Any suggestions will help :) I have looked at way too many book reviews and websites. I would appreciate opinions

Hello everyone, new graduate nurse here! I have my heart set on becoming a CRNA. Although, my gpa is not the best. I have a 3.18 overall but my sciences are a lot higher as well as nursing courses. I worked in a local hospital in the OR as a student ...

Hello everyone, I just finished my first semester! Woo hoo...I now have a month off of school ( so weird) but I was wondering if anyone can give me tips/book suggestions on how they studied for this class? I know it's going to take so much critical t...

Thanks meeep and RNdh I appreciate all the help and advice?

Thanks everyone! Y'all are so encouraging :) && seeing a lot of my friends graduating or already in classes like psych that failed a class is motivating. You can do it and bounce back from getting knocked down! :)

OMG! So I haven't been on this app long; but I have yet to see anyone talk about repeating a class. I actually started nursing school in the summer; brutal! Unfortunately, I did not pass fundamentals! It was very upsetting. All those study hours, tut...

Thank you runbabyRN and heather! I will look into what y'all have said. I definitely need to review my pharmacology it's been a while since I reviewed medications besides what my patients were on this semester at clinical & I will make sure to go...

Thanks everyone for your advice and input! Just heard some crazy things about this course and I want to be prepared by the first day of class :) I have only taken 2 HESI tests as well so these tests are going to be a bit different too

Okay! Thanks so much. I just wanna do well in each class that comes my way and the fact that I have month break i wanna take advantage of it :) I appreciate your advice!

Augurey, That is so interesting how you guys mix up the classes like that but at least subjects like A&P will be fresh on your mind! I took a&p1 and 2 about a year before I got into nursing school. Good luck on your finals next week! I'm sure...

Thanks! && yes that is so very true! There is nothing like connecting with patients. Every patient I have, makes me more determined and driven to learn all that I can to be the best nurse I can be for them :) we are so lucky to be going into ...

Nevergiveup, love your attitude :) you can do it! It's gonna be hard but once you get into nursing school and are introduced to new learning experiences, patients, fellow nursing students it's amazing and worth the fight and hard work you have been d...

Heather, that's awesome & yes it was quite the awakening. Pre requisites do not prepare you for this; as far as study habits! I'm glad your doing well as well and good luck with the rest of your semester I know medsurg isn't easy

& yea fearless leader! I agree...me time is something I will have, finally without feeling bad lol I live by a beach; it's not the best but it gives me the tan and relaxation I need :)

Thanks everyone! Just wanted to remind everyone that there is a light at the end of the tunnel ?and to never give up. Giving up is easy, getting up and doing something about it after is the hard part. Good luck to everyone again with finals and their...

Thanks! Wasn't the best time, but def worth it and ready to take on medsurg && seeing more exciting ' challenging things :)

In the program I am in, we use a "test strategies" book and it is great! Shows you how to execute specific types of questions you will see on these tests && also includes questions of different areas such as psych, fundamentals, medsurg etc

In clinical, volunteer for everything && anything! Don't be scared. You are there to learn and take advantage of your time there! It's a great experience! Study with people who study just as hard and no more than 3 people if you can help it ...

I could go on forever but I just finished my first semester and this is what worked for me and maybe some of these things will for you :) - be open to new kinds of learning. I stuck with just "reading and writing" cause that's how I learned in my pr...

I think that you should do great in A&P! It is memorization, but APPLICATION is key. I am currently in my first semester of nursing school and that's what I have learned. You can "memorize" all you want, but if you don't know how or WHY something...
