For grades, for most classes you will have 3 exams, 100 points each. You need a 219/300 to pass. So if you divide that together you need an average of 73 for each exam. That doesn't mean if you fail...
Return demo is short for return demonstration. You will have to demonstrate the skills you have learned, such as taking vital signs, doing a head-to-toe assessment, and hanging an IV bag. It's similar...
I agree to start at your school's financial aid office. Sometimes, with funds being so limited, they won't outright tell you about a scholarship that is available unless you know it by name and ask...
Best of luck to everyone beginning classes today. You guys will do great! I know it's going to seem overwhelming at first but that will pass. Just keep your eyes on the prize and continuously...
Congrats! As a student myself I love hearing about fellow student's successes. I was able to insert my first foley during my OB rotation and nailed the first one as well, but actually bombed the...
I just finished my specialties rotation in nursing school and I must say, OB and L&D seem very attractive to me right now, and I'm just saying this from experience. It was the clinical rotation I...
For the jackets.. I would honestly hold off on getting one until you see the temperature of the classrooms and hospital where you will be going. If you are someone who's always cold (like me), wearing...
From what I understand, there was a re-vamp of the uniforms where they changed the logo. The old one looks like a circle and the new one is no longer a circle, only writing. There are still students...
If getting shots is hindering you from wanting to go to nursing school, you have a long road ahead of you. If there are things you are hesitant about before even starting the program, then boy are you...
Yes they are sticklers at North with organization of your binder, but it makes things a lot easier for you in future semesters if you keep up with it as you should. You will need to turn it in at the...
Anyone who has not gone through or is currently attending nursing school will never understand. Just stick with your classmates if you can, form study groups with them, and ignore the rest. If it...
I've heard of a few people doing the embroidering, but I don't know where or how they got the specific patch or image you need. Plus the amount of money you spend on the plain top, patch, and gas will...
As far as the critical thinking books.. That's entirely personal. My advice would be to go to the bookstore and flip through the books. If it all seems like common sense to you and you feel like it...
I also got my GED but I still had the papers they gave me when I completed it, the results page and actual diploma so I just gave broward college those. I'm a bit OCD and keep all important files...
The orange dosage calculations book should be fine. You honestly don't even really need it for the first semester unless you're really awful at math and need to do hundreds of practice questions and...
For clinical you need all white, preferably leather shoes (just not cloth). This is incase anything spills on your feet in the hospital (i.e. someone else's bodily fluids, blood, etc) which I am sure...
I'm not Hammockbound but I can answer a few of your questions since I am procrastinating on my studying at the moment.. ha. :whistling:My suggestion to you would be to buy all of your books. That is...
Go to the financial aid office at whichever campus you plan to attend and ask about scholarships for nursing students. They have ones specifically for us. Also, to whoever asked me what hospitals we...
Not sure if they are using the lab yet at central but I do know the simulation center is up and running, and just so you know.. I go to north and we use central campus' sim center too Students from...
They don't pick for you. When you go to orientation they will tell you a date and time when they are going to open up registration. I think for ours last year it was the next day at 8 am. You will get...
It's not recommended to work during the first two semesters. I can't even see when you would be able to except weekends.. and that's the time you need to study. So unless you can study at work I would...
