  1. Review specialty areas!

    Backwardo posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please study your specialty areas!! The dean of my college of nursing sat in with us one afternoon and told us to focus on pharmacology and delegation. She actually said, "Do not focus on specialty...

  2. NCLEX select all that apply questions?

    Backwardo replied to Nursecrystal2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tested yesterday. About half of my exam was SATA. I didn't get any other alternate format questions. I passed in 75 questions, took about half an hour. It really wasn't that bad, it was very...

  3. Taking anatomy 2 and nursing courses?

    Backwardo replied to haleyfreddie96's topic in General Students

    I took A&P I with nursing fundamentals and A&P II with med-surg. I finished A&P II with a high B and med-surg with an A. Totally doable! Will you be tired and a little jealous of your...

  4. Retaking TEAS V

    Backwardo replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well, here's the awesome part - you have already seen the test and now have an idea of what to expect! Don't let it bother you or make you feel bad, just think of it as a practice run. I wish I...

  5. Inquiring Minds

    Backwardo replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    I just finished up my first semester. Maybe it's because I'm a newbie to nursing school, but the most difficult thing for me was the volume of work. I had 6ish hours of clinical look up on Sundays...

  6. Reflections of your first semester?

    Backwardo replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Fingers crossed for you! First semester was exciting! The first few weeks I felt like I was consumed with stress 24/7. I would wake up feeling stressed. But I found my groove and ended up with a...

  7. Bed bath

    Backwardo replied to ASAMOAH ASMAH's topic in General Students

    Oh jeez, wrong

  8. student shortcuts

    Backwardo replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    LOL! Love it! I have resorted to putting my kids' clothes in baskets, rather than folding them and putting them in their dressers. My husband and I's just goes in a big pile on my file cabinet, I...

  9. stinky patient pet peeve

    Backwardo replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I guess I just don't understand your mentality, here. I'm 11 weeks into my program, so far I've been checked off all basic CNA skills (though I am a certified CNA, we all had to get checked off in the...

  10. First semester schedule

    Backwardo replied to Pistachio830's topic in General Students

    I am 11 weeks into my first semester. Sunday: -Clinical look up (depends on how fast you work) Monday: -Clinical 0600-1200 -Lab 1200-1330 Wednesday: -Class 0800-1100 Thursday: -Class 0800-1100...

  11. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    Backwardo replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    It really wouldn't bother me. Knit, snack, type....whatever. Just don't try chatting with me while I'm in my I-must-absorb-everything-the-instructor-is-saying zone and it's cool. And honestly, if...

  12. What is that stench??

    Backwardo replied to JessyHsn's topic in General Students

    You're still new - it takes time for some to be able to let that go when you walk out of the room. My little guy is in diapers and the smell of urine or feces don't bother me (unless we're talking...

  13. OMG, is it only the second day of nursing school????

    Backwardo replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    I'm getting ready to start week 7 and you will definitely find your own routine. I realized around week 4 that I wasn't running around constantly in a panic that I wasn't going to get XYZ done. I...

  14. Is it okay to tape record on my phone my patient's report?

    Backwardo replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    What?? No! You absolutely cannot do that. No, no,

  15. I start Nursing School in a week...

    Backwardo replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Students

    I'm currently drinking a beer/watching a movie/browsing this forum. Yesterday I spent an hour shopping for my brand new baby nephew and then 3 hours afterwards holding said nephew. Some days...

  16. I start Nursing School in a week...

    Backwardo replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Students

    I just finished my second week. It is STRESSFUL, but not really because of the content. Reading the books is the easy part, believe it or not! They do throw you into the workload immediately. My...

  17. Almost Done - Except Sick

    Backwardo replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    In my program, I know I'd be told something similar. We can only miss one day and we have to make it up at the end. There is no switching to the other clinical days. Our dean told us at orientation...

  18. How to work smarter?

    Backwardo replied to Mallory8502's topic in General Students

    I just had my first exam (on day two, ughhh!) and got an 88%, whereas most of the class failed. We were assigned quite a few chapters from a variety of books. When I read the chapters, I used "chunk...

  19. What Supplies Should I Get for School?

    Backwardo replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

    I would just buy the basics until you get your official list from the school. I bought two giant binders (Avery Heavy-Duty on amazon). One for A&P and one for my nursing class. They are...

  20. How many classes?

    Backwardo replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    I have one 10 credit hour nursing class and I am also taking A&P 1 along with

  21. At my wit's end...

    Backwardo replied to jasonsgirl4eves's topic in General Students

    What exactly are they doing that makes you believe they legitimately hate you? Are they pushing you around? Calling you names? Yelling at you? Spreading rumors about you? Keying your car?...

  22. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    Backwardo replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    What if I fall? Oh, my darling, what if you fly? **I actually have this quote on a painting in my living

  23. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    Backwardo replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    During my CNA clinicals, I just did my normal face of makeup. Foundation, black eyeliner, black mascara, beige-ish shadow. I don't wear anything very thick or dramatic, so I likely won't change it...

  24. work, school and family balance

    Backwardo replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting really organized right now. I went through my dresser and got rid of all the clothes I don't ever wear, same for my kids. I went through their playroom and threw out the toys they no...

  25. July 2014 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Backwardo replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Forget being a nurse, she should be a magician! She magically crammed six 1500 page books into that tiny
