    Does your nursing school offer test review

    Quota replied to Isabelle49's topic in General Students

    Some of my classes have exam reviews where the instructor will go over rationals and sometimes we can even argue points back for some answers. I find it very helpful knowing why the right answer is...

    Messed up in Clinical

    Quota replied to BSN89's topic in General Students

    Your clinical instructor is the one giving you a grade. If she says you're doing okay and to stop putting so much pressure on yourself listen to her. The other student who yelled at you and is...

    Multiple IV's for one student, none for the rest... Is this usual during clinical?

    Quota replied to Sherijo71's topic in General Students

    We won't even be doing IVs in my program. As for some people getting more skills opportunities than others that absolutely happens. It's factor of who their clinical instructor is, what clinical...

    Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    Quota replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    With my savings from working for 13 years I had enough to cover my ABSN program and my living expenses for my 12 month program. It would leave me with very little savings left, though not touch my...

    Commute time to hospital job

    Quota replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    Still a student but I plan to work at the hospital right by my house, big new grad hiring program so shouldn't be a problem. Takes about 10 minutes worst case to get there. My career change was...

    Nurse Residency Program vs. Entry Level/New Grad Nurse Jobs?

    Quota replied to CassColl's topic in General Students

    I'm currently in an accelerated program and this is pretty much what my OB clinical instructor (who works at that hospital) told us about residency programs at least within this hospital system. A...

    Students (and others) using staff parking

    Quota replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Glad this isn't an issue at the sites I have clinical at. We are told to park in the employee parking garage, our ID badges give us access to the restricted entrance. There is plenty of space...

    What was the first thing you learned in Nursing School?

    Quota replied to Murse336's topic in General Students

    We covered hand washing and PPE in orientation boot camp before classes started (accelerated program). Patho started with fluid and electrolyte balances, fundamentals and health assessments focused on...

    Expired Courses

    Quota replied to klp2006's topic in General Students

    Yeah I really didn't want to repeat chemistry either. Took 16 credits with my biology degree, full year of general and full year of organic chemistry. I made it about halfway through the khan academy...

    Expired Courses

    Quota replied to klp2006's topic in General Students

    Depends on the program I guess. I'm in an accelerated program right now after getting a BS in Biology back in 2004. My stats and psych classes didn't expire so I didn't need to repeat them. Hadn't...

    Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    Quota replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I usually get INTJ, sometimes INTP. Half way through nursing school right now, no clue where I want to work yet other than the hospital. I didn't dislike medsurg so unless I really enjoy one of my...

    Advice: Job Before ABSN

    Quota replied to coffeeshopper's topic in General Students

    I'd recommend sticking with the marketing job and bringing in as much money as you can now. I'm in the middle of an aBSN program right now and I do not work. Realistically I could probably manage...

    e-Book or Physical Text Book

    Quota replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    I'm just old and set in my ways and prefer having a physical book to read for school vs an ebook. I will be honest and admit I haven't given ebooks a real chance for school either. I'm fine with...

    Do you have a previous bachelors degree before going into nursing? (RPN/RN/LPN)

    Quota replied to suits2scrubz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in an aBSN program so we all have previous bachelors degrees. At 24 you wouldn't be the youngest in my cohort but the vast majority are older than 24. I'm about to be 36 in a few weeks...

    We have good PowerPoints that cover that important material, just use the book to clarify things you aren't sure about. Also use book for case studies and writing care plan for clinical. Our...

    Maternity is KILLING me. Is it just my school?

    Quota replied to swacho's topic in General Students

    My OB rotation is just 5 weeks, taking my final tomorrow. Wasn't too bad because our professor and my clinical instructor are awesome. While it's a lot of information it's not really a full semesters...

    Does your school require badge checks before an exam?

    Quota replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    We take our tests at home on our computers, or at school on their computers if you want, so logging into blackboard is our identification. Vast majority of my tests are open book, open note but with...

    Working nights w/ barking/needy dogs that probably wouldn't let me sleep during the day

    Quota replied to lmb93's topic in General Nursing

    Dogs adapt pretty well. As long as they are getting their needed exercise and mental stimulation they'll chill out and sleep when you sleep. I'm still in school but odds are I'll end up working...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    I like when I strongly agree, they make me laugh, and sometimes because they said basically what I planned on saying. Absolutely have to go see what post got a like when I open AN and see the...
