So my school was about 20ish to 30 mins from home but that varies on what time I leave home and if there is a lot of traffic. My class started at 8 I left around 640 or 630 am to get to school around 7 or so, I like being a bit early. Clinicals kind ...

A highly individual preference thing. I've seen a classmate have the textbook on her screen, it is very handy for referring to in class during discussions. If you are a traditional student reading on the screen may be foreign.

Great job. Have a bit of a breather now and gather books and supplies as you have the list. Download some nursing apps esp the nclex apps onto your phone they will be very helpful during school to prepare you for your exams. it is helpful to go over ...

I was planning on applying to another backup school in case I didn't get into my primary choice school and luckily I didn't have to apply to school number two. ADN programs are pretty competitive too it's nuts, but then bsn programs are also.

If anything wrote down some notes/key points about what you want to talk about specifically and also possibly some questions for your instructor if you have any.

Nursing nclex apps! Keep practicing the nclex style questions pertaining to your topic. the questions won't be word for word same on your test but it will help. also the success books by Davis are pretty good, they contain so much questions. I've hea...

Good luck taking the TEAS and really focus on that.each program and cohort will have different people applying and their stats will determine that particular cohort point cutoff as each year changes.

Just make sure that future nursing programs you apply to accept your online micro class/ lab portion if you have that available.

You have to check with the programs you plan on applying what their policies are for retakes and what courses you can retake and how many retakes they accept. just something to keep in mind as they can be picky about retakes.

The big debate. You don't want to go so cheap but not super expensive either(sad day if it grows legs). The sound quality is important for sure.

Online is definitely convenient. You must make sure that the programs you're applying to states that they accept courses taken online and which courses to be taken online. you'd want to found that out before enrolling in the said course. Are you in a...

From what I gathered doing adn or asn and then doing the bridge program RN to Bsn is a good way to save money. You can work while doing the bridge program. Many have considered doing online programs as well. Im currently in an adn program and I plan...

If you're allowed to go the day before, do really good research. Take down important information about your patient and don't skimp out on their meds and there may be a lot. I had a clinical instructor who loved to ask about meds, if they had any pro...

Congrats

That really varies, as each cohort brings in new sets of applicants. Each program may have different point totals. have you found data on previous cohorts acceptance points for your program?

Still a student but I'm loving the nclex mastery app. The success books by Davis especially the q&a ones, I have so many tabs in the med surg book.

What you wrote sounds like how I am. I can't be around others I absorb the information differently from others. And even hours before the exam there's people quizzing each other and I can't be in their presence either. I have noticed that doing a lot...

Back to the grind when they start posting stuff up on blackboard online and receiving the booklist.. We can do this!

Congrats.sounds like we are in a similar boat- I'm back at school during late august for 3rd semester which I have no clue what I'm taking yet(med surg 3, gerontology ,psych, med surg 4).im also planning to keep myself busy too!

Great job! I was in your position last summer and by golly a year goes by so fast. get your books when you get your list and chill a little bit before school starts. I would recommend a recorder if you don't have one, some nursing apps on your phone ...

Great job

You would have to do research and look at the program you want to apply for. Do they say specifically what courses and how many times it could be retaken? Some programs can be strict on this so look into it. also don't take the teas until you feel re...

Definitely do as much nclex style questions as you can pertaining to what you are learning.its a good way to study. A great app is nclex mastery. I also loved using the med surg success book second edition Davis as mentioned earlier, it's a great boo...

I've taken many summers nonstop and it can be not so fun. Keep working at it and don't forget to take small breaks.

What classes are you taking for summer right now? Are they non science prereqs combined with sciences? Summer courses go by pretty fast so don't get behind on your readings and hw, try to study daily. Don't try to work too much as well, you do need s...
