  1. Can somebody assist me in understanding this question?

    waterdrifter replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Update!! My classmate came to me yesterday and offered half of the cost of the laptop and paid me in cash. I am overjoyed. I did not discuss it further with her after the incident. Now I can buy a new...

  6. ATI Proctored Exams Scare Me! --- But I Rocked ATI Fundamentals Today!

    waterdrifter posted a topic in General Students

    ATI has always been something that I've loathed. I would much rather be learning these skills during skills lab but it seems that in my program we do the majority of learning through ATI. I was so...

  7. ATI Proctored Exams Scare Me! --- But I Rocked ATI Fundamentals Today!

    waterdrifter replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    I used the ATI fundamentals book. It was very helpful. I skimmed through the sections that I hadn't yet been introduced to in lab/theory. A good tip is to always use the nursing process when...

  8. Working in nursing school

    waterdrifter replied to Aarceneaux94's topic in General Students

    I would take the first week or two of school to gain a perspective on how much work you could handle. From my standpoint, nursing school is the hardest thing I've ever undertaken and I couldn't...

  9. Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    waterdrifter replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    waterdrifter replied to AnnieTheFrog's topic in School, College Programs

  11. Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    waterdrifter replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    I do feel really bad for her sake. At the same time however, I feel horrible on my end. All of my nursing theory papers were saved on this laptop as well as two quarters of lecture notes for theory...

  12. What should I study ahead?

    waterdrifter replied to june82's topic in General Students

    This is the best advice you can take out of this entire thread. I wish I would have relaxed before nursing school. It isn't to say that I was burnt out but my mental stamina definitely declined during...

    waterdrifter posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my second quarter of paho/pharm and I have having the darnedest time remembering side effects of specific drugs. I find it fairly easy to remember the serious side effects but when it comes to...

    waterdrifter replied to Mariax82's topic in General Students

    This may be going out on a limb, but my school uses a educational clearhinghouse to manage transcripts and enrollment information. You could try finding a clearinghouse that may have the...

  17. How many times were you rejected before getting into nursing program?

    waterdrifter replied to gp14's topic in General Students

    I was kind of a lucky fellow. I decided to pursue nursing school and only had enough time to get the prerequisites completed for only the one school in my area (ADN). I applied to the one school and...

  19. DUI as a student? What's to come?

    waterdrifter replied to justwondering1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am not sure if this will help but I found this flowchart which breaks down how the WA State licensure board determines if you can sit for the NCLEX or not. The interesting part to note is,...
