LordAnkh posted:Hey how did you study for the test? I'm taking it next week. I just bought the McGraw Hill practice book and I'm going through it. I studied more than a week  But seriously, I studied from xmas break to mid January because I had to get a good grade. I had the McGraw Hill 5 Practice Test book, and the ATI Study Guide. It was easyish stuff but I have been out of school a while so I was pretty rusty.

Roki B posted:Oh yeah, I forgot. The pay is starting at 21.50 an hour and you may end up spending upwards of a grand a month on a one bedroom appartment The gently caress? That seems outrageous for a lovely apartment. I live in a 2400 sq/ft, 5bedroom, 3.5 bath home that is 900 a month with a 15 yr mortgage...

Etrips posted:Up here in Northern Virginia, you would be paying about $1300/month for a ghetto single bedroom apartment, and up to $2000/month for a nicer area. That isn't surprising given proximity to DC. Minot is a place people go to die cold and alone.

So what exactly is the hardest part of nursing school? I'm 3rd semester BSN and am pretty disappointed with pace.

Guy Forget posted:So I'm taking microbiology right now, and as I'm reading through the last chapters of the textbook I see a reference to gammaproteobacteria and realize that all knowledge about those classifications has fallen out of my head despite learning it earlier this same semester. Sounds like somebody is in a gen-ed microbiology and not a microbiology for healthcare professionals? In short, forget most stuff that seems outside your realm of caring for patients.

Guy Forget posted:They're talking about how hard and confusing it all was, even though it's nothing more than basic algebra. I had to teach a few people how to do this stuff and it is really just an aha moment for them and everything else clicks into place. If your professor didn't have them understanding the basics within two lectures they are a bad professor. It is just basic stoichiometry in my mind.

White Chocolate posted:First day of real clinicals and two people didn't show up in my group. 2/9 no call no show and there is no make ups scheduled for my group... Oh boy. One girl dropped out. So we are down to 63... What. The. gently caress. Seriously, everyone in my school is tryhard as gently caress. It is impossible to get into the school so everyone is happy to go to class, and especially clinical.

MurderBot posted:I don't even know if NP schools accept students without any prior nursing experience?? Good ones do not. There is a minimum of 2 year experience required at my school, but they recommend more. PhD's in nursing research on the other hand they promote doing right after BSN because field is vastly different.

So there's this app called Figure 1 that has really cool medical cases and discussion about them. It's a pretty great place to learn random medical stuff that you might not normally encounter in your field. Edit: oh yeah, pictures on app are obviously

Cacafuego posted:Fwiw, my clinical sites didn't allow IV push by any nursing students, even supervised. I imagine there's a reason for that... I will always remember my first clinical. Taking report, going to med room to retrieve IV Push Morphine and going to repack GSW's. I love inner city clinical sites!

This is 4th Nursing (6th overall), It's Med Surg 2, Psych, and Research. My other semesters there has always been that one class with a lot of assignments, but this semester all 3 classes and their associated practicums have assloads of assignments and presentations.
