    Just got accepted now what??

    cracklingkraken replied to Faada's topic in General Students

    Stay on top of the readings and homework. Set an appropriate amount of inflexible studying time, and stick to it. If you have questions, look for the answer first and, if you still can't find it, ask...

    Finding A&P classes relatively easy?

    cracklingkraken replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    It depends for every individual. It could also be that you have a phenomenal professor who explains the material well. You're own interest in the subject can be vital in how your perceive the work, as...

    "You'll hate your life"

    cracklingkraken replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Well, obviously it's not impossible since many people pass the NCLEX right out of school and receive their license I think nursing tends to draw a lot of non-traditional students (single parents,...

    What do you eat in the morning?

    cracklingkraken replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I like to eat bacon and eggs with avocado before I have clinicals. It keeps me full for a few hrs before I have to snack. If I'm too tired to make it, I'll eat a large bowl of cereal. Unfortunately, I...

    I'm a freshman nursing student with a B+ !!!

    cracklingkraken replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    As opposed to figuratively having a 100% pass rate? A B+ will probably not affect your chances greatly. There are individuals with C's who are able to go to grad

    I don't like maternity

    I completed my OB rotation. I think I, and the male students, were the only ones who didn't enjoy it. I did enjoy being able to assess the newborns,

    What do you think ?

    cracklingkraken replied to Nursing4U2's topic in General Students

    Our school's handbook states that the policy can and may be changed throughout the program. I do think it is unfair that they didn't tell you of this change when it was implemented. I don't think that...

    How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    cracklingkraken replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    So sorry to my school nurse. Especially in middle and high school, I'd be the faker. For some reason, I was deathly pale, so it added onto my story of having a bad stomach ache. I didn't do it too...

    We learned about NANDA I

    cracklingkraken replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Odd. Our program does not require that we know the specifics of the domains. The nursing Dx become much easier to remember after all the care plans. There are some that are frequently used, while...
