  7. ATI Fundamentals Exam

    If you have access to the ATI fundamentals practice exams, do those. We had to take that exam, and several of the questions were very similar to what was on the practice exams. Good
  8. To old for nursing school?

    I'm 27 and I just finished my first semester of nursing school. Many of my classmates are around my age, and several are in their 40s/50s. So, no, you're not "too

  10. Decided to continue going back after giving birth

    I went back to school to finish pre-reqs when my twins were 11 months old. I'm in my first semester of nursing school, and my twins are two years old now. Having people to support you and help with...
  11. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    If/when we're allowed to record lectures, I'm planning to hand write my notes and listen to the lectures again afterward so I can fill in anything I missed. If there are times when we're not allowed...
  12. ATI Skills Modules

    That's very helpful! I actually didn't know I could take the tests more than once. Thank
  13. ATI Skills Modules

    Classes haven't even started yet and I'm already feeling a little stressed out. We were assigned two ATI skills modules to complete before the first day of classes, and I have gotten very low scores...
  14. I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    His behavior when you called back was rude, but if he was truly evil and hated his job, he wouldn't have been so kind and helpful the first time. Your sister won't learn how to interact with others if...
  15. Anatomy Help!

    Pay attention in class, take notes, and don't miss class. Make the most of your lab time and take advantage of open lab time if it's offered. Flash cards are helpful--I made my own. You can also cover...
  16. Feeling discouraged in nursing school with little sleep

    Putting him in his own room will probably help, although unfortunately it sounds like it might be a while before that's possible. I shared a room with my twins for quite a while, but eventually I had...
  17. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    I bought my shoes for clinical! Ours have to be white. I bought the Skechers Sport with memory foam. I decided to go with the ones without laces--I figured the laces would probably get dirty easily...
  18. School Supplies Ideas

    At our orientation, they advised us to treat lecture, lab, and clinical as three separate classes, so I bought three 1-inch binders. I'm color-coding each section so I can stay organized, so I picked...
  19. Too many recommendation letters?

    I was allowed to submit more than two and my school would consider the best two for my application, but seven might be a bit excessive. I wasn't even allowed to look at mine--my school had a form to...
  20. I love it when men act like they're the #1 experts on women. It's even better when they repeatedly refer to us as
  21. Does it matter whether I have an AA or AS degree?

    Okay, it looks like I did misunderstand. I'm sorry. Maybe I was thinking of the RN-BSN programs? Or maybe I just have no idea what I'm talking about, haha. I'm glad some more knowledgeable people were...
  22. Does it matter whether I have an AA or AS degree?

    Are you going to community college for nursing or for something else? I have an AS in early childhood education, but I can't transfer for a BSN with that. I'm starting with the associates degree in...
  23. First Semester Prerequisite Courses!

    I agree with windsurfer8. Work hard and get good grades the first time. I honestly didn't even know retaking classes was an option until I read posts about it here. You've been through college before...
  24. Is nursing for me?

    What about some sort of non-nursing mental health profession (e.g. therapist), or social work? You could help people and make a difference while avoiding bodily fluids (probably--I honestly don't know...
