  1. Took NCLEX yesterday

    HisKonstantine posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated nursing school in June and waited FOREVER for my ATT. So many of my cohort had already tested and started working while I was still waiting for the OK. But it finally came and I picked my...

  2. Receiving your ATT

    HisKonstantine replied to jessc16's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It took almost 8 weeks to get mine. I submitted everything on time. They just told me that there were so many other applicants right now that they were

  3. Question about nursing diagnosis 'related to' factors

    HisKonstantine replied to RagingRaptor's topic in General Students

    If this were my care plan, I would choose related to immobility because that's the most likely cause of skin breakdown. Yes, being overweight and receiving radiation can also cause breakdown but it...

  4. TEAS exam Failed.. Help!

    HisKonstantine replied to miems630's topic in General Students

    Well .. at least you're honest with yourself knowing that you weren't able to just wing it. I spent three months preparing for my TEAS. I suggest getting yourself a study guide specifically for the...

  5. What to expect at Mental Health Placement

    HisKonstantine replied to RN Annalee's topic in General Students

    While my mental health rotation was in a hospital rather than a home setting, their care is still the same. Student nurses do a lot of listening in their MH rotation. We're not there to fix their...

  6. Daytona or Seminole state nursing program Spring 2016

    HisKonstantine replied to LONDA17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in Seminole State's program. I can tell you that no one that was accepted into my class had any pre-reqs left to complete. Their policy is that you can apply and be accepted if you are...

  7. How do you stay sane during nursing school when you've failed a check off and you have to

    HisKonstantine replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    You let yourself be upset for a little while (seriously. a very very small amount of time.) and then you shake it off and conquer it. Skills check offs are intimidating no matter how confident you...

  8. Need something positive!

    HisKonstantine replied to FTRRNKT's topic in General Students

    In my program, the GPA wasn't too important. They were more interested in how well we had done in our pre-reqs and how long ago they were finished; the older, the

  9. Why the weight gain in Nursing School?

    HisKonstantine replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    I'm in my fourth semester and I've definitely gained weight. My eating habits haven't changed but my activity level certainly has. I find myself sitting on my butt waaaaay more than I was before...

  10. Paying for Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to tellio015's topic in General Students

    I go to Seminole State College in Florida. There's also Valencia Stage College here that does it as

  11. Paying for Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to tellio015's topic in General Students

    Have you looked into community college concurrent programs? My program is an ADN/BSN concurrent program. You do your BSN coursework as you're working on your ADN. Once you graduate with your ADN, you...

  12. Ebook or Textbook?

    HisKonstantine replied to Injection Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like to have my resources in eBook. I absolutely have to have my textbooks as a physical copy. I stare into those pages for hours. My eyes would fall out of my head if I tried to read a screen for...

  13. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    HisKonstantine replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I switch it up a little bit every semester depending on the instructor's teaching style and the content. This semester is Advanced Med-Surg so there's a lot of content. I'm typing my notes in class...

  14. I love Nursing School

    HisKonstantine replied to Golfer87's topic in General Students

    This was my entire OB class this past summer. The day before every exam, we had a lecture on brand new material. It was really rough. But! If I can do it, so can you! Good

  15. Online statistics class

    HisKonstantine replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I didn't take stats online, I took it traditionally on-campus. It doesn't involve a lot of math so I found it to be easier than previous courses. I could have done better in the class over-all but I...

  16. I give up!

    HisKonstantine replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Are we going to the same school? I feel like I could have written this. But instead of thinking about quitting, I'm focusing on just how close I am to graduating. Honestly, nursing school is a beast...

  17. Suggestions and tips for someone who's about to begin nursing school

    HisKonstantine replied to biancabrianna's topic in General Students

    Hello! Second year nursing student here. One thing that a lot of people in my program still haven't gotten used to is how "unstructured" nursing school is. Yes, there's a schedule. Yes, there are due...

  18. Survived the worst semester yet!

    HisKonstantine posted a topic in General Students

    This summer had the absolute worst semester of my program. It was Peds and OB during a shortened semester. We had an exam every week and an eight hour lecture day. Super brutal. But! It's finally over...

  19. Frustrated, feeling prejudged...

    HisKonstantine replied to brandiep1982's topic in General Students

    I have quite a few students in my class that started working in the medical field before they started nursing school. Techs, medics, EMTs, so on and so forth. They all start out thinking they know...

  20. Best planner for nursing school?

    HisKonstantine replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students

    For my first year of nursing school, I used the full-sized Uncalendar. I loved it. So much space to write in everything I needed. I finished it with the end of my third semester. I'm now going into my...

  21. What are you looking forward to...

    HisKonstantine replied to LovelyLocs's topic in General Students

    Getting a job doing something I love and then coming home from a long day and doing whatever I feel like! The whole not having homework thing is what I'm looking forward to the most at the moment....

  22. Nursing School Supplies

    HisKonstantine replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    I definitely second the laser printer! I wish I had one but ... I don't. For each class, I have a separate binder. I usually go for the 3" so there's plenty of room. I also use the 1-15 numbered...

  23. Nursing School and Being a parent?

    HisKonstantine replied to LunaHawk's topic in General Students

    It's hard. I won't lie. I have a three and a half year old and I'm going into my fourth semester. I have managed to maintain all A's and B's as well. I have an awesome support system that without, I...

  24. Any tips for a new nursing student?

    HisKonstantine replied to mursuli428's topic in General Students

    I'm almost finished my third semester (only 19 days to go!!). Organization is key, as others have already said. I like to have big binders for each class and keep them neat and pristine. That way...

  25. How much free time do you have while in school?

    HisKonstantine replied to TEXN's topic in General Students

    I'm currently in my third semester and I have very little free time. But it depends on the course load. I'm taking OB/Peds together this summer and it's insane. It's only 12 weeks instead of 15 so...
