation with conversion factors it will make redox equations and balancing easier too

hey guys, look theres a thread on this page that asks for srna's and crna's to post there schools, gpa's, gre scores, and other stuff so the "one day hopefuls" like me can see our chances of getting accepted...PLEASE KEEP POSTING!!!! ITS A GREAT IDEA AND I CHECK IT EVERYDAY SO POST!!!! :rotfl:

thats awesome and very comforting i might say, what was ur GPA and GRE scores? How many places did u apply at and where did u get interviewed and accepted?? how much experience have u had and what kind??? thanx

u know that is a great idea to read notes and books to him...hey bo i preciate that

sup folks look I was wondering if it is still possible to get accepted into a CRNA program even though I've got alot of B's in my undergrad sciences like my A&Ps and micro...I'm not an idiot I know i could have definitely made A's only I have a one year old and my wife works grave shift at a casino and sleeps most of the day and no babysitter 95% of the time. That really took a toll on my school and studying (to be honest I dont see how I made B's) anyway I start the nursing program in Spring and want to become a CRNA one day so I was wondering that if I can find a way to finish out my prenursing strong and do well in the program, will I be able to get in to an anesthesia program one day? I know I still have to get the however many years experience and take the other exams but if anybody out there got in with B's in some undergrad sciences please tell me about it and take some of this weight off my shoulders... THANXX

hey folks i was thinkin bout getting om as an ER tech while I'm in nursing school...i was wonderin maybe someone out there knows something bout that like what they do? how much can it help school? how do doc's treat em? appreciate all yall BIG NATE STAN BILOXI, MS
