    Wiggly Litchi replied to blenderbottle's topic in General Students

    I suffer pretty badly with stress and one thing that really helps me is just to take one day at a time. Instead of thinking "Oh my goooosh if I don't become a nurse, I'm ruined!" make day-to-day...

    a & p & english 101

    Wiggly Litchi replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My english 101 class consisted of 5 papers - it wasn't English lit. Where there was a lot of reading. The papers were generally short MLA primers more than anything. If writing is your jam, then you...

    Will my natural hair prevent me from getting a job in the future?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to cinderfloof's topic in General Students

    I live in Memphis, TN and we have a HUGE African American population. I have seen nurses with all kinds of natural hairstyles and honestly, you're fine as long as 1) your hair doesn't get in the way...

    help with APA format for personal statement

    Wiggly Litchi replied to gatorRN04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Microsoft word has an APA template you can use, as does Purdue OWL. There's also a style manual you can buy which has been a super worthy investment imo, but everything that can be found in there, is...

    drug testing for nursing school

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Arizona2bnurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's the deal with study groups?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to boiledcabbage's topic in General Students

    Depends on the group honestly - I find that a few things generally happen: 1 - Some folks treat it as more of a social outing, and it's hard to keep everyone focused 2 - One person ends up acting like...

    Simplenursing.com?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to LavenderRN's topic in General Students

    These extra resources aren't bad, but I'm not sure if I'd pay for anything other than uWorld really, and that won't be until closer to the time I take the NCLEX. RegisteredNurseRN has some amazing...

    Simplenursing.com?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to LavenderRN's topic in General Students

    Nrsng.com I heard was another good one. I'd also heard that simplenursing does have some mistakes in his videos, but I'm unsure of that since I'm still just a student

    How many hours do you study for?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to LubbDubb77's topic in General Students

    It varies depending on the person - a good rule of thumb is that you need to study at least 3~4 hours in your own time per credit hour for the course. So a 3 credit hour course would mean that you...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Showdee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Should be alright if you can devote enough time to it. Philosophy can be a lot of reading so prepare yourself and don't forget to take some really great notes. There's a few resources like shmoop and...
