Of course, you can come to every meeting even if you are not a member. Although, being a member saves you money on the pharm review as well as the various discounts offered on-line, etc. Are you...

I have the Iggy book and like it better than the Lewis book. When I updated my Evolve CDs 2nd semester, I gained access to med-surg from Iggy, Swearingen and Lewis. I use all
Welcome to ECC! This is the way the entire program is. By the way, I checked the board today in front of the skills lab and there is still nothing posted. The "magic message board" asks incoming...
In short, NO! I agree with everything Dream said. I am a 3rd semester student at ECC. This was the best choice for me because of the money. I had to quit my full-time job of 18 years in order to...

Yes, She is great! I had her last semester for clinicals at Presby Dallas. I can only speak about her as a clinical instructor, but I'm sure you'll love her. She is very supportive instructor that...

I actually purchased one for 2nd semester that had a handle and calculator. The extra storage space came in handy because we had A LOT more paperwork than in 1st semester. One of my instructors...
I have the Mosby drug cards and the Mediquick drug cards. I also have Nursing drug books that I use for clincials (this is what I end up using for everything!) I liked the Mediquick format the best,...

No news yet! I really don't want to wait until January 2! Ms. P moves you around so you can see and do a lot. I did 2 Foleys and several injections at Parkland and observed a C-section with BTL...

Yes, she is the BEST! I learned a lot from her. She was my 1st choice last semester and I recommended her to anyone who asked me my opinion. She expects you to come prepared to clinical with all...
I used the HESI book by answering the review questions at the end of the sections in which I was least familiar with and taking the practice tests on the CD. I think taking the practice tests helped...
You definately need your clinical syllabus. I used that both semesters. We did have to sign a form from the course syllabus, but if you were determined not to purchase it, you could easily get a...
I did use the syllabus for the 1st test because I didn't know what to expect. I made a 98 on that test. From that point on, I worked directly from the blueprint. In my opinion the blueprint allows...

I can relate to exactly what you are saying. I have very low self-esteem and up until considering the RN program, I have nevery finished anything I have ever started. The point is if you do want to...

I'm still here and loving it. I tried to listen for ya'll during lecture. There were so many of us stuffed in that room I couldn't see everyone that was speaking. There are only 9 in our clinical....

The way it's set up so far is 4 days a week we are at school through week 7 and then beginning with week 8 we switch to clinicals at the hospital 2 days a week (or some have one long day). That...
