    What I've Learned In Nursing School So Far

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    The other day a student showed up completely hungover to our first fundamentals exam. Hopefully this won't be a pattern for

    Should I take TEAS prep classes?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to Tinkk's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It depends on if you think you can spare the money. Personally, I used that money on practice assessments on the ATI Testing website and ended up doing very well on the TEAS without a class. If you...

    Daytona State College Nursing for Fall 2015

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to jaxbax92's topic in Florida Nursing

    The first semester we have class three days per week. The first day we have lecture for about 6 hours, then the next day is Nursing Process Lab which is about 4 hours, then 8 hours of clinical the...

    Hospitals that hire nurses with less than a year of experience

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to stepdownRN88's topic in Florida Nursing

    UF Health in Jacksonville has a reputation for being pretty welcoming to new grads, as long as you don't mind a job as a trauma

    Nurse Slang Yo!

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Same here! I'm a medical scribe and I push a "WOW" around. We had to change the name because a nurse made a really big stink when she thought someone was calling her a

    TEAS!

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to Semlet's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I did pretty well when I took the TEAS. I recommend the ATI study guide and the practice assessments you can get from the ATI Testing website too. They're not cheap but they are the closest thing to...

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

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Don't give up! Remember how hard you worked to get here. I felt the same anxiety regarding my blood pressure sign offs. I knew exactly how to do it, but I couldn't seem to get the clinical skill down....

    In search of advice ASAP please!

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to Daniellejeannine's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You know how much you can handle. Personally, my last semester of pre-reqs I took Micro, A&P 2, English, Theatre Appreciation, and Speech with straight A's. I also had an office job. I think what...

    I need tips for taking a manual BP please!

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Students

    Make sure that you have a decent stethoscope that works for you personally, because that could be a problem. One thing that helped me was listening to Korotkoff sounds online and using BP simulators...

    Did anyone find nursing school challenging?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to RNCoda's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in nursing school and I definitely find it challenging. For me, it's the combination of a rapid pace, wealth of information, and the shift from memorization and regurgitation to thinking...

    low GPA

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to futurnurse16's topic in Nursing Career

    It's true that not every single nurse in existence has made straight A's in school, but you can't pretend that poor grades in the major sciences has no connection to how well one does in nursing...

    low GPA

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to futurnurse16's topic in Nursing Career

    I really don't mean to be a downer, but any good nursing program will be unbelievably more difficult than your pre-reqs and therefore requires a very strong grasp of the sciences. Have you considered...

    Medication math help

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to kemurphy's topic in General Students

    Dimensional Analysis rocks. It's an (almost) foolproof way to include conversions and other variables all in the same math problem. Look into the book, "Dimensional Analysis for Meds". Also there are...

    low GPA

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to futurnurse16's topic in Nursing Career

    Would it be possible for you to retake A&P? That B- is not going to look good to any reputable nursing

    Why the weight gain in Nursing School?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    Weight gain is (as you well know) a complicated issue that varies from person to person. Generally, I think it's closely related to stress, lack of sleep, and how easy it is to eat unhealthy food when...

    Chemistry :(

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to beautyandbrains's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into Dimensional Analysis, if your teacher doesn't already have you do this. We use DA in nursing school for med

    Nursing a good career?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to asmada's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing is usually something students go into when they are pretty sure about it. It's incredibly stressful, and if you don't think you can handle high-stress for prolonged periods of time, I might...

    Give me a glimmer of hope. ..

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am a first semester nursing student. My main instructor doesn't have anything beyond an MSN, and this is in north Florida. I go to a state

    Failed a class - should I appeal??

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    If we don't make 78%, we fail in my program. You're lucky that your school doesn't have that grading scale. Honestly, I know this seems harsh, but would you want to be treated by a nurse that was...

    What should I do?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to luthernd50's topic in General Students

    You have to look out for your own financial needs. I think it's sweet that you made such a wonderful connection, but do what is best for

    What separates sucessful nursing students from the rest

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I think one classic mistake some students make is assuming nursing school is like any other major. It's not. They have so far been able to skate by with cramming for exams, passing those exams, and...

    Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

    I appreciate you coming here and trying to gain some understanding of what your girlfriend is studying and pursuing. That's wonderful. I can only speak from individual experience, but let me just say...

    A&P II

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to kamck15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    QUIZLET. I say this to everyone because I'm such a huge fan and it helped me so much. I used it for two semesters of A&P as well as Micro, and I'm also using it in my nursing program. It will help...

    worried about background check

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to RN171's topic in General Students

    I am not in a position to be an authority on legal advice, so take this with a grain of salt, but I doubt that it would be a problem if you weren't convicted and were only

    An Atheist Nurse in King James Hospital

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to EMSnurse411's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I consider myself an agnostic atheist. I live in Florida, so as you can imagine, I'm among a lot of religious nursing students. If a patient asked me to pray with them, I'd probably just silently sit...
