I left that test feeling like I knew nothing. It is going to be tourture waiting 48 hrs. All the prep in the world and I don't think it would have helped. Thanks I needed to get that out.

Update *** I passed !!! YEAH!!!

Sorry she is having to go this ... but she was lucky she got the chance to make up the failed course IMO. I'm in a CC with a 75% required to pass. If you fail a course you are out. Period. If you are re-admitted to the program within the next 5 y...

Check your messages.

Ditto. I am also in TX at a CC and they strive to maintain that 100% Of course they only retain 50% of the students who originally started the program but are trying to up those #'s too

Perhaps you can present then have some Q's and A's afterward and throw out candy to the one who gets it right. We loved it when one of our instructors did that for us.

I am in OB this semester. I can't wait for cliniclas to start I am really interested in this field. I may eventually become a midwife. We had Pedi this summer and I liked that a lot too. I too have had two children and am finding out it is so muc...

You have only been in for two weeks don't expect yourself to "think " like a nurse yet. Nursing school is there to teach you how to "critically think" I think I heard that phrase so much in my first year that it will forever haunt me .lol Give yo...

I'm jealous I missed it when it was here. I've heard nothing but great tings about it though. Have a fun time! :)

In my program there is a set Curriculum THe courses vary over the 2 years and are set by the dept. On average we have 3 nursing classes a semester this includes clinicals. Some classes go hand in hand with others. Check with your schools catalog ...

My advice would be get with a small group of people for studying and you buy one and have the others buy a different book. Then you can swap amongst yourselves. If you find that one book helps much more than the other then you can always purchase i...

I love my danskos. THey have molded perfectly to my feet. I have flat feet and weak ankles so I needed the sturdiness of the danskos.

Evolve has a good set of questions that we had with our text.

You can go with the cheaper 12 dollar scopes and try cutting the tubing between 12" - 16" . A little tip from an ICU nurse from when my grandad passed away.

TX is a compact state.

My best advice is to kill them with kindness. Offer to do anything you can to help them out. In my experience if you prove yourself to be competent they tend to open up a bit and become friendlier and they alos just might help you seek out skills t...

I'd also like to add that I bf my daughter for 14 1/2 months and she refused to take a bottle of EBM at all. What she ended up doing was something called reverse cycling. She feed a lot at night (thank goodness we co slept). I finally was able to...

There are some super quite pumps that fit directley into your bra. Let me see if I can find a link to them. http://www.motheringfromtheheart.com/catalog/42.html

Add me to the list I am half way done and my kids are 2 1/2 and almost 4

Does anyone have any opinions on which is better from a student perspective? I am looking to buy some PDA software for school. I will more than likely get some kind of bundle. Please y'all tell me what you can't live without in clinicals. Thanks

75 at my school

I have seen it done in my program (ADN) The only requirement with regards to clinicals is a Doctor's waiver. I'm fairly certain that you cannot be kicked out just because you get pregnant but that doesn't mean they would find something else to bust...

Hey all. I have a group project due on Wed over flight nursing and we(my group) are having trouble finding info on this particular specialty. Some answers we need are. Job availability? Job responsibility Job growth/potential Expected salary Pros/...

Can I join the group too? I am taking fast track A&P 1 and 2. Also taking a PHED class online. thankfully I have a few courses already done. It should help in lightning my load during actual nursing school.
