I am not yet in the nursing program but making my way there. Our program is in a small town and at a tech school. The program is very challenging though. I was just astonished to hear the stats of last semester. The third sem is Acute Care and out of...

For the first time I failed an exam I failed the muscle lab exam It was really hard for me. I was so confused when looking at the models. I had a really solid high B in the class and now have an 88. To me that is not good. I am used to much better. M...

Thanks for replying to my post. t is actually a good thing in my opinion to take the Bio 110 class. I took it last sem under Mr. malachowsky, who is a riot. I love him to death, awesome instructor. Don't know mr. Green though. The class really is goo...

My instructor, who is great by the way, didn't even advise us to make flashcards for bones, just get lots of lab time in for the actual bones. For muscles and histology he advised flashcards would help greatly.

Wow, that is not good. I can't beleive it. I guess they are weeding out those that can't handle it. Our semester is the Acute Care semester that they get such high failure rates. It makes me just that much more determined. I am ready for it. I am pre...

Horry Georgetown is a beautiful school. I saw it on a trip to the beach and was surprised that it looked like that. Don't mean it in a neg. way but it is not what I expected. So how far are you in the program and what's it like there. Is there a wati...

Hi if there are any FDTC nursing students or pre-nursing students on Allnurses shout it out. Looking for someone to partner with thrughout the rest of our educations. Gonna need it from what I hear.

WOW, Daytonit That was awesome. thanks a lot for all that information. I guess I will get there soon ebough,but that was great. I got my test back and you were right it was F&E and though we are not that informed we had enough info to infer what ...

I am a student still doing my prerequisites. My A&P instructor on our exams is in a way preparing the nursing students for the critical thinking aspect of the nursing program. We had a question on an exam today that I think really clicked. This w...

I am only a student but it seems to me like the questions are being answered for the original poster. I would suggest to her or anyone posting things of this nature to first write down your questions and assumptions(what you think the answer is), the...

Now this is an awesomw thread. I will be taking Pharm in the Fall. Keep it coming and THANKS a unch. I heard Pharmocoly can be pretty demanding. I am keeping up with this thread most definitly.

I Was just simply wandering if I could get some input on the best areas for new graduate nurses to start. I am just a student now ,but the way I see it, you can never plan too early. I will begin clinicals in the fall and I was curious to know what o...

Some of the replies made me realize that I am not alone. I can't stand people who arrive late especially like 15 mins before class ends, I'm like why the heck did you show up. I can't stand the know it all or the person who always has a family stor...

I am not trying to be negative at all because ou seem to be an excellent student. But I am still doing my pre-reqs and from what I hear from all the NUR students ahead of me that A&P is the founation to the nursing classes. I mean they emphasize ...

Oh, I am glad that helped you. The nicer areas are located in South Florence. That is where I live. I live seconds away from Carolinas Hospital. I can see the Hospital from my house as a matter of fact. The two areas that I would stay away from, tho...

I only heard bout this but I was shocked beyond belief when I heard this. My nursing instructor brought it up in class today. An 86 year old woman was on good morning america last wekk and she had a one yr old child that she gave birth to (natrually)...

Hi I am a nursing student in Florence. It is actually a nice area. there isn't much to do here. I have alot of family ndfriends working at Carolinas Hospital. My grandmother even volunteers there. I have only heard good things about it. McLeod is her...

When I was in High school I volunteered during the summer as a candy striper. I was in ER leaving oneday a man came in with a gerbil stuck in his bum(anus) . It took all I had not to laugh. He was so dramatic, yelling to the triage nurse through the ...

I have all girls, 4 to be exact. My first baby 12 months which was somewhat hard. I was a very young mother and was still in high school ,but I held out til she turned 1 yr. My second daughter started to get teeth really earky and she was a biter. I ...

It depends on the program I think. In your case the BiO class it shouldn't count against you. Once you are in the school of nursing and taking core classes a W does count. That is just at my particular school. We also have the three strike rule. If y...

Me and my girlfriends ave decided on a power lunch, where after we have graduated we will al be successful young women and we will go to a nice resturant, dressed nice and have a lovely time. Seems small and a bit corny but it is our motivation. We a...

I checked this out sometime ago and it is not accredited.

My best friend and I deciided we would venture into nursing last summer.We decided to stay together the whole road. During our pre-reqs she hit a hard time and lost focus. I passed the classes and she didn't. I think she may have resented me for doin...

Oh she was 66 years old. My instructor must have been mistaken. that doesn't make it as bad, I guess but that is still pretty old to have a baby. To each his own I always say. It is almost sad though, for the child I mean. People are living lnger th...

I am so glad that someone brought this to the forum. I am a nursing student in a small town. There is also a university here. When I tell people that I go to the Technical College and not the university they always ask why. They automatically think t...
