  1. Need some help on a nursing dx

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great! Thanks! :) I am finding it difficult about it being a fictitious patient as we also have to do an assessment. The general information I originally posted is really the only information we have...

  2. Find your Specialty Quiz

    augurey replied to Sisyphus_01's topic in General Students

    I got Certified Nurse Midwife which is actually something I'm interested in. Since I'm still at the beginning of it all, I don't want to get my heart set on one thing, but I'm really interested in...

  3. Pregnant in Traditional BSN Program

    augurey replied to swanky's topic in General Students

    How is your pregnancy while in school going so far? I just found I'm pregnant with #2 and just started my second semester. Have things been going smoothly so far? Have you found anything to be...

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

  5. How do you avoid distractions while studying?

    augurey replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I just found one called "self control for study". Though I'm not sure if it's available for all phones. May try different search words? I'm downloading a self control thing for my phone and for my...

  6. Nursing Student Success course

    augurey replied to dorkypanda's topic in General Students

    Do you know how many classes you will have per 8 weeks? Your semesters sound like ours - 1 semester broken down into 2 - 8 week sessions. It's hard. The way it was told to me before starting was...

  7. Nursing Student Success course

    augurey replied to dorkypanda's topic in General Students

    It's only 2 weeks off! I'm enjoying them, but I'm actually ready to get back into the swing of things. I haven't had any clinicals yet. My program prefers to have the pre-reqs taught along side the...

  8. Nursing Student Success course

    augurey replied to dorkypanda's topic in General Students

    Based on your link, it looks like it'd be helpful! I can only speculate as I'm just finishing my first semester, but I do know that it helped with the second half of the semester. A lot of my...

  9. Nursing Student Success course

    augurey replied to dorkypanda's topic in General Students

    Ours was part of our program (first 8 weeks of the first semester, 1 credit). Actually, the class was called Success Strategies; however, it was about 1/4 success strategies and 3/4 med term. The main...

  10. Reflections of your first semester?

    augurey replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester last night! I don't know how, but somehow I managed all As :) I nearly jumped off the couch and screamed when my final grade was posted last night for my last class...

  13. Just took my final

    augurey replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    You aren't alone! I have my A&P finals tonight and tomorrow (lecture and lab). I only have to get 52/140 to pass with a C, but I'm still very anxious about testing. It sounds like you've done very...

  14. Health Insurance

    augurey replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    This. Definitely this. Open enrollment is only for those that just want to sign up. There are always extenuating circumstances (life events) as the previous poster mentioned. Definitely have your...

  15. Lessons in Turkey Anatomy

    augurey replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    My program includes A&P rather than requiring it prior (if previously taken, it must have been taken within a year prior). Our biggest dissection was a cat. I carved the turkey for Thanksgiving....

  16. Yay!! On to block 3 for me!!!

    augurey replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Enjoy your break! A 5 week break sounds absolutely

  17. Health Insurance

    augurey replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    I quit my job to go to school. I was the one carrying the insurance. My husband works for a very small company so he isn't offered any through work. I looked into Obamacare when I first considered the...

  18. Unique question regarding # of TEAS attempts

    augurey replied to bumblebeee's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I wholeheartedly agree with the above poster about the ATI accounts. Definitely the wrong way to start out. Even if you didn't get caught right away, it could come back to bite you later on. Have you...

  19. How Hard Is the Actual TEAS?

    augurey replied to pearlbubbles's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I never did the test in the book, but I did form A and B online. What I think was great about the online tests is that it gives you an idea what to expect on the actual test as far as format. I would...

  20. Informal poll on grading scale

    augurey replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    We have: 80-84%: C 85 - 92%: B 93 - 100%: A They round up from 0.6 on up, and down from 0.5 and down; however, I don't know if they round up if the score is below 80% (say 79.9 - not sure). We also...

  21. Being hopful vs. Being realistic

    augurey replied to iDrumKing's topic in General Students

    Go by YOUR timeline, not your former classmates. I dropped out of college at 19 and again at 23, both times only completing one semester. I'm now 30 returning for nursing school. I have former...

  22. First semester of nursing school: done!

    augurey replied to laurenbianca10's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I'm glad that re-taking the class has been a positive experience! I have two more weeks left of my first semester. My finals are on the 17th and 18th. To be honest, I feel like next semester...

  23. Coffee, that life-saving java joe! Can you say, "Java Junkie"?

    augurey replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    lol it's not as bad as it sounds! It actually saves me money doing it that way. The coffee/caffeine shot is in one of those little creamer containers. It does the same as making a cup of coffee would....

  24. need help - no enthusiasm to finish nursing school

    augurey replied to karlsbad's topic in General Students

    I'm with those that say take a break and give yourself time to think about what you really want to do. You can always go back if you decide that nursing is the path you want to take. I know it may be...

  25. Coffee, that life-saving java joe! Can you say, "Java Junkie"?

    augurey replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I can't afford coffee shops, so I mostly stick with homemade coffee with an extra coffee/caffeine shot or two. Sometimes just the coffee/caffeine shot in a shot glass with some of my favorite
