So i have a question; the other day I was having a pretty hectic shift. I had a total of eight patients, three of them were brand new admits that were just coming onto the floor. I also was told to move two of my patients to other rooms because they ...

I was pretty busy that I didn't pay attention to everything she was doing, but I do know that in nursing school, we are taught to always do a complete head to toe assessment, which she obviously missed. As for doing the vital signs, no, there was not...

I'll be starting med-surg next semester and I am wondering what information I can study or what books I can study from to prepare myself for the class? Is med-surg kind of like a pathophys class?

I'm not sure if we can purchase a syllabus earlier, and I'll be in Med-Surg 1. My fundamentals/assmnt instructor teaches at OCC! Or she did? Jenaye Lisbon. I absolutely loved her! I attend Baker College. I do love to re-write my notes. Actually, wha...

I received my letter today and I am officially a nursing student in the BSN program! This is one of the best days of my life. It feels great knowing that I have come this far and that there are better things ahead. I'm ready for the no life, study ha...

Seriously? What did you think I was asking advice for, if I should travel to the moon? I wrote Anyone with advice on travel nursing and if it would be okay for me? I didn't ask if a fortune teller could tell me my future and if I would enjoy my job. ...

I believe I'm asking my question fairly clear. I'm not wanting to know if nursing is for everyone, because I know it is not. I'm not asking about dialysis nursing, or else I would have gone to a dialysis thread. I am not asking for advice on if I wil...

Thank you for that remark, but I kindly asked for advice. I understand my situation is not going to be the same in a few years when I graduate, but I am simply wanting to know if travel nursing is only for certain people or if it works for anyone. If...

I am about to starting nursing school in the BSN program. I am thinking about travel nursing and also want advice. I am 29, I live with my boyfriend & our 6 yo son. I am currently renting a house & have lived here for 2 years now. We plan on ...

So right now I am waiting to hear if I am in my BSN program. I am currently working as an administrative assistant at a physical therapy clinic, but I want to get the experience I am going to need once I become a nurse. A friend of mine mentioned bec...

So if I finish one semester of nursing school, I can take the CNA exam? That would make things so much easier!

I found one school that has the program, but I want to see other options because what they offer conflicts with my school schedule I have now.

After you graduate nursing school and pass your boards, do you normally go for whatever job is available? Or do you have good luck at landing a job in your choice of environment? How do you know which area you would want to work in? I would love to w...

Update: I emailed the head of the nursing department and she said that the program is accredited by the CCNE. My input on why there are not that many students who applied, compared to how many they take is possibly because this program is newly avail...

I've been asking around these thread for advice on how and what to study before nursing school begins. Here's my situation; I work 40 hours mon-thurs, plus I am a mother of a 6yo boy. I'm currently an MA and decided to go back to school to become an...

Baker is a not-for-profit college and when I search under my program (pre-licensure BSN program), this is what they have under the accreditation tab; [h=3]Approval / Accreditation[/h]The baccalaureate program at Baker College is accredited by the Com...

Okay, that makes sense! Thank you=)

So based off of what that says, it is accredited? I don't know much about accreditation, so it's all new to me!

Exactly! I have so much free time, and I love to read so why not? If I get exhausted, all I have to do is put the book down. I don't feel rushed and I feel more comfortable learning this way.

Update: I found this.. Does this mean that it is accredited?

Awesome, thank you! I started going through it last week and writing my own notes on it. I haven't got through much of it, so I wasn't sure exactly what was in it. I'll definitely keep this one handy! Thanks again.

I actually already have this book, if this is the one you're referring to! So you recommend this, even over the pathophys book?

If you had to choose one book to study from to gather basic information that you would need for the program, which would you choose? A&P or Pathophysiology?

If you had to choose one of the books to primarily study from, which one would you choose? Pathophysiology or A&P book?

Very helpful, thank you!!
