Hey guys! I feel like I haven't logged on here for a long time! So I just finished my first semester of nursing school :)! It was an eye opener! 1. The very first thing I learned was that nursing school exams are NOTHING like the exams you take for ...

So this morning, after my alarm clock rudely woke me up (so ruuuuude ) , I engaged in my terrible terrible habit of getting on facebook immediately after shutting my alarm off on my phone. I am friends with a few nursing students and they are always ...

I am the exact same way. (reserved, introverted, and slow to warm up to others) I start nursing school in January and I am worried about this. During my training for my CNA my clinical instructor gave me a review of..."You are such a sweetheart, you...

Sorry I have been MIA for the last few weeks. Been busy getting thing squared away with school and of course finishing up A&P II . Needing some advice from you all. So basically, I have to work in order to keep my bills paid, currently I work t...

Thank you for the advice! I have a meeting coming up with my supervisor for the new job, she is going to give me tour and some more background about the new job. I think that I will be able to make a more adequate decision after that.

Been reading this thread for awhile now. I figure I would give it a "bump" since Halloween is this weekend! Hope to get some new additions! :Ghost:

I originally wanted to go to medical school and become an MD. But once I started working on my Bachelor's degree I was having a hard time with all of the math and science courses. So I decided to leave university and do some more research on what I w...

Yaaay for Spring 2016! I just registered for my courses yesterday! I have lecture and lab on Mondays (2-8p) Pharmacology and Health Assessment on Wednesdays (2-8p) Clinical will be on Thursdays but they haven't let us know the schedules as of yet. ...

Vein viewer? Is this a real thing? IVs are one of the things I am most nervous about placing during nursing school. So I am all about this vein viewer. What do you all think about it?

I am currently in A&P II. I haven't found much difference in difficulty between the two because they go into the same details it just differs in the systems. In A&P I we went over integumentary, bones, muscles, nervous, and special senses. No...

It awesome that these really exist! Never seen them used at any of my area hospitals. I am a hard stick when it comes to IVs and taking my blood, they actually had to get an ultrasound out and use it !!! I know the pain of having a nervous nurse or t...

All of my online exams could be taken anywhere I had internet connection. We could use our books and notes but the exams were timed. They were basically timed where if you studied and knew the material then you would have enough time to complete the ...

This week I learned.... -That hard work indeed pays off! -I am going to have to leave my full time job come January for nursing school, and I didn't realize how attached I am to this place. I am going to miss it. I am lucky enough that we will be ab...

I was texting with my classmate, filling her in on what she missed in our A&P II class. We are both applying for the same ADN program for Spring 2016 admission. She messaged me back to tell me that she got her rejection email. I was confused beca...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am glad to hear that tears of joy are a typical reaction And good luck to those still waiting to hear about acceptance!

Microbiology is indeed a monster I found that recording lectures and listening to them again really helped me. The website quizlet helped me a lot as well. Utilize your book as well! Read and reread the process of aerobic and anaerobic respiration a...

I am starting nursing school in January as well. I have found some nursing students on youtube that have given me some great advice and also shared specific books and materials they use to help get them through nursing school. You should check a few ...

After I got my acceptance letter to start nursing school in January (still on cloud 9!!) I had to make the oh so vital decision on how to announce my good news on the place where everyone goes to "update" all their friends on their recent accomplishm...

Sorry for the lateness!! This week I learned.... -The heart is actually harder to learn then I thought it would be. In my MA program we learned the basics of the heart anatomy so this doesn't even compare. Tips and tricks please! -I put in my applica...

Ummmm....no one warned me about how gnarly a sheep heart looks.....

Thank you!! gaaaaah! I am so excited!!

I have been a medical assistant for 3 years (almost 4 now) . But I work in a medical clinic. They don't utilize us very much in the hospital setting. But I get a TON of patient contact everyday between 30-60 patients a day. What you do as an MA is co...

Did you get your grade back? You may have done better than you think! I am the same way, I always freak after taking the test and then I find out that I actually didn't do bad at all. I am taking A&P II right now. One thing that I am finding (fo...

This week I learned.... -Studying for an entire day straight is more exhausting than I thought! -I feel like there is never enough hours in a day!! -My family immediate family is having trouble dealing with my busy schedule. My parents complain that...

I found Micro really interesting as well, and it also made a little more aware of germs I am also taking 3 courses this semester and I have become the queen of time management lol
