  1. ipod touch applications for clinical

    GeneralJinjur replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I used Skyscape for Davis' Drug Guide. Our school required that we buy it and RN Diseases and a lab values program. When my Palm Pilot died after 3rd semester and I replaced it with the Touch, I...

  2. New Saunders comprehensive NCLEX-RN review

    GeneralJinjur replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Since Melmarie mentioned that the 4th edition had tips for each question, I opened it this morning to see what else I'd missed. The 4th also has a comprehensive test that will develop a 6-week study...

  3. Help Destress

    GeneralJinjur replied to Ms_Study's topic in General Students

    Are the questions on your exams anything like the NCLEX questions you are practicing or do they seem to come out of left field? It may be that you are learning the material appropriately and the...

  4. New Saunders comprehensive NCLEX-RN review

    GeneralJinjur replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I installed the 5th CD last night and it's nicer than the 4th. It has a nifty comprehensive test that will generate a 6-week study plan based on what you missed. I had done a 265 question test the...

    I'm in Colorado. Good luck to you, too and happy

  7. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    GeneralJinjur replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    My school has had 100% passing rate for the past few years. They did not require a passing score on HESI, but we had a 50% attrition rate. If I had to do it over, I would definitely consider a...

  8. how many wks.ATT waiting time?

    GeneralJinjur replied to L.A's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can book a slot for next month, then change the appointment if you feel you are not ready. Pearson lets you move the appointment if you give more than 24 hours notice; otherwise you lose the...

  9. Drug Testing for NS

    GeneralJinjur replied to PhiladelphiaLove's topic in General Students

    It was required at my school. We were sitting in class when it was announced. We had to drive immediately to the lab and arrive within a certain time

  10. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    GeneralJinjur replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Citylights89, you have the advantage of being young. You can pick up and move to one of those rural hospitals that is hiring, pick up an extra shift every other week or so and kick the debt to the...

  11. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    GeneralJinjur replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    My loans are a little over $5K. I have found an in-state RN-BSN program that will be

  12. Last semester, a little worried

    GeneralJinjur replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    I had similar concerns before my last semester. It's scary when you see the gap between the way you function and the way the experienced nurses are on the floor. I felt like my senior practicum was...

  13. GPA in ADN program

    GeneralJinjur replied to NurseinNV's topic in General Nursing

    All the state schools I have looked at have lower GPA requirements for their MSN programs. Maybe you should shoot for one of the RN-BSN programs that allow you to take just one class at a time. With...

  14. Facebook or Blackboard

    GeneralJinjur replied to elizhealy's topic in General Students

    *snort* All my instructors said the same thing, but I used it for a dozen classes with no problems. Our school switched to D2L last year and the instructors are much

  15. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    GeneralJinjur replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just head over to the student forum and see how many people are begging for "mneumonics" to help them learn. That'll get you cringing over something

  16. Facebook or Blackboard

    GeneralJinjur replied to elizhealy's topic in General Students

    Our school uses Nurses Lounge.com. It's fine, but I've heard of other SNAs setting themselves up as a class on Blackboard. I like that idea,

  17. I did it! I graduate tomorrow!!!

    GeneralJinjur replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    I graduated last Thursday and I care! It feels so good, doesn't it?! It's like I can finally draw a deep breath for the first time in 5 years. And that's cool that you were able to work the entire...

  18. National American University ADN Program

    GeneralJinjur replied to bitbitzmom's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Can you explain why you are concerned about one version of Associates Degree over another? I've never heard that objection before. Metro is teaming up with FRCC to offer BSN classes on their campus...

  19. Miss/Skip last PM clinical tell the truth(NEED time 2 study 4 final or fib?

    GeneralJinjur replied to elizzakay's topic in General Students

    I'd be honest, but would the participation points hurt you more than the missed study time? Also, if it's anything like my clinicals before big tests, everyone is keyed up and verbally reviewing the...

  20. What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

    GeneralJinjur replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    There's a methodology to med administration. You make sure you have the right drug, dose, route (oral, IV, etc.), patient, time and documentation. Before you actually give the drug, you verify it...

  21. Day in the life of a new RN Nursing student?

    GeneralJinjur replied to IrishGrrl19's topic in General Students

    I have 3 kids and my youngest was 4 when I started the nursing program. I think kids are the perfect antidote to nursing school. When you come home all frazzled about tests or studying, they don't...

  22. ADN Program Question

    GeneralJinjur replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Hmm, that is a much milder schedule than my first semester. Ours was a full day of lecture, a full day of lab, a half day of Pharm, one or two 9.5 hour clinical shifts that started at 5:30 or 6:00,...

  23. What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

    GeneralJinjur replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    At my school, we spent less than a day on history and theory. Fundamentals was all about the nursing process, skills, prioritization of care, the nurse's scope of practice (a.k.a. what you can do on...

  24. Good study guides for Maternal Nursing?

    GeneralJinjur replied to M.LEE S.N.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I really liked the Straight A's for this class and didn't feel the need for anything else. If you haven't given birth, something like the What to Expect book would be handy for an easy

  25. I cannot believe it! I got it!

    GeneralJinjur replied to NursePati87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's fantastic. Yay for
