  1. Where's my planner nerds at?!

    HisKonstantine replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I currently have an Uncalendar. It love it! It's really broken down nicely and has tons of space for getting everything in there. I'm going to need a new one come Fall though. Following this post for...

  2. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    HisKonstantine replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    I do a combo of both. I like to have my laptop open with the pre-printed lecture notes up. I also have a hard copy that I use to write, highlight, draw, etc. If there's something that I can't write...

  3. Need some help with learning how to memorize.

    HisKonstantine replied to HisKonstantine's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks guys for the great recommendations!! I'm definitely a kinesthetic/visual learner so just making outlines and such seems to help more than actually using them to study. I do type notes in class...

  4. Need some help with learning how to memorize.

    HisKonstantine posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey all! Third semester nursing student here in the middle of a Peds/OB summer semester. I'm finding myself a little overwhelmed but ready to really make sense of all of this new material. I'm...

  5. Valencia College pre-nursing student

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

    I'm currently in Seminole State's nursing program ("rival" of Valencia). I initially started at Valencia but my GPA wasn't even close to high enough to get in. I know they look at your pre-req GPA so...

  6. Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    HisKonstantine replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    I'm working on my second try at nursing school. The first time I got admitted, I blew it. I was 20 years old and not ready for what was in store for me. I tried to skate through thinking it would be...

  7. Nursing school pain

    HisKonstantine replied to Hollyhocks720's topic in General Students

    In order to be a nursing instructor, a nurse must have their Masters in Nursing Education. They certainly are more than "just a nurse". In terms of how I get through class is pretty simple. There's...

  8. Would I ever get over the fear of hurting people?

    HisKonstantine replied to Potato 007's topic in General Students

    I don't know a single nurse that likes to hurt their patient. But it's just part of the job and yes, you will get over your fear and succeed with the tasks. I'm still in school but when I'm clinical...

  9. nursing school THAT hard?

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

    It certainly isn't a cake-walk. It's not a matter of memorizing a bunch of information and then regurgitating it back during a test. Learning the info is only the first step. The difficulty is...

  10. I made poor judgments during my university days and need some real advice.

    HisKonstantine replied to jyoo1017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that for my ADN program, they only looked at the GPA of my pre-reqs rather than my overall GPA. This was great for me because I, like you, royally screwed up when I first went to college. My...

  11. Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    HisKonstantine replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    A lot (if not all?) of Peds units will weigh diapers in order to monitor I&O. Seems like a pretty simple way to just transition over into an adult setting. (And before I get berated for using the...

  12. SIGH*FAILING AVERAGE

    HisKonstantine replied to faithlovehope's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In all honesty, it isn't very likely that you're going to knock out a 95 on the final if you haven't even come close to that on previous exams. Not saying that it isn't possible and that you shouldn't...

  13. Passing cut offs

    HisKonstantine replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    My program requires a 78% exam average in order for any other course work to factor in. They are also kind enough to round up if you're on the cusp. (77.5% is truly the magic number) But I have no...

  14. Mental Health and Basic Med-Surg done!

    HisKonstantine posted a topic in General Students

    Just finals left but I'm already considering myself done with this semester. I absolutely hated Mental Health (no offense to those MH nurses around here, my instructors were just awful) and I'm super...

  15. failed nursing school again

    HisKonstantine replied to snowybee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been there before. I applied to nursing school in Fall of '06 and was accepted the first time. I was 20 years old and still working on my pre-reqs. I squeaked through Nursing 1 with a C and ended...

  16. So excited!

    HisKonstantine replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!! How exciting! I'm currently finishing up my second semester and about to jump right into summer OB/Peds. It's a crazy ride but can really be a lot of fun if you keep your ducks in a...

  17. Mental Health and Basic Med-Surg done!

    HisKonstantine replied to HisKonstantine's topic in General Students

    Thanks! You too! We didn't have any drop at the withdrawal deadline but I have a feeling we are going to lose a whole bunch after the MH final. Very thankful that I'm able to go into these finals...

  18. Almost done with 3rd Semester, I see the light

    HisKonstantine replied to Dohardthings's topic in General Students

    Surviving but not exactly thriving anymore. My house is a mess and the kiddo hasn't had her hair washed in too many days but we're still here and I'm still kicking butt in school. Can't imagine 8...

  19. Planner for nursing school

    HisKonstantine replied to mecapon91's topic in General Students

    I use an Uncalendar and I love it. It breaks down each week with so much space everywhere so I never get

  20. Help I failed out of a Nursing Program in NY

    HisKonstantine replied to g8sushma's topic in General Students

    I failed out of nursing school back in 2008. I applied to a new school last April and got accepted my first try. It depends on why you failed too. Poor grades vs. something on your academic record...

  21. How does everyone else survive while you go to school?

    HisKonstantine replied to blackberry74's topic in General Students

    I live in Leesburg!! I am in the Nursing program at Seminole State College though. Howdy neighbor! Currently, I don't work but my husband actually works two jobs. We have an almost-three-year-old so...
