    My classmates using Test Banks in Nursing school

    G019 replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Students

    Wow I remember this thread from a while back. It’s beneficial to just focus on yourself. Do whatever you need to succeed through your nursing program so that you can graduate, take your boards, and...

    G019 replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    The school is what you make of it. The best advice I could give anyone planning to attend WCU Dallas is to have a solid support system outside of the classroom. If you work, consider making...

    Quitting nursing school?

    G019 replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

    It's a stable career. I knew a nurse who used her earnings to support her passion of owning her own business not related to healthcare. Once she earned enough in her business to support her family,...

    Already been told I shouldn't be a nurse (Rant)

    G019 replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    You may never have to see that woman again. At least for two years. It's irritating I know. You'll encounter people questioning your intelligence ALL the time. Stay gracious. Let your good work speak...

    My classmates using Test Banks in Nursing school

    G019 replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Students

    The NCLEX is a practically a bank of 5k test questions. I'm sure it would be quite difficult to remember them all. As one poster said just focus on yourself. As long as it doesn't affect your grades...

    G019 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I can understand that your first day of clinicals may have not been what you would have expected. It is also okay to vent your frustration on a public forum. Try not to take feedback you received...

    Refusing to change/toilet pts

    G019 replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    Ultimately I think it's where you work. I've had some nurses although they were kind, run me ragged. I have a hard time saying no. Unfortunately I was use to not having a lunch/bathroom break despite...

    G019 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember watching a video of an OR nurse who was celebrating her 90th birthday. I believe she still practices to this day. That lady was moving around faster than her colleagues half her

    Why is A&P so hard?

    G019 replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    I agree with the poster above. Crash Course, Khan Academy, Quizlet, and Easy Notecards are all great resources. It will feel like a lot in the beginning but it's mostly

    Should I work weekends during nursing school?

    G019 replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    If you don't have to work just focus on doing your best in your classes. Maybe closer to graduation you could consider applying for a healthcare position just to get your foot in the door. Best of...

    Nursing with a criminal record

    G019 replied to darkbeauty1992's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Talk to your school. They will know a definite answer for that. This will ensure that if in cases you cannot sit for the boards, you wouldn't have wasted time and money finishing your

    Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    G019 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like one poster said, if you feel physically capable of doing the work go for it. You've earned your CNA recently correct? Why not seek an opinion from your instructor or other nurses in your area....

    Chemistry has got me down

    G019 replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry was hard for me as well. It felt like a foreign language to me. I started watching chemistry videos on YouTube by a professor named Tyler Dewitt. It saved my bacon lol. He broke it down in a...

    In the vocab section there are a few basic medical terms. The same ones you seen in the HESI book. The first time I took the HESI I didn't do so well I studied my behind off but failed the math...

    PCT who is torn on what to do

    G019 replied to Hudso1cm's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I know a few students who've managed. It's not easy at all but some may not have the luxury to scale back otherwise. It's a sacrifice you make to get to where you want to be. It would be nice if...

    HESI A2

    G019 replied to Jtingle44's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    If you are allowed to start with any section, I recommend starting with the math portion just to get it out the way. I took the HESI again a few months back and from what I can remember the mag...

    Some schools list credit equivalences on their website in relation to other colleges. For example : PHIL 1310 at one school may transfer to PHIL 1301 at another school. If that makes sense. (Random...

    After prereq downtime.

    G019 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not too sure that I'm understanding what your advisor said about certification in regards to getting your BLS. It's usually valid for two years through the AHA. Does your school not accept a BLS...

    What do you want to specialize in? And why?

    G019 replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First I had my mind set on being an OR nurse before I even finished my CNA class. I haven't had any experience as a tech in the OR so that idea is still up in the air. I've floated to many other...

    No. What I meant to say was that they are wanting us to take either Intro to A&P, BIOL 1308 or BIOL 1406 first before taking A&P1. Intro to A&P doesn't not replace A&P1. Sorry for the...

    I spoke with an advisor today at TC and was told in Fall 2015 you can either take Intro to A&P 2404, BIOL 1308 or BIOL 1406 due to the fact that the course content in A&P 1 is changing to...
