  1. When can I work?

    brit.pz replied to andiescandies's topic in General Students

    It would be tough but I think you could do it. How long is your nursing program? If it's still two years of nursing classes you could feasibly add on 1-2 of the non-nursing classes each semester....

  2. When can I work?

    brit.pz replied to andiescandies's topic in General Students

    I'm confused about what you're asking. Are you asking if you should complete your nursing prereqs (history, econ, etc) while your taking your nursing classes? If so, you're going to have to take these...

  3. When can I work?

    brit.pz replied to andiescandies's topic in General Students

    From my understanding you will have to graduate, apply and register to take the NCLEX, pass NCLEX, and then once you're hired in somewhere you can start

  4. Meds?!!

    brit.pz replied to x0xerika's topic in General Students

    I would definitely refocus on A&P instead of worrying about meds. I think worrying about medications this far in advance would be pointless because you don't know what medications your instructor...

  5. ATI Fundamentals Final

    brit.pz replied to JulianaRose's topic in General Students

    The only suggestion I would come up with is to read the ATI book from the very beginning, take notes, and re-read. Treat it like you would any other class. I didn't read - only took practice tests and...

  6. C in Fundamentals

    brit.pz replied to green_girl's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain! Toward the end of the semester in our fundamental type class I was on the brink of failing. We are required to get a 77% to pass and I was sitting with a 77.7%. It was terrifying....

  7. About Microbiology

    brit.pz replied to reecemay10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This probably varies by school and by teacher but I personally did much better in Micro than I did in A&P. It's so tough to describe the course because I'm not sure how in depth your program/class...

  8. Nursing School Schedule??

    brit.pz replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    I love these type of threads! In our program first semester would look like this: Nursing Concepts: 3 credit hours -- This class just went over some nursing basics like the nursing process,...

  9. Professors fail everyone?

    brit.pz replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    More than likely. Now do you mean you are 4 points away from a passing grade or 4% away from a passing grade? I know in our program (and many others) there is no rounding of grades - no ifs ands or...

  10. How to prepare for nursing school?

    brit.pz replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    I wish I would have spent some more time reviewing some basics from A&P. I don't say it's necessary but I think the review would have helped. I also wish I would have taken up some time to work...

  11. What happens in Nursing School?

    brit.pz replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Students

    I love reading how nursing programs vary! In my program we had our orientation a few weeks before classes started. There a few instructors and the dean just went over things like immunizations,...

  12. Appropriate orientation attire

    brit.pz replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Maybe try to ask some current nursing students at your school what they wore to orientation? I believe this all depends on your school and what occurs during your orientation. Our orientation...

  13. Feeling overwhelmed - not getting it (Update)

    brit.pz posted a topic in General Students

    Sorry this is so long!!! Hello again everyone, I just wanted to give an update on how things have been going and say thank you for all the kind words and messages I've received about my clinical...

  14. Feeling overwhelmed - not getting it (Update)

    brit.pz replied to brit.pz's topic in General Students

    Then later on it was time to put in my physical assessment and my instructor asked me about any redness and if I had checked her abdominal folds (my patient was obese) ..sh*t! I know I had seen when I...

  15. Feeling overwhelmed - not getting it (Update)

    brit.pz replied to brit.pz's topic in General Students

    The following week we were instructed to shadow a nurse to learn about delegation and help when we could. My nurse was wonderful and gave me many great tips, the day went very smoothly. Toward the end...

  16. Feeling overwhelmed - not getting it

    brit.pz posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to vent - not really looking for advice but if you have any I'd surely consider it.. I've just finished my third week of nursing school and I'm just feeling so overwhelmed,...
